Data Battle Tower (For all your Match-Seeking Needs!)

[Texas Cloverleaf]

issuing a challenge. a very challenging challenge involving challenges. beware!

3vs3 triples (nfe)
3 day battler DQ/ 5 day Ref DQ
no recoveries/ 3 chills
arena: Algorstorm

Hide

Field Type- Ice
Complexity- Intense
Format- All


Restrictions and important notes:
Algorstorms can be generated by using hail
Algorstorms last three rounds
A-storms deal 4HP to all non ice types, give 30% freeze chance to ice attacks with freeze chance and 10% freeze chance to ice types originally without a freeze chance, and can the attack sheer cold
in an a-storm sheer cold becomes a 15BP ice move with 60 accuracy and a 75% chance to freeze foe completely
at the end of round one all non ice pokemon contract weak hypothermia
at the end of round three all non ice pokemon, non fire pokemon, and pokemon without thick fat contract moderate Hypothermia
at the end of round five all non ice/fire/thick fat pokemon contract extreme hypothermia
non ice pokemon use three more energy to dig
if non ice/fire/thick fat pokemon touch the water or make contact with the water, they go up one grade of hypothermia and ice attacks gain 5% more freeze chance when directed towards them

Algorstorm: A harsh and extreme enviroment, Algorstorm is a chilly paradise to ice types and a frozen hell for others. This arena resembles the taiga of Siberian Russia, and the area available to battle on is 1500 feet wide and long, circular shaped. for a description of the terrain, imagine the arena is a bullseye. the white outer ring consists of mountains, all snowy and treacherous (ring is 200 feet thick). the white and blue rings are merged together and form a large forest (300 feet thick). the forest's trees are tall and skinny, due to the massive snow storms packing the needles together. the forest is a large clump of frozen life. The red ring of the bullseye is plains, thick with snow (400 feet thick). in the center of the arena area lies a huge frozen lake (400 feet long and 200 feet wide). the water is 30 degrees, but surprisingly it isnt all ice. you dont want to touch the water though, unless you're part ice or have some thick fat. The area's temperature never reaches above -20 degrees fahrenheit, and it is always either snowing, hailing, blizzarding, or even worse, Algorstorming. named after the area in which it resides, Algorstorms are blizzards bigger and meaner old brothers. if one whips up, beware! it will release destructive hail, worse than regular, so non ice types will lose 4HP per action. The sub zero power of the storm, as well as the arena, boosts ice moves, so their ability to freeze is increased! (ice moves that give a chance to freeze now have a 30% freeze chance. ice moves that do not give a chance to freeze now have a 10% freeze chance. also ice move combonations have a 100% chance to freeze target.) and if that weren't enough, the trump move of all ice types changes drastically! Sheer cold gets more accuracy and will almost surely freeze you! (though it powers down oddly enough).

so, think you can handle algorstorms? sadly, the area does not produce these wonders naturally anymore. you'll have to trigger one yourself! if a pokemon uses the move hail, their icy powers to react with the already stormy ice weather can create, can you guess, an algorstorm! algorstorms last 3 round.

as if the storms weren't enough, another factor plays into this arena drastically. Due to the hellish climate of the area (remember, -20 fahrenheit!), your pokemon may succumb to Hypothermia. now, ice pokemon will never be affected by hypothermia, and fire types (and pokemon with the ability thick fat in play) can only contract weak hypothermia. but everyone else, beware! there are three stages of Hypothermia:

Weak Hypothermia: The battler loses 10 base speed (e.g a pokemon with originally 80 speed gets weak hypothermia and now has 70 speed)

Moderate Hypothermia: battler loses 20 base speed (e.g pokemon with 80 now has 60 base) and loses 1BP to all non ice attacks

Extreme Hypothermia: Battler loses 30 base speed (e.g pokemon with 80 speed now has 50 base speed), loses 2BP to all non ice attacks, and loses 2HP per action

Ways you contract Hypothermia:

1) battling in the Algorstorm arena: the climate and weather is too harsh! Hypothermia is always prone here! At the end of round one all non ice pokemon get weak hypothermia. after round three it goes up to moderate hypothermia (fire types and thick fat users do not get moderate or extreme). at the end of round five a pokemon with moderate hypothermia now has extreme hypothermia.

2) getting hit by ice moves: if a pokemon has weak hypothermia and loses 25 or more HP from ice attacks, they will get Moderate Hypothermia. if a pokemon has Moderate hypothermia and loses 45 or more HP form ice attacks, they will get extreme Hypothermia.

Other things to be wary of:

Due to the frozen ground, only ice types can use dig with ease. dig used by non ice types cost 3 more ener.

If a pokemon comes in contact with the water in the center of the arena and is not ice type or have thick fat, they get weak hypothermia (or hypothermia boosts up a grade if already present), and ice attacks against them will have a 5% more chance of freezing.

The weather cannot be changed, unless to induce a algorstorm. at the beginning of the match there is a 30% for snow, 30% for hail, 40% chance for blizzarding.

Mine! Now we need a ref.

For the refs benefit, the team i will use. (Go away Glacier)

[Orcinus Duo]

Right, I'm currently not in any battles.
Let's change that.
Issuing two open challenges!

Challenge Number One:
1v1 Singles!
NFE
2 Day DQ
0 Recoveries, 5 Chills.
Arena: Underwater.

The Underwater Arena

The entire field is submerged with water, about a 30 x 30 x 30 foot cube of water. Only water pokemon can be in this battle (you need to breathe underwater), so don't accept this battle if you don't have a water pokemon.

Challenge Number Two:
3v3 Singles!
NFE only.
2 Day DQ
0 Recoveries, 5 Chills.
Arena: Warioware.

Warioware Arena

An artificial environment with no external water source or natural grass. Digging and seismic moves are allowed. Weather is allowed.

At the beginning of each round, the ref will give a task to the participating pokemon to perform during the round. It can be anything as long as all active pokemon can feasibly accomplish it (eg, use non-STAB moves only). Any pokemon that fail to complete the task take damage equal to 1/4 of their max HP.

Both battles can be training battles if the acceptor wishes.

Accepting number two.
Switch=KO

[Metal Bagon]

1v1 singles
36 hour DQ player/2 day DQ ref
2 chills/0 recoveries
1 pokemon is to be sent to the ref
Only pokemon that haven't evolved are allowed

Arena: Abilities Testing Site
This is a specially constructed arena where all moves are allowed and the only catch is, well, that it tests abilities. When you send out a Pokemon, you may give it 3 abilities of your choosing (none of them have to be its actual abilities). The only restrictions on this are: 1) you can't choose an ability more than once over the ENTIRE match (e.g., Rattata gets Stench/Contrary/Wonder Guard, Pidgey cannot have any of those three abilities), 2) you can only choose one "really good" ability per Pokemon (Wonder Guard, Magic Guard, Multiscale, etc.), and 3) you may not give a Pokemon any ability combination that renders it immune to every attack type (e.g., you can give Tynamo Wonder Guard, but, if you do, you can't also give it Levitate).

Just remember that a pokemon has to be able to hit your pokemon with a move.

For example, I can't give a swampert wonder guard if my opponent doesn't have a grass move.

OK accpeting metal Bagon.

Switch=No
Items=No

Metal Bagon's Olivine Lighthouse

Hide

Arena: Olivine Lighthouse
Field Type: Electric
Complexity: Moderate
Format: All

Restrictions: Too high up for Dig, Earthquake, etc.
Lighthouse light doubles Thunders power but draws in Thunder Wave and Thundershock as they have too low a voltage.

Description:
Thunder's Power is doubled however thundershock and thunder wave are drawn towards the light. We are too high up for surf and Dig, Earthquake and magnitude will fail. Time of day is dusk so you can still see clearly but the light in the lighthouse isn't bright enough yet to blind you, after 8 rounds it will be completely dark and lighthouses light will lower Pokemon's accuracy by one stage.

PS: I don't care if it actually isn't the Olivine Lighthouse so deal with it.

Switch=OK
Items= Yes
Abities= All

These two matches need refs. Please and thank you.

Arena: N's Castle - Throne Room

The clash between the dragons have devastated the zone, vaporizing all the surrounding water. There are several columns around, but the ceiling has collapsed for the most part, making you able to see the beautiful firmament above your heads. A cool breeze blow in the area, since it's almost midnight, and you struggle to see beyond a few meters due to the really low light produced by the stars (yes, it's a new moon night today). Will you be able to prevail without the might of the legendary dragons?
