Accepting. Btw, could someone tell me what Unown Soup is?

Today's warriors are:

Axmaster68

Duskull

<Duskull> [Spook] (Female)
Nature: Calm (+1 Special Def, -1 Attack)
Type:
Ghost:
Ghost STAB; brief intangibility that nullifies Normal and Fighting-type attacks. Can move through walls for a brief period of time but must remain in motion. Superior senses in low light and inside dark buildings. Have no vision reduction in hazes.
Abilities:
Levitate(Trait):
This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading the Ground moves Bulldoze, Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude. Earth Power will have three (3) less Base Attack Power. Dig and Dive can strike a Levitating Pokemon if their user is over Size Class 4, has Levitate, is 3.5m or larger, or is a Flying-type. 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.

[Pippy]

Alright Anthony, let's get this show on the road!

Lead by taking an S out of the soup and using Shadow Force! After that, finish with Dragon Rush.

If Duskull uses an ice attack on actions 3, do an evasive Agility.

 

[Axmaster68]

Uhh.... Pippy... there's nothing for A2 there... Just so you know, I believe that this:
Shadow Force: The Pokemon glows with a menacing aura and uses the power of shadows to vanish from the physical world, evading all attacks. When it returns he Pokemon reappears close to its opponent and rams into the opponent a massive shadowy aura. The frightening energy bypasses Protect and Detect.

Attack Power: 12 | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 10 | Attack Type: Physical | Effect Chance: -- | Typing: Ghost | Priority: Evasive Action: 1, Hit: -1. | CT: Set
Directly from the Data Audit Thread means you need to post an action for A2. I'll order my own actions after that.

 

[Pippy]

I'll ask about that. I believe it's a 2 turn attack, but I'll double check.

 

[Pippy]

Turns out you're right. Here are my new actions:
Dragon Rush, Shadow Force (use Unown), Dragon Rush. If he uses an Ice move, use an Evasive Agility to dodge it and move all actions up one. (only do so once)

 

[Axmaster68]

Okay, thanks.

Alrighty Spook, let's get this started off right. Start by, since you are slower, disabling Dragon Rush, then use Nasty Plot, and finish with a Shadow Ball.

Summary: Disable(Dragon Rush)--->Nasty Plot--->Shadow Ball.

Round 1: Terror Soup

Gooooooooooooood evening, ladies and gentlemen! Tonight's battle takes place in a gigantic bowl of Unown soup and pits Axmaster68 and his Duskull Spook, against Pippy and Anthony the Dratini!

Since Anthony is by far the faster pokemon in this battle, he leads off the first round with a Dragon Rush...but just barely misses, crashing into one of the Unown behind Spook! Taking advantage of this turn of events, Spook's eye gives off a malevolent glow and Disables the Dratini's attack!

Looks like the Unown that Tony smacked with Dragon Rush was the kind shaped like an S. Seizing it with his tail, he invokes...vanishing into thin air! What kind of attack starts with an S that does-...oh dear...Looks like Ax's Duskull is getting the hint, so she comes up with a Nasty Plot in order to counter it...and gets interrupted with Tony's return - and the sheer malevolent energy of his Shadow Force!

Anthony appears to be wracking his brain trying to remember what he was going to do next, but gives up and starts flailing all over Spook! Although his Struggling does some damage, it isn't much. Meanwhile, his Duskull nemesis has had quite enough of his shenanigans, and blows him away with a Shadow Ball!

Tony may be leading in health, but Spook has the advantages of a power boost and that embargo on Dragon Rush. Who will come out on top? Stay tuned!

Ax, you're up!
​

 

[Axmaster68]

Okay Spook, it's time for a real attack. Begin with an Ice Beam, then use Shadow Ball, and finish with Ice Beam.

Summary: Ice Beam--->Shadow Ball--->Ice Beam
IF Dratini uses Evasive Agility OR Protect, replace that action with Nasty Plot and move actions up.

 

[Pippy]

No Protect huh? Fine then, I'll pull a D out of the soup an use Detect! *insert troll face* After that, use Dragon Tail to reset his stats and remove Disable. Finish with Dragon Rush.

 

[The Wanderer]

Uh, Pippy, I'm pretty sure dragon tail absolves the status effects of its target, not its user.

 

[Pippy]

Oops, sorry guys, this completely slipped my mind.

Alright, let's do this: Detect, Dragon Tail, Waterfall

Round 2: Danger Soup

Welcome back, folks! Pippy's Dratini starts off the round by seizing a D unown to Detect any of Spook's incoming attacks...and sure enough, dodges her Ice Beam! However, this leaves him open to the Duskull's follow-up - an inky little Shadow Ball that submerges Tony into the broth...and he's not surfacing!

Spook lazily floats over, first worried she may have done something horrible to Tony...then dismissing it as him sulking...then horrified when she realizes he was pulling a surprise attack, his Dragon Tail sending her flying all the way to the edge of the bowl! Anthony dives back into the broth, seeking Spook like some kind of torpedo before lunging at her with the strength to climb Waterfalls...but Ax's little ghost had a surprise attack of her own, blasting Tony in the face with another Ice Beam! It didn't stop his attack, but it sure did hurt!

Pippy leads in health, but Ax's "Ax"-ess to Ice Beam could turn the fight in his favor. This could easily go either way!

Unowns used: D, S​

You're up, Pippy!
​

 

[Pippy]

Let's finish him! Pull an O out of soup and unleash your (Out)RAGE!!! (that will take all 3 actions)

 

[Axmaster68]

Now Spook, it's time to make our move, and unleash a super Draco Meteor, taking a D from the soup at the same time! After that, relax for A2, and finish with Ice Beam.

Summary: Draco Meteor+Draco Meteor(take D from soup)--->Cooldown--->Ice Beam
IF the combo is illegal, use Ice Beam A1 and Draco Meteor, taking a D from the soup, A2.

 

[Pippy]

I believe each letter can only be used once. (D has been used already)

 

[The Wanderer]

Yup, Pippy's right there.

 

[Axmaster68]

Whoops... sorry about that. I'll reorder.

Ice Burn+Ice Burn Combo(take I from soup)--->Cooldown--->Ice Beam
IF the combo cannot be used, replace A1 with Will-O-Wisp and A2 Ice Burn, taking the I from the soup.

 

[The Wanderer]

Well, I'm gonna have to say that using one Unown for a double attack won't go over, so that means...hey, wait a minute, you don't even have Will-o-Wisp!

 

[Axmaster68]

*facepalm*

Sorry about that. I'm stupid. Reordering now.

Ice Burn(Take I from soup)--->Blizzard(take B from soup)--->Ice Beam
IF Outrage is used A2, use Disable(Outrage), and replace Ice Beam A3 with Blizzard, taking the B from the soup.

 

[Pippy]

You can only use one letter per turn.

 

[Axmaster68]

Wow. There's a lot I didn't know about this arena. Sorry about this, I offically suck.

Anyways, then:

Ice Burn(take I)--->Ice Beam--->Ice Beam
If Outrage is used A2, then use Disable(Outrage) that action.

Round 3: Soup soup

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen! Spook starts the round by grabbing an I Unown and starts chilling the air around her...looks like she's pulling a charge attack of her own. Meanwhile, Tony grabs an O Unown which drives him batshit insane and starts smacking Spook around with an Outrage! Although the Duskull is badly wounded from the attack, she unleashes all that stored energy, not only Burning her Dratini nemesis with all that Ice, but also throwing him out of Outrage and into confusion!

Without any further commands, Tony stumbles around and starts Struggling upon Spook, doing a negligible amount of damage, while the little ghost shoots an Ice Beam at him, putting Pippy's pokemon within an inch of his life!

...and then Anthony smacks himself in the face with his own tail, falling over. Axmaster wins!
