[Engineer Pikachu]

Only referees and LouisCyphre should be posting in this thread.

LouisCyphre will be using Horsea with Swift Swim.

Horsea

Horsea (Male)
Nature: Lonely (Atk +1, Def -1)
Type: Water
Water Type - Water STAB; Can breathe and have excellent mobility when underwater, are less capable on land unless they are entirely amphibious.


Abilities:
Swift Swim - (Innate) The Pokemon with this ability moves extremely fast in slick, rainy conditions, doubling (x2) its speed in the rain.
Sniper - (Innate) This Pokemon has deadly accuracy and strikes sensitive points, increasing its critical hit bonus from +3 to +5 on single attacks, +2 to +3 on two-hit attacks, and +1 to +2 on multi-hit attacks.
(DW) Damp - (Dormant) - (Innate) This Pokemon releases a damp mist upon entry into battle that short circuits the opponent’s ability to use Selfdestruct or Explosion.

Stats:

HP: 90
Atk: Rank 3 (+)
Def: Rank 2 (-)
SpA: Rank 3
SpD: Rank 1
Spe: 60

EC: 0 / 9
MC: 0
DC: 0 / 5

Attacks:

Level-Up Moves - Bubble(*), Smokescreen(*), Leer(*), Water Gun(*), Focus Energy(*), BubbleBeam(*), Agility(*)
Egg Moves - Outrage(*), Signal Beam(*), Disable(*)
BW TM Moves - Rain Dance(*), Scald(*), Substitute(*)

This Horsea has something to prove to the world, and he's going to prove it all on his own. He prefers to rely on power whenever he can, but he carries an array of hindering and defensive moves in case he needs the protection - again, relying on only himself for this sort of support.

LouisCyphre, you may choose your first type. Your options are:

Good luck!

 

[LouisCyphre]

We'll start with Dragon; Horsea needs as many advantages as he can get.

"Hold back a bit; remember to set up your defenses first."

Substitute (20 HP) | Scald | Scald
If Gible uses Earthquake, Disable it at first opportunity.

(Did you forget the RNG results for Pokémon and Ability?)

 

[Engineer Pikachu]

I don't report RNG results for them, since it's fairly obvious (and irrelevant) as to what the number is. I did forget to mention that its ability is Sand Veil, though.

"Pfft, you think we haven't seen this tactic before?"

"Train your Pokemon some more. I'll be here if you'd like to rechallenge."

Challenge complete.

[Fire Blast]

Lou will be using Aron with Rock Head:

Aron

Aron (Male)
Nature: Careful (SpD: +1, SpA: -1)
Type: Steel / Rock
Steel Type - Steel STAB; Immune to Sandstorm, highly insusceptible to toxic attacks, but can be corroded specifically by Acid and Acid Spray, can be magnetized. Superior senses in high-metal environments like construction sites or factories.
Rock Type - Rock STAB; Take 2 less damage from all special attacks during Sandstorm. Able to use Sand Tomb without losing focus.

Abilities:
Sturdy - (Innate) This Pokemon’s body is solidly constructed, reducing the Base Attack Power from an opponents incoming attacks by one (1). The effect is amplified on OHKO Moves, which are reduced by ten (10) Base Attack Power.
Rock Head - (Innate) This Pokemon’s hard body prevents it from taking recoil damage from moves such as Double-Edge, Flare Blitz, and Head Smash.
(DW) Heavy Metal - (Dormant) - (Innate) The Pokemon's body structure is immensely dense, doubling its weight. Additionally the Base Attack Power of full contact attacks [Avalanche, Brave Bird, Body Slam, Bounce, Double-Edge, Dragon Rush, Extremespeed, Flare Blitz, Giga Impact, Headbutt, Head Charge, Head Smash, Heat Crash, Heavy Slam, Hi Jump Kick, Ice Ball, Iron Head, Jump Kick, Outrage, Petal Dance, Quick Attack, Revenge, Rollout, Slam, Spark, Steamroller, Submission, Superpower, Tackle, Take Down, Thrash, V-create, Volt Tackle, Waterfall, Wood Hammer, and Zen Headbutt is increased by two (2).] Seismic Toss, Vital Throw, and Circle Throw will fail against this Pokemon unless the user is a Fighting-type.*

Stats:

HP: 90
Atk: Rank 3
Def: Rank 4
SpA: Rank 1 (-)
SpD: Rank 3 (+)
Spe: 30

EC: 0 / 9
MC: 0
DC: 0 / 5

Attacks:

Level-Up Moves - Tackle, Harden, Mud-Slap, Headbutt, Metal Claw, Iron Defense, Roar, Take Down
Egg Moves - Head Smash, Iron Head, Superpower
BW TM Moves - Hone Claws, Earthquake, Double Team

A runt of his litter; Aron is wary and slow to comfort in any new situation. It always keeps an eye on its surroundings, and takes notice of anything that could be a threat. In battle, Aron prefers a direct approach; circling his opponent for openings in which to strike with his immensly powerful attacks.

Lou, you may choose your first type. Your options are:

 

[LouisCyphre]

"Aron should have very little trouble with the Bug type."

 

[Fire Blast]

Interviewer Miranda would like to battle!
"Do you like bug type pokemon?!"

RNG Roll: 2/5
Pokemon: Caterpie

Hide

Caterpie (F)

Nature: Adamant

Type:

Bug: Bug STAB; More mobility in dense brush or forest conditions. Gain an extra guaranteed attack on multi-hit moves.

Stats:

HP: 90
Atk: Rank 3 (+)
Def: Rank 2
SpA: Rank 0 (-)
SpD: Rank 1
Spe: 45

Abilities:

Shield Dust: (Innate) This Pokemon has dust covering the outside of its body that prevents opponents secondary effects from taking place (eg burn from Flamethrower). It does not block direct status moves (such as Thunder Wave.)
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.

Attacks:

Tackle
String Shot
Bug Bite

Snore

RNG Roll: 1/2
Ability: Shield Dust
"Do you like Shield Dust?!"
