Now up against Shuvi, Palutena takes an extremely strong punch before retaliating with an evil hypnotic suggestion! Shuvi falls fast asleep, stopping them from struggling uselessly due to not knowing the move that was ordered. Palutena takes a breather and then removes Shuvi's berry, preparing the field for her ally while her foe is still to drowsy to respond.

Palutena swaps out for Judgement, who prepares to rain fire down on the unfortunate Shuvi! However, the gods of the random numbers judge Judgement harshly, causing him to miss two out of the three attacks he uses. Shuvi takes advantage of this to set up rain and slow Judgement down, though the one hit they take still does massive damage. This round went really well for TMan, let's see if he can keep it up with first order!

These combatants really can't stay still, huh. Palutena comes back out again to face Mako Mankanshoku, the last of TMan's team to enter the battle! Palutena acts quickly to protect herself from rain boosted attacks and to deny Mako's healing, but Mako slows down her foe and gets the heck out of there! Palutena is looking extremely out of it by now, and personally I'd be shocked if she survives the next round.

Right on cue, Judgement shows up to fight Shuvi. The sea monster unleashes two fierce attacks, though one of them was weakened by the rain pouring down on this battlefield. Shuvi responds by shaking the ground before blowing herself up entirely! Judgement weathers the blow, though of course it is now his turn to seem weakened. Meanwhile, the rain falling on this battle finally seems to have let up a bit.

Volkraken has Infiltrator so screens aren't taken into account (not that it matters).

Mako the Lanturn takes her final stand!

Thunderbolt | Brine | Thunderbolt

IF
Volkraken is in the evasive stage of Dive when you are to act THEN Whirlpool first instance, Surf any other instance, restarting queue each time
[ONCE] IF Destiny Bond THEN activate action string Whirlpool | Brine | Thunderbolt
IF
Volkraken is Electric-type A2 THEN Thunder instead

Judgement prepares to do as much damage to Mako as possible, and his evil intent throws her so far off balance her first attack misses entirely! This works out for her, though, as Judgement survives the round and can't deliver an even worse finishing blow. Still though, Mako is getting very tired, and one completely fresh opponent is left for her to face.

If Lanturn is Enduring when you would act and Lanturn has 1 HP and Lanturn is not badly poisoned and Lanturn is not behind a Substitute and Lanturn is not behind Safeguard, use Toxic that action.
If Bounce outside of a combo and you move after Lanturn based on speed order and Lanturn is not under the effects of Smack Down, use Smack Down that action.
If unsuspended d/e move and you move after Lanturn based on speed order, set Counter that action.

Judgement flees and is replaced by Magnus, who towers over Mako menacingly. The anglerfish does her best to make her opponent riled up, boosting his attack and confusing him! Magnus proceeds to whack himself in the face with a concrete pillar. Ow. However, that hit was strong enough to snap him out of confusion entirely, and with a tremendous roar, he shakes the ground below Mako's fins! Mako soaks Magnus with water and tries to paralyze him, but it doesn't work, and one last attack from Magnus knocks her out. TMan is out of useable Pokemon, so Gold takes the victory!

Sure.

Generally speaking, I had an initial advantage due to my team's damage output, but I believe that this battle was largely decided on send out. Leading with Farfetch'd allowed me to play extremely aggressively with Gardevoir, forcing you onto the defense with the threat of an ORKO. From this point onward, I was able to utilize my team's individual strong matchups to further my lead, picking items specifically calculated to hit threatening benchmarks, and this continuous pressure helped me control each successive matchup. My plans were waylaid several times by RNG, but by the time Volkraken fought Metagross, I had built up enough momentum that a failed round didn't matter.

There are a few small interactions that also warrant mention. Although it was optimal to shoot for the 2HKO against Darmanitan and prevent its escape, I was crippled to the point where Enduring or chicken-dancing was impossible, so Metagross probably would've done a better job at claiming the advantage, especially with the threat of hazards and an item that discouraged Volkraken. Given that Farfetch'd's subs didn't fully account for a suicide approach, and Metagross could snipe Darmanitan with priority if it survived/switched, you gave me an opportunity to maximize the remaining value of my active Pokemon and partially restore Gardevoir while cleaning up. This put your incoming Pokemon in a difficult position, given that Gardevoir could set up its teammate by neutering Metagross's item or give Lanturn hell with ability control, allowing me to retain my advantage when the replacement entered the field. Finally, many of your item choices either failed to reliably influence the match or appeared at times where I could immediately deploy Knock Off, allowing me to amass a greater lead than otherwise possible.

You played well, but I would recommend employing more foresight in your future battles. Good Game, aside from the RNG, this was a fun battle.
