"First learn defence, then learn punch."
Payback > Payback > Payback
IF Disable (Payback) is used THEN replace corresponding action with Encore and all subsequent Paybacks with Ice Punch
Now from all I can tell Payback gets the base power boost simply for moving second, whereas I always thought it was like Avalanche/Revenge and needed damage done. Correct me if I've done this wrong and my initial assumption was right.

(Yeah, Payback should have 10 BAP in these cases due to always moving last.)
"Your hax shall not pass!"
EDIT: WOAH HOLD ON I MISSED SOMETHING
Psyshock isn't affected from Light Screen due to hitting on the Defense. IDK how much of a deal this makes, so I'll reorder after the stuff changes.
And that was last last round... darn.
edit: nvm lol. Still Pain Split - Psyshock x2 then
