About Battling 101:The player has the right to fight the tutor in at most 3 battles (singles or doubles), being two 2vs2 and one 3vs3. In those battles the player can use either rentals, aka, copies of pokemon owned by registered players, or his own mons. The Tutor should respond with either rentals or pokemon of his own that match the level of the ones used by the player.

The battle will play out normally, with the tutor playing to win. During the match, the tutor should give tips on moves and what-not, but only after the player orders. Comment on why a certain strategy you/they used went right/wrong and why you/they won/lost the battle.

The Pupil isn't obligated to use all 3 battles, or to use them before or after registering. They can register their team and use the 3 battles to pratice with them. Or they can use the 3 battle solely to try on stuff. Or they can test with 2 matches, register a team and then use the last one as a final test. Or any other way that seems fit.

oh this azurill will give me headaches -_-. So it is a good mon to send out when ordering last.

Anyway

Growlithe with Heart Scale

Growlithe: Take Down - Close Combat - Take Down
IF Water typed damaging move AND outside a combo AND Growlithe is faster THEN Dig and push back
IF Water typed damaging move AND in a combo THEN Protect and push back
 
I should really get more moves other than water asap, for now I believe my only two choices I have is giving you sleep/paralysis or encore so I may attack with water. I choose the second option. Hopefully I dont regret

Encore-> Waterfall -> Waterfall
 
using water moves in this situation is very enticing, but you gotta back up your desires with number (that sounded too poetic...). To be more specific, your action set results in 37hp of damage on growlithe and 32 on Azurill, ending with a -1atk azurill. A simple Body Slam - Return - Body Slam action set would give you around 41hp of damage on growlithe and 35 on azurill with a -1atk azurill and a -1def/spd growlithe, with a nice 51% chance of paralysis due to body slam. Second option has more potential to cause damage (in theory) and is cheaper so it is better, even though it has 0 SE moves and is as dull (and non-intuitive) as it can get. In the end the difference is small, but this is just for you to notice that going SE isn't necessarily always the best course of action.

Regardless, using encore is nice strategy. Good job.

lets see 6.666... from paybacks (w/o crit) and automatic -10hp from night shade so i will...

substitute 20 -> thunder wave -> thunderbolt+thundershock
 
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhh

why 6.666 from payback? Payback is Dark and Mareep is Electric, so it hits neutral?

Also thunder wave is wonderful if accompanied by Electro Ball. Which Mareep has. So keep it in mind? Also also, thanks to static there is a 30% chance your thunder wave will be semi-useless (it will just boost paralysis from 20% to 25%). Keep it in mind and use a sub to cover that.

Yeah, a lot to cover. So always take your time when ordering. Unless you don't particularly care about the end result.

oops i calced muy wrong ^^; one thing im fearing atm (because im somewhat confused on how it works) hopefully it doesnt happen

cooldown -> Electro Ball -> thunderbolt

IF Duskull is paralyzed A2 THEN use Charge A2 and thunderbolt A3
IF Duskull uses protect A2 THEN Charge A2 -> thunderbolt+thundershock A3
 
Toon

I was about to ref this, but before, I have a question: that first sub is correct? Also did you mean Paralysed (status) or Fully Paralysed?

I am guessing there was supposed to be a "not" somewhere there, i think?
 
frosty n it mean if duskull is fully paralyzed (unable to perform their action because of paralysis) then activate the sub

im sorry for my bad wording
 
Full Paralysis won't remove paralysis (unless Duskull FPs twice this round, and still you would be able to sneak an electro ball in). So I fail to see the need for that sub to be entirely honest.
Night Shade - Payback - Night Shade

Growlithe is sent out!
Toon orders
I order and ref
etc

​
 
tbh idk what to do here

Chill -> Thunderbolt+Thunderbolt -> CD

IF Growlithe uses Morning Sun any action Then ThunderWave Same action, do not repeat this sub more than once
IF Growlithe uses Substitute any action Then uses Thunderbolt+thunderbolt same action -> cooldown next action
 
combos ordering first are very very very unreliable.

also funny thing: if you don't have energy to pull out something, it isn't an illegal order. It just may fail.

15hp Substitute

ACTION 1!

Growlithe used 15hp substitute! (-12en)

Mareep tried to use Thunderbolt + Thunderbolt!
From Handbook: One other attribute a combo has is base energy cost. This is the minimum amount of energy the Pokemon needs to execute the combo. If it has less, the combo fails and the Pokemon faints from exhaustion. If the combo is a same-move combo, the base energy cost is the cost of using the move on that action and the following action, with all modifiers like STAB and consecutive use penalty factored in. If the combo is a different-move combo, the base energy cost is the cost of using one move on that action and the other move on the following action, with all modifiers like STAB and applying consecutive use penalty to whichever move (if either) was used on the action prior to the combo. The exception is if either move in the combo states that it requires the full amount of energy to use, like Explosion. In this case, the base energy cost is equal to the combo's total energy cost.
Base Energy Cost: 7-1+7+4-1= 16

Mareep doesn't have the base energy cost!
the combo failed!

Mareep fainted!

@ Lucky Egg
--------------------------------------------
I should read handbook more =3=
hmm.... Hopefully i didnt mess up calcs again; return should break sub

Return -> Body Slam -> Return

IF Growlithe Gains Paralyzed(Gains the status) THEN Waterfall (A3)
 
Just a small thing: You could have ended this with a combo A3. Since you are ordering last, you can combo with no drawbacks. Especially since it ends in KO.

But it will probably matter very little in this match.
