YAS and Frosty in "Playdate gone wrong!"

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING, ASB FANS! Did somebody call a babysitter? I didn't, but these two battlers sure did! Let's see how the grown-ups handle the care (and battle training) of their little partners. Let's review the rules:

2v2 Babysitter singles (1FE/1LC)
Training items
24H DQ
3 susbtitutions
All Abilities
Switch=OK
2/5 Recoveries/Chills
ASB Arena

And now, for our contenders!

TEAM YAS
When a mysterious Fox Pokémon appeared just outside Silver's home town, many trainers tried to approach it in order to catch it. However, the tiny Pokémon managed to avoid capture, amid strange rumors that it had mystical powers. One day, without warning, she approached Silver when he was alone in the tall grass, her eyes engulfed in pink flame. In complete silence, Zelda touched Silver's hand with her snout, and a deep bond formed. It was then that Silver decided to leave in search of--something. Whatever it is, it remains as mysterious as the fiery fox.
Zelda is usually shy towards strangers, but has no problem with telling Silver what's on her mind. She has a mysterious aura around her, and one gets the sense that she has a great yet untapped power. She has somehow managed to get a hold of--and finish--eight of the fourteen Fire Emblem games, and her love for FE: Awakening ensures that, on average, 17% of Silver's monthly income is dedicated to FE:A DLC's. She feels a particular affinity for Emmeryn, and cries every time she replays Chapter 9.

Let's pretend I understood why sending chimchar with no drought is a good idea

Slowpoke with Heart Scale


Surf - Water Gun - Surf
IF
Dig AND NOT Encore on the following action THEN Future Sight on the first instance, Chill on the second and slack off on the third and push back
IF Flinch THEN push back

Faia is caught in an extremely bad matchup, but seems to have plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Can he get through Slowpoke's defenses?
action 1

chimchar used assist! -3 EN
energy ball=<3333, solarbeam=<6667, foul play=<10000
7716, chimchar used foul play! -7 EN
crit check =<625, 1896 NO
it's super effective!
((10 + 4.5 - 4.5) * 1.5) = 15 damage to slowpoke

slowpoke used surf! -6 EN
crit check =<625, 4458 NO
it's super effective!
((9 + 3 + 4.5 - 1.5) * 1.5) = 22.5 damage to chimchar

action 2

chimchar used assist! -7 EN
energy ball=<3333, solarbeam=<6667, foul play=<10000
2248, chimchar used energy ball! -7 EN
crit check =<625, 9088 NO
it's super effective!
((9 + 3 - 3) * 1.5) = 13.5 damage to slowpoke
effect check =<1000, 5159 NO

slowpoke used water gun! -2 EN
crit check =<625, 7520 NO
it's super effective!
((4 + 3 + 4.5 - 1.5) * 1.5) = 15 damage to chimchar
chimchar was drenched! (3a)

action 3

chimchar dug underground! -5 EN

slowpoke used future sight! -7 EN
slowpoke foresaw an attack!

chimchar used dig! -5 EN
crit check =<625, 8664 NO
((8 + 3 - 4.5) * 1) = 6.5 damage to slowpoke

chimchar: -38 HP, -34 EN
slowpoke: -35 HP, -15 EN
The damage trades were surprisingly even this round. But, Faia's bag of tricks won't last forever. Let's see how YAS adapts ordering first.

This probably won't work. But we can't find out until we try!

390.png

Encore - Assist [Zelda's Foul Play / SolarBeam / Energy Ball] - Assist [see A2]
[IF] a P/E move is used, use Slack Off that action instead and push back. Do not trigger consecutively.
[IF] Magic Coat is used when you would use Encore, use ThunderPunch on the first instance, Slack Off on the second, Assist [Zelda's Foul Play / SolarBeam / Energy Ball] on the third, pushing actions back each time.
 
One action of useless future sight for one action of encore. fair trade

Future Sight - Future Sight - Surf
 
Ffff I can't believe I forgot this.

With Encore used up for what could be interpreted as a bad trade, the uphill battle between these type-clashing Pokemon continues.

slowpoke received an encore!

slowpoke used future sight! -7 EN
but it failed!

chimchar took the future sight attack!

energy ball=<3333, solarbeam=<6667, foul play=<10000
8045, chimchar used foul play! -7 EN

it's super effective!
((10 + 4.5 - 4.5) * 1.5) = 15 damage to slowpoke

slowpoke used future sight! -7 EN
slowpoke foresaw an attack!

action 3

chimchar used assist! -7 EN
energy ball=<3333, solarbeam=<6667, foul play=<10000
912, chimchar used energy ball! -7 EN
crit check =<625, 710 NO
it's super effective!
((9 + 3 - 3) * 1.5) = 13.5 damage to slowpoke

slowpoke used surf! -6 EN
crit check =<625, 5263 NO
it's super effective!
((9 + 3 + 4.5 - 1.5) * 1.5) = 22.5 damage to chimchar

And with LoA and my own forgetting of this aside, we can get back to this match. A small oversight here leaves Heracross wide open to Pain Split, as its Earthquake on A1 didn't quite get the job done. Ninetales was able to take this extra HP as well as the incoming Feints to do incredible damage under the harsh sun and even out the playing field. Without re-applying the speed drop, Ninetales goes back to having the speed advantage after this round, too. At least Heracross has Swarm active now, right?
action 1

heracross used earthquake! -7 EN
crit check =<625, 5725 NO
it's super effective!
((10 + 9 - 4.5) * 1.5) = 21.75 damage to ninetales

ninetales used pain split! -35 EN
ninetales shared the pain with heracross!
ninetales: +25 HP
heracross: -25 HP

action 2

heracross used feint! -4 EN
crit check =<625, 8606 NO
((4 + 9 - 4.5) * 1) = 8.5 damage to ninetales

ninetales used fire blast! -7 EN
accuracy check =<9800, 3969 YES
crit check =<625, 3796 NO
it's super effective!
((11 + 4.5 + 3 - 4.5) * 1.5) = 21 damage to heracross

action 3

heracross used feint! -8 EN

Endure means Ninetales is just barely hanging on. With the last round of sun around the corner, how will Slowpoke react? Will Slowpoke even react at all?
(also i forgot to account for regenerator so i fixed that)
