Wow, this is going to be an exciting match. Both users bring their typical "playstyle" to help them through this round of the Little Cup Tournament. Texas Cloverleaf, similar to his previously-owned Dragon-type gym, brings some heavy hitters that can churn out some serious damage, even in unfavorable match-ups. Conversely, zarator brings a tricky team fit of the Ghost-type Gym Leader, with how he plays Zorua likely deciding the game. Let's see how this shakes out!

​
And we start the match off with a bang! Texas abuses zarator's substitution to knock off almost half of Zorua's HP. However, the latter two actions prove most key, as Zorua manages to lower Munchlax's accuracy, resulting in Whirlpool missing! Texas can still do a dry switch, but it may result in him being counterswitched pretty hard. Still, it may be worth it, as hanging out with a Munchlax with dropped accuracy may spell a recipe for disaster.​

Action 1:
Munchlax focused itself!
Zorua used Counter!
But it failed!
-6en
Munchlax used Superpower + Focus Punch!
RNG Roll (Crit) [<=625 Crit]: 3093/10000 (No)
(15+12+1.5) x 1.5 = 42.75 damage
-27en
-1 Attack (Munchlax)
-1 Defense (Munchlax

Action 2:
Zorua used Night Daze!
RNG Roll (Crit) [<=625 Crit]: 4728/10000 (No)
RNG Roll (Effect) [<=4000 Effect]: 2816/10000 (Yes)
(9+3+2+4.5) = 18.5 damage
-6en
-1 Accuracy (Munchlax)
Munchlax cooled down.

Action 3:
Zorua used Dark Pulse!
RNG Roll (Crit) [<=625 Crit]: 9624/10000 (No)
RNG Roll (Effect) [<=2000 Effect]: 7712/10000 (No)
(8+3+2+4.5) = 17.5 damage

The turn of the round brings out two entirely new Pokemon. On one side, the absolutely-broken-as-a-rank-two Pokemon Timburr takes the field, wielding its favorite Life Orb. But on the other, zarator sends out defensive behemoth Togepi, which looks to play differently than its evolved form. Texas favors some substitution abuse this round, despite his Poison Jab being slightly stronger than Togepi's STAB SE attacks. Still, zarator is coming in hot with a Future Sight, so this match-up is far from over.​

Action 1:
Timburr used Poison Jab!
RNG Roll (Crit) [<=625 Crit]: 7125/10000 (No)
(8+3+2+2) x 1.5 = 22.5 damage
-6en
Togepi used Dazzling Gleam!
RNG Roll (Crit) [<=1250 Crit]: 2242/10000 (No)
(8+3+1.5) x 1.5 = 18.75 damage
-5en

Action 2:
Timburr used Block!
Togepi was trapped!
-6en
Togepi used Extrasensory!
RNG Roll (Crit) [<=1250 Crit]: 126/10000 (Yes)
Critical hit!
(8+3+1.5) x 1.5 = 18.75 damage
-6en

Action 3:
Timburr burrowed underground!
Togepi used Future Sight!
RNG Roll (Crit) [<=625 Crit]: 9727/10000 (No)
(12+1.5) x 1.5 = (20.25 damage)
-8en
Timburr used Dig!
RNG Roll (Crit) [<=625 Crit]: 1053/10000 (No)
(8+3) = 11 damage

[09:51:11] <Skyla> Birkal: you should actually mark that Togepi is a Togepi
[09:51:58] <Skyla> also Poison Jab is missing either Iron Fist or Sheer Force

oh right I can't switch again

Poison Jab ~ Poison Jab ~ Poison Jab
If Counter then Focus Energy on the first instance, Knock Off on the second instance, and Taunt on the third instance
If Fairy type combination then Protect that action and push back
If Substitute (25) is used and you are faster then Taunt the first instance

Timburr goes down thanks to a vicious combination attack from Togepi. It's surprising to see so much power from a defensive Pokemon! Still, Zarator is a master of playing to the flow of battle, and has controlled it here with a smooth use of Future Sight. Still, Timburr manages to take huge chunks off damage off of Togepi, in part due to two critical hits. Not only does he get to send out a new Pokemon, but he'll get to order second and will have the option to finish off Togepi. We'll have to see if this KO was worth the upcoming lost in momentum for Zarator.​

Texas dispatches of Togepi while setting up a quick Substitute. zarator's down to two Pokemon, but he gets to send out Koffing. Unfortunately, he really has no other option, as Texas may be forcing Koffing here with a trick up his sleeve. Still, zarator may be able to take momentum here on a counterswitch in future rounds. But Munchlax isn't really a good Pokemon to counterswitch into, so we've got a hot match still going here.​
