Gimme, I'll ref.
After my battle with Kaxtar ended prematurely, I need to train some of my pokemon some more. Combine with some funky new arena ideas I came up with and suddenly you have a ...
3v3 singles
2 day DQ for players, 3 day DQ for ref
Unlimited recoveries and unlimited chills
EDIT: I will be using fully evolved mons.
Arena: The acceptor can choose from one of these.
The arena is set in an underground mine (so weather, SolarBeam, Thunder, Moonlight and Morning Sun are unusable). There is no external water source and, due to the nature of this battle, seismic moves (including Earth Power), digging and flying aren't allowed.
Throughout this battle, the two pokemon will be riding in mine carts on adjacent tracks that twist and turn through a large part of the mine. Thus, pokemon are forced to remain at close range. Once per round, a pokemon may use the Ram command. This costs 5 energy, does a flat 10 damage and has a 50% chance of flinching the opponent (if the opponent is faster, it's a next action flinch like Sky Attack).
The arena is set in a canyon. Non-grass-types cannot use Grass Knot and there is a limit on the external water source (as explained below) but all other moves are legal and unrestricted.
Throughout the battle, Flavio the Thermal Fish will rest in his pool of water. At the end of each action, he will blow hot bubbles on all the pokemon in the arena. This counts as a special multi-hit water-type attack with 2 BP per hit and Flavio's special attack is rank 4. Flavio's attack also has a (5*number of hits)% chance to burn the target.
If Flavio is attacked at all during a round, however, he will not blow bubbles on the battling pokemon for the rest of the round after he is hit, and at the end of the round he'll dive into his pool of water. He will then come up again at the end of the following round and normal service will be resumed. However, while Flavio is underwater, his pool may be used as an external water source for moves like Surf. While Flavio is surfaced, his huge body prevents any pokemon from using his pool of water for anything.
While Flavio is underwater, ice-type attacks can be directed at the pool of water. The pool takes ice damage equal to the base power of the ice-type attack with no modifiers. Once the pool takes a total of 30 ice damage, it freezes over, making the pool unusable as an external water source and preventing Flavio from interfering for the rest of the battle.
This arena is set inside a stone tower (so weather, SolarBeam, Thunder, Moonlight and Morning Sun are unusable). Digging and seismic moves are not allowed. There is also no external water source.
The tower is full of green goo and there are platforms along the edges. Here's a diagram for you:
![]()
When a pokemon is released, the trainer must specify which platform it starts out on. Also, pokemon may use the command Move to platform X. Which platforms the pokemon can access depends on which platform the pokemon is on and their current speed. The distance they may travel in terms of number of platforms is speed/75, rounded up to the nearest whole number, max 4. So, for example, if Blaziken is on platform 5, it can travel to any platform between 3 and 7, whereas Steelix on platform 5 can only travel to platform 4 or 6. This command costs 3 energy per platform traversed (so the Blaziken would pay 6 energy to travel from platform 5 to platform 3). This command is not subject to the consecutive energy penalty and cannot be encored or disabled but Taunt will work against it. Finally, contact attacks cannot be used unless the user and the target are on the same platform.
At the end of the round, one platform will go into the wall (randomly chosen, all with equal chance but never the same platform on two consecutive rounds). Any pokemon on that platform will fall into the goo below (including flying and levitating pokemon). If a pokemon falls in like this, it takes 20 damage and its first action must be Get up onto platform X (all platforms are reachable in this scenario except the one that disappeared). This command costs 10 energy, is not subject to consecutive energy penalty and cannot be encored or disabled. Falling into the goo cures a pokemon of sleep, freeze and taunt, but if it is fully paralysed when it tries to get out of the goo, it takes another 20 damage and it must try again.
Once a platform has gone into the wall, it stays there for one round and emerges at the end of the round (at the same time as another platform going into the wall). Pokemon cannot move across a hidden platform unless they can fly or levitate (so Blaziken can't travel from platform 5 to platform 3 if platform 4 is hidden) and obviously they can't stop on a platform that's not there.
If the acceptor doesn't have any preferences, the ref can decide. If the ref also doesn't have any preferences, we'll go with the mine cart ride.
Need a subref for this: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3671461#post3671461
Now it has the type of battle listed.
I'll take you on.Beginner Battle
2v2 Singles
DQ: 2 days
2 recovers/0 chills
Arena: The Beach
An open expanse of sand bordering a clear sea. There is nothing in sight for miles in the water or sand, however Airplanes constantly fly over, and create lots of noise.
Ssorry Jesseus (Although you could ref the oter 1v1)
RD had an interesting idea for a battle, so i'm going to try it out.
2v2 Triples! (I've done 1v1 Doubles, we can pull this off :p)
36 hour DQ
2 Recovers/5 Chills
Battle Subway: The Battle Subway, no resstrictions. However, the third pokemon you battle with in this battle, is a RNGed pokemon from the list of pokemon that you can battle between Battles 1 and 8 in the ASB Battle Subway! Every round, a new pokemon is given as a third, and they cannot be targeted. However, they can battle as normal. Due to the nature of this battle, it must be Items = On and One Ability. I apoligize for not giving the acceptor anything to decide.
I would like for a Battle subway ref to ref this, js.
Objection, a childhood of Donkey Kong Country says Mine Carts ahoy!
All Abilities
No Items
Switch = OK
Though would it be possible to lower the DQ times? 3v3 singles is a long enough format to begin with...
Yeah I'll take over for you guys.Originally Posted by Fat ToastTyrant13
Looking for a Sub-Ref for this battle. There hasn't been any reffing for 4 days, and I've messaged him a few times as a heads up. Thanks so much to anyone who can take this.
Alright, issuing a specific training battle challenge to a friend of mine, Kaome!
Beginner Battle
(Only unevolved Pokemon, etc.)
Training Battle
(This battle acts as if it never happened; it will not go on the profile or W/L/T of either player)
Format: 3v3 Singles
DQ: 2 days
Limits: ∞ Recovers / ∞ Chills
Arena: Ageless Sanctum
This sanctuary is a paradox of reality trapped away in a pocket universe, much like the reverse world. This sanctum only benefits one person, however, and that's its owner: Rising_Dusk. Within this sanctuary, Rising_Dusk's Pokemon will never faint, but will instead revive immediately when KOed to continue facing whatever unlucky opponent he faces! Fortunately for his opponent, said opponent is a close friend, so Rising_Dusk has chosen to be a sporting fellow. He will use one Pokemon that revives three times as his Pokemon of choice, while his opponent can choose exactly three of his own Pokemon to face Rising_Dusk's. He considers this good training for both parties involved.
Summary:
- Rising_Dusk sends the ref only 1 Pokemon.
- Rising_Dusk's Pokemon revives when it is KOed and counts as his first, second, and third Pokemon in this 3v3 singles. (This results in the Pokemon being in battle 3 times and earning counters that way)
- Kaome sends the ref 3 Pokemon that are played as normal.
- No other arena effects.
So I have a pokemon I want to train, but it is hard, as it is a single stage Pokemon, but it is as bad as a 1st stage Pokemon right now, so if someone is willing to do a battle that does not require LC eligible Pokemon, but is still done with weakmons, that would be awesome. Basically, anyone LC eligable is OK, and use you best discretion with non LC eligible Pokemon to try to keep it a weakmon battle (aka, Delibird or Spinda would be fine, Heracross or Revenankh would not).
lets make it:
3v3 Singles
2 Day DQ
2 Recovers/4 Chills
Arena: Mahogany City Gym (as seen in the Episode Nice Pryce, Baby!)
![]()
Basically it is an ice field with some frozen blocks of ice, and a pool of water in the middle. The ice does not prevent a Pokemon from starting normal movement, but makes it harder to stop. The frozen ground makes it impossible to dig, and the fact that it is indoors makes weather moves useless. Otherwise, it is just a normal arena.
Another open slot, so open challenge!
2v2 Doubles!
1 day dq, 2 day ref deq
0 recoveries/5 chills
Arena: challenger can choose, of if they don't want to, then ref can choose
Oh, and no FE pokemon please! NFE only
Looking for another battle.
1 v 1 Singles
1 day DQ/2 Ref
2 Recoveries/5 Chill
Arena: Challenger's choice
NFE please.
Still need a ref for this.Accepting.
No items; Switch = heh switching in 1v1 (aka no)
This should make for some interesting flavor text.![]()
That's right, it's Air Force One. No Earthquakes, and no Hurricanes. However let's say there is a pool inside, so Surf is fine. Just not advisable.
Erm, the battle can take place inside a fireproof room so Fire-type attacks are OK.
However, no attacks are allowed with the words "Bullet" or "Bomb" and no Explosion or Selfdestruct (no this is not a jab at Muslim terrorists at all).
I think that covers it.
So, I still have this one open, and since I have 2 open slots, I will also issue an open challenge for fully evolved Pokemon
4v4 Doubles
2 Day DQ
2 Recovers/5 Chills
Arena: A Basic Pokemon Stadium. A flat rectangle field with the Pokeball shaped marking on the ground in the center. There is no water, so surf won't work, but but pretty much everything else is fair game.
Very well, I accept.
Switch Status: OK
Items: No Items
Abilities: All
As I only have the three mons, I'm sure you can guess who's coming.
