[Battling 101] Mentor jayelt413 vs Pupil Silver_Lucario42

I am going to tag jayelt413 again because he didn't teach his Litwick PROTECT

Fire Blast ~ Flamethrower ~ Fire Blast
IF damaging Ghost-type move THEN Will-o-Wisp the first instance and pushback
 
Spr_DP_Rich_Boy.png

Dodge it, Storm!

Double Team (2 clones) ~ Shadow Claw ~ Aerial Ace
IF you don't have clones on A2 THEN use Double Team (2 clones) and push back
IF you are burned on A3 THEN initiate action string Rest ~ Sleep Talk [Shadow Claw, Aerial Ace, Wing Attack, Peck] ~ Shadow Claw
 
Nice job abusing my (very badly written) sub. Double Team can be powerful in the right situations, but in this case you were probably better off just getting as much damage as possible on Litwick before I burned you and then Resting, as DT is quite unreliable. The only reason to use Double Team here would be to stall for a switch to Krabby (which you shouldn't be looking to do anyways), and you have better stalling options if you want to go that route. Remember to be wary of not doing enough damage; if you get as lucky as possible with your orders you still only do around 23 damage, which is not what you want ordering second.

Great orders. I'm going to have to take way more damage than I'm comfortable with to get out of this one. It would be nice if this Litwick had Protect though.

The thing about combos is that comboing two 0 priority moves together yields a combo with a priority of -2. Therefore, Litwick kills Rufflet before it uses the combo. You should have just used one standalone Shadow Claw.

Ref
 
#Amulet Coin
Rock Slide ~ Bubble Beam ~ Rock Slide
IF Litwick is to use Will-O-Wisp AND you are not burned THEN use Dive and push back.
IF Litwick is to use Acid Armor on A1 or A3 THEN change that action to Bubble Beam, but only once.

(Note: Since I incorrectly thought Krabby could learn Waterfall and marked it on its profile, I have to change it for something else. In a second, I'll edit Rock Slide into all other areas where Waterfall occurs.)
 
Alright, so this will be your first introduction to Endure. Endure is a really really good move, and I'm using it here to get two Energy Balls off on Krabby. There's...really not a whole lot you can do here to counteract that because your Krabby lacks Toxic or any other method to get residual damage. This is why I always get Toxic on a fresh Pokemon. Also, there's no reason why you shouldn't be using Waterfall here because it does more damage than Rock Slide or Bubble Beam. I would have looked into Waterfall ~ Rock Slide ~ Waterfall; it does a lot more damage than your order set. Lastly, remember your damaging evasive moves. Using Dive in a substitution to keep yourself safe would have been a fabulous idea. Something like "IF damaging Grass-type move THEN Dive and pushback" really would have been annoying for me.

NOTE: The reason I am using Rock Slide instead of Waterfall is because I claimed King Krab without knowing that Krabby, in fact, can't learn Waterfall. So I've replaced it in my profile and battles with Rock Slide.

Okay first of all, I'm going to remind you of the smashlloyd principle.

Be careful of not doing too much damage. If I just order Earthquake*3 on your current order set (not even doing anything to counteract Dig), I do 26 damage and you do 33.75. While you outdamage, Krabby can absolutely put on much more hurt than that against Drilbur. Also, you should go Dive A3 for two reasons. First, Dive does more than double the damage that Bubble Beam does. Krabby should NEVER EVER EVER use special moves when it has 5 Atk and 0 SpA, EN cost be damned. Also, if you're going to use Agility to make yourself faster you should be abusing Dive as much as possible because it does a ton of damage and severely limits my options.

And now you get to learn more about substitutions! First of all, if you don't state otherwise, substitutions will prioritize themselves based on the order you write them in. Also, if you ever have a substitution saying "do something AX", all other substitutions with a pushback clause need to have "and push back actions and substitutions". Otherwise I get to do this:

Iron Defense ~ Earthquake ~ Dig
