Ongoing Midrange Battle under the newbie Ref! (Leethoof vs. LouisCyphre)

[Neosonic97]

Newbie ref Neosonic97 here, ready to ref my first match! No frills, no special gimmicks, just a nice, clean battle. Level 2s mean the Pokemon are pretty midrange, so we won't be seeing anything too crazy like Mega Evolutions, Z-Moves or Dynamax. The Arena's also totally neutral, so this one's gonna be a test of pure skill, guts and strategy.

A coin flip decides who sends out first. Heads for Leethoof, Tails for LouisCyphre... and it came up heads!

(Leethoof sends out and equips.
LouisCyphre sends out, equips and orders.
Leethoof orders.)

 

[Leethoof]

Chelsea the Venusaur

"The indoor heat lamp isn't quite enough for me today. Let's battle!"

 

[LouisCyphre]

We'll send out Bolverk the Kingambit, with no item.

Bolverk - Psycho Cut | Aerial Ace | Psycho Cut

IF Chelsea is to use Leech Seed AND Chelsea is not to use Leech Seed on another step THEN use Protect and restart main orders, but only once.​

IF Chelsea is to use Skull Bash AND Chelsea is faster than you are THEN use Beat Up and restart main orders.​

At the start of your own turn, IF Chelsea has Protection THEN use Stealth Rock on first instance, and Swords Dance on later instances.​

 

[Leethoof]

"Grey and chilly today, I'm ready for winter to end. "

Earth Power -> Sunny Day -> Weather Ball

If Kingambit uses Protect, then use Synthesis the first time. Push orders back.
