[Doduodrio]

RULES:

Rules

Match
A match is a composition of multiple games. A match is over when one trainer wins two games.
Both players send in a team of 4 Pokemon.

Game 1:
- The ref flips a coin (or rolls a 1d2, you get the idea) to select who is "T1" and who is "T2"
- T1 strikes one of the five arenas
- T2 strikes two of the remaining four arenas
- T1 strikes one more arena
- The round is played on the remaining arena
- T1 is first sendout

Games 2+:
- The loser of the previous match decides whether they want to be T1 or T2 (if T1, the next step is done in the same post)
- T1 strikes one arena
- T2 picks one of the remaining arenas
- The round is played on the selected arena
- T2 is first sendout

Special Rule #1: The game ends when the first KO is scored. The trainer of the KO'd pokemon loses that game.
Special Rule #2: When you send in your team, if a Pokemon has access to more than one form-changing item or attachment: submit one (1) form-changing item or attachment to your ref. The item you submitted to the ref is a secret. During battle, you may not attempt to equip form-changing items or attachments, other than what you submitted to the ref.
Tiebreaker rules:

• KOing an opponent through a self-KO move or Destiny Bond grants them the win
• KOing an opponent through a move that results in your Pokémon ENKOing grants you the win
• KOing an opponent then taking recoil that KOes you too grants you the win

Arenas

Exeggutor Island
This island is populated almost exclusively with the Alolan variety of Exeggutor. The Pokémon living here are happy, but carefree, and sometimes one of the Exeggutors will simply fall over. Watch out for them! Sometimes they lose Exeggcute in the process, though they don't seem to mind...

• Any Pokémon switching out is hit with a STAB Dragon Hammer from a neutral natured Alolan Exeggutor (after applying end-of-Round effects). This move cannot crit or miss and will grant victory to the opponent if it KOs
  • Whenever that attack deals damage: place a Delayed Attack named Egg Bomb on the opponent's team
• Misty Terrain prevents Dragon-type moves from being attempted (except the arena Dragon Hammer)

Codifications
Camouflage: Grass
Nature Power: Hydro Pump
Secret Power: Lowers Attack by 1 stage
===================
Ruins of Hope
These ruins contain the temple enshrining Tapu Fini. Mist is particularly thick in the temple, and the interior is often flooded by the rising tide.

• The battle starts with permanent Misty Terrain and Mist (Regular) on both sides of the field. If removed or replaced, both of these effects are refreshed at the start of the next turn
• Misty Terrain prevents Major and Minor Status
• At the end of every round, flip a coin. If it lands on tails, water floods the cavern for the next round, preventing Pokémon from using contact moves that round. Struggle can still be used, but will always miss

Codifications
Camouflage: Fairy
Nature Power: Hydro Pump
Secret Power: Lowers Special Attack by 1 stage
===================
Poni Meadow
This beautiful flower meadow is covered with purple flowers. Oricorio usually feast on that nectar, strengthening their Ghost abilities and transforming them into birds whose slow, elegant dance has an air of etherealness.

• Normal-type moves become Ghost-Type (before applying Abilities)
• Stage boosts and drops don’t decay and persist through switching
• Grass-type Pokémon gain a second Ghost typing. If they already have a secondary typing, they become triple-typed instead. Pokémon that already possess the Ghost and Grass dual typing are unaffected

Codifications
Camouflage: Grass
Nature Power: Energy Ball
Secret Power: Causes sleep
===================
Altar of the Sunne & Moone
This altar experiences incredible reality distortion, owing for the most part to the unstable Ultra Energy seeping from a wormhole above the altar. The world as you know it is torn inside out!

• Battles at the Altar of the Sunne & Moone are Inverse Battles
• Ultra Beasts, Necrozma, Solgaleo and Lunala retain their normal weaknesses, resistances, and immunities.

Codifications
Camouflage: Psychic
Nature Power: Psyshock
Secret Power: Lowers Defense by 1 stage
===================
Mina's Houseboat
Among other boats is Seafolk Village, Mina's house is adorned with pretty flowers and it's not unusual to find insects swarming around the place. Sometimes you'll spot an unusual Ribombee, but it's nothing to worry about. Just keep smelling the flowers.

• By default, all active Pokémon's Evasion stage is reduced by one (1)
• The first time an Active Pokémon drops below 50% HP: at the start of the next round, the player of that Pokémon declares a weather. The declared weather comes into play at the start of the round and cannot be discarded
• The first time an Active Pokémon drops below 25% HP: at the end of the step, raise that Pokémon's five core stat stages by two (2) for its next six (6) turns
• The first time an Active Pokémon drops below 10% HP: during the next round, the player of that Pokémon can use one (1) Z-Move of their choice by linking a move their Pokémon knows

"Today, we are on the lovely Poni Island in the tropical Alola region! Today, we'll have some fun battling, and maybe, just maybe, one of our battlers might attract the attention of a certain Tapu. Good luck to all, and let's have some great battles!"

End of Round 1

"Alolan Pokemon are cool, don't ya think? Buzzwole was asleep for most of this round, not able to do much of anything. However, Raichu certainly dealt some powerful blows. That Light Ball is no joke!"​

End of Round 2

"This was quite a complex round with many form changes and substitution interactions. Ultimately, city's Ditto transforms into Zygarde before then transforming again into its Complete form, restoring a lot of HP in the process! Will this advantage be what she needs to pull into the lead? Or will Maxim defeat this dastardly doppelganger?"​

Maxim orders first
cityscapes orders second

[Maxim]

Zygarde: Photon Geyser (Get Paralyzed bruh)~Glare~Scale Shot
At start of turn 2 or 3, if Ditto is under a Protective move, then Dragon Dance and push actions down
At start of step 2 or 3, if Ditto is to use Dig, then use Earthquake.
Once, at start of step 2 or 3, if Ditto is to use Pain Split, then Protect
Once, at start of turn 2 or 3, if Zygarde (you) is under the effects of partial trapping, then use Bind

 

[cityscapes]

this might actually be workable.

my...perfect form...

Dragon Tail ~ Rest ~ Pain Split

 

[Maxim]

Doduodrio

1. Why is everything bold?
2. Unless I’m mistaken, Zygarde should be forced out via Dragon Tail, forcing me to switch to Buzzwole with Expert Belt.
3. Therefore, cityscapes should have to go first.
4. The flavor and turn order appears to have been copied from the previous round.

Round 3:

Start of Round 3

Arena

Mina's Houseboat
Among other boats is Seafolk Village, Mina's house is adorned with pretty flowers and it's not unusual to find insects swarming around the place. Sometimes you'll spot an unusual Ribombee, but it's nothing to worry about. Just keep smelling the flowers.

• By default, all active Pokémon's Evasion stage is reduced by one (1)
• The first time an Active Pokémon drops below 50% HP: at the start of the next round, the player of that Pokémon declares a weather. The declared weather comes into play at the start of the round and cannot be discarded
• The first time an Active Pokémon drops below 25% HP: at the end of the step, raise that Pokémon's five core stat stages by two (2) for its next six (6) turns
• The first time an Active Pokémon drops below 10% HP: during the next round, the player of that Pokémon can use one (1) Z-Move of their choice by linking a move their Pokémon knows

i sure do love fair arena effects.

stasis gives way to complacence, complacence gives way to problems. watch what happens when you need to keep everything in balance.
