Mindstrike the Gallade

Gallade - Mindstrike (M)
Nature: Quiet (+1 SpA, -15% Speed, -10% Evasion)
Type: Psychic/Fighting
Psychic: Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic attacks regardless of weight difference. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.
Fighting: Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions of throwing/grappling moves. Superior reaction time in close quarters.

Abilities:
Steadfast: (Innate) If this Pokemon is flinched, it becomes aware of the speed difference and increases speed by one (1) stage to make up the difference. This speed boost is maintained at the end of each round.
Justified (DW): (Innate) This Pokemon's body reacts to dark energy, invigorating its passions. When hit by a Dark-type move, the Pokemon's attack will increase 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.

Vital Spirit (DW): (Innate) This Pokemon has a high vitality and alertness making it immune to sleep induced by other Pokemon. Its normal state of sleeplessness makes it take 1 less damage/action from Ghost Curse. If it is put to sleep by a Pokemon with Mold Breaker it will wake up the next action.

Shadowstrike the Golurk

Golurk(*) - Shadowstrike(U)
Nature: Adamant (+1 Atk, -1 SpA)
Type: Ground/Ghost
Ground: Ground STAB; Immune to all electrical attacks, can Dig through almost any substance, Evasive Digging reduced from 3 per action Energy Cost to 2 per action, superior senses in darkened cave surroundings.
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:
Iron Fist: (Innate) The Base Attack Power of this Pokemon’s “Punch” attacks is increased by two (2). (Known attacks effected: Bullet Punch, Comet Punch, Dizzy Punch, Drain Punch, Dynamicpunch, Fire Punch, Focus Punch, Hammer Arm, Ice Punch, Mach Punch, Mega Punch, Meteor Mash, Shadow Punch, Sky Uppercut, Thunderpunch)
Klutz: (Can be Disabled) The Pokemon moves in a rare style of battling that uses an unpredictable, clumsy looking manner. The accuracy of its attacks are increased by 10% (flat). While engaging in this style it cannot use a hold item, however an item is necessary to pull it off.
No Guard (DW): (Innate) This Pokemon has an immense confidence from perfecting each of its attacks, giving them all perfect accuracy. Resultingly it feels it can weather every strike, and will not dodge an attack even if ordered to. Only when a OHKO move is issued by the opponent does sense return, and the Pokemon acts normally. Additionally even with their extra skill, the power and exhaustion involved in using OHKO moves prevents them from being benefitted by No Guard, they will have their normal accuracy.

"Well, here I am again," Brandon thought to himself as he stepped back onto the Battle Subway for the first time in months. The last time he was here, it was the grand opening, and he was the first challenger. He made it to Ingo thanks to an amazing performance by Shellstrike, his Carracosta, but unfortunately with only Shadowstrike, then a Golett, and Mindstrike, then a Ralts, to back Shellstrike up, he was unable to defeat Ingo and claim victory. It had been a long time, and since then his Pokemon had gotten much stronger. He had no intention of losing a second time.

Seeing his opponent ready to battle, Brandon wasted no time. Last time Shellstrike had taken the lead, but this time Brandon chose a Pokemon who didn't have a weakness as easy to exploit as Shellstrike's weakness to Grass. "Alright, let's go Mindstrike!" Mindstrike appeared in a flash, but he was no longer a Ralts. Instead, a fully evolved and powerful Gallade stood in front of Brandon, sizing up the Fraxure facing them. "Let's do this! Start with a Reflect to weaken his blows, then follow up with a massive Focus Punch to take advantage of his setup! Then, finish off with an Encore to give us another chance to take advantage!"

Summary:
Reflect -> Focus Punch -> Encore (Swords Dance)

If a move would completely fail because of an effect like Disable, Heal Block, or Taunt the move fails on its first use without costing energy and subsequent uses of attacks that will completely fail will instead use Struggle.

"Great job Mindstrike, let's finish this up. Combine Ice Punch and Brick Break to make a chilling chop to knock out that Fraxure once and for all, and Shadow Sneak it once you've recovered if for some reason it survives. If you don't think that'll work, then just Ice Punch twice and finish off with a Shadow Sneak.

Ice Punch + Brick Break -> cooldown -> Shadow Sneak

"Alright Mindstrike, since he's so deadset on his Scald attack, let's make ourselves immune to it by stealing his Water Absorb with a Skill Swap! After that, slam him with a Close Combat, then follow up with a massive Focus Punch!"

Summary:
Skill Swap -> Close Combat -> Focus Punch
If Focus Punch would be broken by an absorbed attack (I don't think it would, the Veekun description specifies that damage needs to be done while the others merely say need to be hit), then replace A3 with Brick Break

Brandon smiled as Ingo stepped into the Subway. Last time he was here, Ingo defeated him, but Brandon hadn't been ready that time, with only one fully evolved Pokemon.

This time, he was more than ready.

"Alright, let's do this Mindstrike!" The Gallade appeared on the field, leading off just like he had that first time, then a Ralts. "Remember this guy Ingo? Well he's back for a bit of payback. Now send out your first Pokemon and let's get the battle started!"

 

[Engineer Pikachu]

"Go, Crustle! Smash this little karate kid into pieces!"

"MOOOOOOOOOOO"

Spikes - Aerial Ace - Spikes
IF (Gallade uses Taunt) AND (Your previous action was not Protect) AND (You are not Taunted) THEN (Use Protect and push back the queue)
IF (You are Taunted and are to use Spikes) THEN (Use Aerial Ace if it's not Disabled; Earthquake if it is)
