Arena: Type Changing Arena
Field Type: All Types
Complexity: Simple
Formats: All Formats

Restrictions: All moves are allowed.

Description:
It's the standard arena, except somebody has implanted a strange device in the middle of the field! For the duration of the first round, this device is off. After the end of each round, though, it beeps and suddenly alters the elemental makeup of the arena, giving certain benefits to certain types and detriments to some other ones. Each time the makeup is altered, a random type is chosen. All attacking moves whose types hit the chosen type for super effective damage have 2 more BAP, while all attacking moves whose types hit the chosen type for not very effective or zero damage have 2 less BAP.

Summary: Certain types get buffed every round.

No I most definitely did not steal this challenge from when Engineer challenged me. No siree.

Tonight's warriors are...

ROUND 1: HELLO. I AM A ROBOT.

UNFORTUNATELY [CENSORED] IS LATE TO HIS REFEREE DUTIES. I WILL BE ACTING IN HIS STEAD UNTIL HE RETURNS.

FLAMESTRIKE IS FIGHTING DANMANTINCAN. FLAMESTRIKE SENDS OUT A SCORPION SPECIMEN. DANMANTINCAN SENDS OUT A SHELLED SPECIMEN.

THE SCORPION SPECIMEN ATTACKS WITH ACROBATIC MANEUVERS. THE SHELL SPECIMEN SHOOTS APPROXIMATELY 500 LITERS OF WATER.

THE SCORPION SPECIMEN CAUSES AN EARTHQUAKE. THE SHELL SPECIMEN BREATHES FIRE.

THE SCORPION SPECIMEN AND SHELL SPECIMEN REPEAT THEIR FIRST ACTIONS.

THE SHELL SPECIMEN HAS AN ADVANTAGE BY ONE HIT POINT. ATTACKS EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE NORMAL TYPE WILL GAIN POWER.

OkayI'mhere! *pant, pant*...sorry I'm late, bike broke down. What'd I miss?

FLAMESTRIKE AND DANMANTINCAN HAVE RECALLED THEIR INITIAL SPECIMENS.

...Uh huh...uh huh...yeah, and have sent out Musclestrike the Gurdurr and Micaiah the Ralts, respectively!

THE STEEL BEAM SPECIMEN ALLOWS HIMSELF TO BE HARMED WHILE THE DRESS SPECIMEN EMPLOYS WHAT APPEARS TO BE TELEKINESIS.

Yeah, Muscle's, uh, Biding his time while Micaiah smacks him around with her Psychic powers. She also tries to wrap him in Confusion, and while it does a goodly amount of damage, it doesn't actually mess up his concentration.

ALL THE DAMAGE THE STEEL BEAM SPECIMEN HAS SUFFERED IS REPAID UNTO THE DRESS SPECIMEN. THE DRESS SPECIMEN IS GRAVELY INJURED.

Of course, she's still gonna have some fun with Psychic. Hey, looks like the field's changing to something...Isn't that ghost-type? Yeah, it is.

FLAMESTRIKE HAS A FIFTY. ONE. POINT. ZERO. ZERO. ZERO. ZERO. ZERO. ZERO. ZERO. ONE. EIGHT. PERCENT CHANCE OF SUCCEEDING IN THIS BATTLE.

...Hey! Am I gonna be dealing with this thing for the whole battle?

It's your own fault for being late, slacker!

HELLO. I AM A ROBOT. I AM SERVING AS CO-REFEREE IN THIS BATTLE. THE DRESS SPECIMEN APPEARS TO BE ESTABLISHING A TELEPATHIC LINK WITH THE SCORPION SPECIMEN.

...They call that Destiny Bond, robot. Which ends up doing a crapton of damage when Flame's Gligar takes Micaiah out with a Faint Attack, albeit not enough to KO him.

THIS ELEVATES FLAMESTRIKE'S CHANCE OF SUCCESS TO SIXTY. THREE. POINT. EIGHT. TWO. SEVEN. FIVE. FIVE. THREE. FO-

That's nice, robot. Tune in next week!

"Nail him with an Acrobatics, then dodge his Hydro Pump with an evasive Agility before finishing off with another Acrobatics"

Summary:
Acrobatics -> evasive Agility -> Acrobatics

EDIT: I realized just before seeing your post lol.

You realize evasive agility fails if used in succession, right?

HELLO. I AM A RO-

Dude, you've said that for the past three rounds. They know who you are.

DO NOT INTERRUPT, MEATBAG. *BLAM*

...

HELLO. I AM A ROBOT. I WILL BE REFEREEING FOR THE DURATION OF THIS BATTLE, AS [CENSORED] MUST UNDERGO MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE SCORPION AND SHELLED SPECIMENS ARE CURRENTLY ACTIVE.

THE SCORPION SPECIMEN ATTACKS THE SHELLED SPECIMEN WITH GRACEFUL MOVEMENTS. THE SHELLED SPECIMEN RETALIATES WITH A BLAST OF WATER.

THE SCORPION SPECIMEN DODGES ANOTHER BLAST OF WATER.

THE SCORPION SPECIMEN CONTINUES HIS ACROBATIC MANEUVERS AS THE SHELLED SPECIMEN BREATHES FIRE. ATTACKS EFFECTIVE AGAINST MARTIAL ARTISTS ARE STRONGER NOW.

FLAMESTRIKE IS IN THE LEAD, WITH A SIXTY. FIVE. POINT. NINE. NINE. NINE. NINE. NINE. SEVEN. FOUR. EIGHT. PERCENT CHANCE OF SUCCESS.
