Kaxtar vs. Rediamond: Fist vs. Insect

Status
Not open for further replies.
Rediamond does not walk in confidently, as he mutters "This was a really bad idea." It only is with an attitude like that! Surely Kaxtar is a bit nervous too, but he doesn't look it as he prepares for the fight with his fighters.

Japanese Zen Boxing Arena (go with it...)
4v4 Doubles, Items ON, No Switch, Two Abilities, 5 Chills/3 Recoveries per Pokemon, 2 Substitutions (Old style, IF->THEN on one action), Positioning ON (only need to specify if it effects the Pokemon's innate STAB bonus), Coinflip Turn Order
-Inside so no Thunder allowed, little light from skylights
-No weather allowed sans Sunny Day becuase indoors
-Low ceiling prevents Fly/Sky Drop from being used
-Rowdy spectators are making tons of noise and cause Psychic move users to lose focus and thus reduce the BP of Psychic moves by 3
-Natural usable elements include: Polished titanium circular boxing ring, water moat (10 feet deep) around arena, floating island gardens, rustic dirt floor, decorative Japanese black rocks, antique parabolic torches (think Olympics)
-The entire arena, although varied in components, is roughly a cramped 40-foot diameter circle and thus activates Fighting's "Increased senses in close combat." This boost is codified as a +1 Accuracy stage boost and +4 (Final) Speed stat, and applies to other types (Steels get the same boost in the boxing ring, Water in the moat, Ground on the floor, Grass in the gardens, Fire on the torches, Rock in the rock gardens).


I can't tell if I like this arena for its beauty or its versatility in environments for battling. Now, let's keep getting closer to the start of the match!

An average of about 44 moves per mon, pretty damn good! They all look pretty ready to kick some kung-fu-knowing ass! This looks like it should be a close battle! Who will come out on top? How much will the arena affect the outcome of the match? Who shall prove to be the more skilled battler? Let's find out right now!

It seems I gotta flip a coin to see who will send out Pokemon first; fortunately I always have a couple of quarters in my pocket. Heads for the leader, tails for the challenger:

RNG (<=500=heads): 6/1000


Kaxtar sends out two Pokemon and equips items
Rediamond sends out two Pokemon, equips items, and orders
Kaxtar orders
I ref


Let's get do battle already!
 
"Imagine that. We've never actually battled until now. I trust this will be every bit as difficult as I predict it will be. Togekiss and Heracross, let's start this. While flinching the opponents to death is not a viable option at the moment, both of you are strong enough to find other ways around our foes."

"Togekiss, take this EXP Share. It will not be as useful as our opponent's items, but it will be of service once the battle is over. Trickery is virtually impossible at this point, so let us try something simpler."

Hustle Enabled
Air Slash Gallade~Flamethrower Lucario~Air Slash Gallade
IF Gallade uses Evasive Teleport, use Extremespeed Gallade that action
IF Gallade uses Disable Air Slash, replace action three with Sky Attack Gallade.

"Heracross, you are in much the same boat as Togekiss. Take this Muscle Band to help you power through your opponents, and then hammer away."

Earthquake~Shadow Claw Gallade~Bulldoze
IF Lucario uses Counter, then replace this round's actions with Shadow Claw Gallade
Shadow Claw Gallade~Aerial Ace Gallade~Shadow Claw Gallade
IF Gallade uses Aerial Ace (Heracross), then replace that action with Counter and push actions back (This substitution has priority)


I believe this is near the best of what I can do. It can be disrupted, but I don't think it can be disrupted in such a way that it ends with an incredible disadvantage on my side. Of course, it's your job to prove me wrong Kaxtar.
 
Lucario: Zen Headbutt Heracross thrice
Gallade: Zen Headbutt Heracross~Rock Slide~Torment Togekiss

IF Heracross is not under 22.5 HP by the start of action 3, THEN change A3 to Zen Headbutt Heracross.

Rediamond generally seems nervous about this match, but his Pokemon are all pumped and ready to go; Airplane looks especially ready to try hard. Kaxtar and his mons were just sparring five minutes ago, so they already look a little bit sweaty! Anyway, the Pokemon are just about to start! Demi Gravidon quickly runs up to Corpus and headbutts him, but the noise of the audience seems to have thrown him off a bit. Airplane very quickly responds by swinging his wings, thus slicing Demi Gravidon with wind. Aura Beast copies his teammate, and he too is a bit disrupted by the loud crowd. I see Aura Beast is wearing a Choice Band, so I'm not even going to bother announcing his other moves this round. Demi Gravidon once again moves right before Airplane can, throwing some of the decorative, black rocks at the challenger's team. One of the rocks hits Airplane right in the eye, so the plane goes craaaaashing down into the water. Demi Gravidon laughs at Airplane mercilessly, which, for some reason, inspires Airplane to switch up his strategy. Despite this, he does the same move as before, moving his wings aggressively, attacking Demi Gravidon with strong wind. Aura Beast, for the third time, headbutts Corpus, this time surprising him and causing him to flinch. At this point, it seems that the battle is more or less even, but Kaxtar is definitely ahead by a little bit.

Hey, BP of psychic moves is reduced by 3 in the arena. I'm not sure that was factored in, so I wanted to point it out.

EDIT: Also, Gallade should've had Life Orb factored into recoil
 
Woopsie, my bad... that calcs are fixed, and I'll type up the flavor right after I have a snack.

EDIT: OK I didn't do that flavor right away, but it's done now.
 
Alright, here we go! One note however, C$FP: You forgot the "enhanced senses" bonus for the fighters, which is +4 Speed (ie 92+4=96) and +1 Acc stage (iirc it is a 4/3 multiplier).

Lucario: Stone Edge Togekiss Thrice

IF Gallade fails to KO Heracross A1, THEN change A1 to Stone Edge Heracross.

Gallade: Psycho Cut Heracross~Stone Edge Togekiss~Ice Punch Togekiss

IF Heracross uses Endure A1 (in any way, shape or form), THEN change that action to Will-o-Wisp Heracross.
IF Togekiss uses Morning Sun on A2 or A3, THEN change that action to Taunt Togekiss and push others back.
 
"Time for the counter strike. Blow these clowns away."

Note: I am assuming Togekiss' combination works like the ASB Threat list states it does, as the DAT doesn't provide notes for a +2 move combined with a -1 move.

Togekiss: Sky Attack+Extremespeed Gallade~Cooldown (Sky Attack+Extremespeed Gallade)~Aura Sphere Lucario
Heracross: Endure~Reversal Lucario~Reversal Lucario

EDIT: If the combination doesn't work like it would appear it is supposed to in terms of priorities, replace it with these orders:

Togekiss: Follow Me~Heat Wave~Aura Sphere Lucario
Heracross: Earthquake+Bulldoze~Cooldown~Brick Break Lucario

This should KO both Pokemon if my math in terms of Heracross' damage output with Muscle Band is correct. If my math is further correct, I may escape this without losing a Pokemon.
 
I'm pretty sure it was ruled on IRC that the priority of the combo would not at all be the way it was described in the Threat List, and I think you were both there for that discussion anyway.

For some reason, Rediamond seems much more confident than last round, perhaps we'll find out why. Airplane starts flying around the arena like crazy, insulting Aura Beast and Demi Gravidon, taking their attention away from Corpus entirely. Demi Gravidon slashes at Airplane, and Aura Beast throws one of the rocks sharply at Airplane, even though Kaxtar told them both to target Corpus. Corpus jumps up high, and then lands on the floor, shaking the whole stadium. Rediamond seems quite satisfied with his Pokemon already! Now, Airplane is faster than the fighters, and flaps his wings to create a hot burst of hot wind going towards Kaxtar's side of the arena, knocking out the weakened Demi Gravidon. Corpus just stands still, recovering his breath from his impressive seismic move from last round. Aura Beast, of course, throws another stone at Airplane with great force, more powerfully than last time. Airplane and Corpus both attack Aura Beast with moves that Kaxtar should be very familiar with, as they are the same type as all of his Pokemon! The gang attack is too much for Aura Beast, who falls to the floor, right beside his partner.

Stone Edge should not have had it's BAP halved A1, it isn't a contact move.

That went about as horrible as possible. We've probably lost at this point, but we have a shot.

All of the mons on the field look sugar high right now, as though they are going to crash in a minute. Infernape rushes into a defensive stance, just in time before Aiplane flies at him at a super high speed! Heracross then quickly leaps at Corpus, repeatedly clawing and punching until Corpus falls over, unable to battle. Heracross and Airplane both briefly take a coffee break, while Infernape does a little dance on one of the floating island gardens. Infernape finishes the round by whipping one of the decorative rocks at Airplane, causing Airplane to finally crash down next to his parnter.

Wait C$FP I changed my actions on the 17th. Kiss should still be alive, and I should be up if I did things correctly.
 
That's what I get for just keeping the tab open for days without refreshing. Anyway, Rediamond still has to send in a mon before Kaxtar orders. (Also, Extremespeed+Extremespeed is priority 4, Quick Guard is priority 3.)
 
That's just kinda stupid :( Really should have thought that through, though. Oh well, we should be fine.

Infrenape: Rock Slide~Fake Out~Fire Blast Scyther

IF Scyther used a Combo A1, THEN swap A2 with A3.
IF Scyther uses Counter on A3, THEN change that action to Stone Edge+Stone Edge Combo Scyther.

Heracross: Helping Hand Infernape~Stone Edge~Rock Slide

IF Scyther uses Aerial Ace or Wing Attack on you (including in a combo), THEN change that action to Counter and push others back.
 
"Alright, let's simplify this down to a one on one. I think I can do that much."

Togekiss: Extremespeed+Extremespeed Infernape
Scyther: Counter~Bug Bite Heracross~Aerial Ace+Aerial Ace Heracross
If my math is right, this could potentially be dangerous for Kaxtar.

On the off chance that this fails spectacularuly...

IF Scyther flinches action one...
Flinch~Flinch~Protect
 
Playing with fire there rediamond, 49% chance that you flinch on either A1 or A3. Anyways, I think you need to state who you're targeting with counter A1.
 
Do I have a better chance? I wasn't going to mention the HAX because that pretty much ensures that something bad happens. Counter automatically targets the last user of a physical attack against it (Infernape). Bar the first flinch, Heracross' sub A3 should activate, KO'ing Scyther but allowing me to deal quite a bit of damage first.

Basically, 70% chance of nearly insured victory, 30% chance of getting screwed. I'm already pretty much screwed by conventional tactics (Bide is disrupted by Fake Out, I'm not resorting to the even more luck based attract), and I like the odds.

tl;dr Rediamond risks a badge on a 70% chance, Counter specification unneeded

EDIT: Bug trainers love playing with fire XD

I have a feeling a shit load of stuff is going to happen this round... Heracross give Infernape a good ol' pat on the back at supersonic speeds, encouraging him greatly. Airplane repeats his attack from last round, dive bombing Infernape very quickly, but not quite as quite as Heracross' pat on the back! Infernape picks up a pile of rocks, and, with extra high self esteem, throws them at Airplane and Claw, knocking Airplane out finally and hurting Claw significantly, but Claw retaliates with a punch of doom to Infernape's stomach, easily knocking him into a wall and unconscious for the match. Claw follows up by taking a big, tasty bite from Heracross' horn. Heracross picks up one of the black rocks (which are really starting to thin out from overuse for hurting Pokemon) and hurls it at Claw for great damage. Claw flies up high, then flies towards Heracross and slashes him with one of her sharp arms. Heracross turns on Claw, slamming his horn into her (ew) for tremendous damage, causing Claw to fly into the stands, knocked out. The round is over, and it seems that Rediamond is at an advantage. I wonder how this will turn out.

"Gengar, let's finish this together. You have no need of an item to finish this."

Hidden Power~Shadow Ball~Hidden Power

IF Double Team, use Taunt
IF Bide, use (Substitute 15)~Double Team (4)~Hidden Power, with the sequence beginning on the first action of Bide.

I screwed this up something awful, but I think there (STILL!!!) might be a chance left in there. Fucking Quick Guard...
