ASB Sword and Shield Tournament

Hi again, all you late risers! In case you're suffering from a quarantiney sleep schedule and were worried all the tournament matches had taken off without you, fear not!

The challenger on the left is one of ASB's freshest faces: it's relative newcomer Sivanandi! Their team brings forth a good mix of speed, power and bulk, from tanky Revenankh and Garchomp to the three attackers that clear the 100 Speed threshold. As generally good as these mons are, outright positive matchups are few and far between for Sivanandi--that's what you get when Ghost is super effective against itself, and when your own ghosties are weak to Psychic. Siv will have to resort to the good ol' strategy of being better than the opponent, and they can rely on Miklan the Revenankh. Not losing outright to much on the opposing team, at the very least Miklan is unlikely to be dead weight in this one

On the right we have ASB veteran P2X7! He's a bit of an unknown in his own right; while he doesn't hang out on discord, this old Gym Leader's skill is hard to deny. He's taken a less-than-orthodox approach to teambuilding with his CHONK of a team that isn't much lacking in offense, either. Out of this lineup, Charles the Slowking doesn't outright counter anything on the opposing team outside of Infernape, yet should still play a big role, considering it threatens every possible opponent with either super effective STAB moves or with its nasty quad-effective coverage. Its other two prime targets, non-Infernape edition, still have super effective Ghost STAB against it, so this shouldn't be a cakewalk either.

So, now that we've met our battlers ("allegedly"), let's flip a coin so we can get to it!
Sivanandi: Heads | P2X7: Tails

(It's heads!)

How stuff will happen:
Sivanandi sends out Pokémon with item
P2X7 sends out Pokémon with item and orders

It is a nice duck.

Hot damn, these are terrible matchups.
Good luck, P2X7! (But not too good, hopefully, since you're actually good.)

Sending out Riev the Gengar @ Eject Button!

IF Gengar uses Shadow Ball, use Mirror Coat that action and push back.
IF Gengar uses Hex, use Mirror Coat that action instead.
IF Gengar uses an unsuspended D/E move outside of a combo, AND you move after it based on Speed order, use Stealth Rock the first instance the first instance, Dig the second, and Dig the third, pushing back each instance.

Commentary for two rounds in one!
In our last installment, two frail yet powerful Ghosts face off, with Cursola more than making up for the speed disadvantage with raw power and special bulk. However, P2X7 overlooks one key move in his substitutions, which allows Sivanandi to surge ahead in the damage race. The advantage is short-lived, however, as Siv opts against having to order first in this matchup and goes for a switch

P2 makes up for previous missteps by serenading the opponent with the dance of our people, an ancient art that is said to bring success to those who perform it and mild inconvenience to those who are forced to witness it. Meanwhile, as cute as the Spelon Berry is for the upcoming Slowking matchup, Catherine is busy getting outdamaged by Whirlpool.

IF Infernape is under the effects of a successful P/E move when you would act, use Future Sight the first instance and Trick Room the second, pushing back each time. Do not play this substitution consecutively. Always activate Berserk Gene upon sendout.
IF Infernape is in the evasive stage of Dig when you would act, use Earthquake that action instead and push back. Always activate Berserk Gene upon sendout.
IF Infernape is Enduring when you would act, AND it is not under the effects of Whirlpool, use Whirlpool that action and Brine the next action. Always activate Berserk Gene upon sendout.

~~Sneaky arithmetic magic go brrr coments after lunch~~
Some pretty clever orders by Sivanandi allow them to keep Catherine alive, if just barely--even then, 2 HP are more than enough to continue raising hell for one more round. Using Fake Out to avoid Charles' first attack keeps Catherine outside of Brine range, exploiting a slight oversight in P2's initial orders, since even a Scald in place of Brine would've claimed the monkey's life. Will Catherine take advantage of its blistering speed to land one final strong hit on her opposing number, or will Sivanandi choose to save her for Corviknight and switch her out?

ACTION ONE
Charles' Berserk Gene activated!
Charles' Attack sharply rose!
Charles' Special Attack sharply rose!
Charles became confused! (sort of)

Catherine used Fake Out!
(Crit Roll [<=50]: 780/1200; No)
[(4 + 5 - 4) x 1] = 5 DMG
Charles flinched and couldn't move!
-4 EN (Infernape)

ACTION TWO
Charles used Brine!
(Crit Roll [<=50]: 979/1200; No)
[(7 + 3 + 5 - 3) x 1.5] + 4 = 22 DMG
-7 EN (Slowking)

Catherine used Extremely Natural Beam OF DOOM!
(organic beam? it's a working title)
(Hit Roll [<=1140]: 1067/1200; Yes)
(Crit Roll [<=50]: 825/1200; No)

Hello, it seems I forgot to note Infernape's Sluggish in the summary for the previous round and it turned out to be relevant as this would cause it to Struggle A1. I went and asked mods and tour host and apparently Sivanandi is entitled to a reorder and we start the round over.
I apologize to both of you for the inconvenience, Sivanandi go ahead

Sivanandi · Apr 26, 2020

In THAT case

Switching to Riev the Gengar @ nothing!
Counterswitch?

Gemini Taurus · Apr 28, 2020

P2X7, seeing as you haven't posted in LoA, and you have exceeded DQ once already and not reordered in this battle I am going to issue DQ warning.

Please order in this ASAP to avoid disqualification. Thanks!

Sorry about the last round.

Back in the present, it seems Catherine is too sluggish to continue, so Sivanandi opts for Riev to come back into the battle. Seeing the opportunity to capitalize on the switch, P2X7 goes to one of Gengar's prime counters in Elon Musk the extremely wealthy Alolan Muk! Unfortunately for him, his opposing number is doing the most of Gengar's numerous advantages while ordering second and, some type change shenanigans and some moon-assisted recovery later, has neutralized most of what Elon Musk can muster.
Then again, Muk is sitting pretty except for some lost energy--a resource which Gengar is running pretty low on.

ACTION ONE
Riev used Reflect Type!
Riev's type changed to match Elon Musk's!
-5 EN (Gengar)

Elon Musk used Crunch!
(Crit Roll [<=50]: 278/1200; No)
(Effect Roll {Def drop} [<=240]: 1179/1200; No)
[(8 + 3 + 5 - 3) / 1.5] = 8.67 = 9 DMG
-5 EN (Muk)

(Ability Roll {Cursed Body} [<=360]: 565/1200; No)
---
ACTION TWO
Elon Musk used Knock Off!
(Crit Roll [<=50]: 193/1200; No)
[(7 + 3 + 5 - 3) / 1.5] = 8 DMG
-6 EN (Muk)

(Ability Roll {Cursed Body} [<=360]: 1123/1200; No)

Riev used Perish Song!
All Pokémon hearing the song will faint!
-15 EN (Gengar)
---
ACTION THREE
Riev used Metronome!
(Metronome roll: 476/1200; Moonlight)
Wagging a finger called Moonlight!

Riev used Moonlight!
Riev restored health! +20 HP
-19 EN (Gengar)

Elon Musk used Brutal Swing!
(Crit Roll [<=50]: 1184/1200; No)
[(6 + 3 + 5 - 3) / 1.5] = 7.33 = 7 DMG
-4 EN (Muk)

(Ability Roll {Cursed Body} [<=360]: 606/1200; No)

Riev's Perish Count fell to 2!
Elon Musk can honestly go suck a bag of dildos
...also Muk's Perish Count fell to 2!

Your doom approaches! Ha ha ha!

IF Muk is under successful P/E THEN Chill and push back

P2X7 · Apr 30, 2020

"Eventually, one of us will have to keep their whole lead when ordering first."

Substitute (15 HP) - Taunt - Brick Break

According to Veekun, Substitute blocks the trapping effect of binding moves like Infestation. If this is not how BBP rules this interaction, I would appreciate the opportunity to reorder.

Extreme phoenix vibes ess emm aych my head.

It's hard to go for the full Perish trap, it seems. This phoenix alt seems to have forgotten that base Gengar has a shittier ability without its Mega.
