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.
Force Palm - Vital Throw - Force Palm If Voodoom uses Endure, replace your respective action with Sand Tomb and push your actions back. Do not play this substitution more than once in this round.
And both players send out their final orders! Statis the Voodoom, probably trying to get a precious flinch, attacks with Dark Pulse. While it did damage the mummy somewhat, Myrkul is a badass moffo and didn't flinch. The Revenankh counter-attacked with Force Palm, hitting Statis leg with such power that it paralysed the Voodoom!
Finally, Statis get in a final hit with his Psychic powers, but Revenankh is a ghost, so it is somewhat light, meaning that it didn't deal that much damage. The same can't be said for Revenankh's attack. Taking a page from Battle CAPacity, he went Zangief on Stasis and used Vital Throw to throw it on a nearby tombstone, breaking...both. Voodoom fainted!
This means that the Gym Leader is victorious! Such an awesome match, folks! give a strong round of applause to our players, folks, 'cause that was a terrific match to watch!

It's important to be tough and resilient when you battle, don't you think? You have to accept that both sides will get hurt. You have to understand that the pain of losing is a natural outcome. If you just focus on winning, you can forget that the bond between you and your Pokémon is the most important thing. I try to focus on that bond in my novels. I want them to be full of heart and soul!
Thank you, Leethoof, for posing such a big challenge. That Mandibuzz was truly unexpected, so kudos for that!
