:dp/Dratini:

Tini [♀] Dratini [Stage: 1]
Type:
Dragon

[Abilities]
Shed Skin
This Pokemon regularly sheds its skin and any impurities contained in its body. If afflicted with a status condition, this Pokemon has a 33% chance of removing all status conditions at the end of a round.

Marvel Scale [HA locked]
This Pokemon's coat shimmers when afflicted with a status condition, reducing the Base Attack Power of incoming physical attacks by three (3).

Tini is a shy, sweet Pokemon that prefers not to fight, often serving as a mediator and generally taking a back seat in fights. However, do not let this demeanor fool you, as her skills are incredible when she uses them.

:dp/Ralts:

Rara [♀] Ralts [Stage: 1]
Type:
Psychic / Fairy

[Abilities]
Synchronise
Pokemon with this ability mentally link their condition to an opposing Pokemon and when inflicted by the major status ailments Burn, Poison, or Paralysis, will share their status condition with the opponent. Pokemon will not be inflicted by status conditions to which they are immune by virtue of typing, ability, etc.

Trace
When entering into battle, this Pokemon can copy an ability on one of its opponents for 6 EN. This effect only triggers if the ability to be copied is specified when the Pokemon is sent out. When facing a pokemon with Trace, the Player sending out last must send out the pokemon without orders, in order to give the opponent the opportunity to trigger trace and any orders eventually given will be ignored until given the opportunity for trace to be triggered. The ability remains on the Pokemon for six (6) actions

Telepathy [HA locked]
This Pokemon 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.

Originally rather quiet (I was going to say, quite quiet, but I rather avoid the reference), Rara has learnt over the course of my travels to be a bit more outspoken. Her incredible skills (which includes, but is not limited to, limited mind reading, detecting the presence of Pokemon, and long-range telephathy with Pokemon and humans alike) makes her a valuable member, as well as a good head for battles!

:dp/Riolu:

Lulu [♂] Riolu [Stage: 1]
Type:
Fighting

[Abilities]
Steadfast
If this Pokemon is flinched, it becomes aware of the speed difference and increases its Speed (adjusting the natural stage) by one (1) stage to make up the difference.

Inner Focus
This Pokemon has unshakable mental composure. It is immune to Intimidate. Also, Flinching does not prevent it from acting, but if it has another ability that would be activated by flinching, that ability still activates.

Prankster [HA locked]
The Pokemon is always prepared for engaging in sneaky tactics and trickery, giving its non-damaging attacks a +1 increase in priority level. Dark-types are immune to all non-damaging attacks (as well as all moves summoned by a non-damaging move) used by a Pokémon with this ability.

Lulu was a hotheaded Pokemon from the moment he hatched, immediately challenging Rara to a battle (and also leaving Tini appalled by his bloodthirstiness). However, with so little experience, it was no wonder he lost to her. After traveling with me for so long, he has changed drastically, becoming less hotheaded and thinking more, his battling skills have improved and he is more willing to learn. He still fights Rara at every opportunity, hoping to increase his prowess!

Hello everyone, it's your ref cbrevan, back to the forefront after a lengthy vacation. Today we have some new battlers, ready to duke it out with their prized starter Pokemon. From the look of matchups, かたわれ時 has the definite advantage, if only because Tyrogue's movepools has next to nothing going for it! Poor matchups can be played around, but you need moves to do that in the first place!

Moving on, let's decide who's going first!

1-1200=DefRevenge, 1201-2400=かたわれ時
Roll: 1378 [かたわれ時]

かたわれ時 it is! Good luck to both battlers!

Unrelated note: かたわれ時, is there a name in english I could refer to you as? Copy pasting is fun and all, but not if I have to do it a half dozen times everytime I ref a round.

Mac starts our match off with a quick palm strike to Tini's forehead, forcing the Dratini to flinch! Tini makes like a snake and starts to coil around Mac in a hold reminescent of a boa constrictor, while Mac focuses his sight to see the Dratini coiling around his neck. Tini then slams her tail into Mac with enough force to knock him to the ground, only for Mac to get onto his feet for a full body Tackle!

Hey, DefRevenge24601 you can only do substitutes if you’re the person ordering first. Since you know what you and the opponent is going to do, you don’t need to have substitutes :)
Also, cbrevan could you check if my substitute is legal? Thanks!
Well that explains some things. This is absolutely false, you can obviously use subs ordering second. It a bit different because you can't cause sub loops, but nothing prevents you from writing Chance clauses, like "IF you are burned A2 THEN" in response to an opponent using Heat Wave for example.
HOWEVER, DR's sub is invalid because that trigger clause is invalid. Can't link stuff because mobile but it's at the end of the Handbook, so check it out.
I also invite both of you on our Discord, since it's much easier asking questions there.
Finally, Dratini's sub is technically legal but can easily be abused. I'll leave it up to you to figure out how...

Well, that happened. Hax strikes as Hodaka completely whiffs three attacks in a row in an unfortunate display of luck. All isn't lost for them though, as DefRevenge's inexperienced ordering completely squanders whatever advantage RNG tried to give them, resulting in Gastly dealing a total of 5 damage to Dratini while dealing 30 damage to itself. If Dratini's rotten luck continues, DefRevenge may be able to salvage the situation, but only time will tell if they're given the oppurtunity when ordering first.

Turns out I made a reffing error last round by not rolling for Shed Skin A2 and A3 of last round. I'm going to treat the match as if it didn't trigger since none of us caught the mistake and I've already completed the reffing for this round. The mistake did impact A1 of this round, as Hodaka may have gotten the attack of if the confusion status was cured. I'll try to be more careful with this in the future.​

Another slow round for everyone involved. Both battlers made some mistakes that lead to ineffective ordering, but DefRevenge's Curse allows them to widen the lead in an otherwise damageless round.

Just some stuff I'd like to point out related to mechanics, Sleep is cured when there are 0 Sleep counters at the start of the afflicted Pokemon's turn. This information was tracked and noted in my reffing, meaning both battlers knew exactly when sleep would end. Furthermore, Nightmare fails on a target that is already under it's affect, so it would be impossible for Gastly to extend Dratini's sleep any further. This means that both battler's substitutions were not needed because both battlers should have known that Dratini would always wake up on the first action.

Hodaka's substitution backfired because it forced Dratini to waste an action using Thunder Wave a second time. DefRevenge's substitution resulted in a wasted action as Disable must target a move to work (for example, Disable [Dragon Tail]).​

Hodaka comes back from an unfavorable position by dealing damage for the first time in three rounds! This is unfortunate for DefRevenge, as they could have killed Dratini by landing any attack whatsoever. If they really wanted, they could have just ordered Shadow Ball three times, saved the energy burnt on the combo, killed Dratini, and kept Gastly alived. Sometimes (most of the times) being proactive with your damage is the best way to win a damage race.

I'll also point out that the accuracy for a same move combo is determined by muliplying the moves accuracy against itself, meaning the Hypnosis+Hypnosis combo had an accuracy of 36%. That's approaching OHKO move territory of unreliability. Hypnosis outside of combo would have been more reliable while allowing Gastly to prevent at least one action of damage. The combo also had a chance of whiffing entirely even if it hit as Dratini's Shed Skin could have cured it before it spent a turn asleep.
