Default Leader Athenodoros vs Yarnus of Bethany

To clarify: I had stated I would never ref another water gym battle. They always devolve into arguments about unexplored areas of the rules up for interpretation, and often batshit crazy amounts of luck. I figured that since this is singles, my luck as a ref might be better I earnestly hope so, anyway.

3v3 Singles
3 Day DQ
Switch=OK
Items On
All Abilities
2 Substitutions
Unlimited Recoveries and Chills

Water Gym Arena


Team Athenodoros:

Lapras
Krillowatt
Slowking
Cloyster
Starmie
Swampert


Team Yarnus of Bethany:
Stomp! The Sawsbuck (33 moves)

Zzz! The Snorlax (46 moves)

Zap! The PorygonZ (40 moves)


Mono-type gym challenges, particularly those of types that don't give the challenger an advantage, are quite rare. Not saying it's good or bad, but I guess we'll see soon enough.

Aqua=Athenodoros leads
Magma=Yarnus of Bethany leads
1=Aqua
2=Magma
Result

Leader Athenodoros sends out his first Pokemon with an item equipped, Yarnus of Bethany sends out a Pokemon with items and orders, Leader Athenodoros orders

I'm not quite sure how to take a monotype challenge. I guess I'll just go with this little beauty:



He can have an Enigma Berry. Good luck.

Sending in Snorlax@Full Insense

Seed Bomb, Earthquake Whirlwind
If Counter and Whirlwind has not suceeded yet, Whirlwind and push actions down
If Dive and whirlwind is not issued, Skull Bash

BTW, all my mons are Normal type, so it's not on purpose.

And that's why everyone uses Krill.

Arena: No Changes

Two very high HP Pokemon enter the arena, willing to pound each other into the dust. Krillowatt hangs back, ready to reflect anything the Snorlax can do and more. This makes the hulking beast wary, and it opts to inhale before roaring, with the force of the winds slowly pushing Krillowatt closer and closer to the limits of the arena.

Snorlax then tries to find a source of plants to toss at Krillowatt, but can't seem to find any in this icy arena! Krillowatt is waiting for something to reflect, but can't as no attack is successfully used by the challenger.

Finally getting something together, Snorlax causes the ice to shatter around him in a massive wave of seismic activity that pushes him into the water, and deals quite a bit of damage to Krill. Of course, right before getting pushed out of bounds, Krill smiles.

And then a real Earthquake begins.

Slowking @ Enigma Berry

Seriously, the most underrated item in ASB.

This doesn't look like too bad a round, considering. I thought that not having any weaknesses to exploit would go badly, but I forgot about brute force:

Protect ~ Surf ~ Surf

Both trainers end up switching their Pokemon- volutarily or not- and the match changes to Slowking vs Porygon-Z. Yarnus orders his Pokemon to swap his... "item" for Slowking's but the thievery is blocked by a quick telekinetic shield that blocks any such encroachment. Porygon-Z then blasts out a burst of energy that strikes Slowking, but is quickly mitigated by a bite into a berry. Slowking then starts making waves of icy water sweep across the arena, devestating Porygon as it tries to blast out a pulse of dark energy, that fails to do much but destroy the Slowking's berry. Then the ice breaks, and both Pokemon fall in.

Nasty Plop sounds like a terrible move. One to watch out for, definitely.

Hydro Pump ~ Blizzard ~ Hydro Pump
IF
Solarbeam AND it isn't in a combo AND you didn't last action, use Mirror Coat
IF Solarbeam AND it is in a combo, use Substitute (15)

Krillowatt proceeds to risk quite a bit by blasting out a flurry of inaccurate but powerful attacks, such as tremendous pulses of water and a freezing storm. Porygon-Z plays with more trickery, and siphons energy from Krillowatt into its own body, significantly evening the matchup. However, between the attacks and freezing water, it's hard for the digital Pokemon to maintain the status quo. It then steals an Enigma Berry, and shoots out a beam of light that deals considerable damage for a neutral attack.

You forgot PorygonZ's abilities. And if I'm reading the arena correctly, since PorygonZ can z magnet rise, it doesn't take damage from the water.

My interpretation is that since Porygon-Z was not levitating at the moment (was not using Mag Rise), it would not logically be out of the water. I will fix the abilities though.

Krilowatt slips under the ice quickly as Porygon-Z tries to funnel its energy, but can't find the rapidly moving shellfish under the frozen water. Of course, the shellfish can find it, and manages to strike right between the duck's floating component's for a temporary disruption of data, scoring a critical hit! Porygon-Z is angry, and blasts back one of the move's it is known for: an absurdly powerful flash of light... which backfires. Krillowatt glows equally brightly, and then shoots back an even more powerful lazer that sends Porygon-Z flying to the far end of the dome, where it smacks against it loudly before dissolving into data.
