Abilities:
Static: (Passive) This Pokemon’s body is surrounded by an electric field that has a 30% chance of paralyzing opponents that use contact moves on this Pokemon.
Lightningrod (DW): (Passive) These Pokemon naturally attract electricity to themselves and away from partners in double battles. When struck with an Electric attack, they transfer the energy into their body, using it to increase their Special Attack by one (1) stage. 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. If a Pokemon has a type immunity to Electric attacks, Lightningrod will not activate.

No. Solarbeam combination fires at (-1 + -1) - 2 = -4 Priority. Check the handbook.

Box · Dec 4, 2013

Read it again. General rule is (Priority + Priority) minus 2.

Box · Dec 4, 2013

NDA said:
If the combo is a same-move combo, double its priority. Then, if both moves in the combo have a priority of 0 or less, subtract 2 from the result.

If you would take 2 minutes to open the NDA and simply try to understand a single stanza of text then you would see that it is [2(Priority) - 2] for Same-move combinations, which is exactly as I described it.

Even if it was -6 then whatever is the matter? Solar Beam hits. But for your sake, because apparently the handbook is not crystal clear enough, here you go:

What is Solar Beam's hit priority? -1.

What is -1 + -1 or 2(-1)? -2.

What is -2 - 2? -4.

Mulan15262, The hall is pleased to see you once again, which station do you wish to attend first?

Mulan15262 · Dec 25, 2013

I think you forgot to include Brick Break in Drilbur's moves because Drilbur learned it after I posted that I would challenge, but before the challenge was taken by you. Or maybe I'm dumb and am missing things in the rules.

According to my analysis, I shall pick 6.02214E23's best match-up against opponents and go with

. According to my calculations, I have a 60% chance of a decisive victory, and a 40% chance of a close, but probable, win.

Gerard · Dec 26, 2013

Sorry but I'm forced to take it as posted, in the future if you get more moves before you're taken make sure to update your post :)

Ok, what opponent will be the next to sense your fury!?

Mulan15262 · Dec 31, 2013

I can use subs, just not action subs (or whatever they're called). Chance subs and KO subs are legal, so I would assume that the subs I used were legal.

Anyways, I choose

. Should (ideally) be another good match-up. But, as my prior experience shows, a probable, but not certain good match is usually bad.
Knowing my luck, it'll probably be an Emolga.

Gerard · Jan 1, 2014

As you said, you're allowed to use chance subs and KO subs, your subs falled into neither. "If Fire Blast burns you then..." it's a chance sub, because there is a chance that it will happen (10% in this case), "If you hit yourself in confusion...", "If your attack misses..." etc... are all examples of chance subs, your sub was a move substitution because you made a response in case my mon used a move, Counter, if you want to learn more about this I suggest you read the beginner book and any rules you don't understand I'll be happy to help with
