714.png

Noibat (M) [Darko]
Type(s): Flying/Dragon

Flying STAB: Immunity to Ground attacks and the Arena Trap Ability except under the effects of Smack Down and Gravity, even for ground-based flying Pokemon. Will always hit foes with Dig (except other Flying types) and Dive. Cannot be hit by Dive unless the attacking Pokemon has a size class greater than four (4). Unaffected by Spikes or Toxic Spikes when switching in. Able to hit Pokemon in the evasive stage of Bounce, Fly or Sky Drop with single target moves that hit Pokemon on the field regardless of position.

Dragon STAB: -1 BAP on incoming neutral attacks Dragon itself would resist (e.g. -1 BAP on Aqua Jet against Garchomp.) Unable to have Thrash or Outrage disrupted by oncoming damage.

Abilities: Frisk / Infiltrator / Telepathy (H)

Frisk: (Passive) The Pokemon has intimate knowledge of the opponent's held item and ignores any item-based increases or decreases in damage, BAP and STAB from the opponent's item. This will not block the increase in BAP moves like Acrobatics and Knock Off that incur when an item is or isn't held. Item-Based increase in ranks (Such as from Rare Candy) are not negated by Frisk. The Pokemon will not be affected by Fling or Natural Gift.

Infiltrator: (Passive) Through a combination of speed and cunning, this Pokemon easily circumvents the effects of Light Screen, Mist, Reflect, Safeguard, and Substitute with all of its attacks.

Telepathy: (Passive) This Pokemon has a mental link with its allies in multiple battles, which allows it to avoid taking damage from allied attacks that damage each foe or the entire field like Blizzard and Earthquake. They are still affected by an opponents spread damage attacks. LOCKED

Munchlax (M) [Gordon]
Type(s): Normal

Normal STAB: +1 BAP on attacks that match dominant arena type after 3 actions. Unable to have Thrash or Outrage disrupted by oncoming damage.

Abilities: Pickup / Thick Fat / Gluttony (H)

Pickup: (Passive) This Pokemon has a natural habit of collecting items. Whenever a hold item (its own or an opponents) is thrown away with a move like Fling, or knocked onto the ground with a move like Knock Off, this Pokemon will immediately pick up that item without using an action. It can also grab dropped or naturally occurring hold items in arenas.

Thick Fat: (Passive) This Pokemon has a great deal of extra fat or muscle that increases its resistance to extreme heat or extreme cold, reducing the type effectiveness of Fire- and Ice-typed attacks to the next level of resistance (2x weak becomes neutral, neutral becomes resistance, etc.)

Gluttony: (Passive) This Pokemon devours healing and stat increasing berries at 50% health (flat) instead of 25% health (flat). It also regains three (3) HP per action when holding Leftovers. LOCKED

Hmmm... Darko may not be able to do all that much to his opponents with this meager stats, but we can't count Masta out just yet, because any Munchlax is just one hell of a powerhouse that can and never should be underestimated!

Action 1
Darko used Agility! (7 EN)

Bind -> Darko (4 EN)
Miss

Action 2
Heavy Slam -> Darko (9 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 6093 = no crit
(14+(2-2)1.5) = 14 DMG

Darko used Double Team! (8 EN)

Action 3

Poof!

Dark Pulse -> GoldiRocks (6 EN)
RNG roll (to crit) 8318 = no crit
(8+(2-3)1.5) = 6.5 DMG

And we're off to an exciting start! The matchup looks quite skewed in favor of Kiesman and his Onix, but I've seen much more uneven matchups turn out in favor of the underdog, so don't start thinking that this Noibat is completely without a chance! Noticing he's at a disadvantage, Darko starts to go on the defensive, darting around with incredible Agility! It's obvious that GoldiRocks won't be able to give up, but she gives it her all anyway, throwing her tail and attempting to Bind Darko in place, but the little bat just flies right out of the way, causing GoldiRocks to hit the dirt and nothing more!

Slightly aggravated from the miss, GoldiRocks jumps impressively high into the air and drops on Darko with a mighty Heavy Slam, dealing a good amount of damage! Darko just keeps on with his plan and once again makes some incredibly fast movements, creating two little clones of himself! A successful Double Team indeed, but there's no guarantee that Onix will be able to pick out the real one!

Happy with the success from the previous actions, GoldiRocks performs another Heavy Slam! Really would not want to be on the receiving end of one of those... but it looks like it doesn't really matter this time, as it looks like a clone was hit! Laughing to itself a bit because of its successful trickery, both Darkos then proceed to let one a Dark Pulse which combine in the air and deal a modest amount of damage. GoldiRocks is not at all in a bad position here, but Darko is primed to switch out and let Munchlax come in for the dirty work! Will Masta keep fighting with the underdog or bring in back-up?

Keeping right on with his defensive tactics, Darko once again rushes about with some still pretty cool-looking Agility, but unfortunately for Masta, Kiesman and GoldiRocks have gotten used to this routine, as GoldiRocks weakly throws a Rock Tomb at Darko, expending what appears to be too much energy for how little GoldiRocks seemed to put into that attack, but that's consecutive EN penalty for ya!

Making a pretty smart play, Darko rushes up to GoldiRocks only to perform a quick U-Turn! While the attack did practically nothing to the big bulky Onix, it's going to let Munchlax in, and that's not gonna be fun at all for it! In response, GoldiRocks jumps as high as it possibly could to deliver another Heavy Slam hoping to deal as much damage as possible, but it looks like the little Noibat is staying strong!

Hoping to break down GoldiRocks' otherwise impenetrable defenses, Darko lets out a ridiculously high-pitched Screech that is just... ow... it even hurt my ears! Munchlax doesn't really have many options to hit Onix's lower Special Defense, so this plan of action may seem a little unorthodox, but it will definitely see some results! GoldiRocks finishes the round with yet another Heavy Slam, but it's in for some trouble now! The battle is just heating up!

And with a clever play, Kiesman takes the table and completely flips it over, taking a slight advantage for Masta and making it a large advantage for him! First forcing Munchlax to switch out with a Dragon Tail and then setting up Stealth Rocks, the next round is almost a formality, with GoldiRocks being able to KO Darko with any attack he chooses! Gordon isn't even able to do all that much in spite of this change, with his Earthquakes doing meager damage thanks to Onix's masive defense stat! Gordon still has a lot of HP, even after Stealth Rocks when he comes back in, while GoldiRocks is quickly running out of energy! This match is getting more intense by the minute!

"I don't wanna miss a thing" from Aerosmith starts playing from NVX's boombox as the meteor approaches, and if you look closely, you can see Bruce Willis, standing at the top of the giant rock, staring down angrily at the Onix*

The match is slowing down, but it looks like Kiesman has this match in the palm of his hand. Despite GoldiRocks being very low on energy, she still has quite a few Chills left and doesn't really have to worry about Gordon taking advantage of it due to just how little damage Gordon can deal! Unless Masta finds a way to break GoldiRocks' defenses and fast, it looks like we're gonna have a bit of a stallfest that will onlyh end with Gordon being easy pickings for Growlithe!

Things are getting more and more dire for Masta by the minute! As GoldiRocks keeps herself alive by sitting back and Chilling out, Gordon is backed into a corner and forced to Screech not just once, but twice right at GoldiRocks in an attempt to break her defenses! GoldiRocks continues to just go straight on with the slow and steady route, Binding Gordon with her tail for really ineffectual damage, but the residual damage for it is enough to make the attack worthwhile. While Gordon goes on the offensive with a mighty Earthquake, it begins to do some noticeable damage, but it's only enough to just start pushing GoldiRocks into the yellow! With the stat boosts already beginning to decay, it looks like Gordon is in here for the long haul in taking GoldiRocks down!
