Completed The Blazing Dojo: Doduodrio vs Mamoswindle

[TheEver]

Rules
The Blazing Dojo
A dojo is accepting new students. Here pupils will learn through practice, under the watchful eye of sensei Helios.

• Rules are B3P2, level 4, half start on, 7 items, surely I can just say "standard" for the rest
• After the ref has resolved a round there is a commentor phase where I (Helios) give commentary on the previous round. Did anyone do any cool strategies, are there better ways players could achieve their goals with their subs, etc.

Rewards:
Completion: +2tc, +2 rc to the ref.
Victory: +3tc, +3rc for the victorious player.

Oona - Clefable (Lv. 4)

Oona

Species: Clefable, Gender: Female
Level: 4, EXP: ---
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
Typing: Fairy
Abilities: Cute Charm / Magic Guard / (Unlocked) Unaware
Advanced Techniques: None

Profile

Profile:
Oona is a ditzy personality, spontaneous, and very much her own person. She's quite clumsy and always knocking things over though. She does what she wants, whenever she wants which can cause issues if she's in battles and just wants to nap. Since she's from the Moon (or so she claims), she doesn't really understand how Earthen culture works and sometimes misinterprets what people say. She gets along really well with Node and Taro since their personalities are very similar.

How They Met:
Entering Doduodrio's home uninvited, Oona made a flashy appearance, going through the locked front door and setting up camp in the basement as if she had always been there. What she does down there is a mystery since she claimed the basement as hers (and barred all from entering), but Oona seemingly gets along with everyone so nobody really bothers her.

Name Origins:
Her name was originally going to be Minnie from Lusamine but I liked Oona (I heard the name before somewhere and I liked how it sounded).

Carmine - Moltres-Galar (Lv. 4)

Carmine

Species: Moltres-Galar, Gender: Female
Level: 4, EXP: ---
Nature: Timid (+Spe, +10% Accuracy, -1 Atk)
Typing: Dark / Flying
Abilities: Berserk
Signature Move: Fiery Wrath
Advanced Techniques: None

Profile

Profile:
Carmine is haughty and aloof, taking pride in her sleek black feathers and vibrant flames. Wherever she goes, the sky darkens with shadow so that all may recognize her presence and cower in her terrible power. Those who do not give her the proper respect will receive her wrath, facing a barrage of dark flames that will not cease until she feels satisfied that they have learned their lesson. (Or, until she is defeated in battle.)

How They Met:
While exploring the Eviolite Cave, Doduodrio stumbled upon a strange Poké Ball the color of blood. Carmine emerged from it, causing a lot of the local wild Pokémon to become aggressive. Doduodrio was unable to handle their attacks, and it was not until his third trek into the Eviolite Cave that he was finally able to complete the exploration and earn the respect of Carmine.

Name Origin:
Carmine is the color of Galarian Moltres's flames.

Species: Smokomodo, Gender: Male
Level: 4, EXP: ---
Nature: Jolly (+Spe, +10% Accuracy, -1 SpA)
Typing: Fire / Ground
Abilities: Blaze / (Unlocked) Technician
Advanced Techniques: None

Profile

Profile:
Curtis is cool and collected which starkly contrasts with the magma that constantly flows around his body. His calm demeanor helps him stay focused in the heat of battle; it also ensures that he maintains strict control over his body temperature lest he overheat which could prove dangerous for everyone involved.

How They Met:
There are certain places in the world with volcanic black sand. So, Doduodrio and Sheldon decided to go visit a beach with black sand in Alola! While they were there, they met Curtis who lived in the area, and he showed them around the local area, exploring the abandoned Thrifty Megamart and other wilderness.

Name Origins:
From Dr. Curtis Connors, the true identity of supervillain The Lizard, from the Marvel comics.

Helios Thoughts

As is sometimes the case in b3p2 there are some very polarizing match ups in here.
Smokomodo wants to unload on ttar or sneasler, moltres galar wants to dodge togekiss and to a lesser extent ttar, clefable wants to dodge sneasler. Duo's eject button is quite interesting there, but it does have the interesting note that you now lose match up control if you eject button as first order in return for getting to choose your best "second order mon". In this particular battle first ordering with the right mon might actually be more important.

Nothing really wants to fight the togekiss and nothing really wants to fight smokomodo, making them important tools for this battle.

We start with a rerun of the most recent league!
I really like the sneasler enigma berry start. The combination of fake out and enigma berry makes it very hard to out trade sneasler in a 2 step round.
This set up is so potent that even smokomodo with theoretical 40 damage attacks has a hard time breaking in.

In a very general sense I would want to counter this sneasler by not engaging with enigma berry, it is too hard to trade up and he will just swap out, so the item use is "free". Maybe someone like fidgit who threatens to set up hazards and is immune to poison, or someone who wants to para sneasler to punish a swap out.
Trapping or unnerve could work to deny the value of enigma as a consumable, but here only the unnerve would work since sneasler can u-turn vs trapping unless you have free subs to protect it.


For the smokomodo order I think you need to be more careful about dodging at least one of the fake out or the dire claw, it is too much free value with poison touch.
Bone rush is fine even if your item is removed with switcheroo (which would also be very weak from sneasler anyway) so replacing the 4th sub with "[once] At the start of the step, if my opponent is to use fake out and is not to use u-turn next round, use protect." and main ordering the bone rush would have saved some free damage.

Helios Thoughts

Well there is an obvious elephant in the room here.
Duo... this isn't even the first time I have seen your clefable get their charing moves interrupted :(.
Solar beam, meteor beam and others require a sub to defend when first ordered to block multi hit attacks.

I would consider having thunder as your main order and giving up the evasive order in order to fit it in (because both thunder and meteor beam beat fly anyway).

Other than this I like the orders. trying to force sleep is a good way to survive first orders and you covered evasive, decoy, protect, imprison which are the standard big gottems.

On Mamo's side I wonder how valuable this safe guard is long term. I would have considered sleep talk ~ wing beat ~ wing beat, saving 25hp and spending duo's tech in return for not putting up the safe guard. You are under fake tears, but it seems like a safe bet that you will swap out, so the spD drops do not matter.

Helios Thoughts

This round had good potential for duo. Unfortunately it was not really realized.

Mamo's subs have no answer to sleep or bide.
There was some condensing that could be done.
"At the start of prio0 IF Clefable is to use a physical returning move THEN use sludge wave the first time and protect the second." catches both counter and bide. If your opponent presses counter twice and trades into sludge wave ~ protect that is still a big win.
The decoy sub is unnecessary since you are already gunk shotting it. Even if gunk shot was somehow sealed and clef gets a decoy up without dying, hitting it twice with dire claw is fine.

I personally do not like "At the start of prio 0" most of the time since it feels like the sort of thing that gets wrecked by speed tricks compared to "at the start of my turn", but I don't see any exploits here.

The extra sub could be for sleep talk, or protecting the clef sing combo.


On Duo's side it was worth looking around more for exploits. The combo decided upon is quite low impact since it only catches 1 step from sneasler and clef is too low on hp and en to really exploit this in the upcoming round. Sneasler can swap to spA attacks without much loss due to the very balanced unburden ability.

skip ~ bide ~ bide would have put sneasler to 20hp~ as a possible option.
skip ~ sing + fake tears ~ dream eater is another possibility. Sneasler has no way of clearing the sleep so it makes ordering into them in a later round much easier as well. With this line it is quite plausible clef can get 2 more actions off vs the sneasler, probably not quite winning, but once again putting them very low.


In general it is very common for second orders to allow pokemon to go even or win despite bad typing situations. checking your combo list and obvious suspects like bide, imprison, evasives has a good value for time return.

Helios Thoughts

Things seem to be wrapping up and there is not too much to add here.

Defog is not a good sub vs protect because it has a target (so will fail into protect).
This would have been a good time to use combos if smokomodo had them since Duo still has 2 tech and the match is close to over.
