IF Protect THEN Shadow Punch, pushing back.
IF Iron Defense this action or a future action AND Pupitar is NOT Taunted THEN Taunt, pushing back.

ZhengTann to order

 

[ZhengTann]

Man I'm on a losing streak and it affects my confidence to actually win. Now to see if I can exploit this.....

Taunt > Payback > Payback
(only check this Sub at start of A2, before any Pokemon acts) IF Gem-Haunter is under the effects of Taunt, THEN replace A2 with Iron Defense instead.

 

[nightblitz42]

So Haunter's sub doesn't activate because of Taunt at that time, and because it becomes illegal it's not subject to anti-infinite-loop rules anymore... ugh, sub rules are still confusing...

Okay time to actually hit stuff! Can't really remember the last time I got this far since the reboot...

Rock Tomb > Snarl > Smack Down
IF Gem-Haunter is NOT under the effects of Taunt AND ordered to use Will-o-Wisp AND is slower than Trespasser-Pupitar, THEN replace the first instance with Substitute (20HP) instead, pushing remaining queue back.
IF Gem-Haunter is NOT under the effects of Taunt AND ordered to use Taunt AND Protect is NOT used on the last action, THEN replace that action with Protect instead, pushing remaining queue back.

Wow, it's pretty much neck-and-neck (or it would be, if either of our Pokemon had necks...)
also this would be a lot easier if I knew Shadow Sneak

Hex ~ Shadow Ball ~ Hex
IF under P/E THEN Chill, pushing back.
IF Pupitar is awake when Haunter would act AND NOT behind a Substitute THEN begin sequence: Hypnosis ~ Nightmare ~ Toxic.

[ZhengTann]

Sleep seems weird. Like, even if Hypnosis lands, Trespasser-Pupitar has a 66% chance of just waking up right after? Eh I need sleep to process that.
Also Trespasser-Pupitar has 2 more HP because Snarl causes Hex A3 to deal less damage.

Payback + Payback {Trespassing Rampage!!}, on all 3 actions

 

[nightblitz42]

Huh, the instructions for Sleep in the BBP handbook are written really vaguely for some reason. The ASB handbook's instructions are a lot more clear about it imo.

Well, losing streaks on. I am losing confidence still :(

Endure > Earthquake > Earthquake
IF Gem-Haunter is ordered to use a Burn-inducing move AND Trespasser-Pupitar has +0 Defense, THEN replace that action with Iron Defense instead, pushing remaining queue back.
IF Gem-Haunter is ordered to use Taunt AND Trespasser-Pupitar did NOT use Protect (self) in the last action, THEN replace that action with Protect instead, pushing remaining queue back.
