Battle Pike [Gold Rank] - Athenodoros

[Athenodoros]

I'm pretty sure Curse stops with switching in ASB too, so DNite should have an extra 15 HP.

Anyway, I switch to Krillowatt...

IF Earthquake, use Counter and move actions along

[Athenodoros]

I feel silly.

Aerial Ace ~ Wing Attack ~ Aerial Ace
IF he uses Reflect, use Brick Break
IF he uses Dragon Pulse, use Fly

NB: I'm assuming Dragon Pulse can't be combined with Twister or Leaf Tornado, on the grounds that it can't. But if you feel like that's allowed, then I'd like to remove the 2nd sub.
