Keep in mind that Shield Dust blocks secondary effects, so there's no need to roll for Freeze and such. Saves you some time! ^_^
"Great start, now let's bring the onslaught!"
Hurricane -> Gust -> Hurricane
If he uses a Protective or Evasive action and it is not raining, use Rain Dance and push actions back
If it is not raining when you would act use Volt Switch the first time and Thunderbolt each time after that

I found it right after you logged off IRC. From the NDA's description for Rain Dance:
The user summons rainclouds to the sky, causing it to rain in the arena. Water-type moves gain three (3) BAP, and Fire-type moves lose three (3) BAP for the duration. During rain, Thunder and Hurricane have perfect accuracy and a 30% chance to bypass Protect and Detect. The rain lasts for four (4) rounds. This move will simulate the effect as best it can indoors (e.g. activating sprinkler systems). In the absence of such concessions (e.g. a dry desert cave), this move fails.

Rats. In that case...
