Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
What's the lose focus thing then? Is it a nerf rather than a buff, like I thought it was?
Okay, Outrage, Outrage, Giga Impact
If counter a3, Giga Impact + Giga Impact
With Snorlax safely Outraging away our leader is safe to do whatever he basically wants and as a result out comes Slasher the Haxorus to just show off some raw power. Taking total advantage of Zzz!'s preoccupied nature and massive girth a Low Kick does kinda harsh damage. At least the Outrage does hit critically. A quick one two punch of Brick Break brings Snorlax close to the brink and as soon as he gets himself a little (or a lot) confused finishing the Outrage Haxorus finishes him with another switft Kick and Texas evens up the KO count while going rather far ahead in the total HP stakes. Even if it did cost Slasher almost half his HP.
Beg your pardon? I didn't crit, you did, and I didn't Counter at all. So yeah, no complaining.
Dragon Tail ~ Dragon Tail ~ Dragon Tail
If Double Team clones are present when you would act, Earthquake that action and push back
If Damaging Normal type combo, Protect that action and push back
Yarnus sends out his offensive piece to try and wrench back some momentum, but the Rocks he immediately runs into kind of put a halt on that. At least he is able to Endure the round while Slasher just swings and swings and swings with his Dragon Tail. It allows Pow! to get off a couple of sets of Fury Swipes but Slasher performs a pseudo Endure by ending the round with exactly 1 HP left. Of course Ambipom does too but he's on the bench with no way to avoid those rocks on the way back in so it might as well be KOed. Looks like Yum! is here on its own.

Getting Rocked
As Yum! takes a nice hit of Stealth Rocks on the way in Yarnus is at least able to coax Slasher into using a bit of a weaker attack. If by weaker attack you mean a meager 30 damage SuperPower. At least Yum! is able to take the powerhouse out with a Body Slam, even with some totally useless paralysis to boot. The leader is left to a single dragon now, but at least its the pretty decent Maleficient. Time to see what Yarnus can pull out.

Poor Yum! has to resort to the most desperate of tactics to just try and stay alive in this one, but Maleficient just simply Flies over the top of the Lickilicky's Supersonic waves and then crashes down hard on the hapless mamal (at least I think it's a mamal?). Yum! is able to get one decent shot in with some Focus Blast, even managing to drop the Hydreigon's Special Defence to boot. Of course it all counts for nought when Maleficient unleashes some terribly Super Power and takes Yum! out in one harsh blow. Then the referee inexplicably decides to skip right ahead to the next round also, given that all Pow! can do is come in and die to the Stealth Rocks. Texas Cloverleaf picks up a very solid victory!

MVP!
If Frosty can hand these out then so can I damnit! Only instead of counting damage and KOs I'm just going by the feel of the match. While some of Slasher's raw damage output was indeed mighty impressive I'm giving this one to Druddigon. Druddy, who I believe could easily be nicknames Roughneck used a combination of Ability and Item to neuter Yarnus' main thread in Ambipom and those Stealth Rocks proved pivotal towards the end. Who would have thought the most unsung Dragon in Pokemon would turn out so important in this match.
