25 Chills | 10 Recovers PER PLAYER
Welcome tonight ladies and gentlemen to the latest edition of 'Bash the Bugs' featuring our resident Bug type Gym Leader, Rediamond, defending his hive against world renowned opponent, Its_A_Random (just kidding, he's from Australia, he likes sheep)! The Gym Leader is no stranger to challenges, entertaining one of the greatest totals of challengers to his Gym badge. Perceived by some as a weaker leader due to his chosen typings shortcomings, Rediamond is nevertheless a talented battler who has defended his badge successfully against worthy opponents in the past, yours truly included. This match promises to be chock-full of action and tricky tactics.
Arena: Relic Castle
Hidden away for centuries, a monster resides at the bottom of the ancient castle. And he is not happy to be disturbed.
Sand pours down from the higher levels in the gigantic throne room of the Relic Castle in Unova. But, that is not nearly so impressive as the set of columns and stone stairs leading up to the ancient throne, or the scope of the chamber. And those fail to capture the potential danger of the angry Volcarona hovering above you.
The arena revolves around both the natural layout of the room, and Volcarona intimidating non-bugs and assisting bug-types in his home.
-No natural water
-Hail, Rain Dance, and Sunny Day may not naturally be used
-Sandstorm costs three less energy to summon
-Trapping moves cost two less energy and last for an additional round
-Any rock move that requires natural rocks used by a non-bug type will result in Volcarona (neutral nature) attacking the user with Fire Spin. This shall be interpreted as Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Stone Edge, and Stealth Rock.
-Swarm is automatically active for all Pokemon who have it
-Fly and Bounce will only evade contact moves during their semi-invulnerable phase

We find ourselves tonight in the Relic Castle. No longer assuming the guise of a world weary scientist lecturing his viewers, Rediamond became something of a recluse after meeting his trusty Volcarona and took up abode among its brethren in their hive, nestled deep with the Relic Castle. Buried underground, the cramped nature of the arena is sure to impact the challengers less straightforward tactics. The Volcarona swarm is ever present as well, and does not take kindly to those attempting to bring their home down by using the natural rocks in the area. The challengers have finalized their rosters for this standard 5v5 Singles match and I have their data at hand, let us see the teams!
Leader Rediamond
AURUMOTH, DESTROY OF WORLDS (M)
Nature: Mild (+SpA, -Def)
Type: Psychic/Bug: 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. Bug STAB; more mobility in dense brush or forest conditions. Gains one extra attack on multi-hit moves, with a cap of five (5).
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 (DW): (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:
Bug/Steel: Bug STAB; More mobility in dense brush or forest conditions. Gain an extra guaranteed attack on multi-hit moves. Steel STAB; immune to Sandstorm, highly insusceptible to toxic attacks, but can be corroded specifically by Acid and Acid Spray, can be magnetized. Superior senses in high-metal environments like construction sites or factories; Bug STAB; more mobility in dense brush or forest conditions.

EC: 6/6
MC: 0
DC: 5/5
Abilities:
Swarm: (Innate) When this Pokemon’s HP is lower than 33% (flat), the Base Attack Power of any Bug-typed attack is increased by 2. (eg Silver Wind goes from 6 to 8, X-Scissor from 8 to 10)
Technician: (Innate) This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally have 6 or less Base Attack Power to have their Base Attack Power multiplied by 1.5. (e.g. Aerial Ace goes from 6 to 9, Mach Punch goes from 4 to 6, etc.) The Energy Cost for a one-hit or two-hit attack is increased by one (1). Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) Base Attack Power, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2).
Light Metal: (Trait) The Pokemon's body is made of a lightweight but extremely strong alloy. It weighs half as much as other members of the species, but is equally sturdy. The Pokemon executes weak attacks much more effectively, adding +1 priority to all their attacks with 6 or less Base Attack Power (after other ability adjustments). Priority is applied to the summed Base Attack Power of a multi-hit move (e.g. Double Kick has priority at 6 BAP, Skill Link Bullet Seed doesn't at 15 BAP.)

[DreamWorld]
Levitate: (Trait) This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading the Ground moves Bulldoze, Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude.

Otherwise Dig and Dive will miss. Ground moves can still hit. Levitate Pokemon will retain the Levitate trait when they use Skill Swap on an enemy, and will steal the opponent's ability (the user can specify if they want a foe or ally to gain Levitate from a Skill Swap.) If a Pokemon with Levitate uses Role Play, they will copy the opponent's abilities and retain Levitate.

Both combatants boast deadly lineups, full of power. Keep close watch on the Gym Leader's Aurumoth. With its excessive power, glut of coverage and ability to hit every member of the challengers team heavily, not to mention its illusory capabilities it is sure to leave an impact on this match. For Its_A_Random, Grandstone the Regirock is the dark horse this match. Legendaries are rarely seen in ASB competition and this is a match that seems to fit its specifications ideally. It has an opportunity here to demonstrate its true abilities.
The formalities are finished, the stone is set and the band is playing, let us begin the match! Turn order will be determined by impartial coin flip. Heads will represent the gym leader, tails the challenger.
Tail is the call! The Challenger will tip his hand first. Allez!
