Welcome to another spectacular battle here in the BBP Arena! Today's bout is called a Beginner Battle, but its participants hardly fit that criterion; instead, both battlers are old faces returning to try out the new system. Let's see the teams!The Rules said:Format: 1v1 1* Beginner's Singles
DQ: 72hr
Substitutions: 3 each
Recoveries / Chills: 0/0
Arena: BBP Arena
Granny Pie's team:
Cupra [Koichi Hirose] (Male)
WIP
Types: Bug/Psychic
Abilities: Shield Dust This Pokemon has dust covering the outside of its body that reduces the Effect Chance of incoming attacks to 0%. This prevents such things as Burns from Flamethrower from occuring.
Keen Eye This Pokemon has extremely good vision. Its accuracy cannot be lowered, its attacks ignore opposing Evasion boosts, and it is immune to Intimidate.
Illusion (Hidden) (Locked) Whenever you send this Pokemon out, it can feign the appearance of another member on your squad. If this Pokemon is damaged by a direct attack, the Illusion will cease at the end of the round. Direct damage is any attack that does damage to the Pokemon's HP. Attacks that are evaded, blocked via Protect, or damage a Substitute are not considered direct damage. It will retain the typing and moveset of the Pokemon with Illusion. [Usage Note: PM the ref if you are sending out a Pokemon with Illusion with the info on said Pokemon and one of your squad members in a Switch=KO battle. You must use that squad member later in the battle though. In Self-Reffings or Roleplay, PM a third party.]

Immediately, we can see that Granny Pie holds a slight advantage; Cupra's higher HP and access to Will-O-Wisp give it considerable staying power against the physically oriented Jangmo-O. However, Jangmo-O packs higher BAP on its STAB moves and a nice set of tricks, evening things out. The first round should be particularly important this match.
