Alright-let's ref.
I will ref the following challenge-requesting two battlers. The first describes switch and ability status, the second describes item status.
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Ah, Milliway's, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. A fantastic place, where you can buy anything to eat you want, at any price thanks to the magic of millions of years of interest and the amazing powers of Bistromathics. As you enjoy whatever three-course-meal floats your boat, you notice a rival a few tables across. The end of the universe spectacle isn't going to be for another hour, so why not enjoy a small Pokemon fight?
Of course, it seems you've committed the ultimate blunder in the Restaurant-you've managed to meet yourself, both a past copy and a future copy. You remember your embarrassment at seeing your other two selves for the first time. And now you're back, this time as your current copy. You can feel the raw embarrassment radiating from your future copy, who has just arrived a third time at the same general area.
Your rival appears to be in the exact same predicament-his future and past selves have arrived at the same general area as well.
There's a Pokemon arena conveniently unused in this copy of the universe, a ref named Victor is conveniently waiting nearby...and you can distinctly remember having a Pokemon battle there with your rival when you were younger. Your future self seems to have long anticipated this. It seems that Victor has decided to offer you all a challenge, with your selves on one side and your rival's selves on the other...
"9v9" Triples, technically 3v3 Triples with three iterations of each mon.
3 days DQ
12 chills per Pokemon, 4 recoveries per Pokemon (and by Pokemon I mean all three copies of that Pokemon.)
Arena: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
A futuristic restaurant with plenty of neo-neon and exotic plastic plants. There's a round dirt arena of about 50 feet diameter to fight in, with several fountains around the arena to call on for a water source. The scents of the cuisines of 42 million cultures permeate the air. All moves permitted.
The twist of this fight is that a past version and a future version of yourself have also joined in the fight.
-Your past self uses the version of each mon you enter when it first got approved, with the nature/Hidden Power (if it had one) it had at the time. Use the search function if you can't find it. If you can't find your starters' starting nature/hidden power...use your first battle as a reference.
-Your present self will send out the current version of your mon, with its current nature/Hidden Power.
-Your future self will send out a version of your Pokemon that is at maximum evolution, with all moves and Dream World ability unlocked. It can have a different nature/Hidden Power than your current mons.
Due to a quirk in spacetime, nobody knows who is going to win or lose this match, despite having participated in it already. Time travel is a dick. For the purposes of damage, each Pokemon counts as a separate entity, and any combination of past, present, and future Pokemon can be used at any one time.
All participating mons get three times the usual counters, and KO counters go the the present version of the mon. Think 1v1 Doubles. That should be a good incentive to join.
PM the ref:
-The past copy of each mon from the prize claiming thread (or, if it's a starter, from your profile's starred moves and original nature/hidden power).
-The current version from your profile.
-The future version. For the future version, link to Veekun under moves and list its Hidden Power beneath the link. (For CAPs, link to the OP of the Data Audit thread.)
Smeargle can Sketch ANY moves utilized and has access to EVERY move in the future state, but can only take permanent Sketch slots from moves it has traced from past or present pokemon only. Past Smeargle only gets its starting Sketch moves and cannot permanently Sketch moves gained here.
If Items are turned on, the past iteration of your trainer is limited to (2) each of the following: Oran, Leppa, Cheri, Chesto, Pecha, Rawst, and Aspear berries. Your present version can use any items in his possession, and your future version can use any items he wants.
Starting evolution is also banned, as making the rules any longer than they already are would cause brain implosions.
