Banned deucer.
Hello all, and welcome to the first round of ASB's tournament showcasing the best of the best! Will this go the way of other tournaments in ASB history? Let us discover:
10:59 rickheg: There's still hope of him DQ'ing himself. Seriously my best bet, I think
I guess some are hoping it will.
There are no easy matchups in this tournament—just ask me grumble grumble—and rickheg vs deadfox081 is no exception! One of these men will stand, one will fall. Will the victor be rickheg?
Type: Rock
Abilities:
Levitate: (Passive) This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading the Ground moves Bulldoze, Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude. Earth Power will have three (3) less Base Attack Power. Dig and Dive can strike a Levitating Pokemon if their user is over Size Class 4, has Levitate, is 3.5m or larger, or is a Flying-type. Otherwise Dig and Dive will miss. Ground moves can still hit.
Technician: (Passive) This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally deal 6 or below base damage to have their base damage multiplied by 1.5. (e.g. Aerial Ace goes from 6 to 9, Mach Punch goes from 4 to 6, etc.) The Energy Cost for a one-hit or two-hit attack is increased by one (1). Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) damage, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2).
Mold Breaker (DW): (Passive) Whenever this Pokemon attacks, it emits an invisible, blindingly quick pulse preceding the attack that disables the opponents natural abilities (e.g. Levitators plummet towards the ground before Earthquake hits, Volt Absorb will not absorb electric attacks, Clear Body does not prevent stat-drops, etc.)

Chlorophyll (DW): (Passive) During bright sunlight, this Pokemon’s cells absorb more solar energy, doubling (x2) their speed.

Abilities:
Steadfast: (Passive) 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) (Passive) 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 another Pokemon's attack will be maintained at the end of each round. Self-targeted attacks do not maintain boosts.

rickheg is a man known for his battling skills that are just below the radar, and also for his periods of sudden extended absence, making his hope that deadfox would DQ rather ironic. He seems to have adopted the exact same strategy as me: bring two ridiculously powerful CAPs (as opposed to the other CAPs which are just powerful) and a Gallade. May it work for both of us.

deadfox081 is famous for being absolutely amazing at finishing off raid bosses and failing to finish off opponents, and, more recently, for a shocking ragequit post that all are glad he has reversed. This man has been denied a gym not once, but twice, the exact antithesis of user Frosty. Will he be able to channel his frustration into unstoppable orders? Or will he continue the saga of chokes? Only time will tell.
Both of these teams look absolutely terrifying to face, which makes this battle even tougher to call. Let's start this nailbiter the way it'll end: with a coinflip.Reuniclus [Psycha] (F)
