Round 1!

Hello folks and welcome the grand final of this insanely long factory tourney! Our contestants are Its_A_Random and Elevator Music, both of which really don't need introductions.

So let's begin!

Elevator Music starts this by sending out Drapion with a Tamato Berry, a berry that prevents speed lowering. Not the most useful item ever, but beggars can't be chosers.

Its_A_Random counters with Skarmory with my Mental Herb.

It seems that IAR intends to use the same tactic with Skarmory once more: Taunt and Stall. And it does manage to taunt drapion, just after the scorpion mon covered the field with a layer of toxic spikes. Next, Drapion attacked with Rock Slide, netting a crucial flinch and finally used a weak Knock Off to remove the mental herb, as Skarmory did the same with Tamato Berry. Although let's face it, only Skarmory lost an actually decent item.

The first round was even, with Elevator Music having the numeric advantage. Still, Drapion can't hurt skarmory (and vice versa, but who is taunted?), so we may see a different mon on the next round haha.

Or not

Saw that one coming? yeah me too.

Elevator Music pulls in an athenodoros and switches in Starmie to bait an electric type and keeps starmie in, using Reflect Type to soften the blow. Which works somewhat thanks to toxic spikes.

Somewhat.

Ummm that is not how Electric STAB works in relation to paralysis. "50% reduction in paralysis chance from other electrical attacks" refers to a halved paralysis chance, not a 50% chance of ignoring the effect if the paralysis roll was low enough. By those rolls a 1/10 from Discharge for para chance should have resulted in paralysis succeeding with a 2 being necessary for a roll. I might be getting this wrong but a 1/10 roll is "below" the 15% chance of Discharge paralysing right?
 
I know that is the effect, but the way I roll (and I have done that for quite some time) doesn't change probabilities the slightest. I prefer to do it in 2 rolls because that way I can keep the X/10 roll for effects, which is pre-configured on my RNG. Oddly it saves me time somewhat.

This is like saying I should roll out of 16000 or 10000 or that paralysis should happen on the far end of the rolling. The probabilities stay the same, so it is simply a matter of personal preferance of how I prefer to do my rolls.
 
why the hell did I put Water Stone ._.?

Round 3!

Both Pokemon continue to trade blows, powered by the respective Type-Specific items. In a way, the combination of typing + respective item probably make this particular pair the MVPs of their teams. In theory, at least.

Even with Reflect Type, Ampharos's Electric Attacks still pack a nice punch, although not-stabed-anymore Surf and Hydro Pump still beat it somewhat.

The damage race is tied for the most part...which usually means that someone will pull out a combo! And this time Ampharos is the one to do so. Frustrated at how starmie is resisting his its thunderbolts, Ampharos attacked with a massive Hyper Beam + Hyper Beam combination, trading momentum for the KO.

Starmie fainted!

And with that, Its_A_Random gets the advantage in this match, thanks to the typing of the teams. But still, cooldown is annoying and so it sluggish status and both together while ordering first are a real drag. So it is too soon to state a clear lead here.

let's keep watching, k?

This was a quick round haha.

Elevator Music set up the precious Stealth Rock and then eliminated Ampharos, which evened the score 2-2!

Elevator Music has the field set up, but is it enough? Typing-wise, Its_A_Random has a small advantage, being able to pair mons properly in the next round, so it is still too soon to predict who will win.

Round 5!

Its_A_Random sends out Mr. Mime to the fray, knowing full well that a switch would come. And indeed it came.

And yet Mr. Mime remains on the field. It seems that Its_A_Random has a plan...

Mr. Mime begins the round by using Fake Out to Flinch Drapion and get precious time, keep the enigma berry.

After that, Drapion managed to get in a powerful Crunch and while Enigma Berry softened the blow somewhat, that, poison and stealth rock add up to considerable damage. Mr. Mime counters with Icy Wind, which slows drapion down.

Finally, Mr. Mime erects a barrier to increase its defense and block Drapion's final assault.

While Mr. Mime did better than expected, hazards are proving to be a significant threat in this battle. The next rounds will probably be decisive in this battle...
