Competitive League Circuit 8 - TheEver vs. Epicdrill

[Maxim]

Hello everybody to this exciting match! Today, our players get the opportunity to ask the question "What if I was a Realgam Trainer?" Now they get to find out, here at scenic Realgam Tower Stadium! A total of nine Pokemon have been sent by each combatant, and soon three will be chosen to fight. While we wait for the players to get ready, let's go over the rules.

February 2024
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be a trainer in Realgam Tower? Well, now's your chance to find out!

  Hidden within the sands of Orre is a tower once inhabited by the violent organization Cipher. Now rid of the evil, the Tower welcomes those willing to battle against simulacra of world-renowned trainers. It's also renowned for allowing to train large batches of Pokémon at once, increasing team synergy, and is often swarmed with visitors and tourists curious to see novel strategies in action. Strangely enough, at the top floor of the Tower, in the most luxurious office, sits a Turtwig plushie.
  • On sendin, assign each Pokemon a Slot (either 1, 2 or 3). Each Slot must have three Pokemon assigned to it.
    • When a Pokemon is selected from a Slot, permanently label all other Pokemon assigned to that Slot as unselected.
    • Pokemon that are unselected do not count as inactive or in reserve. (You can't send them out, and no effects that involve inactive Pokemon can see them.)
  • For the purposes of creating your backpack, you own at least three copies of every item in your inventory.
  • On sendin, assign each Pokemon an item from your backpack.
    • If a Pokemon is unselected, the item assigned to it is removed from the backpack.
    • If an item assigned to a particular Pokemon is equipped to any Pokemon, select the Pokemon it is assigned to.
    • Effects of your opponent cannot affect any items that are assigned to Pokemon in your reserve.
      (These rules might seem complicated, but what they let you do is mimic the setup Realgam trainers have where their backpack can depend on their team. The third bullet point exists to prevent shenanigans like using Pickpocket to choose your opponent's team for them.)
  • Camouflage's type is Steel
  • Secret Power's effect inflicts confusion on the defender for their next turn
  • Nature Power calls Flash Cannon

With that out of the way, let's introduce the teams! In the red corner, we have the maiden of fate, the aggressor extraordinaire! Better watch out for that axe, because she's here to grind it, it's TheEver!

===========================
Round 1:

Welcome to the beginning of our exciting match folks! Epicdrill has decided to send out Morgana the Gengar, while TheEver has sent out Sever the Samurott-H. We have here a match between a very tricky Pokemon and a hard hitting attacker!

Morgana wastes absolutely no time showing off her tricks. She casts an absolutely wicked hex upon Sever, sealing off Ceaseless Edge while also giving Sever a severe dizzy spell. TheEver accounted for at least part of this however, and Sever dutifully cuts Morgana with a powerful Night Slash, dealing a solid amount of damage. However, Sever hurt themselves a bit with the attack, and Morgana's Cursed Body activates, ensuring that the move cannot be used again in this matchup. As if that was not enough bad news, Morgana's Weakness Policy activated, boosting her offense to spectacular levels.

Levels that she immediately puts to good use, draining Sever with a boosted Giga Drain. However, the attack may have been too powerful, as this prompts Sever to eat their Sitrus Berry and recover some stamina. Sever for their part isn't giving up, as they right when Morgana is cackling at their plans going smoothly, Sever cuts their mocking off with a Throat Chop. This shuts Morgana up completely, while dealing some good damage.

At the end of the first round it is rather difficult to tell who is ahead. While Morgana landed some very solid blows, due to their lower base HP the HP totals actually still favor Sever. Who will pull ahead in the next round? Stay tuned to find out!

Round 2:

Welcome back folks to this exciting match! The two Pokemon continue to face each other upon the battlefield, and right now things are quite tense.

Morgana starts off by throwing an orb of plant-based energy! This hurts Sever as much as a badly made plant-based smoothie, and deals an incredible amount of damage. Sever responds by...taunting their opponent? I can't tell from here what Sever said but something about it has Morgana really riled up!

Morgana attempts to throw another orb, but this time after striking Sever it bounces back and hits her for some damage as well! Sever seems to have planned for this, as he Bulldozes the arena and makes it harder for Morgana to move. Sever then follows up with another Throat Chop, and Morgana silently goes down, but not without Sever having paid an immense price in stamina.

TheEver has won a quick advantage in this round, but with Sever on their last legs it's gonna be tough for her to take much advantage of this lead. Who will epicdrill send out next, and will TheEver counterswitch? Stay tuned to find out!

===========================
Round 3:

Welcome back to this exciting match folks! Epicdrill sends out Kira the Swampert to replace her fallen comrade. Meanwhile TheEver has chosen to meet this new threat with Unstoppable the Ursaluna. Epicdrill declines the counterswitch, giving them second order.

Unstoppable decides to immediately start attacking with a flurry of Seed Bombs (and a Throat Chop for good measure). Kira responds by...um...just sitting there? Kira is just sitting there and taking the punches. Ah I see, Kira is merely Biding her time to unleash a powerful move. Hit the deck!

Huh? Where is the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earthshattering kaboom.

Ah, Bide was reworked recently, now it only triggers when you use Bide again, or dissipates upon using an attack. Swampert stores an immense amount of energy, which means next round they have the capability of launching a...113 fixed damage attack, at plus one priority. Yeah that seems fair.

TheEver is in a tight spot now. Is there any way she can avoid the seemingly inevitable destruction of Unstoppable? Stay tuned to find out! And you might want to stock up on some blast shields in the meantime.

Round 5:

Welcome back folks to this explosive...I mean exciting match! This round, we see TheEver forced to bring out Perma the Metagross, which is swiftly Mega Evolved to the fearsome Mega Metagross! How will epicdrill and Kira react to this new foe?

Poorly, as it turns out. Perma uses their speed and the cheeky fact that Grass Knot is a contact move (somehow) to deal a lethal blow to Kira immediately. Somewhat anti-climactic.

However, it's almost time for the main event! Epicdrill's last slot will be her own Mega Pokemon. Who will she choose to face down Perma? Stay tuned to find out!

[TheEver]

Maxim Metagross should move first on Step 1, since Mega Evolution occurs as part of the enters play checklist (per 11.4) so it'll be at 127 speed by then. Grass Knot is a contact move so it should receive the Tough Claws boost.

 

[Maxim]

Maxim Metagross should move first on Step 1, since Mega Evolution occurs as part of the enters play checklist (per 11.4) so it'll be at 127 speed by then. Grass Knot is a contact move so it should receive the Tough Claws boost.

This has been fixed. Carry on.

Round 6:

Welcome back folks to this exciting match! Epicdrill has made her choice and it is...another Metagross. Really? A mirror match?

A mirror match that is not helped by the fact that both of our contestants hit each other, in vain, to try to dislodge their opponent's mega stone. What do you want from me? They are just hitting each other, no tricks or interesting gameplay, just Attack x3. Booooring.

What do you mean I advocate for Attack x3 all the time? Yeah but that's me, when I do it the match is exciting. It's only when other people do it that it is boring. What do you mean cheap commentary, I'll show you cheap commentary you stupid teleprompter! *Signal Disconnected*
