[Psyquic] Leader Gerard vs Dogfish44

[Texas Cloverleaf]

"...Another gym leader has come to my little palace, and this time is the one and only god of thunder coming to test the powers that reside inside my home... I apologize beforehand of the little than stellar manners that some of my pokemon might show, they have been feeling a little lonely lately and will surely appreciate the exercise, but that's something we're both hoping, to make sure everyone ends up exhausted at the mercy of that last breath, at least I know I am... I wish you luck as once you enter my domain there's only one way to get out..."

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We welcome you once again to the lair of the eccentric Psyquic Gym Leader Gerard who receives his latest challenger in Dogfish44, both participants raring to go. For Gerard this battle marks his first challenge in quite a while, most battlers having been scared off by his 4-0 record, as well as his first recognized truly challenging opponent. Dogfish meanwhile continues his quest to conquer all of the Gyms of ASB in as timely a fashion as possible, though falling behind Its A Random in the overall badge lead. Noted for his excellent play in all formats and diverse range of Pokemon, Dogfish44 is sure to be a devilish opponent for the Gym Leader. Each player has informed the referee of their team selections, let's see the lineups!

Leader Gerard

Wilde

Wilde (Gallade) {}

Hecate

Hecate (Aurumoth) {}

Nature: Quiet (+1 SpA, -15% Speed, -10% Evasion)
Type: Bug / Psychic

• Bug: Bug STAB; more mobility in dense brush or forest conditions. Gains one extra attack on multi-hit moves, with a cap of five (5).
  
• Psychic: Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.

Abilities:

• Weak Armor: (Toggle)

The Pokemon can loosen its worn defensive armor so that it will break off when an opponent uses a contact attack, reducing the Pokemon's Defense and increasing their Speed by one (1) stage for each hit.
​

• No Guard: (Passive)

This Pokemon has an immense confidence from perfecting each of its attacks, giving them all perfect accuracy. As a result, it feels it can weather every strike, and will not dodge an attack even if ordered to. Only when an OHKO move is issued by the opponent does sense return, and the Pokemon acts normally. Additionally, even with their extra skill, the power and exhaustion involved in using OHKO moves prevents them from being benefited by No Guard; they will have their normal accuracy.
​

• Illusion: (Passive)

Whenever you send this Pokemon out, it can feign the appearance of another member on your squad. If this Pokemon is damaged by a direct attack, the Illusion will cease at the end of the round. Direct damage is any attack that does damage to the Pokemon's HP. Attacks that are evaded, blocked via Protect, or damage a Substitute are not considered direct damage. It will retain the typing and moveset of the Pokemon with Illusion. [Usage Note: PM the ref if you are sending out a Pokemon with Illusion with the info on said Pokemon and one of your squad members in a Switch=KO battle. You must use that squad member later in the battle though.]​

Type: Ice/Psychic

• Ice: Ice STAB; Immune to freezing and Sheer Cold, no vision loss or damage in Hail or snowstorm conditions, perfectly accurate and 30% Protect breaking Blizzard in Hail. Superior senses and mobility in frozen caves and other frigid arenas.
  
• Psychic: Psychic STAB; Less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic attacks regardless of weight difference.

Abilities:

• Oblivious: (Passive)

This Pokemon is incapable of being affected by Attract, Charm, Cute Charm or Captivate.
​

• Forewarn: (Passive)

This Pokemon is more adept than usual at sensing and reacting to the opponent's attacks. As a result, it gets a bonus move substitution that must have a condition in the format "If Pokemon X uses move Y", with no further qualifiers or additional clauses allowed. This bonus substitution may go anywhere in the list of substitutions the pokemon makes, but it must be indicated with "Bonus" or "Bonus Sub" or something similar in front of the bonus substitution.
​

• Dry Skin: (Passive)

This Pokemon has spongy, yet sensitive skin, causing it to burn in bright sunlight for damage but absorb water and heal damaged tissues in rain. This effect results in dealing 2 damage/action to this Pokemon in sunlight and recovering 2 HP/action in rain. In addition, the dry skin is very vulnerable to flames and the Base Attack Power of incoming Fire attacks is increased by 2. The Pokemon absorbs the damage of water attacks and recovers 25% of HP the damage that would have been inflicted.

Dogfish44 has elected for a fairly eclectic team selection for him, only one of his trademark Electric types making an appearance. Hydreigon and Chandelure are no strangers to Gerard, being some of the strongest Pokemon in ASB, but Cofagrigus is a rare choice, seldom seen by anyone with its capabilities largely unknown. Keep an eye on Cizin the Cofagrigus to be the dark horse this match.

And with that the rules are set, the teams are in and the piper is playing so let's get down to business! We start first with the ceremonial coin toss arbitrated by myself and the battle shall begin! Heads will represent the Gym Leader, Tails the challenger!

Heads it is! The Gym Leader will thus lead this match off by sending out his Pokemon followed by Dogfish44 to send out and order. Gerard will then counter order before I ref, reversing the turn order thereafter.

Best of luck to us all!

I have to say I'm gonna be glad when my beautiful Katherine gets her Fairy Typing, she's incredibly useful regardless and this match will prove such a fact, Now Katherine, start by Imprisoning our foes, those waves and shadow balls are strong but sadly they won't be enjoying them much, afterwards help Gallade, he's gonna be a little busy trying to make sure those two stay grounded, those boosted Quakes are will be pretty good against our two friends, glad I brought you Wilde but it's nice to see those mind games at work so we should be able to end up in a good position as we enter next round, just keep an eye on that cofag, it's look doesn't give me a good vibe

Katherine: Imprison [Shadow Ball/Will-o-Wisp/Endure] ~ Helping Hand (Gallade) ~ [Go After Chandelure] Encore (Chandelure)

Welcome one and all to tonight's Showdown at the Moon Cave, residency of the eccentric Psychic Type Gym Leader Gerard! Known for his devastatingly powerful Pokemon with vast movepools this Gym Leader is as of yet undefeated and only the strongest challengers conceive of victory from a battle. Our challenger is no stranger to the Gym scene owning the greatest number of victories in defending his Electric badge, its Dogfish44! Dogfish is perhaps underrated outside of his team of Electric Pokemon but he boasts a solid lineup tonight sure to give Gerard pause.

On the Gym Leader's side look for Wilde the Gallade to make a statement early and often for Gerard. His signature Pokemon and one of the best in ASB, Wilde never fails to find some way of leaving a significant impact on its opponent. For the challenger pay special attention to Teresa the Hydreigon, one of Dogfish's earliest Pokemon and one holding a significant advantage in this arena by virtue of its typing, speed and sheer power. With the formailities out of the way, let's get to the match!

Gerard leads off by debuting with a brother and sister tandem in Gardevoir and Gallade, though the limited lighting leaves uncertainty as to their true forms. In response Dogfish issues forth his power pairing of Cofagrigus and Chandelure. Both trainers issue orders and the Pokemon spring into action, with Chandelure immediately releasing a scorching wave of heat, singing both of the Psychic types. Unfazed, Gardevoir concentrates its mental energy and seals off several of the opponents moves, an interesting ploy to be sure! Continuing the theme for the Gym Leader, Gallade releases its own power an vastly increases the Gravity present in the arena! Cofagrigus then moves to attack but stops dead, unable to summon the energy to use its attack! Its Shadow Ball was sealed by Gardevoir!

Gardevoir continues to demonstrate why Gerard thinks so highly of it by lending its power to Gallade, giving it a helping hand for its upcoming attack! Chandelure attempts to intervene but, like its partner, finds itself incapable of summoning the Shadowy energy! This proves costly as Gallade unleashes a devastating Earthquake that rips through the cavern, shaking the foundations to the core and tearing debris off of the walls everywhere, leaving both opponents in a weakened state. Gardevoir sits back, contented with her work and unharmed through her telepathic link to Gallade. Cofagrigus salvages some damage from the round by calling an Ominous Wind through the cavern that spooks Gallade out of its revelry.

Chandelure, thoroughly pissed by the results of the previous round, releases a pulse of Dark matter bolstered by the stone it holds. Unfortunately, this has the side effect of boosting Gallade's attack on contact and, even worse, Gardevoir takes advantage of the moment to give Chandelure a round of applause, locking it into the attack for another two actions! Gallade continues with his earth shakng ways, releasing a less powerful but still deadly quake, while Cofagrigus futilely tries, once again, to summon a ball of Shadow energy.

The arena comes to a standstill as each Pokemon waits for further instruction, but the Gym Leader has surely demonstrated his reputation with a clear advantage after the first round of orders.

Impressive as usual Katherine, I gotta say that for your first time in here your performance was flawless, it's still to early to call this but we are in a great position without a doubt and so we must try to stay on top, and that means to make sure cofag can't intervene, so Wilde, pull your inner Regina George and start bullying on the little tiny mummy, meanwhile Katherine shall do the same tormenting Éget about the size of it's flames, after that's taken care of we're gonna continue the onslaught against both opponents, this is a gym leader we have against us, don't hesitate as he wouldn't if we were his guests, but remember, the most outrageous tricks are those who we don't even notice, so be careful.​

Focus Sash..&...Expert Belt.
​

Katherine: [Go before Chandelure] Torment (Chandelure) ~ Shadow Ball (Chandelure) ~ [Go before Chandelure] Shadow Ball (Chandelure)
* If Chandelure uses a Protective or Evasive move when you target him then redirect the attack to Cofagrigus
* If Chandelure has fainted then use Wish (once) and redirect all remaining attacks to Cofagrigus

Gallade: Taunt (Cofagrigus) ~ Earthquake ~ Earthquake
* If Cofagrigus uses Magic Coat when you target him with Taunt then use Rock Slide the first time and Earthquake all the remaining ones and push actions
* If Cofagrigus uses a Protective or Evasive Move when you target him with Taunt then use Stone Edge (Chandelure) and push actions
* If Chandelure has fainted then use Wish (once) and push actions​

 

[Dogfish44]

I hold that this gym cannot be beat 50% of the time =_=

Anyway,

" Imprisoning (Shadow Ball | WoW | Encore) for 3a"

should be " Imprisoning (Shadow Ball | WoW | Endure) for 3a". Also, does Encore lock a target?

Dogfish44
You've got your answers a while ago, let's see some orders here

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Come on Dogfish44 its been a month. Let's see some action. Prove you're worthy of your 90% gym defense rate.

 

[Dogfish44]

Forfeit

I want to get to other gyms I already had planned, plus I fucked this one up too much to be recoverable from. I'll be back with a better team though. Sorry for the delay on this, IRL takes it's toll.

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Challenger Dogfish44 has forfeited.

And because it was only one round no one gets any prizes :/

This will be recorded as a defense for the Gym Leader however.
