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.
Ilyana switches strategy to Rock Blasts (25 Damage / -9 EN) Violet's substitute, shredding it in time for Violet to cringe in paralysis. Oof, not the best of timings methinks
: 29/43 ~ Taunt (1a)
: 43/58 ~ Paralysed (15%)
Ilyana continues the Rock Blasts, this time one rock Critting (26 Damage / -13 EN), but Violet is able to Counter this attack with ease (39 Damage / -19 EN)
: 0/30 ~ KOed
: 17/39 ~ Paralysed (15%)
Engineer's Youma pops out from backstage and takes rock damage (-12 HP), as the final fighting begins!
I'm happy that Violet's going first. :) You've done your job, so it's good that you get some rest after this, okay Violet?
Thunder - Shadow Ball - Thunderbolt
If Youma uses Shadow Ball or Hex, use Sucker Punchon that action, unless Sucker Punch is Disabled then ignore this substitution
Youma sees Violet is trying to perform an offensive move, so scores a KO with a Sucker Punch (17 Damage / -6 EN) that perfectly removes Violet from the game!
: 23/45
: 0/39 ~ KOed
Flora's Geranium now pops out to battle as we return to the opening scene.
Engineer Pikachu (Stealth Rocked!) OOO
Youma (M)
23 HP / 45 EN
Status: +19% Accuracy
3 Atk / 1 Def / 5 Sp.Atk / 3 Sp.Def / 127 Speed / 3 Size / 3 Weight Incoming sense of Deja Vu
Swagger - Hidden Power - Hidden Power IF Geranium uses Zen Headbutt AND You are not using Confuse Ray THEN Use Confuse Ray if Geranium is not confused, use Pain Split if Geranium is not confused and the sum of your HP counts are above 59 and Geranium's next action is not Bullet Punch, use Disable Zen Headbutt if Geranium is not confused and the sum of your HP counts are not above 59 and Geranium used Zen Headbutt earlier in the round, and carry on otherwise.
IF Geranium decides to be evil use evasive agility THEN Use Double Team (4) if you have no DT clones and Geranium doesn't order Rock Slide after an Evasive Agility while pushing actions back, Icy Wind if the above substitution doesn't activate and Geranium hasn't used Evasive Agility yet while pushing actions back, and Shadow Punch otherwise and push actions back.
Geranium seems to be planning something. It's claws glow a dark shade of purple, as a sphere forms between them, manifesting into the shape of a large fist. Suddenly, this Oriental Fist is fired like a cannon at Youma, who is shredded into ghostly confetti. Ouch (29 Damage / -13 EN).
Good play from both of you. My impression, however, is that Flora's mons were just too bulky for Engineer to break through, and the latter paid the frailty of his squad dearly.
Yeah, I have to admit, I was completely unoriginal throughout the match lol. Too much of an advantage to attempt to "be creative," though I'm not that creative to begin with.
edit: oh yeah EP, you have Mean Look twice in your Gengar's movepool. ^_^
It's because Youma is very mean to people who kick others off trains!
On a more serious note, I knew that I was screwed when I saw Geranium on Flora's team; that thing has got to be one of the best Pokemon in ASB. I played pretty badly in the first couple rounds (seeing Taunt on Meta, then not seeing Taunt on Tomo), so my chances of winning this one was reduced to zero.
