We’re getting closer! The next round should eliminate one and allow this battle to progress. However, whoever wins this 1v1 is going to have very little HP and EN to deal with the next opponent.

Alright, let's see if we can do something clever


Probably not


Can;t hurt to try at this point.

Future Sight | Draining Kiss | Confusion

IF opponent uses life dew A1 THEN Imprison (Life dew, Psychic, Calm Mind)
IF opponent uses damaging psychic type combo A1 THEN Draining Kiss

"Oh, here's something I can teach you: you can't use Future Sight if the previous FS hasn't hit... and it hits at the end of the action!"

Unless I calced something wrong, Indigon’s Ralts pulled out the KO, doing the exact amount of damage necessary. And that even with wasting a turn on attempting another Future Sight! However, that won’t help it too much with a faster Croagunk as its next opponent.

Well, I guess my best chance here is to hope for burns or flinches, I'll need every chance to do it I can get, but luckily Croagunk here at least has dry skin and low defenses.

"You won't get many flinches with a -2 priority combo... I'd also like to point our that, had you calced your damage (which is really important!), you'd have found out that 2 Fire Fangs do more damage than the combo."
"Ah, now here's something more tasteful. Would you like to become a masterpiece? I'll begin the preparations right away!"

It’s all coming down to these last two Pokémon, with both losing about half of their HP in one round! Indigon’s Houndour is winning the damage race (with help from a lucky burn), but that poison damage is going to start adding up. TMan87’s Croagunk was put at an immediate disadvantage due to its Dry Skin, but it’s starting to stack up the damage. One way or another, it’s looking like this battle won’t last much longer.

Toxic and Burn should go in the post-round.

"To be honest, combos are good to stack effect chances, so maybe you were actually really smart here. The world may never know!"
"Do not resist art! It transcends your feeble mortal form and grants you immortality!"

[INDIG0N]

It's generally good to assume that if I did something smart, it was on accident. In this case though, I was only really worried about flinching if you used revenge. That move is scary.


You're telling me. Ya accidentally scorch one bunnelby cause you got spooked by a ghastly and suddenly everyone starts screaming something about "Doomslayer".


. . . uuuuuhhhh, anyway, I was actually trying to stack the burn chance there. Guess it worked


Honestly, I'm just surprised you can put up with Simeon's trash talk Baal


Well she does live with you. We're kinda desensitized at this point.


Well then, Baal, why don;t you "resist art" to finish this off with a violation of the Geneva conventions?


With pleasure, besides, I already have immortality.


Wait, you what?
