Pretty even round, Necturine took a bit more direct damage, but got those statuses effects in that could help her later on down the road. Still anyone's battle for sure. This is obviously a battle of two skilled players

With that burn and poison slowly taking effect, and the NVE attacks that Lotad continues to use on Necturine, you would think it'd be much more in Necturine's favor. But someone Lotad continues to fight with everything it's got. Torment limits Lotad for now, but that should wear off soon enough.

[Dummy007]

"Now for the grand finale!"

Summary:
FROZEN FURY (Ice Beam + Ice Beam combo) -> Cool Down (Surf) -> Ice Beam

Wow! After that display of great power, Lotad is down for the count! But Necturine isn't too far behind, surviving just barely! Still not much of a lead between these two, although those toxic spikes are still up on the field to poison Dummy's next pokemon!

[Dummy007]

":( You did your best, Beetle! Let's let Samuel see some action for the first time while holding his nifty Exp. Share!"

"Ugh, let's see how best not to get killed. I think our best plan of attack is to switch to Moroni."

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Counter switch to Munchlax, earthquake, fire blast, earthquake
If roar is used at any point, change actions to Earthquake, Whirlwind, Earthquake

[Dummy007]

"This looks like it will be quite an interesting matchup. Let's hope for the best, Moroni!"

"That went quite well. Now, assuming Texas comes back..."

Summary:
Cool Down (Chill) -> Chill -> Head Smash

[Pwnemon]

WAIT NO

i multiplied by 1.5 instead of 1.75 on the combo calc i think

yeah i did

aron is dead

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Screech, Earthquake, Earthquake

yes i will unretire for you dummy, feel proud :)

oh. or that

[Dummy007]

HOLD IT!

I remember discussing Metal Burst's mechanics once on IRC with LouisCyphre, and we concluded that Metal Burst uses damage TAKEN for energy calcs (like Counter and Mirror Coat do), not damage GIVEN (like Bide does; this was, according to Lou, done purely to shaft Bide). Therefore, the combo should have used up 50.3125 energy, not 90-whatever.

[Pwnemon]

okay, that's rather logical

in that case, aron is at 100-11-10-49 = 30 en

still low tho lol
