Maxim v Rickheg in a 2v2 Dubs

[Stratos]

Ah, the iconic 2v2 dubs, the training battle to end all training battles. Let's look at the rules shall we?

rules

2v2 Middle Mons Doubles
1 Day DQ
2 Substitutions
5 Chills/2 Recoveries
Restrictions: All NFE's get the effect of a boosted Eviolite (*1.5 Def and SpA) without holding one.

This stadium is like the tournament arena. However, there is a break in the bleachers, where there is a large, enclosed white room with a door for employee access. Inside, scientists have built a machine that emits special invisible light rays, that weaker Pokemon (NFE's) absorb in their bone marrow (or something in their body if they have no bones). This increases thier body's stability, in effect giving a boosted Eviolite effect (boosting Def. and SpD by *1.5). This allows NFE Pokemon to be competitive with FE Pokemon.
Items = eviolite
since nobody specified abilities, I choose Abilities = ON

okay rickheg fuck you for making this battle take even longer

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!

 

[rickheg]

Alright, Maxim laid down the challenge, so I get stuck ordering first. No matter. We shall triumph! Divide and conquer, that's how we win. Divide and conquer.

Surt, start by using Will-O-Wisp on Bahamut, then follow up with Rock Slide and finish with a Leech Seed on Bahamut. If he successfully Protects A1 or A3, redirect to Zant.

Dust, start with Ice Beam on Bahamut, then hit him some more with Dragon Pulse and another Ice Beam. IF Bahamut is successfully using Protect, change that action to Mud-Slap on Zant.

 

[Maxim]

Alright guys, we're not going to let this guy stop us. We have our own strategy, and I intend to fulfill it.

Zant, you start off with a nice Light Screen to buffer those special attacks. After that, Thunder Wave that Flarelm to hopefully prevent that leech seed. Finally, Ice Punch the Duclohm.

As for you Bahamut, lets start with a Dragon Claw on that Duclohm. After you're burned, drop a Draco Meteor on Duclohm to punish him. Finally, try Protecting and hope the Leech Seed isn't successful.

Zant (Electabuzz): Light Screen~Thunder Wave (Flarelm)~Ice Punch (Duclohm)
If Will-o-Wisp Misses, change A2 to Low Kick (Duclohm)

Bahamut (Shelgon): Dragon Claw (Duclohm)~Draco Meteor (Duclohm)~Protect
If Will-o-Wisp misses, change A2 to Outrage

it looks like maxim has a big deficit! can he recoup?
​

 

[Maxim]

Obviously I'm winning, I don't know what you are talking about. :P

Zant: Ice Punch (Duclohm)~Low Kick (Duclohm)~Ice Punch (Duclohm)
If Duclohm uses Protect, then use Thunderbolt (Flarelm) that action
If Duclohm's HP reaches 1 exactly, then use Thunderbolt (Flarelm) for the remainder of your actions.

Bahamut: Dragon Pulse (Duclohm)~Dragon Claw (Duclohm)~Dragon Pulse (Duclohm)
If Duclohm uses Protect, redirect your current action to Flarelm
If Duclohm's HP reaches 1 exactly, redirect your remaining actions to Flarelm

KO Sub for both pokemon: If Duclohm faints, redirect remaining actions to Flarelm

 

[rickheg]

There's a difference in total HP by 3, hardly a winning side yet. Although I'm certain I'll be trailing by the end of this round. Also, I assume Shelgon has -2 SpA, not SpD, right?

Surt, use Will-O-Wisp on Zant, then Return on Zant and finish up with Blaze Kick on Zant.

Dust, use Slack Off, then use Mud Slap on Zant twice.

js: if hp reaches one is not a legit sub i don't think

forgot light screen on mud slap; fix'd

[rickheg]

Alright, this is going better than I expected. It's still too close to call, but we have a small lead that I think we can capitalize on.

Surt, use Return > Blaze Kick > Return on Zant
IF Zant Counters, replace with Earth Power
IF Zant is KO'ed, redirect remaining actions to Bahamut

Dust, use Dragon Pulse > Hurricane > Draco Meteor all on Zant
IF Zant Protects, redirect to Bahamut
IF Zant is KO'ed, redirect to Bahamut

 

[Maxim]

Um...

Zant: Low Kick~Ice Punch~Low Kick all on Duchlohm.
If Duchlohm faints, redirect towards Flarelm

Bahamut: Dragon Pulse~Dragon Claw~Dragon Pulse on Duchlohm
If Duchlohm faints, redirect to Flarelm.
