Mono the Monohm

Mono [♀] Monohm [Stage: 1]
Type: Electric / Dragon

[Abilities]
Shield Dust
This Pokemon has dust covering the outside of its body that reduces the Effect Chance of incoming attacks to 0%. This prevents such things as Burns from Flamethrower from occuring.

Static
This Pokemon's body is surrounded by an electric field that has a 30% chance of paralyzing opponents that use contact moves on this Pokemon.

Overcoat [HA locked]
This Pokemon has a sturdy exterior that rebuffs the elements, making it immune to damage inflicted by bad weather. The Pokemon is also immune to moves tagged as #Powder. If the Pokemon is already immune to at least one (1) kind of weather, or powder attacks by typing or a different ability, Overcoat reduces the Base Attack Power of all oncoming attacks by one (1).

Poké-Profile

Mono is normally very quiet, and prefers to keep to herself. Despite this, she has one of the best grasps of strategy in the entire team, but frequently keeps it to herself. Nobody asked for her advice after all!

Azu the Azurill

Azu [♀] Azurill [Stage: 1]
Type: Normal / Fairy

[Abilities]
Thick Fat
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.)

Huge Power
This Pokemon's Attack Rank (e.g. before nature) is doubled. If this Pokemon does not naturally have this ability, its Attack Rank is instead increased by one (1).

Sap Sipper [HA locked]
This Pokemon lives on a steady diet of plants and has developed defenses to every Grass-type attack. When attacked with a Grass-type move, damage and effects are negated and the Pokemon gains a one (1) stage boost to its Attack stage (adjusting the natural stage).

Poké-Profile

Easily excitable and exceedingly garrulous, Azu has been remarked to be capable of talking the hind legs off a Mudbray. This chatter often irritates other temperamental members of the party, and she is frequently thrown away. Due to her small size, bouncability and excellent landing control however, she is never hurt by this and often comes back talking as furiously as ever. She loves coffee but never gets more than a cup, much to her disappointment.

"So this is what a real batlle looks like! Hmmm... Maybe I should try my best, I dont want my Pokémon to get hurt. The world, as we know it, gonna change after this!

I send out my:


かたわれ時 "What u gonna do?"

 

[かたわれ時]

But in order to change the world, you first need to know how it works! In this case, battle!
I'm sure you know that battling in BBP is very different from the main series games!

Ooh! Let me let me!

I say if I lose this battle I blame it on the type matchups


Hellllloooooo!
Sunny Day ~ Solar Beam ~ Solar Beam
IF the weather is Hail when you are to act, THEN Sunny Day.

Ok, text wall incoming
What am I doing here? In BBP each round consists of 3 actions, where you can use any move in your movepool.
Each move has its own Base Attack Power, BAP. Solar Beam, for example, has a BAP of 12. These stronger moves however also costs Energy, EN, that can cause you to faint if you're not paying enough attention. We'll get into that a bit later, but in the beginning of the battle EN is not something to worry about. The BAP of moves is usually low enough that you can never Knock Out a Pokemon in a single action or even round, so you'll need to plan ahead into the future. You'll usually want to focus on attacking, but like in the main series games setup can prove important.
What's the line beneath my orders? That is a Substitution, or Sub, that is designed to make first orders less difficult for the player. Subs allow the player to change their orderset based on what the opponent orders. You usually have 3 substitutions, but in Beginner battles you'll likely never use them all.

These are the basics. There are lots of asterisks and conditions. We'll get into some of them later in the battle, while others will be learned from fighting other players.

Alright, enough talk. Let's see you give it a go!

 

[montegom]

Maybe... maybe u are right. I will have to learn how this world works but I'm here to test myself.

I'm gonna freeze those cherries

Calm down Snorunt! That Cherubi has been in more battles than us, this is not going to be as easy as pretended.

Welcome to another BBP battle and another debut of a new trainer. Montegom enters the scene sporting two Ice-types, which may cause some problems for the Grass and Dragon-types on かたわれ時's team. This round featured as many weather changes as April in Ontario, which caused the speed advantage to change hands on every action. Snorunt ends up better off for it, getting a round of chip damage and Ice Body healing in while Cherubi uses Sunny Day twice, causing it to fall behind in the damage race. Now it's montegom's turn to order first; can he capitalize off of the early advantage?

Hail ~ Blizzard ~Blizzard
IF the weather is Sunny Day when you are going to act then use Hail

 

[かたわれ時]

<an invisible Monohm>: I don't see a way to win this one.

We're definitely losing this one. Let's focus on teaching him.


Even if we're losing, I'm not going down without a fight!
Solar Beam ~ Petal Blizzard + Petal Blizzard ~ Cooldown (Solar Beam)

What am I doing A2? Seen above is a Combination, or Combo, and they are high-risk high-reward. Combos require a few things to work:
Firstly, the selected moves must be able to be used in a Combo. The above is a Same Move Combo, so there is no risk of the combo being illegal. We'll see if Different Move combos will be covered in this battle. An illegal combo would result in you Struggling, which is definitely suboptimal.
Secondly, you must have enough EN to use the combo, otherwise it will fail and you will faint. Same Move Combos take the Base EN Cost of a move and multiply it by 3.5. With Solar Beam using 7EN, a Petal Blizzard combo would use 24EN (accounting for same-type EN cost reduction) and hence I would be left with 42EN and survive.
Combos also have a Cooldown of 1 action where you are unable to do anything. Why did I put Solar Beam in brackets then? If, for some reason, the combo fails, that order there would tell Cherubi to use Solar Beam, so that I don't waste an action having done nothing. This only applies for combos, and you can't use it anywhere else.

High reward: they deal a lot of damage. Why do I say it's high risk then? Besides the high EN cost and the cooldown, combos frequently don't deal as much damage over the same time period. My Petal Blizzard combo deals 24 damage, whereas if I ordered Petal Blizzard for 2 actions, that would have dealt 26 damage. In addition, combos have their priority lowered. My Petal Blizzard combo is at priority -2 for example. This means that you could be KOed by the opponent before using it, wasting an opportunity for damage.

So when do you use a combination? Many, many niche circumstances that you will encounter further down the line, but especially for one last burst of damage before you or your opponent dies. The main advantage of combinations is allowing you to compress the damage of 2 actions into 1. So, like in this instance, the opponent would outspeed you and KO you before you can get any damage in, you would want to use a combo to get the maximum amount of damage in. Like in this case, Snorunt would KO me before I could act A3, so using a combo A2 would allow me to maximise my damage output.

Whew! That was a lot of talking. If you feel confused, do ask me to explain further! And if you would want more advice, BBP has a very splendid community that you can drop a message to (on their walls, or through mail) if you need any help! I highly recommend the BBP Discord however, you'll get answers far more quickly that way! (Provided you have a Discord account of course!)

The two battlers continue to fight over which kind of weather is better. Snorunt returns Hail, which is ultimately decided on as the weather of choice going forward. Using the snowy conditions, Snorunt fires off multiple perfect accuracy Blizzards to put an end to Cherubi's fight, but not before Cherubi fires back with a blizzard of its own, although this one involves petals and not ice. Who will be Snorunt's next opponent?

Slam ~ Bounce ~ Slam

Now should be a good time to introduce Damaging Evasive, D/E moves to you.
As you saw earlier, moves with charge phases, like Solar Beam and Sky Attack, have been improved in BBP, as they attack in the same action, greatly increasing their damage output. However, the greatest improvement goes to moves with Evasive phases, like Dive, Fly and Bounce. These Damaging Evasive moves go into their evasive stage at 0 priority and attack at -1 priority. If your Pokemon outspeeds the opponent, you can effectively avoid their attack using D/E moves, making them incredibly potent.
Despite their potential, there are numerous ways to counteract their use. Attacking at +1 or -1 priority with moves like Ice Shard or Counter circumvents the evasive stage that makes D/E moves as potent as they are, while decreasing the opponent's speed with moves like Icy Wind makes you attack first.

Why am I telling you all this? Well, Azurill is way too slow to take advantage of D/E moves...

Have you seen my legs? They're teeny!

 

[montegom]

"D/E moves... I see some other people use them on their battles, but 20 Speed Azuril... haha."

"What a cutie, it can't even throw some snowballs under this hail. Let's have some fun."

It's important to note that the increased energy cost for using the same move multiple times in a row carries over between rounds. This caused Snorunt to knock itself out by spamming Blizzard, which it had also used on actions two and three of round two. Thick Fat also helped Azurill take reduced damage from Blizzard. Despite all of that, the triple Blizzard, in combination with Hail's chip damage, put a notable dent into Azurill.

Poor Azurill. It must have had some ice land in its eyes, as it couldn't hit anything this round. Sneasel could have gone for the killing blow, but it took the time to set up instead. As (I don't know how to pronounce your name) said, setting up here doesn't yield as effective results as it might in the main games.

Sneasel has the easy task this round of knocking out Azurill, which has no tricks up its sleeve to defend itself. It fishes for some attack boosts in the process to no avail. Hodaka is down to his last Pokemon, Monohm. Can he make the comeback, or will montegom close this one out?

One last lesson: as with most Pokemon games, recovering HP is a very important aspect of battle. This is prone to abuse however, so recovery moves like Slack Off can only be used twice for each Pokemon, per battle. They are still quite potent however!

Turns out Shield Dust can be a pretty fun ability when it isn't found on weak caterpillars. Not that Sneasel really needed to reduce Monohm's speed. Unfortunately for Sneasel, it managed to miss a 95% accurate move, while Monohm connected on its 70% accurate move, despite Hodaka being the one who has had accuracy problems this battle.

The two battlers spend the round trading blows, but Sneasel manages to miss another Icy Wind. I guess that's the karma for Azurill's accuracy troubles.

"I think it is the moment to take some of your advices"

Icy Wind + Icy Wind ~ Ice Shard ~Ice Shard

 

[かたわれ時]

Same move combinations factor consecutive EN cost together with the base EN cost of the move, so your Icy Wind + Icy Wind combo would cost ((5+4*2)*3.5)-1 EN, or close to 45 EN, knocking yourself out.

M: Talking all this energy is making me feel tired!

Something else to teach you is Chilling. Much like recoveries, each Pokemon only has a limited number of Chills. (5 instead of 2.) Unlike recoveries however, Chilling is not a move, but rather an action that restores 12EN to the user. Chilling can be useful in long battles where EN becomes more important.

M: Let's take a bit of a rest...
