[LLAMA QF] Maxim vs. TSRD

LORE, LEGENDS, AND MORE ACTION, QUARTERFINAL ROUND


"It's happening folks! This round will take our contestants that one step closer to being recognized as the most legendary trainer in ASB! Well let's meet our contestants shall we?"

"On the left side stands a seasoned ASB chok--I mean veteran. This man is the leader of the Normal Gym, and hopes to use his all-powerful legendary Regigigas in his gym. He brings a very hard-hitting team, and though his Pokemon don't have too many tricks such as Imprison, these are the type that doesn't need them. Watch out for Heavenbringer the Regigigas, as despite even though it has Slow Start, 110/4/4/2/4/50 stats are not bad at all, and TSRD does not have a Pokemon with a type advantage against it."

"On the other end of the stadium is TRSD, a less well-known but equally skilled battler. He brings to this showdown a team with a variety of typings. Watch out for Amber the Volcanion. It has good stats, but more importantly, has the firepower (Not funny? No?) to take out Gimle, which in turn will allow its teammate Gardevoir to have a field day."


Types
Ignores Attract and Confusion status entirely when using Dark-type damaging and non-damaging attacks.
Immune to Sandstorm damage. Ignores Arena restrictions on Dig and Seismic Attacks for Arenas in which any land mass exists. Evasive Digging reduced from 6 energy per action to 5 per action.

Abilities
Guts [Passive]
This Pokémon is tenacious and will work ever harder when under a status condition, raising the Base Attack Power of all its physical attacks by two. Pokémon with Guts ignore the attack drop from Burn.
Pressure [Passive] (Unlocked)
This Pokémon's presence fills the air with intense anxiety. Any damaging or status attack launched at this Pokémon costs the opposing Pokémon two more energy to perform.
Rebound [Trigger]
This Pokémon is able to bounce one layer of an entry hazard back from their side of the field to the other side with their immense strength and intuition.
Rebound Command: Removes a layer of hazards from the user's side of the field. Places a layer of the same type on the opponent's field.
In battles with more than two teams, the user must target a team to Rebound to.

Types
The consecutive move usage penalty for using damaging Fairy-type moves is reduced to two (2) from four (4).
Can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, or redirecting opposing attacks.

Abilities
Pixilate [Toggle] (Mega)
By default, this Pokémon's Normal-type moves are Fairy-type moves, and have their Base Attack Power increased by two.
When toggled, this Pokémon's Normal-type attacks have their Base Attack Power increased by two.
Only Normal-typed moves changed by Pixilate receive this boost, and not all Fairy-type moves.
If a Pokémon has been skill-swapped multiple abilities that change Normal-type attacks, the attacks become dual-typed, but the Base Attack Power boosts of the abilities do not stack.
Synchronize [Passive]
Pokémon with this ability mentally link their condition to an opposing Pokémon and, when afflicted with the major status ailments Burn, Poison, or Paralysis,
will share their status condition with the opponent. Pokémon will not be afflicted with status conditions to which they are immune by virtue of typing, ability, etc.
Telepathy [Passive] (Unlocked)
This Pokémon has a mental link with its allies in multiple battles, which allows it to avoid taking damage from allied attacks that damage each foe or the entire field like Blizzard and Earthquake.
They are still affected by an opponents spread damage attacks.
Trace [Trigger]
When entering into battle, this Pokémon can replace Trace with an ability on one of its opponents for six Energy. The ability remains on the Pokémon for six actions.
When the copied ability fades, the user regains Trace. This effect only triggers if the ability to be copied is specified when the Pokémon is sent out. Wonder Guard cannot be Traced.
Trace Command: Replace Trace with the target Ability for six actions. When the copied ability fades, the user regains Trace.

"I'm sorry Seriho. I'll do better this time." Seriho looks back toward their room and lets out a sigh.
"She'll be fine. You know that. She just pushed herself too hard last match." Seriho narrowed her eyes and made a concerned warble.
"Here, lets have Haru gather a bit of information on the opposition and you can go back and check on her ok?"


Sending out Haru the Colossoil with an Expert Belt!

Ho boy...this is not going to be an easy match whatsoever. No matter, let's start off with Wyvern!

w/Expert Belt

Hydro Pump~Waterfall~Hydro Pump
If Damaging Evasive move, then use Reflect the first instance and Fly all subsequent ones.
If Encore AND it would Encore Reflect, then use Aqua Jet + Waterfall combo instead of Reflect.
If you are Taunted AND a Damaging Evasive move is used, then alternate Fly and Aqua Jet for all instances.
 
"What a... unique fellow. I think you'd better return Haru and let Seriho handle this."
Haru nods and begins making her escape. Now Seriho just needs to get back...

"Welcome to yet another boring Round 1 in a LLAMA battle. TSRD takes advantage of ordering second to not only gain momentum matchup-wise, but also to chip away Multiscale."

"On Action 1 Colossoil Bounces into the air, and Dragonite, sensing that the attack would hurt a lot coming from a Pokemon with WC 10, puts up a Reflect to further dampen Colossoil's damage output. Colossoil easily takes advantage of this by Encoring Dragonite, causing it to spam Reflect uselessly while Colossoil U-Turns out to a better matchup."

"TSRD has seized the initiative early and now has a free switch into whatever he wants. Seriho should be particularly devastating to Dragonite."

TSRD sends out a mon and orders.
Maxim orders.

Seriho lightly touched Sarasa's ears and let out a sad warble.
She could telepathically hear her name being called but she didn't want to leave.
Sighing she was jerked back to reality when she felt Sarasa put a paw on her arm.
A gentle push and a smile were all she needed to see as she winked out of the room...


Sending out Seriho the Gardevoir with a Gardevoirite!


Trace[Multiscale]; Mega Evolve; Hyper Voice~Icy Wind~Hyper Voice
If Dragonite is ordered to use Bide Then initiate string Will-O-Wisp~Reflect~Hyper Voice [Once]
If Dragonite is ordered to use Light Screen And you are faster Then Taunt, Restart Queue [Once]
If Dragonite is in the evasive stage of a D/E move when you would act Then Reflect the first instance, Chill the second instance, Restart Queue​
 
Here is what IAR said when I asked him:
From what I can interpret, the second substitution cannot occur because he did not explicitly state to replace Reflect on his first substitution with the combination so it defaults to normal substitution priority rules (first sub has precedence).

To properly answer your question, I would deem the substitution to be illegal at any rate because it starts a bit of a loop where the conditions would be met but you are combining instead so the sub condition is no longer met so you would Reflect so the conditions are met again so you would combine...
 
Welp, this is a bit of a problem. Let's get you out of there!

Agility (Evasive)~Wrap~Agility (Evasive)
If Wrap misses, then use it again the following action.
 
NDA said:
Agility (Evasive): The user will evade any slower single target attack, other than perfect accuracy attacks and No Guard attacks. Evasive Agility also fails if used successively, or if used after Protect, Detect, Evasive Teleport, or the Dodge Command. If Evasive Agility is combined with a suitable damaging move, the evasive properties granted by Evasive Agility are nullified.

"This round. Oh boy this round. Let's just get to it shall we?"

"Dragonite begins by using Evasive Agility, moving so fast it's impossible to hit with most attacks. Gardevoir, however, is not panicked, and after Mega Evolving it simply shouts, sending its Hyper Voice into a bunch of empty space, because she knew a Dragonite was in there somewhere, and sure enough, judging by Dragonite's cry of pain (as well as several notable front row spectators covering their ears and cringing; sorry Drayden), it had hit its mark. Dragonite then slows itself down, even as Gardevoir slows it down further with Icy Wind. Moonblast would actually have done more, but I'm sure the speed drop is to be useful to TSRD."

"Dragonite responds by Wrapping Gardevoir in its...embrace? Err...aren't its arms too short to wrap anything? Maybe the tail? Or maybe [CENSORED]?"

"Anyways, Action three is the same disastrous set of actions (for Maxim, that is). By this time the first two rows of the stadium are empty, since the spectators have anticipated the Evasive Agility Hyper Voice routine. By the way, it's over now, so if you guys can move out of the aisles, as the staff need to serve popcorn and soda."

"10 is an important number here. 10 is Dragonite's current health, and it is also how much damage Maxim has done to TSRD. Total. This entire match. He didn't even fall behind to do anything important like set up entry hazards like a certain battler I've reffed."

"This round is just as boring as the first, with the exact same move repeated, just different Pokemon. It's okay though, since most of the crowd members have already left, either due to boredom (understandable) or due to Maxim's choke."

"Turn one is extremely uneventful as both Pokemon erect defensive barriers, in the form of a Reflect from Gardevoir and Light Screen from Metagross."

"Sensing the golden opportunity to Encore the Light Screen, Gardevoir decides to...Protect? Huh? Well Metagross wasn't planning on attacking it anyways, instead setting up Stealth Rock. Turn three Gardevoir finally wisens up and Encores the Stealth Rock, while Metagross tries with futility to repeat it."

"Well this turned out quite well for TSRD, considering he was using a Gardevoir against a Metagross. Still, Maxim got Stealth Rock up basically for free, but with Encore in effect he is now practically forced to counterswitch TSRD's switch. Which he may have wanted to do anyways. I would say stay tuned but let's be honset even I'm tired of this battle."

Pretty much sums my experience with this battle.

Switching back to Dragonite

Aqua Jet + Waterfall combo x3
If Sucker Punch, then use Extremespeed + Extremespeed combo that action.
If Successful P/E move, then use Tailwind the first instance and Roost the second.
 
The pointed stones around the arena annoyed Haru but they also gave her an idea...

"Maxim thoughtlessly spams some priority combo, and TSRD, with Reflect up, figures he can take the combo."

"The combo in question is Aqua Jet+Waterfall. Which through Reflect does 15 damage to Colossoil. During Dragonite's cooldown, Colossoil uses Substitute (15). Wait did I read that right? Yup, he did indeed order a 15 HP substitute, rather than, say, 20 HP, which would have survived Dragonite's combo A3. Well, it's not like TSRD needed a further advantage. He did manage to Rebound rocks though."

"This looks really bad for Maxim. His Dragonite's on Cooldown and he's ordering second, which means that he won't have second order the round after next when Dragonite is dead. Oh and now he's got Rocks on his side."

Cue me forgetting something crucial again and dying horribly.
 
Deception had its part to play but Haru knew that sometimes you just had to attack directly.
Even as the Metagross charged across the arena at her, Haru began to shake the earth...

"Oh look, an actually decent round! The two combatants forgo any tricky tactics to slug it out in a damage race Metagross has the upper hand in. But it's not like anyone's actually paying attention to this battle, as can be seen by the three people sitting in the stands."

"Colossoil and Metagross begin by trading a Brick Break and Earthquake, and despite Colossoil's Expert Belt Earthquake still does less damage. His Crunch A2 is even less effective, as Metagross retaliates with Ice Punch. Turn three is the same as turn one, except Metagross gets a critical hit with Brick Break, putting him even more ahead in the damage race. It looks like it won't exactly matter here though."

"With Metagross on such low health, Maxim is essentially counting on Heavenbringer to take down two Pokemon by itself. And those two Pokemon are Mega Gardevoir and Volcanion. This is not going to be easy for him."

EDIT NOTE: I forgot Pressure when reffing so there were actually no speed ties. Order didn't matter this round so I didn't bother to edit that in.

TSRD orders.
Maxim orders.
