[Abilities]: Dancer
Dancer (Toggle)
By default, when another Pokémon uses a move with "Dance" in its name, this Pokémon decides to join in on the dance, using that move immediately afterwards. If the move used was a combination, this Pokémon will only use the last dance move listed in the combination. Dance moves used this way will not incur the consecutive move energy penalty. When toggled, no effect. Either way, this ability cannot be removed from the Pokémon by any means.

"Hi there, new person! Welcome to your first ASB match! I see you've picked your Pokémon, that's great. Here, I'll explain the basics of battling in ASB -or rather, I'll pummel them into your skull! Hey, don't look at me like that, it's the best way to learn. Don't worry though, I'll go easy on you for your first match: I'll regularly make intentional missplays, your job will be to analyze my orders and try to find their weak points. I may or may not slip in a trap or two, though...
Now, you have to send out first. Watch carefully which mons I picked and try to determine which of yours has the best matchup: matchups are key here. Good luck~!"

"See, this is an orderset. You have the main orders (in bold) as well as the substitutions below. Substitutions are important when ordering first, because they allow you to discourage your opponent from using their most optimal strategy. They usually come in formats like this one, with a IF (Trigger) THEN (thing to do). Now, try to analyze my orders and put yourself in the best situation possible for next turn, because YOU will have to order first!"

"That's quite an impressive first round, removing half of my HP. While you could have abused my orders a bit better, you still have a strong lead with a straightforward damage race, so you're in a good position.
Now, it's your turn to order first, which means you'll have to write substitutions! Look how I wrote them, try to find out which of my moves are the most dangerous to you, and plan accodingly. You should also note that you can use restrictions such as [ONCE] (the substitution only activates once) and [NONCONSECUTIVE] (the substitution won't activate twice in a row) on your subs to prevent sub abuse. Do your best!"

"Not the most favorable RNG I've ever had, but at least there was some balance to it. Oh well.
Now would be a good time to explain how Switch phases go. You see, if you're ordering first, you can initiate a Switch phase and switch to another of your Pokémon (assuming you still have at least one in the back, of course). By doing that, you must leave the opportunity to counterswitch to your opponent (there are exceptions like partial trapping though), which means that they can elect to switch in response to your own switch. If they do, they are the one ordering first! Quite a nice tool to keep pressure on them. Be careful though, as you can't initiate a Switch phase twice in a row."

Switching phase initiated!
Switching to Oricorio-Pom-Pom!
Would you like to counterswitch?

 

[Tarantara]

I'll stay in.

 

[TMan87]

"A logical choice."

HP Steel | Fly | HP Steel

IF Bide THEN activate action string Substitute (15) | Feather Dance | HP Steel
IF damaging Rock-type combination THEN use Fly (Suspend) this action, Fly (Attack) next action, restarting queue afterwards
IF Dragon Dance THEN Safeguard and restart queue

"More info about substitutions here: a substitution can allow you to shift your entire orderset (see the Bide sub). On the other hand, "restarting queue" means that once the action triggering the substitution is spent, the orderset will restart from A1. As you can see, subbing for combinations is an useful tool to avoid taking massive damage. You might also want to search for a delayed D/E attack (like Fly) to understand what the sub does. All in all, it's your turn now!"

Since I goofed up and didn't mention the item when sending out, Oricorio won't have an item. Not a big deal, but you should always remember to mention an item when sending out!
