Abilities:

• Dry Skin: (Innate)

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 two (2) damage/action to this Pokemon in sunlight and recovering two (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 two (2). The Pokemon absorbs the damage of water attacks and recovers 25% of HP the damage that would have been inflicted.​

• Illuminate: (Can be Enabled)

This Pokemon emits a continuous light that brightens the environment and makes it easier for all Pokemon to see. While this ability is active, any darkened or twilight state in the battle is negated and all moves used by any Pokemon (friend or foe, or itself) have their accuracy increased by 10% (flat). Boosts from multiple Illuminates do not stack.​

Kitaniji @ Lucky Egg

 

[Gerard]

Well, nothing too crazy as to what my team is going to be, Lamarche you're the one I worry about the most, but we're bulky enough that those ground attacks shouldn't be such a problem, Kurt will be handling an Amulet Coin while Mollux an Experience Share will have, now unto bussiness, Illuminate appears to be useful in here, altough not too much either, it's not gonna make destoying our enemies any more easier for us.

Lamarche: [Enable Illuminate] Eruption ~ Heat Wave ~ Heat Wave
* If Heat Wave is disabled (by any means) then replace all further instances of it with Fire Blast (Land Turtle)
* If You're targeted by an Earthquake Combo A1 then use Counter (Sandile) but keep actions
* If Kitaniji Faints then replace all remaining actions with Fire Blast (Land Turtle)

​

Kurt: Scald (Kitaniji) ~ Surf ~ Scald (Kitaniji)
* If Earthquake is used & You're Not Taunted then replace your next Action with Disable [Earthquake] (Kitaniji) and push actions
* If Kitaniji is in the middle of a Damaging Evasive Move then use Fire Blast (Land Turtle) and push actions
* If Kitaniji Faints then replace all remaining actions with Fire Blast (Land Turtle)

 

[Arcanite]

Kitaniji: Crunch+Crunch Combo > Crunch
Land Turtle: Giga Drain > Mega Drain > Giga Drain

All @ Slowbro
If Slowbro faints, Kitaniji use Rock Slide, Land Turtle use Earth Power on Mollux

(8+3+(4-2)1.5)(1.5) = 21 DMG

Kitaniji must cool down!

Mega Drain -> Kurt (8 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 9043 = no crit
(6+3+(2-3)1.5)(1.5) = 11.25 DMG = 5.625 recovered

Surf -> Both (6 EN)
Land Turtle: RNG roll (to crit) 7314 = no crit
(7.5+3+(4-3)1.5) = 12 DMG
Kitaniji: RNG roll (to crit) 6883 = no crit

RNG roll (to crit) 4314 = no crit
RNG roll (to burn) 3991 = no burn
(12+(4-3)1.5)(1.5) = 20.25 DMG

And so, using the magic of spread moves, the FE's with a large amount of investment promptly beat the ever-loving shit out of the weak NFE's.

Don't worry, next round will be on time. ;)

Fingers crossed I can get a KO.....
(Would have been a 1 round KO if it wasn't for the healing)
Giga Drain Combo > Cooldown > Giga Drain

 

[Gerard]

Well, this was a lot less informative than I expected, though it does serve a little as Illuminate being active doesn't seems like it will be of such an impact on Mollux considering more likely than not you'll be using 100 Acc Ground Attacks against him, I still need to see how much it works against something with more expanded movepools and obviously FE, although by now Illuminate doesn't sucks (keep in mind, it's not great either, only helping against sandile)

Lamarche: Eruption ~ Eruption ~ Eruption

​

Kurt: Slack Off ~ Chill ~ Slack Off

 

[waterwarrior]

Well, if Eruption does 26 DMG to Land Turtle when there's a BAP reduction, I have a feeling it might be able to deal 17 at full power.

Fuck calcs and shit, I'm lazy.

Prize time!

Gerard gets 2 CC
Kurt the Slowbro gets 3 MC
Lamarche the Mollux gets 4 MC and 2 KOC

Arcanite gets 1 CC
Land Turtle the Grotle gets 1 EC, 2 MC, 1 DC, and 1 extra EC/DC
Kitaniji the Sandile gets 1 EC, 2 MC, 1 DC, and 1 extra EC/DC

I get 4 UC for almost no work. Yay!
