We're already having to face the RNG, but we'll be able to pull out ahead regardless!

Round 1: A Poisonous Confrontation

Greetings everyone, Maxim here. The battle between Engineer Pikachu and LockDown is about to start. It looks like they've issued their actions, so let's see what happens!

Swinub starts off with a bang, sending a Rock Slide towards the Venonat which does a pretty beefy amount of damage. In fact, it seems like the Slide has made the Venonat flinch! That's going to hurt Engineer. Swinub stays one step ahead of his opponent, Digging underground to avoid damage, but Venonat throws out some Toxic Spikes instead. That's going to hurt LockDown later on. Then Swinub comes up and surprisingly does about as much damage as the Rock Slide did. Venonat, not willing to take anymore damage this round, maneuvers around in an Evasive Agility attack. Swinub tries to use it's speed to send an Icicle Crash on Venonat, but to no avail.

Well, with the first round done, we see that Engineer is behind in an immediate sense, but those Toxic Spikes may give him the advantage later on. In the meantime, LockDown wants that Venonat down, preferably before it poison's Swinub. Who will gain the upper hand next round? Stay tuned to find out.

Alright Tensai, let's do what you're best at.

Energy Ball - Hidden Power - Energy Ball
IF (Bacon is in a Damaging Evasive Action when you act) THEN (Use Reflect the first time and Recover the second, restarting the queue)
IF (Bacon uses Avalanche) AND (Reflect is NOT up) THEN (Use Reflect and restart the queue)

Round 2: Porkchop vs. Psychic, who will win?

Welcome back folks! Last round we saw Engineer fall a bit behind, but if I know him at all, he'll be back with a vengeance, but what will LockDown do?

Well, Engineer decides to switch out for his Kadabra, which means Swinub's probably in trouble. Kadabra takes in some of the life energies of the arena to fling an Energy Ball at Swinub, doing massive damage. Swinub in the meantime attacks with a Bulldoze attack to slow him down some. Kadabra is still faster though, and retaliates with a Hidden Power Fire, which does about as much damage as the energy ball did. Swinub, confident in his trainer, decides to Bulldoze the ground again, slowing Kadabra down even more. Because of this, Swinub is faster, and summons an icicle and slams it into the foe via an Icicle Crash. That's going to hurt, but Kadabra doesn't flinch thanks to that Inner Focus and retaliates with another Energy Ball.

Well, I'd say Lockdown is looking reasonably well after that round. However, Kadabra's outputting some serious damage, can he hope to cope? Tune in for the next round!

"Although our strategic position has improved significantly, our lack of power may let us down..."

Endure > Icicle Crash > Icicle Crash
If Encore a1, then use Dig instead.
If Reflect a1 or a2, then change remaining actions to Mud Bomb.

On the other hand it could just be a small oversight.

Disable [Icicle Crash] - Recover - Energy Ball

Also, since we apparently didn't specify chills and recovers can we just go with the normal 2/5?

Round 3: Open Pit Barbeque

Welcome back! Last round we saw LockDown having some trouble getting rid of Kadabra. Can he dig himself out? Let's find out!

Swinub starts off the engagement by tightening its focus to Endure any hit. Unfortunately, Kadabra seems to have planned for this, and Disables Swinub's Icicle Crash. While Swinub attempts to use said move in vain, Kadabra takes advantage of the break in the offense to Recover some health, then it sends an Energy Ball Swinub's way paving the way to a clean sweep next round.

Lockdown is almost certain to lose Swinub next round, will he be able to recover from the loss and come back strong? Stay tuned!

Tensai should still be at -1 Spe, since stat boosts can only change by one per round.

A good round. Let's keep this up!

Hidden Power - Energy Ball - Hidden Power
[ONCE] IF (Ice Shard is used in a combination) THEN (chill instead)

"I suppose this is the most productive option at this point."

Ice Shard + Icy Wind > Cooldown(Ice Shard) > Ice Shard
If the combo is deemed unusable, then Ice Shard instead.

combo note: I would think Swinub could send a gust of cold air with some shards mixed in that would hit first and keep Kadabra occupied long enough for the wind to catch up.

Round 4: Desperate Struggle

Welcome back folks! Last round we saw Engineer get a considerable advantage over his current foe. How will Lockdown make the most out of this situation?

Well, by combining Icy Wind and Ice Shard of course! Swinub cleverly sends out small shards through a torrent of cold wind to Kadabra, quite the Shard Volley combo. Strangely, Kadabra doesn't react, instead deciding to Chill to regain some energy. Kadabra, after sufficiently resting, and seeing there's nothing more Swinub can do to it, simply finishes it off with an Energy Ball.

Well, Lockdown is down one Pokemon, but he's managed to weaken two of Engineer's Pokemon. Can he find a way to achieve victory? Stay tuned to find out!

Just as expected. I think we'll be able to come out of this on top.

Stun Spore - Morning Sun - Venoshock

Then, venom, to thy work.

(It was forgotten in the post-round but I set up a layer of Toxic Spikes earlier! That would amount to +6 DMG on Venoshock and 6 DMG from PSN.)

...it appears that I lied about coming out on top. No matter.

Supersonic - Venoshock - Venoshock
IF (Flamethrower is used A1) THEN (Use Disable [Flamethrower] and push actions back)
