"I mean, really, I'm content with my Mega Gengar here - this isn't about the prizes any more. Still, don't think I'm not planning on winning this!"

Cinderace w/Expert Belt is our lead!

 

[S0L1D G0LD]

"If nothing else, the free natures will validate this entire tour. The difficulty of unlocking one is, frankly, excessive, given how essential they are to obtaining viable Pokemon."

Judgment @ Binding Band

Whirlpool - Fire Spin - Scald
If successful p/e move use Rain Dance on the first instance, and use Surf on the second instance, pushing back in each case.
If unsuspended d/e move outside of a combination, use Dive that action and push back.
If Cinderace is set to use Bounce in a combination and Cinderace suspended Bounce on the previous action, use Dive that action and push back.

 

[Dogfish44]

"Eh, Natures are just about easy enough - one day we're going to add a '50 JC: Get Your Nature' thing mind, just you wait! Oh, right, the battle thing. Hmm... damage race? Damage race. Yeesh, Binding Band is certainly a move... please miss?"

Our final match begins with the last two challengers taking to the field. Dogfish sends out Cinderace, and Gold counters with Judgement the Volkraken.

Cinderace uses it's type-changing abilities to deal solid chunks of damage to Volkraken, and constantly avoiding taking a Super-effective blow! Volkraken sensing it's foe may not be easy to hit with strong attacks, instead tries to trap its opponent in a series of traps that will slowly deal damage over time.

At the end of the first round it seems Gold is ahead, although a speedy Cinderace means Dogfish may be able to dodge strong attacks to win this matchup!​

Damage: (10+3+2) = 15
6EN

Cinderace was knocked out!

It appears that Cinderace is ready to cause some more massive damage and throws itself at its opponent again, crackling with electricity! Volkraken takes a hefty blow and not wanting to take more attempts to frighten the speedy rabbit!

It appears to work as Volkraken quickly follows up with a bite into the side of Cinderace, leeching some of its vitality and restoring a bit of its own. The combination of the fear and the fresh wound seem to have been a lot for Cinderace as the next electrical barrage is significantly weaker than the last two.

Volkraken finishes off the Cinderace with a massive burst of hot air, the consistent damage from the whirlpool and spinning fire from lasd round, combined with the barrage of attacks this round was just too much and Cinderace must return to its trainer.

The match is still very close here folks! Dogfish may be behind in numbers, but not by much! And with the ever important second order, who knows what will happen next!​

If Counter and you are not set to use Focus Blast, use Focus Blast and push back.
If Kangaskhan is underground when you would act, use Earthquake on the first and third instances, and use Bulldoze on the second instance, pushing back in each case.

Both trainers send in replacements, ultimately ending with a Darmanitan vs Kangaskhan matchup! The powerful pokemon trade some strong blows, with Kangaskhan ultimately ending up ahead due to its brute strength with strong normal-type attacks! With its defense raised and ready to take some more attacks, it seems that Kangaskhan has helped even the ground for Dogfish! Stay tuned to see what happens next!​

Calculations

Action 1

Kangaskhan --> Darmanitan

Kangaskhan used Stomp!
Crit [<=1]: 18
Flinch [<=3000]: 2119
Damage: (10+3+1)+4 = 18
6EN

Darmanitan flinched!

Action 2

Kangaskhan --> Darmanitan

Darmanitan used Endure!
Darmanitan is bracing itself!
15EN

Kangaskhan used Toxic!
Darmanitan was badly poisoned!
7EN

Darmanitan was hurt by its poison!
1 Damage

Action 3

Kangaskhan --> Darmanitan

Kangaskhan used Stomp!
Crit [<=1]: 19
Flinch [<=3000]: 9821
Damage: (10+3+1)+4 = 18
Darmanitan braced itself!
6EN

Darmanitan used Power-Up Punch!
Crit [<=1]: 23
Damage: (4+2)*1.5-4+4 = 9
Darmanitan's Attack rose!
4EN

Darmanitan was hurt by its poison!
1 Damage

Darmanitan was knocked out!

Kangaskhan's defence decayed!

An unfortunate flinch brings Kangaskhan a KO over Darmanitan, and without taking much damage! With that, dogfish definitely appears to have taken the lead, but there is still much of this battle left, and with both trainers having a powerful suite of pokemon in the back its too close to call!​

S0L1D G0LD I know you're on LoA but just a friendly reminder for when you get back!

 

[S0L1D G0LD]

(Expert Belt should trigger on PuP)

"Well, what do you know; they always told me I had two left feet."

Palutena @ Expert Belt

[Trace --> Inner Focus]

Focus Blast - Moonblast - Focus Blast
If damaging Normal- OR Steel-type combination and you are not behind a Substitute, use Protect that action and push back.
If Kangaskhan is underground when you would act, use Substitute (15 HP) on the first instance, Future Sight on the second, and Light Screen on the third, pushing back in each case.

 

[Dogfish44]

My orders also assume that Expert Belt has ben applied and that Kangaskhan is now at 40 HP

"Hmm... time for another dice roll? I do enjoy winning those. Kangaskhan, please learn Bounce, you're a Kangaroom for pity's sake..."

"Bouncing would be painful for the little one!!!"

Skull Bash ~ Giga Impact ~ Dizzy Punch

IF Focus Blast misses A1 THEN Disable (Focus Blast) A2, Skull Bash A3​

 

[Gemini Taurus]

The end of round has been fixed, Kangaskhan has 40HP at the start of the round.

Action 1

Kangaskhan --> Gardevoir

Gardevoir Traced Inner Focus!
6EN

Kangaskhan tucked its head!
+1Def

Gardevoir used Focus Blast!
Hit [<=7000]: 6454
Crit [<=1]: 5
-SpD [<=1000]: 852
Kangaskhan's Special Defence fell!
Damage: (12+2)*1.5+4 = 25
8EN

Kangaskhan used Skull Bash!
Crit [<=1]: 17
Damage: (13+3+1)+4 = 21
7EN

Action 2

Kangaskhan --> Gardevoir

Kangaskhan used Giga Impact!
Crit [<=1]: 14
Damage: (15+3+1)+4 = 23
9EN

Gardevoir used Moonblast!
Crit [<=1]: 16
-SpA [<=3000]: 9897
Damage: (10+3+2)+2 = 17
6EN

Kangaskhan was KOed!

Strong blows are traded between the new sendouts leaving Kangaskhan knocked out and Gardevoir with more than a few bruises! With the opportunity to counter Gardevoir with a new send-in Dogfish definitely is looking to still be in a good position, but Gardevoir's plethora of tricks, who knows what will come!​
