A contest battle in ASB! Yarnus vs Rediamond!

[waterwarrior]

Welcome, one and all, to the annual ASB Town Super Contest! We've already had the appeal round, so let's continue with our next portion: Battles!

Open challenge:
2v2 doubles
NFE
ASB Arena
3 day DQ
1 recover, 3 chills
All mons are RNGed one of the following:
Smart: Given ability Prankster, learns all TMs of opponent temporarily
Cool: Flavor is more likely to work, All combinations work
Cute: Gains 1 hp and en each action, immune to poison, burn, sleep, freeze
Tough: +1 rank in Atk, Def, SpD, +10 hp
Beautiful: +1 SpA, contact moves are all Resisted, immune to confusion, taunt, and disable

And accepting the above.

Switch=KO
Items=On
All abilities
One Sub

And now, what will our two semi-finalists bring to this match?

Flavor is more likely to work means that if the user uses a move unconventionally, you as the ref should accept the use as long as it makes any sense at all. For example, Trainer Y tells his Snivy to use Leaf Tornado to block an icy wind. Normally, this would fail, but if the pokemon is cool, it does work somewhat, because it makes a little sense. That said, using tackle to stop surf would never work. This is largely up to your discretion.
Here are my mons!

Yum! The Lickitung

Lickytung(*) Yum! (M)

Aww! The Deerling

Deerling [Aww!] (F)

Abilities:
Chlorophyll: Type: Innate During bright sunlight, this Pokemon’s cells absorb more solar energy, doubling (x2) their speed.

Sap Sipper: Type: Innate This Pokemon lives on a steady diet of plants and has developed defenses to every Grass-type attack. When attacked with a Grass-type move, damage and effects are negated and the Pokemon gains a one (1) stage attack boost. A boost gained this way by an opponent's attack will be maintained at the end of each round. Self-targeted attacks do not maintain boosts.

Serene Grace: (locked)Type: Innate This Pokemon has a blessing which doubles the success chance of its attack’s secondary effects. (eg paralysis from Thunderbolt)

Ground: Ground STAB; Immune to all electrical attacks, can Dig through almost any substance, Evasive Digging reduced from 3 per action Energy Cost to 2 per action, superior senses in darkened cave surroundings.

Abilities:
Compoundeyes: (Innate) This Pokemon’s complex eyes give it a comprehensive view of the field, making its attack 30% (x1.3) more accurate.
Run Away (DW): (Innate) This Pokemon is quick on its feet and will evade any field traps and hazards that would harm it (Spikes, Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes) in an arena. A Pokemon can still absorb Toxic Spikes if it has Run Away and is Poison-typed. Run Away does not allow the Pokemon to switch out of trapping moves or abilities, however it can escape other situational trapping strategies in battle.

[Yarnus of Bethany]

Grass is SE against Nincada, I think.

Yum!
Ice Beam, Muddy Water, Ice Beam
If X-Scissor against Deerling, Protect, but not consecutively, and push actions down

Aww!
Solar Beam, Synthesis, chill
If some action to stop solar beam, chill and push actions down.

 

[waterwarrior]

Bug resists Grass, so it is regularly effective (The moves you're using this round, however...)

 

[Pallas Athena]

Lickitung's sub doesn't specify a target for Protect, meaning that it targets himself.

And Deerling's sub is probably illegal.

But anyways...

Mud Slap+Double Team (4) (Multiply four times and throw enough mud in the air to block out the sun for a round, preventing synthesis)~Cooldown~X-Scissor Deerling.

 

[waterwarrior]

Fuck MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE for forgetting this.

Also, I'm going to assume that, since you did not put a target for Mud-Slap, that it would just block out the sun, giving both of Yarnus' pokes a -1 Acc drop, as well as nerfing Synthesis (just because there's no sun doesn't mean it won't work) but no damage would be done. Sound good?

(12+3+(3-2)1.5)(1.5) = 24.75 DMG

Gaia did... that.

Aww restored HP! (+10 HP)

Muddy Water -> Gaia (7 EN)
RNG roll (to hit, <=64 hit) 7 = hit
RNG roll (for Gaias hit, 1=real Gaia) 2, 4, 3
Gaia's clones dissipated!

Action 3
Yum used Protect! (6 EN)
Yarnus really messed up!

Aww chilled! (+12 EN)

X-Scissor -> Aww (5 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 16 = no crit
(8+3+(3-1)1.5)(1.5) +3.5 = 24.5 DMG

will you let me go? BISMILLAH! NOOOOO! WE WILL NOT LET YOU GO! In fact, we will throw Ice Beams and Solarbeams at you, Gaia, dealing absolutely massive damage! What will you do in response? Why, its a combination that would never work in a thousand years, but somehow does here because that Nincada is just SO. FUCKING. COOL. Kicking air with the creation of the clones? Amazing!

As Gaia has to recover from that exhausting combo, Yum makes a giant wave that comes crashing over Gaia, even through the blindness! It looks like Gaia will take a lot of damage from that... or not! It appears that all 3 of the Gaias hit were clones, and they just poofed away! Meanwhile, Aww tries to regain health from Synthesis, but all that dirt in the sky makes it hard for her, and she barely recovers anything!

Due to a mistype, Yum protects himself from an attack that's not even aimed at him while Aww just sits and regains some energy! Looks like Gaia's going to get off a free X-Scissor for some massive damage!

Will Gaia be able to stall out Yarnus' team, or will the two Normal-types crush the Bug-type under their combined feet?

Gaia fainted!
Yarnus wins!

As we begin what may just be our final round, Aww jumps straight into the air and stays up there while Yum spits out a pillar of fire, incinerating Gaia... 's clone! As the real Gaia lunges at the airborne Aww, he misses with his X-Scissor, only to get kicked in the face!

Apparently worrying about her HP, Aww gathers the power of the sun to revitalize her again, but it still doesn't recover much due to all of the dust in the air! Yum then spits out another beam, but this time, its a pillar of ice, nearly KO'ing Gaia! In response, Gaia picks up his arms again as scissors, and slashes at Aww once again, dealing massive damage as always!

As Aww jumps into the air for a second time, Yum fires off a mighty Flamethrower... and Gaia falls down! He can't take any more! He fainted!

[Yarnus of Bethany]

Great battle, and I will definitely use this arena again!

P.S I wasn't intending to do damage with Jump Kick, but it's not enough to matter.
