Facility The Legend Gauntlet (Tapu Koko): Gemini Taurus vs epicdrill

[TheEver]

Rules

Format

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 3 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 winner of the previous round gets to strike one arena
- The loser of the previous round picks one of the remaining arenas
- The round is played on the selected arena
- The loser of the previous round is first sendout

Game
B3P2 Singles
72h DQ, 1 Warning
Abilities: All
Items: ON
Switch: OK
Megas: 1
Z-Moves: 1
Substitutions: 3
Recoveries: 2 per Pokemon
Chills: 5 per Pokemon
Arena: Variable
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 form-changing items or attachments: 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.

Arenas

Tapu Koko

Seaward Cave
This cave accessible from Melemele Meadow is pretty chilly. You’ll find Pokémon that are used to the cold around these parts, blocks of ice lying here and here, and even the air itself is sharper. You could use that to your advantage, but be careful not to trip up!

• Damaging Flying-type moves become Ice-Type (after applying Abilities)
• Damaging Ice-type moves with a BAP of 6 or less always score a Critical Hit.
• The final damage of super effective moves is increased by four (4). This effect is nullified if the user holds an Expert Belt

Codifications
Camouflage: Ice
Nature Power: Ice Beam
Secret Power: Causes flinching
===================
Hau’oli Cemetery
The cemetery near the city of Hau’oli is a place of grief and sorrow, filled with Trainers having lost their Pokémon… and sometimes Pokémon having lost their Trainer. As per tradition, the place is crowded with Ghost-type Pokémon, who gladly feed on the negative energy floating around.

• Spite now raises the EN cost of the three (3) last moves used by the target (if applicable) by four (4). If a move has been used multiple times during the past three actions, the effect stacks (8/12 EN respectively). Spite still applies for six (6) actions
• Grudge now triggers whenever the user takes 16 damage or more, but only lasts six (6) actions. Each player can only have a grudge against 1 move at a time (if they already have an active grudge, they cannot gain a new grudge).
• Ghost Curse now costs 15 EN to perform, but traps the target. Damage from Ghost Curse is increased by 3 at the beginning of each round.

Camouflage: Ghost
Nature Power: Shadow Ball
Secret Power: Causes flinching
===================
Ten Carat Hill
This cave near Kukui’s lab is a rocky area embedded with shiny stones. Breakable stones are a common sight, and it is advised for newer travelers or would-be adventurers to take something to break them, lest they’d find themselves quickly blocked off.

• At the beginning of the match, place a “Stone Barrier” (Arena element) into play (max. 1).
• While a Stone Barrier is in play, Pokémon cannot use contact moves other than Struggle or Rock Smash.
• If a Pokémon successfully uses Rock Smash, remove a Stone Barrier.
• If a Pokemon successfully uses Strength, place a Stone Barrier into play.

Codifications
Camouflage: Rock
Nature Power: Power Gem
Secret Power: Causes flinching
===================
Melemele Meadow
This beautiful flower meadow is covered with yellow flowers. Oricorio usually feast on that nectar, strengthening their Electric abilities and transforming them into energetic cheerleaders.

• All active Pokémon are under the effect of Helping Pom-Poms
  • Helping Pom-Pom raises the BAP of all moves by 50%, rounded up, for a minimum increase of four (4). This is done before Ability adjustments
  • Helping Pom-Pom also raises the EN cost of all damaging moves by 50%, rounded up. This is done before all modifiers
  • Plus and Minus boost the BAP of special attacks by an additional one (1) each

Codifications
Camouflage: Grass
Nature Power: Energy Ball
Secret Power: Causes sleep
===================
Ruins of Conflict
The ruins are supposed to host a sleeping Tapu Koko. However, it appears the island guardian often leaves them to tour Melemele Island. Its residual presence is still felt strongly: the air is crackling with electricity. You would do well to pay respects, otherwise you could anger the Tapu.

• Default Terrain is Electric Terrain. Other Terrain effects have their duration halved
• If an active Pokémon doesn’t successfully use at least one Fairy-type move during the round, it is hit with a STAB Thunder from r7 SpA. This occurs at the end of the Round (after end-of-Round effects, but before switching).
  • This Thunder always hits and always deals damage, regardless of circumstances (it cannot be protected or evaded against, it ignores all immunities, it ignores Substitute, it bypasses Accuracy checks, etc.)
  • If both active Pokémon are KOed, resulting in a tie, the Trainer ordering first during that round is declared winner

We've got another exciting legend gauntlet on deck today. Each of these battlers has already earned one of the island guardians. Let's see who will take home their second!

First Arena Strike Roll: 1 = Gemini Taurus, 2 = epicdrill
Roll d2: 1 (Gemini Taurus)

Gemini Taurus strikes an arena,
epicdrill strikes two areans,
Gemini Taurus chooses an arena and sends out,
epicdrill sends out and orders first,
Gemini Taurus orders second.

 

[Gemini Taurus]

"Well team, another day, another gauntlet! The Alola region was so lovely last time, that I thought we should visit again! I want us to avoid the Ruins of Conflict. We're here for a good time! Not conflict!"

Striking the Ruins of Conflict

 

[epicdrill]

Let's see, I'm sure Tapu Koko is around here somewhere. I don't think a rocky hill or a cemetery are good places to start looking, though.

Striking Ten Carat Hill and Hau'oli Cemetery

 

[Gemini Taurus]

"I think if I were Tapu Koko I'd certainly want to be hanging out around the Melemele Meadow the flowers here are so pretty!"

"Bergamot, since your name comes from a beautiful flower, why don't you get out there and explore! Hold onto your Gengarite just in case you run into anything!"

Travelling to Melemele Meadow and sending out Bergamot the Gengar holding Gengarite

 

[epicdrill]

It looks like there's another trainer here also looking for Tapu Koko! Kira, I think you're a good choice to start us off here.

Leading with Kira the Swampert @ Rindo Berry
Flip Turn, Earthquake, High Horsepower
IF Gengar is to use a damaging Grass-type move, THEN Mirror Coat on the first instance, Protect on the second, and Mirror Coat on the third, pushing actions back each time.
IF Gengar successfully uses a P/E move, THEN Roar on the first instance and Stealth Rock on the second, pushing back actions each time.
IF Gengar is to use Counter AND you are to use a damaging Ground-type move, THEN Earth Power and push back actions.

 

[Gemini Taurus]

"I knew that Gengarite would come in handy! It always seems that we run into a battle when we're going to fight for a legend!"

"This is our first chance to impress Tapu Koko so lets go!"

The battlers end up duking it out at Melemele Meadow, a place where high-powered attacks shine. Gengar does a bit of its ghostly trickery to ensure conditions are optimal for it going forward, but Swampert manages to outpace it in the damage department, mostly thanks to an incredibly strong Mirror Coat. It'll be close; let's see who comes out on top of battle one!

That's one match win done! Now, let's try for another one! I don't like the look of that hill, those rocks don't look very stable.

Striking Ten Carat Hill.

 

[Gemini Taurus]

"Unfortunately that didn't go so well, but its clear that Tapu Koko doesn't want to sit around a peaceful meadow now! Onto the Ruins of Conflict we go! We must prove our resolve and fight!"

"Olive, I know you're always a fighter so its your turn to start us off strong! And take a Life Orb to make yourself even stronger!"

Travelling to the Ruins of Conflict
Sending out Olive the Pyroak holding Life Orb

Well, this is an interesting matchup! I think we should start off with Morgana here.

Ariadex must have been feeling bad for GT after battle one, because Gengar was fully paralyzed not once, but twice this round. Tapu Koko felt like it was time to tip the scales, as it's Thoron Thunder on Pyroak left it paralyzed as well.

"Whoah! A lot certainly happened there, and at least we know now that we have Tapu Koko's attention!"

"I think with the right moves, we should be able to finish this battle off!"

***[CASOA]IF Gengar is to use Phantom Force (evasive) and you are slower, use Solar Beam that action.
***IF Gengar is under the effects of a P/E move when you are to act, use Aromatherapy the first instance and Stealth Rock all remaining instances.
***IF Gengar has Double Team clones when you are to act A2 or A3, use Petal Blizzard the first instance and Incinerate the second instance.

That was one hell of a round! I think we have to rely on RNG to win this. By my calculations, our odds are 1/30.

epicdrill knows that she'll need a lucky break to win this battle. Unfortunately, Pyroak has no trouble dispatching Gengar even through confusion and paralysis. Now we're all tied up at one apiece!

Gemini Taurus sends out second and orders first,
epicdrill orders second.

"That second battle went much better! I'm sure just one more and we'll have Tapu Koko's full attention!"

"I think since it didn't go so well for us last time we'll avoid Melemele Meadow, but be prepared for anything else!"

Striking Melemele Meadow

 

[epicdrill]

Well, that was some bad luck last round with that paralysis. Let's see if we can pull this round out! I think Seaward Cave would be a nice place to have our final battle, Kira, why don't you start us off?

"Well it comes down to this! That opponent is going to be tough, but I think Olive you've got a good shot here!"

"Since we're by the sea, this Luminous Moss should be extra useful here!

***IF Swampert is to use Flip Turn, and Swampert did not use Flip Turn the action prior, and Swampert is not to use Flip Turn the following action, use Protect that action.
***IF Swampert is to use a Partial Trapping move, use Block the first instance.

 

[epicdrill]

It looks like our opponent missed something! By my calculations this will give us a 95% chance to win next round, unless I can find something better between now and then.

Pyroak bombards Swampert with super effective grass-type attacks, but Swampert responds with a strong Bide, leaving both battlers low on health. This TLG is about to come to a close, but who will come away with a win?
