Description: Deep within the confines of Mount Coronet, there lies a place unlike any other. This circular area is a flat cavebed that is 100 meters in diameter. In the center lies a huge column of rock 20 meters in diameter extending from the floor to the ceiling about 60 meters up (basically, the place is huge). Running up the column is a ledge about 5 meters thick that curls around it (Sort of like the thread in a screw). Seismic disturbances constantly coat the area in a thick sandstorm that can't be canceled due to the ceiling. Sadly, there's no water source for moves like Surf and weather moves cannot be used but everything else goes.

Summary: Eternal Sandstorm, Indoor Arena, No External Water Source.
I'll accept this.

Minccino(*) (F)
Nature: Adamant (+1 Atk, -1 SpA)
Type: Normal
Normal: Normal STAB; adapt comfortably to any surrounding after 3 actions. Able to use Outrage without losing focus.

Abilities:
Cute Charm: (Innate) This Pokemon’s natural cuteness causes Pokemon of the opposite gender in the same egg group to be attracted to it 30% of the time after striking with a contact move.
Technician: (Innate) This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally have 6 or less Base Attack Power to have their Base Attack Power multiplied by 1.5. (e.g. Aerial Ace goes from 6 to 9, Mach Punch goes from 4 to 6, etc.) The Energy Cost for a one-hit or two-hit attack is increased by one (1). Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) Base Attack Power, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2). Because Technician is a multiplier on single hit moves, its effect is applied to Base Attack Power before any additive effects.
Skill Link (DW Locked): (Innate) This Pokemon’s skillfull aim makes its multi-hit moves always hit 5 times. The Energy Cost of multi-hit attacks is increased by three (3).

Gastly(*) (F)

Nature: Modest (+1 SpA, -1 Atk)
Type: Ghost/Poison
Ghost: Ghost STAB; brief intangibility that nullifies Normal and Fighting-type attacks. Can move through walls for a brief period of time but must remain in motion. Superior senses in low light and inside dark buildings. Have no vision reduction in hazes.
Poison: Poison STAB; immunity to Poison/Toxic, see and breath through smog/smokescreens/haze uninhibited. Able to use Wrap and Bind without losing focus. Superior senses in urban settings.

Abilities:
Levitate: (Innate) This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading the Ground moves Bulldoze, Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude. Earth Power will have three (3) less Base Attack Power. Dig and Dive can strike a Levitating Pokemon if their user is over Size Class 4, has Levitate, is 3.5m or larger, or is a Flying-type. Otherwise Dig and Dive will miss. Ground moves can still hit. Levitate Pokemon will retain the Levitate trait when they use Skill Swap on an enemy, and will steal the opponent's ability (the user can specify if they want a foe or ally to gain Levitate from a Skill Swap.) If a Pokemon with Levitate uses Role Play, they will copy the opponent's abilities and retain Levitate.

Ok, MB's mon and ability, devoninja's mon, ability and orders, MB's orders.
 

"Well, the choice is easy to make here. Go Metal Salamence the Bagon! May I use Sheer Force? No? Ok then Rock Head it is."
 
Let's go Minccino, you skillful Technician. Show em what you've got.

Double Team (4 Clones) -> Substitute 15 -> Tail Slap
 

"O, you posted."

OK, time for some serious RP actions.

First up Metal Salamence, we need to get rid of those clones! Use Dragon Claw on the ledge of the column to hit all of the clones! After that hopefully successful display we'll won't back off. Full on offensive movement for us! Your Super-Effective Brick Break is bound crush that Sub! Finally lets troll and Use Protect. Hey look at us, we're protect trolling.

Summary:
Dragon Claw (on the ledge of the rock column so there is a landslide destorying all of minnico's clones and doing damage) ~ Brick Break ~ Protect
 
I'd like to say that it doesn't seem likely to me that a .6 meter tall Bagon would be able to do appreciable damage to a stone ledge "5 meters thick" much less knock enough of it loose to cause a landslide which has greater spread than the move Rock Slide.

I was hesitant to post this Objection but was encouraged to on #capasb, so I hope this doesn't come off as rude and of course ref discretion is king. I'd just hate to see my plan to exploit his lack of multi target moves go totally to waste to a Dragon Claw.
 
I'll be reffing this in the morning, but I can see the Dragon Claw at least creating sparks. Whether these would be enough to destroy the clones, I'm not sure, and will work that out in the morning.
 
Deck used the power of scientific knowledge and logic to do that, and it's a good idea to cure a burn like that IRL, I think. You're just trying to do something physically impossible. Editing with reffing after breakfast.

Also, I'm now reffing Double Team the way it should be as stated in the DAT, as an evasion modifier, not just creating clones. Thus, 4 clones = +4 evade = move accuracy x 3/7. Any objections, just say.

HP: 90

Stats: 0
Status: Fine

Mincinno starts this match in style, creating many illusory copies in order to fool Metal Salamence. He tries to break the rock column with his Dragon Claw, but it only creates sparks - not enough to destroy the clones which survive through sandstorm! As Mincinno creates ANOTHER clone of itself, this time a cardboard cutout to absorb damage, Metal Salamence attempts a Brick Break, but to no avail, he misses the real thing entirely. However, he successfully protects himself when Mincinno goes on the offensive, that damage would have been NASTY from a 5-hit technician STAB Tail Slap!

Calcs:
Mincinno used Double Team x4 (16 energy, +4 evasion)
Bagon used Dragon Claw on the Rock Column (5 energy)

Normal types "adapt comfortably to any surrounding after 3 actions". I have no idea what that means but I kind of thought that it would mean they would stop getting the ill effects of weather. I'm not sure if there is some concrete definition of adapting or what.

Let's just fight it out.

Tail Slap -> DoubleSlap -> Tail Slap
 

"Don't push your luck."

Protect ~ Dragon Claw ~ Protect
SUB: If Tail Slap misses at any time replace protect with a dragon pulse.
 
Ok, I'm going to have to ask you both to find a subref - I've come down with the flu and I don't have the energy or concentration to ref. I apologise.

Bagon protected himself as Mincinno swung her tail around. Then, he retaliated with a Dragon Claw, and she missed while trying to slap him. He protected himself from another tail slap, leaving him with more HP.

Alright, he's running low on energy so he has to let up a bit. We don't. Let's show him our stuff.

Tail Slap -> DoubleSlap -> TailSlap
 
Fire Blast, you're a noob. SoS IS BACK BITCHES. But this might be slow due to uni work. Don't like it? Nothing I can do, my degree gets priority. By the way. Literally about to choke a puppy, so don't be surprised if I fuck up.

Also, Fire Blast forgot Sandstorm last round, so both of you lose 6 HP. FUCK'S SAKE BLAST.
