[DarkSlay]

Well, these Pokemon are a bit unexpected. No matter: we should still be good.

Go, Lumber the Conkeldurr!

You've been a good friend for so long, and I'm relying on you. Take this Black Belt to intimidate your foes!

[Dummy007]

"Strangely, I think Hermione can do the best here; perhaps this Focus Sash could be of assistance? Now that that's settled, let's see how best not to get totally destroyed. Perhaps this...?"

Summary:
Attract -> Psychic -> Psychic; if Lumber uses Detect, change that action to Swords Dance and push actions back; if Lumber uses a damaging Fighting-type move, change that action to Counter and push actions back

[DarkSlay]

Well, I did a bit of research on that second substitution. While apparently "catch-all" subs like that are legal, substitutions that use Counter in them only work if the Pokemon moves second in turn order, so that substitution will not work (thank goodness for me).

With that out of the way, let's go ahead and leave the outcome of this to Lady Luck.

Focus Punch -> Hammer Arm -> Drain Punch

[Dummy007]

SURPRISE POST DUE TO FAILURE

Let's make this Switch = OK.

Like I said in IRC, don't feel rushed to get through our battle. You have a lot of reffings to do, but pace them out.

I appreciate it. Thanks AOPS.

My comments in bold.

- Hammer Arm is 10 BAP, not 8. It also gets an Iron Fist boost. See above.
- Drain Punch also gets an Iron Fist boost. For some reason, this one is right while the others aren't, for the above reasons.
- Psychic is 9 BAP, not 10 BAP. I hope you weren't doing that in my other battle as well as a side note. :( (If you did, I'm not mad. Just mad I didn't catch it in the first round. Just change it for Ankhles in the second round.) This calc is also right. 6 + User Weight Class = 6 + 4 = 10 BAP.

To sum it up, Lucario should be dead, and I should be at 90 HP. Dummy and I calced it ourselves, and I got a second opinion from Texas and Veemon. It would be best if you re-calced it, though, for practice. I'll be away for a couple days, and I'll send out Draco if Hermione is actually dead.

[DarkSlay]

Dummy is correct. For some reason, didn't see that he had a Focus Sash. Also, didn't know Psychic was changed to reflect the Weight Class addition. See his post then for the correct corrections.
