"Welcome to your first battle in ASB. I'll do my best to guide you through, so you should do your best too. Let's have some fun. You'll start off by sending out one of your Pokemon. Don't forget to give it a training item!"

Winterr sends out a Pokemon and equips it
I send, equip, and order
Winterr issues orders
I ref

 

[Winterr]

All right! Let's do this!

Zorua (M) @ Amulet Coin

 

[Ooraloo]

"It's time to start the fight! You order by selecting three moves, one for each action in the round. The player who orders first usually makes use of substitutions to anticipate and try to counter their opponent's potential strategies. For example, Snorunt's substitution allows me to avoid getting hit by Counter, a potentially devastating move. Because of the substitution, on an action that you order Zorua to use Counter, Snorunt replaces its normal action with Icy Wind, making Counter fail. Substitutions are powerful tools for players."

Snorunt @ Heart Scale
Avalanche | Ice Beam | Avalanche
If Zorua uses Counter, then use Icy Wind that action.

Winterr orders

 

[Winterr]

"Show them your moves, Zorua!"

Dark Pulse ~ Dig ~ Dark Pulse

 

[Ooraloo]

Sorry for the delay. I've been busy lately handling a family emergency.

"Nice moves! I can't complain at all. Now it's your turn to order first. Take a look at Snorunt's most threatening or disrupting moves and try to write substitutions to counter them."

Winterr orders

 

[Winterr]

"Let's keep it up Zorua!"

"Cold ... so cold ..."

Dark Pulse ~ Faint Attack ~ Dark Pulse
If Snorunt is biding then use Fake Tears.
If Dark Pulse is disabled then replace it with Snarl.

 

[Ooraloo]

Oops I've been bad.

Winterr let me know if you still want to continue this.
