Rules:
Matezoide's team
<Binacle> [Diego] (M)
Nature: Adamant (+1 Attack, -1 Sp.Attack)
Type:
Water: Water STAB; Ignores arena restrictions on Water attacks that require an external water source. Evasive Diving reduced from 6 per action Energy Cost to 5 per action.
Rock: Rock STAB; Adds an additional level of Priority (+0 to +1, +3 to +4 etc.) on naturally occurring level-up, egg, tutor, or TM attacks that increase only defense, special defense, or prevent damage (Full list: Acid Armor, Amnesia, Barrier, Defense Curl, Detect, Harden, Iron Defense, Light Screen, Protect, Quick Guard, Reflect, Skull Bash, Stockpile, Wide Guard, Withdraw). Reduced damage from all special attacks by two (2) Base Attack Power during Sandstorm, immune to Sandstorm damage. Ignores Arena restrictions on Rock attacks requiring an external rock source.
About: A Binacle that hails from an unnamed island, Diego showed immense fighting potential to his peers, being relatively unmatched by other Little Cups. With the exception of one: Laura, the Inkay.
For a long time, Laura was regarded as the most powerful Basic pokemon on the island, which Diego hated. After all, despite being younger than her, the Binacle was regarded as a genius for fighting and, after challenging her title, the Rock/Water type managed to block her Superpower at the last second and turn the tables around, earning him the victory and the title he believed to deserve.
However, much to his surprise, the Inkay returned with a human after a few days. Despite having improved much since their last meeting, the Binacle couldnt help but feel afraid. Neverthless, he was forced to accept her challenge and, once their attacks colided, the battle resulted in a tie.
Angered at this, Diego forcefully entered Matezoide's party, for he knew Laura would return far more powerful one day and he could never allow her to surprass him.
Since then, the two have become huge rivals, constantly competing against each other, but his rivalry isnt limited to her, and instead, his sights are centered around the entirely of Matezoide's team, but especialy the Pokemon Leader, Steve. Diego is determined to defeat the fighting type in combat and get his position as the leader, proving his superiority once and for all.
Abilities:
Tough Claws (Passive):
This Pokemon has sharp claws that enhance the power of all of its contact attacks by two (2) BAP.

Command: Activate Pickpocket (ally) - 5 En - Trade items with target ally.
Sniper (HIDDEN ABILITY LOCKED, Passive):
This Pokemon has deadly accuracy and strikes sensitive points, increasing its critical hit bonus from +3 to +5 on single attacks, +2 to +3 on two-hit attacks, and +1 to +2 on multi-hit attacks.

<Pumpkaboo> [Vivi] (F)
Nature: Quiet (+ Sp.Attack, - Speed, -10% Evasion)
Type:
Ghost: Ghost STAB; immune to the effects of full trapping moves and the Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, and Shadow Tag abilities. Ghost types can switch out while affected by a partial trapping move, but they will be damaged every action by their effect.
Grass: Grass STAB; immunity to Leech Seed, Worry Seed, and all "Powder" based attacks (Poisonpowder, Powder, Rage Powder, Sleep Powder, Spore, Stun Spore).

Type Exclusive commands can only be used by Pokemon that are naturally that type, and are still available if the Pokemon changes type.
Command Type: Type Exclusive | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 5 | Priority: 0 | CT: None
About: Vivi originates from a small village, where the Pumpkaboo are loved by it's inhabitants due to their unique abilites of carrying souls to their resting place. Tired of always having some dude inside her, Vivi eventually fled. The other Pumpkaboo, however, were less than thrilled and thus, she was quickly followed to be taken back.
Eventually, she came across a huge labyrinth, where she met a Honedge that, understanding her, helped her hide for several months there, alongside the other pokemon that lived there.
After the heat was down, Vivi left, but her new friend decided to follow. Both were eventually captured by Matezoide. Much to her luck, he already passed through the village and left Kalos soon after.
Abilites:
Pickup (Passive):
This Pokemon has a natural habit of collecting items. Whenever a hold item (its own or an opponents) is thrown away with a move like Fling, or knocked onto the ground with a move like Knock Off, this Pokemon will immediately pick up that item without using an action. It can also grab dropped or naturally occurring hold items in arenas.
Frisk (Passive):
The Pokemon has intimate knowledge of the opponent's held item and ignores any item-based increases in damage or status. The Pokemon will not be affected by Fling or Natural Gift.
Insomnia (HIDDEN ABILITY LOCKED, Passive):
This Pokemon is immune to sleep induced by other Pokemon. It's normal state of sleeplessness makes it take 1 less damage and energy/action from Ghost Curse. If it is put to sleep by a Pokemon with Mold Breaker it will wake up the next action. If a Pokemon with Insomnia also has Vital Spirit, its accuracy is raised by one (1) stage permanently.

<Inkay> [Laura] (F)
Nature: Quiet (+1 Sp. Atk, -15% Spe, -10% Evasion)
Type:
Dark: Dark STAB; ignores Attract and Confusion status entirely when using Dark-type damaging and non-damaging attacks.
Psychic: Psychic STAB; can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.
About: Just an Inkay found during his travels, Laura engaged and managed to defeat Trent in direct combat, much to Matezoide's shock. However, as she attempted to swim away, the Froakie used the last of his strength to bring her back to shore, where she was engaged and finally defeated by Randall. She, however, managed to break free from every pokeball with sheer will alone, managing to impress everyone. Noticing something was wrong, Randall curiously asked her what was wrong, when Laura revealed that a Binacle called Diego had taken her title as the strongest Little Cup on the beach, the Inkay admited she would never leave like that. Agreeing to join the team if she managed to overpower Binacle, Laura trained day and night, eventually meeting up with Binacle and, after a long battle, tied with him.
Realising her title was now shared with him, Laura agreed to travel with Matezoide and his pokemon in order to train and eventually, defeat him. The Binacle, however, did not wish to stay behind and went with them as well. Now with both back to the Smogon region, Laura and Diego are constatly competing against each other. As can be noticed from taking a look at them, Laura loves to fight, but is considerably calmer than her rival.
Abilities:
Contrary (Toggle):
No default effect. When toggled, this Pokemon's unique structure reverses stat changes it receives in battle, from both its own attacks and those of other Pokemon. At the end of the round, stat changes will still increase/decrease towards 0.
Suction Cups (Passive):
This Pokemon has sticky suction cups that anchor down to prevent it from being moved or scared away by Roar or Whirlwind. It will hold its ground against Dragon Tail and Overhead Throw and not be forced out in a switch battle.
Infiltrator (HA LOCKED, Passive):
Through a combination of speed and cunning, this Pokemon easily circumvents the effects of Light Screen, Mist, Reflect, Safeguard, and Substitute with all its attacks.
