Why am I here?
We are at the ASB arena, with our battlers, Canis Majoris and LouisCyphre. Canis Maioris, Dog, is a relatively new battler in ASB, joining in mid February. He has brought with him today Deep Blue the Metang, and Rita the Argalis. Is bringing two Psychic-types against the former Dark-type Gym Leader a good idea, or is it a horrible mistake?Rules said:
LouisCyphre was once the Dark-type Gym Leader, but he left ASB for a while some time before I came, so I don't actually know him (her?) at all. Today, he has brought Oddjob the Murkrow and Silver the Rebble. Has Lou lost some of his battling ability, or will he smash the newcomer?Canis Majoris said:Thanks!
Metang [Deep Blue] (Genderless)
Desperation Theme: Crowzfest - Phoenix Sword
Deep Blue sees itself as a working program - working twenty-four seven to assure victory, and fighting to the max just to seek more power. Its intelligence is unmatched - but its movement makes turtles seem fast.
Nature: Sassy (+SpD, -Spe, -10% Evasion)
Type: Steel/Psychic
Steel: Steel STAB; immune to Sandstorm, highly insusceptible to toxic attacks, but can be corroded specifically by Acid and Acid Spray, can be magnetized. Superior senses in high-metal environments like construction sites or factories.
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 regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.
Abilities:
Clear Body: (Innate) This Pokemon’s body structure makes it immune to stat-lowering moves used by opponents. (e.g. Intimidate, Growl, Screech etc.)
Light Metal: (DW) (Locked) (Innate) The Pokemon's body is made of a lightweight but extremely strong alloy. It weighs half as much as other members of the species, but is equally sturdy. The Pokemon executes weak attacks much more effectively, adding +1 priority to all their attacks with 6 or less Base Attack Power (after other ability adjustments). Priority is applied to the summed Base Attack Power of a multi-hit move (e.g. Double Kick has priority at 6 BAP, Skill Link Bullet Seed doesn't at 15 BAP.)

<Argalis> [Rita] (Female)
Desperation Theme: Tales of Vesperia - A Bet on This Bout
Upon evolution, Rita has stopped talking in physical form. Her psychic powers are much stronger, however.
Nature: Sassy (+1 SpD, -15% Speed, -10% Evasion)
Type: Bug/Psychic
Bug: Bug STAB; more mobility in dense brush or forest conditions. Gains one extra attack on multi-hit moves, with a cap of five (5).
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 regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.
Abilities:
Shed Skin: (Innate) This Pokemon regularly sheds its skin and any impurities contained in its body. If afflicted with a status condition, this Pokemon has a 33% chance of removing all status conditions at the end of a round.
Compoundeyes: (Innate) This Pokemon’s complex eyes give it a comprehensive view of the field, making its attack 30% (x1.3) more accurate.
Illusion: (DW) (Innate) (Locked) Whenever you send this Pokemon out, it can feign the appearance of another member on your squad. If this Pokemon is damaged by a direct attack, the Illusion will cease at the end of the round. Direct damage is any attack that does damage to the Pokemon's HP. Attacks that are evaded, blocked via Protect, or damage a Substitute are not considered direct damage. It will retain the typing and moveset of the Pokemon with Illusion. [Usage Note: PM the ref if you are sending out a Pokemon with Illusion with the info on said Pokemon and one of your squad members in a Switch=KO battle. You must use that squad member later in the battle though.]

LouisCyphre said:[a]Murkrow[/a][a]Rebble[/a]
Murkrow- Oddjob
Nature: Jolly (Spe +14, Accuracy +26%, SpA: -1)
Type: Dark / Flying
Dark Type - Dark STAB; Immunity to all telepathic and telekinetic attacks, better performance in all darkened and especially twilight conditions. Can use any Dark-type attack regardless of Attraction.
Flying Type - Flying STAB; immunity to Ground attacks outside extremely odd circumstances even for ground-based flying Pokemon. Enhanced aerial mobility. Superior senses in open air arenas.
Abilities:
Insomnia - (Innate) This Pokemon is immune to sleep induced by other Pokemon. It's 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.
Super Luck - (Innate) This Pokemon’s natural skill increases its critical hit rate stage by 1 permanently, to a maximum of 5. Critical hit stages are 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2.
(DW) Prankster - (Innate) The Pokemon is always prepared for engaging in sneaky tactics and trickery, giving its non-damaging attacks an increase in priority level.

Loyal to a fault, Oddjob is lost without a guiding authority to direct himself with. With little initiative of his own, Oddjob requires constant orders to perform in battle. When given the proper guidance, however, Oddjob is ruthlessly efficient and unflinchingly zealous in his efforts, often foregoing sleep in order to complete a directive.
Rebble ф - Sliver
Nature: Timid (Spe +14, Accuracy +30%, Atk: -1)
Type: Rock
Rock Type - Rock STAB; Take 2 less damage from all special attacks during Sandstorm. Able to use Sand Tomb without losing focus.
Abilities:
Levitate - (Trait) This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading Ground moves like Bulldoze, Dig, Earthquake, and Magnitude. Other Ground moves can still hit. Levitate Pokemon will retain the Levitate trait when they use Skill Swap on an enemy, and will steal the opponent's ability (the user can specify if they want a foe or ally to gain Levitate from a Skill Swap.) If a Pokemon with Levitate uses Role Play, they will copy the opponent's abilities and retain Levitate.
Technician - (Innate) This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally have 6 or less Base Attack Power to have their Base Attack Power 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) Base Attack Power, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2). Because Technician is a multiplier on single hit moves, its effect is applied to Base Attack Power before any additive effects.
(DW) Mold Breaker - (Dormant) - (Innate) 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.)

Clicking and chittering, Sliver searches ever for the source of call no other can hear, that speaks with predatory thoughts for the good of a hive. Perhaps it is something it can put behind it?
