Personally, I think counter-teaming is ok if the opponent's mon has double the moves yours does and has rank 8 SpA.

Seems Legit.


Anyways, SubwayJ, equip your item.
Then waterwarrior item and orders.
Then Subway orders
And you guys know how it goes from here.

 

[Gemini Taurus]

GASP! HOW'D YOU KNOW!!!
And I agree, I'm pretty sure counterteaming is okay.

Take a DeepSeaTooth Bejeweled! Everyone will now hate you!

 

[waterwarrior]

It's times like these where you sit down and say... I need an Electirizer for this guy. Too bad all my CC is going to Ice Spire prep. So take an Expert Belt instead!

Light Screen -> Thunder -> Thunderbolt
If Bejewled has Double Team clones when you would attack, Discharge and push back
If Toxic, Protect and push back, but not consecutively

So little, yet so much to sub for, and with my movepool having fuck-all to get around it...

And so here we are in the ASB arena once more for a showdown between two very different Pokemon. On one side is a Clamperl. But not just any Clamperl, a ridiculously well trained Clamperl. And on the other side is a comparitively newbie Electabuzz. Will the type advantage be enough to overcome the overwhelming power of Clamperl? Lets find out.

Electabuzz starts off the battle defensively by putting up a light screen. But as it sets up to protect itself, Clamperl is setting up to destroy its opponent, by Smashing its Shell and making itself ridiculously powerful. But even with its new speed, the lightning fast electric type still goes first and calls down a massive bolt of Thunder from the sky... which hits the ground a few feet away from Clamperl. Having avoided this powerful strike, Clamperl dives underwater, only to surface in Electabuzz's face for some nice damage. But its not enough to deter its opponent, who connects with its electricity this time for massive damage. The little shelfish, in pain from the shock decides to end the round by shooting up some mud to weaken future assaults.


It looks like Electabuzz has the early lead in damage and energy, but with Clamperl now completely set up, will Electabuzz be able to hang on?

Calcs

Action 1:
Electabuzz - Light Screen (8 Energy)
Clamperl - Shell Smash (20 Energy)

Action 2:
Electabuzz - Thunder - Miss! (7 Energy)
Clamperl dives under water
Clamperl - Dive - 8+3+(3-2)*1.5+(2-0)*1.75 = 16 Damage (10 Energy)

Action 3: Clamperl - Mud Sport (5 Energy)Electabuzz - Thunderbolt - (10+2+3+(4-1)*1.5)*1.5+(0+1)*1.75 = 31 -> 15.5 Damage (6 Energy)

SubwayJ is up!

32*3.5=112
112>105
I'm pretty sure I outspeed now (assumong my math is correct)
I'll refrain from posting until this is resolved

 

[jas61292]

Woah, wait a sec, where is that 3.5 coming from?
32 is the base speed, and shell smash gives a +2, or x2.
So where are the other 3 stages that I am missing?

 

[waterwarrior]

Shell Smash: The Pokemon breaks its shell in half, greatly increasing its mobility and offensive ability at the cost of its defenses. This enables it to move more freely, raising its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed by two (2) stages each.

+2 +3.50 350
+1 +1.75 175
+0 +0.00 100

So unfortunately for me, Subway is right, and his Speed is multiplied by 3.5x, allowing him to outspeed Electabuzz.

 

[jas61292]

Oh wow. That....seems kinda stupidly high of a boost to me, but the rule is the rule. Fixing

EDIT: Done.

 

[Gemini Taurus]

Dive-Scald-Surf

If quick attack is used A1, use Surf and push actions back
If protective/evasive action is used, use Barrier that action and push actions back

 

[waterwarrior]

Fucking Mud Sport, ruining an actually pretty good chance of winning... And me not having Roar either so I can't just get rid of it... Grumble grumble bitch moan moan...

Psychic + Psychic -> cooldown (Psychic) -> Earthquake
If burned, change A3 to Thunder

All set up and ready to go, Clamperl Dives underwater again. But this time, Electabuzz is ready for it, and while a solid hit is landed, as soon as Clamperl finishes its move, it finds itself being thrown around the arena by the psychokinetic power of Electabuzz, doing some hefty damage to the shelfish. But, Electabuzz tired itself out with that move, and is unable to do anything by watch as Clamper shoots out a jet of hot water at it with such immense force that it outdamages its last move, despite the Light Screen dampening its power. And not giving the electric type any room to breath, that attack is followed by an even strong one, as Clamperl swamps the arena with a might Surf. But Electabuzz will not throw in the towel quite yet, and does some arena destroying of its own as the ground cracks open below it with a mighty Earthquake. But, while it did a number on the field, Clamperl is still raring to go. And with the Light Screen disapating before it, Electabuzz finds itself backed into a corner out of which there may be no escape.

Clamperl - Scald - 4+3+(5-2)*1.5+3+(2-0)*1.75 = 18 Damage (5 Energy)
Electabuzz - Cooldown


Action 3:
Clamperl - Surf - 5+3+(5-2)*1.5+3+(2-0)*1.75 = 19 Damage (6 Energy)
Electabuzz - Earthquake - 10+(3-3)*1.5+(0+1)*1.75 = 11.75 Damage (7 Energy)

GG Subway, and yay for that damn Clamperl being nearly broken! :D

EDIT: I never said it was broken. I said it was nearly broken. There's a distinction.

 

[Gemini Taurus]

GG to you too! And Clamperl is NOT broken!
