After taking out Gengar, Clawitzer fall rather unspectacularly to Necturna, who took advantage of its cooldown to deal major damage. Both challenger and leader are now down to their final pokemon.

Shadow Claw - Hidden Power - Shadow Claw
IF Haxorus uses Taunt, replace your respective action with Protect and push your actions back. Do not play this substitution more than once.
IF Haxorus uses a damaging Dragon-type move AND is not behind a Substitute AND is not under the effects of Soak AND you're not under the effects of Taunt, THEN replace your respective action with Soak and all your remaining actions with Horn Leech.
"Well we definitely need it taunted."

The battle is nearing it's conclusion; both battlers are down to their final pokemon. Neither pokemon has a significant advantage in match-up, so these last few rounds will surely be exciting and very close. Though Zarator has an HP lead, thanks to a mishap with Counter on a Ghost-type, he is now taunted, signficantly reducing Necturna's threat.

A taunted Necturna is still nonetheless a dangerous Necturna. Removing Dragon Fang and using a recovery move allowed Zarator to maintain his HP lead while also lowering Deadfox's damage output as well. Things look grim for Deadfox, but he orders second this round. Let's see if he can make a clever comeback.

I believe we have reached the conclusion of this story
Horn Leech - Shadow Claw - Hidden Power
If Haxorus uses Endure and is not behind a substitute, replace your respective action with Infestation and push your actions back
If Haxorus uses Dig, replace your respective action with Shadow Sneak.
"I think we actually might be able to dig ourselves out of this one."
Haxorus: Protect - Aerial Ace + Guillotine - Cool [Aerial Ace + Guillotine]
