Yes I've been working on this for an hour and a half what's it to you mind your own damn business
Gather round, boys and girls, children of all ages, as we get set to kick off ASB's first tournament of the new generation with what has been called by some as the highlight match of the opening round [citation needed]! Two seasoned battlers vie for an early lead in what's arguably the tournament's strongest group, looking to go one step ahead in their road to becoming Generation VIII's first champion. As veterans of the Gym League and ASB's toughest tournaments collide, let's head straight to the action!
Team Mowtom :
Dragapult [Diazin] (F)
Tier: ★★★☆☆
Type: Dragon / Ghost
Abilities: Clear Body / Infiltrator / Cursed Body (Unlocked)
- This Pokemon's body structure makes it immune to stat-lowering moves used by opponents. (e.g. Intimidate, Growl, Screech etc.)
- Through a combination of speed and cunning, this Pokemon easily circumvents the effects of Aurora Veil, Light Screen, Mist, Reflect, Safeguard, and Substitute with all of its attacks.
- When this Pokemon is struck by an opponent's attack, there is a 30% chance to inflict the attacker with the Disabled status. While Disabled, the attacker cannot use the move that struck this Pokemon.

Hippowdon [Hartal] (F)
Tier: ★★★☆☆
Type: Ground
Abilities: Sand Stream / Sand Force (Unlocked)
- Unless otherwise commanded by the trainer, when entering into battle or when a Pokémon mega evolves into a Pokémon with this ability, this Pokemon summons a massive Sandstorm that lasts for 4 rounds (6 with Smooth Rock), expending 10 EN to do so.
- This Pokemon thrives in Sandstorm conditions, using the power of the swirling sand to augment its Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-typed attacks. Each of this Pokemon's Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-typed attacks will have the Base Attack Power increased by one (1). Pokemon with this ability are immune to Sandstorm damage.

Medicham [Medium] (F)
Tier: ★★★☆☆
Type: Fighting / Psychic
Abilities: Pure Power / Telepathy (Unlocked)
- This Pokemon has immense inner strength that grows with its development, raising its Attack by one Rank for each evolution level (first of three stages = 1, first of two stages or second of three stages = 2, fully evolved = 3). If Skill Swapped, the swapped Pokemon's Attack is only raised by one Rank.
- 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.

Ninetales-Kanto [Nicety] (F)
Tier: ★★★☆☆
Type: Fire
Abilities: Flash Fire / Drought (Unlocked)
- This Pokemon thrives in high temperatures, and takes the energy of any opposing fire attack, nullifies the damage, and uses the additional power to boost its own fire attack's Base Attack Power by two (2).
- Unless otherwise commanded by the trainer, when this Pokemon is sent out or when a Pokémon mega evolves into a Pokémon with this ability, it summons blistering sunlight that scorches the field and lasts 4 rounds (6 with Heat Rock), expending 10 EN to do so.

On the blue corner we have yet another veteran whose credentials include being older than the dust inside your keyboard and having teamed up with fellow Group B contender Maxim to carry an assortment of scrubs to a Team Tournament Two title. Alliteration! He's won other tournaments too but whatever.
I'm struggling to point to a clear MVP frontrunner on this balanced team, since so many of his matchups are neutral at best. It'll be up to dogfish to turn the coinflips into KOs, but I guess I'll stick withDame Judy Dench the Reuniclus, since it has only one clear check on Team Mowtom and has the coverage and power on both offense and defense to at least remain a threat to everything else.

I've been typing for six days straight and I'm out of ideas, so let's flip a coin instead.
Mowtom: Heads | Dogfish44: Tails

How stuff will happen:
Dogfish44 sends out Pokémon with item
Mowtom sends out Pokémon with item and orders
Dogfish44 orders
YAS continues to pretend he's not a dogfish alt
