And the arena for today is... the Energy Core!
Arena: The Energy Core
Field Type: All Types
Complexity: Moderate
Format: All Formats
Restrictions: All attacks are allowed.
Description:
Located deep in the basement of an unnamed research facility, a medium-sized cube-shaped room perfect for battling has been set aside for... special experimentation. A strange spherical device has been placed in the exact center of the room, known to the researches and scientists of the facility as "the Energy Core," or more colloquially, "the Core." It is said to absorb energy and expel it once its capacity has been reached, although so far it has proven to be not only temperamental and volatile but also quite dangerous to be around; both the energy it has absorbed and the energy it has expelled have been potentially fatal. As battlers, you have decided that there's nowhere better to fight than in a room with a Core that absorbs energy from every living being; the researchers hope that you'll get out alive.
In this arena, all attacking moves receive a penalty of -1 BP, as the Core absorbs some of the energy used from the attack; multi-target attacks are more prone to this absorption, and as such suffer -2 total BAP, which is then divided to account for the multi-target penalty. For each attacking move used, the Core absorbs energy equal to the energy cost of the attacking move; multi-target attacks cause the Core to absorb 150% of the energy cost of the attack, rounded normally, instead of the normal 100%. Non-attacking moves do not receive a penalty, although energy equal to 50% of the energy cost of the move, rounded normally, is still absorbed by the Core. Global effects that are not weather effects, such as Wonder Room, Light Screen, and Safeguard give the Core 1 EN at the end of each action, while global weather effects give the Core 3 EN at the end of each action.
At the end of each round, the Core will do something with the energy it has stored, the probabilities of which are based upon how much energy the Core has already stored. In the table below, the probabilities are given, along with an energy cost for each; once the event has occurred, that amount of energy is to be deducted from the Core. If the Core would use an event that it does not have the energy for, roll again for the event selected, within the tree that has been selected. Once the event has been chosen, if the Core has enough energy to select the Empowered version of the event, roll the RNG again; there will be a 70% chance that the Core uses the Empowered version, and a 30% that the Core will use the Standard version. If the Core has enough to select the Hyper version, if applicable, then the chances are 10%, 30%, and 60% for Normal, Empowered, and Hyper. The Core has 5 Atk, 5 SpA, cannot miss with its attacks, has a permanent +1 critical rate, and cannot be destroyed by any means.
