Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
[NONCONSECUTIVE] IF Shadow Sneak THEN Protect [2 subs] IF Sucker Punch OR Aegislash is actually Zoroark and it's in the evasive stage of D/E when you are to act THEN Psychic Terrain first instance, Wish second instance
Sivanandi sends in Aegislash, which somehow doesn’t seem right... it was Zoroark. Again.
TMan is naturally suspicious, so he isn’t too surprised when Aegislash turns into Zoroark. And promptly gets KOed for his troubles.
Order of operations:
We fix the mistakes TMan87 sends out Gallade w/ Power Bracer. Sivanandi orders. TMan87 orders.
I ref!
Please give me these nice one action rounds ;)
"Now this is going to be one hell of an uphill battle."
Revenge | Brick Break | Revenge
IF under P/E THEN Feint and restart queue IF in the evasive stage of D/E when you are to act THEN Earthquake odd instances, Bulldoze even instances, restarting queue each time IF Counter THEN Aura Sphere and restart queue
Dig x 3
IF Yew is to use a damaging ground-type move THEN Aerial Ace
IF Yew is to use Revenge outside of a combination AND Claude has 19 or more HP THEN Counter
IF Yew is to use a damaging fighting-type combination THEN start action string Protect | Aerial Ace
"At least I get to see how this item works!"
"You think you have this in the bag, yes? Well... you probably do!"
"Yew... What did we say about batle confidence?"
"Uh... but I'm going to snatch that victory anyway!"
"See, that's better."
Two things to note:
1) Even if a Pokémon gets ENKOed, as long as it's not a combo or a special case like Destiny Bond, it still performs the move.
2) All Pokémon use their action, even if one of them is already fainted, which can result in a move getting thrown at nothing. In that case, I still should perform Bulk Up A3.
Yeah, well, there's still something else: you applied consecutive EN cost (+4) twice, both in the evasive and strike phase. It should be split into two (+2/+2) for each phase. Which means that Zoroark should be able to use Dig.
Hey, reffing is one of the best ways to become acquainted with the game, after all.
"Yew, are you ready? We've been on the defensive far too long."
"I, Yew Geneolgia, am raring to go! Let's see you take this!"
Earthquake | Knock Off | Earthquake
IF under P/E THEN Laser Focus first instance, Work Up any other, restarting queue each time IF Wide Guard when you are to use Earthquake THEN Fling first instance, Night Slash any other, restarting queue each time IF damaging Ghost-type combination THEN Protect second instance
In this final heated round, Aegislash sets off a massive Destiny Bond, then proceeds to let Gallade finish him off, while also dealing enough damage to allow Destiny Bond to KO. The result was as expected. It’s a tie!
But unfortunately in BBP ties are counted as a loss to the challenger, so... Sivanandi loses? Idk. But that should be right! Thanks for playing everybody and good game to all!
