Croagunk(*) Mr. Bubbles (M)
Nature: Naughty (Adds * to Attack; Subtracts * From Special Defense)
Type: Poison/Fighting
Poison: Poison STAB; immunity to Poison/Toxic, see and breath through smog/smokescreens uninhibited. Dasutodasu, Muk, and Weezing inflict Toxic Poisoning with Solid/Liquid/Gaseous Poison attacks (respectively), Wrap, Haze, and Glare have Energy Cost reduced by one (1).
Fighting: Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions of throwing/grappling moves, Meditate and Cheer Up have Energy Cost reduced by one (1).

Abilities:
Anticipation: (Innate) This Pokemon is better at sensing dangerous attacks, and takes three (3) less damage from super-effective attacks, Selfdestruct, and Explosion.
Dry Skin: (Innate) This Pokemon has spongy, yet sensitive skin, causing it to burn in bright sunlight for damage but absorb water and heal damaged tissues in rain. This effect results in dealing 2 damage/action to this Pokemon in sunlight and recovering 2 HP/action in rain. It also makes the Pokemon weak to fire, but it absorbs the damage of water attacks and recovers HP when struck instead.
Poison Touch (DW): (Can Be Disabled) This Pokemon's body is covered with a film of poison. Whenever it hits an opponent with a contact attack, that opponent has a 30% chance of being Poisoned. When disabled, all this Pokemon's Poison-type attacks will inflict Toxic level poison.

Our battle today will took place in a strange place, on a sort of fence between abundance and wasteland. Corph doesn't like so much the environment, and quickly (well, relatively) runs towards the pond of water. The Croagunk easily intercepts him and strikes him with a deadly Cross Chop.

Nonetheless, the Corphish manage to reach the lake, even if still harassed by a swift Vacuum Wave sent to his back by his foe, and begins to sharpen up his pincers in a Swords Dance. Mr. Bubbles quickly (less relatively, this time) catches upon the opponent and mauls him with yet another Cross Chop, but this time Corph retaliates with a polished Vicegrip. The Croagunk feels somehow relieved by being in the water, however he finds himself less agile than usual...

[doominic77]

Ok I got to get on the offense.

First use Vicegrip to hold him in the water then use Metal Claw. Finally go for another Vicegrip. If he goes out of the water focus the Vicegrip on pulling him back in.

Vicegrip -> Metal Claw -> Vicegrip

 

[Temperantia]

Ok Croagunk, first aim a Vacuum wave at the corphish to hit him b4 he can grip you and try to push him away. Then, Cross chop the corphish and follow up with another Vacuum wave to push him away again. You're amphibious so being in the water shouldn't bother you too much.

Mr. Bubbles attempts to repel the assault of Corph with a swift Vacuum Wave, but the little lobster swims forward at inusual speed and grabs him in a painful Vicegrip.

The Croagunk vengefully retaliates with a Cross Chop, but the Corphish is unphazed by the attack (albeit heavily wounded) and pierces through his skin with his sharpened Metal Claws.

Mr. Bubbles, despite the water mending his wounds slowly, starts to feel weakened and tired, and tries to keep that damned son of a... err, fish, away^^ The quick Vacuum Wave he fires off however doesn't prevent Corph from squeezing the frog with another Vicegrip.

[Temperantia]

Let's finish the lobster!
Cross Chop, then Vacuum Wave and then just Chill after he's gone. If Cross chop misses, use it on the 2nd action and use Vacuum Wave on the 3rd. If Cross chop kills it, Chill 2nd and 3rd actions.

Cross Chop -> Vacuum Wave -> Chill

Cross Chop (Miss) -> Cross Chop -> Vacuum Wave

Cross Chop (KO) -> Chill -> Chill

 

[doominic77]

Use Protect first to block his Cross Chop, then use Vicegrip and Vicegrip again.

Protect -> Vicegrip -> Vicegrip

Ya did good Corph!

Mr. Bubbles starts to feel the blunt of the fight, and attempts to quickly put an end to the match with a Cross Chop. However, Corph promptly Protects himself, and the Croagunk's attack end up bouncing on the barrier summoned by his opponent.

The Croagunk is not satisfied by the result, and assaults again the foe with a deadly Cross Chop. This time the move hits its intended target, but the Corphish retaliates with a brutal Vicegrip. Mr. Bubbles sorely suffers as he's squeezed by the critical hit.

The end is nigh for the crustacean, however, as the frog seals the match with a swift Vacuum Wave which takes down the last fighting in his body and knocks him out.

[doominic77]

Lets go Chomp!

First go for an Earthquake. Next if he found some fancy way to dodge the first Earthquake use Earthquake again. If not use Dig. Finally use another Earthquake to (hopefully) knock him out.

Earthquake -> Dig/Earthquake if he dodged the first one -> Earthquake

 

[Temperantia]

First Bubbles, let's take a breather just Chill and don't worrry about that first Earthquake because we want him to use Dig. While he's digging give him a nice, healthy dose of his own medicine with Earthquake. Finally, if the description of the move is accurate you can use Fake Out then and prevent that 2nd Earthquake. You might just barely survive this round yet...

Chill-> Earthquake -> Fake Out

Mr. Bubbles reaches the edge of the water pond in order to come out and Chill while doominic sends out his next Pokémon. Out of the Poké Ball comes Chomp the Trapinch! Without losing time, the termite instantly sends a seismic wave in all directions, causing a massive Earthquake under the Croagunk's feet.

Looking to finish his enemy as soon as possible, Chomp exploits Mr. Bubbles' apparent exhaustionand burrows underground. However the Croagunk's unability to react was only a facade! With cunning reflexes, Mr. Bubbles pays his debt with the opponent and causes an Earthquake on his own. The Trapinch, albeit severely hurt by the seismic waves, manages to shrug off the worst consequences and makes the Croagunk fall into a Dig from below. The "kiss with the ground" is too much for Mr. Bubbles, who can't manage to recover from the blow and faints!

[doominic77]

My Tranpinch learned Crunch after the battle started, does it still count? If it does can you update it.

E: Also my Trapinch's ability is Arena Trap.

 

[Temperantia]

Let's go, Venipede! First, we'll start out offensively with a Bug Bite! Follow it up by surrounding Trapinch with Toxic Spikes. Finally finish the round off with a harsh Screech. If Trapinch uses Dig on the 2nd turn use Defense Curl.

Bug Bite-> Toxic Spikes -> Screech
Or if Dig is used on 2nd turn
Bug Bite-> Defense Curl -> Screech


Edit: w/ Swarm

 

[doominic77]

First use Dig to avoid the Bug Bite then stay underground till after he puts down the Toxic Spikes and use Earthquake to collapse the ground under the Toxic Spikes rendering them useless and finally cover your ears (does Trapinch even have ears) to try and block out the Screech or at least only make it a -1 def drop.

Dig -> Earthquake (to collapse the ground under Toxic Spikes) -> Cover your Ears

Out of Temperantia's Poké ball comes Dokuto the Venipede, eager to pick up the slack. He immediately looks for his opponent, but in the meantime Chomp already burrowed underground in a Dig! The Venipede, since his opponent is nowhere to be seen, reinforces himself with a Defense Curl, but suddendly the ground shakes under his little legs as Chomp causes an Earthquake from underneath! Sadly, the seismic waves also squeeze the Trapinch fairly hard and cause him to take some damage.

Dokuto emits a defeaning Screech to try and lower Chomp's defenses, but several meters of sand and rock divide the two, making the noise unable to reach his intended target!

[doominic77]

First pop out of the ground and use Sand Attack to blind him, next use Sand Tomb to trap him and drag him underground and finish with a deadly Earthquake

Sand Attack -> Sand Tomb -> Earthquake

E: Also I used Dig on the first turn so technically he should've used Toxic Spikes instead of Defense Curl.

 

[Temperantia]

Well, we can dodge that Sand Attack by Curling into a ball Defens(e)-ively and covering your eyes. Then we can Rollout (while still curled up) to bypass that Sand tomb and hit him dead on. (If it's the same as in the games, Rollout's power should increase used after Defense Curl). And Finally, after closing in on him, give him a Bug Bite! If for some reason He's underground and we have to chase him down, give Pursuit down the (antlion) rabbit hole for your 2nd action.

Defense Curl (to protect eyes) -> Rollout -> Bug Bite
If for some ungodly reason he can Sand Attack while underground and I have to chase him
Defense Curl-> Pursuit -> Bug Bite

The Trapinch decides it's time to stop hiding and comes to the surface, hitting harshly the Venipede on his way out. Dokuto instinctively protects himself in a Defense Curl, avoiding the Sand-attack of his opponent.

One moment after, he start spinning swiftly on himself and smack Chomp in a Rollout. The termite does not seem to be really damaged by the attack, but opts for caution and envelops the other bug in a Sand Tomb.
While the Venipede is hopelessly immobilized, the Trapinch summons a shocking wave across the soil, causing yet another Earthquake under Dokuto's little legs. Luckily for him, this causes his sandy prison to dissolve.

[Temperantia]

Okay Venipede, now that we've got the distance barrier overcome, give him the ol' one-two with Twinneedle! Follow this up with one heck of a Bug Bite. Finally, Defense Curl, but if on the last turn he tries to hide by using Dig, use Pursuit to chase him down!

Twinneedle-> Bug Bite-> Defense Curl
or If Dig is used on last turn
Twinneedle-> Bug Bite -> Pursuit

 

[doominic77]

First use Earthquake to do some damage. Then use Dig and finally pop up and use Earthquake.

Earthquake -> Dig -> Earthquake

Also sorry about the long wait time, (please don't DQ me).

 

[Temperantia]

I second the no DQ. Also, Bump.

Now Dokuto closed upon Chomp, and gives him a warm welcome with a two-timed Twinneedle. The first needle penetrates deeply into the Trapinch's soft skin, resulting in a critical hit. The second hit is less painful, but injects some nasty toxins inside the opponent's battered body, poisoning him. Chomp retaliates with a destructive seismic wave, but Dokuto's hardened body resists the Earthquake decently.

The Trapinch opts then for an underground assault, but before he can burrow its way undeground, the Venipede manages to catch him with a Bug Bite. Not long after, the termite erupts from below and causes a Dig under Dokuto's feet.

The Venipede seems to love defensive play, and opts for hardening his shell again in a Defense Curl. Chomp attempts to thwart his attempts with a shattering Earthquake, but Dokuto's defenses are still strong...
