Quick and easy 2 on 2! Underscore vs. KoT (ref: Oslo)

[Oslo]

Pretty straightforward. I'm offering to ref a 2 on 2. We'll use Indigo Stadium and there are no banned moves.

Who's up for it?

[Underscore]

I'm in!

[Knight of Time]

I'm in too...be prepared for a tough one, Underscore!

[Oslo]

Cool!

*flips a coin*

Underscore releases first. Kyle attacks first.

[Underscore]

Alright! Go, Yamask (F Mummy)!

[Knight of Time]

Ugh...this may be tough for both of us.

But, I'm still not holding back. Gemini, once again I need your assistance!

Gemini is my male Sableye, and his ability is Prankster. He also has been tutored Hex since his last battle.

Gemini, this may be your toughest opponent ever, but you're just as tough as she is, so let's show her you're not here to go easy on her.

Start by using a barrage of Dark Pulses on her.

As for subs, be ready to Snatch anything you can Snatch (including Imprison...Oslo, as of Generation V Imprison can be Snatched in the games...does that apply here too?), or Magic Coat anything Magic Coat-able (once again, Oslo, I need to ask another question, can Disable be Magic Coated like in the Generation V games and beyond?). Or if you are somehow unable to use Dark Pulse, use Shadow Ball instead.

[Underscore]

So you Magic Coat anything you can?
Yamask use Fake Tears. No worries if it reflects back.

So you Snatch anything you can?
Yamask use Pysch Up. This way he gets the decrease too. Then let him Snatch your Rest.

Fake Tears~Psych Up~Rest

I used Serebii as a reference for what's Snatch-able and Magic Coat-able though.

[Underscore]

And our Movelist says Psych Up is Snatch-able. Sorry for double posting but I forgot to mention that and it might be cheating to edit the post.

[Oslo]

My impulse is to say that Imprison is indeed Snatchable, but maybe you should ask Darkly and Grey because maybe there was a reason that little detail was omitted from the Movelist? It might not be Snatchable after all. I'd say Disable is definitely Magic Coatable, though.

Good luck, little ghosties! Begin! Yamask starts with a string of high-pitched, ugly sobs in an attempt to lower Gemini's guard. Gemini makes a disgusted face and kicks up a Magic Coat. Yamask looks up into the reflective surface of the Magic Coat and catches a glimpse of her own Fake Tears. Her Special Defence drops. Her dignity drops even further.	-8 EP

Gemini, once again I want you to keep using Sleep Talk until you wake up, then go for as many Dark Pulses as you can! Hopefully you won't end up getting Mummy here by mistake, unless you manage to do a Shadow Claw in your sleep.

As for subs (if you wake up), be ready again to Snatch anything you can (EXCEPT Rest), or Magic Coat anything you can reflect back. Don't let this fellow ghost think you are a pushover, because you certainly are far from it!

[Underscore]

See if he wakes up the first action. If he doesn't, use Calm Mind. If he does, use Hex. If he's still asleep next turn, Imprison his Dark Pulse. If he wakes up, use Night Shade. And finally a Hex.

Calm Mind/Hex~Imprison(Dark Pulse)/Night Shade~Hex

I hope I used Imprison right.

[Knight of Time]

Uh, Oslo, just wondering, but are you factoring in Gemini's dual Ghost and Dark typing each time he is hit with a Ghost or Dark type move? Unless he already is, he should be taking neutral damage from said moves.

[Oslo]

Yes, I am taking that into account. I know the damage output for Hex looks a little high. Basically, the move is doing double damage because Gemini has a Status affliction. On top of that, you have Yamask's Special Attack boost, Gemini's double Special Defence drop and STAB increasing the damage.

[Knight of Time]

That's what I thought. Anyway, Oslo, you might want to fix Yamask's stat changes in the "post-round" part of the last round.

[Underscore]

Night Shade~Hex~Hex

In order of priority:
Protect against combos that deal damage.
If you're health is or below 16 hp, use Endure.
Use Snatch if he uses Substitute, Recover or Moonlight.

[Knight of Time]

Ugh...I feel like I'm battling a genius. But I still have plenty of fight left in me!

Gemini, use Taunt so that she is forced to attack, then use a combo of Substitute + Pain Split (presuming your health would be at 19% after that Night Shade, make a Substitute of about 18% health then use Pain Split IMMEDIATELY once the Substitute is up, before the poison knocks you out)!

Oh, I hope this works...if it doesn't, my thinking cap may fall off sooner than I thought in this battle.

Alright Gemini, I'm relieved our plan from the last round worked. Yamask has been a pain for pretty much the entire battle, but playtime's over. Yamask, get ready to be schooled!

Since you're the faster ghost, let's use a Dark Pulse combo (three of them)! With your opponent still Taunted, that should finish her off before she can do another thing to you.

[Underscore]

One powerful Hex would be enough. If you could pull that off before a 2nd Dark Pulse projectile would hit you, then he's going down too. This round's over but well played for the both of us.

[Knight of Time]

Okay Gemini, I'm sorry you didn't get to use Hex here, but at least Machop is both Toxic poisoned and confused.

'recalls him'

This situation calls for another Ghost-type Pokemon of mine...Preying Mantas, I need your assistance!

Preying Mantas is my male Frillish, and his ability is Cursed Body.

Alright Preying Mantas, time to deep-six this little fighter.

Start with a combination of Safeguard + Taunt, then use a Psychic to throw him at the nearest wall!

In the event that he manages to make clones despite your Taunting, Shock Wave them out of here, or if he manages to injure himself on his first action due to his confused state, I want you to just Taunt him, but follow it up with a second Psychic used like above (to throw him at the nearest wall).

[Underscore]

I think Shockwave would just automatically locate the right Machop and hit it but not hit all the clones, ref's discretion anyway.

Protect~Payback~Thunderpunch/Swagger

Swagger on the third action only if you're not Taunted that time.

Start by Imprisoning Sleep Talk if you can (if not, use Dream Eater), then use Dream Eater on your remaining actions if Machop is asleep, or if he wakes up, use Psychic on those actions.

If Machop wakes up, be ready to use Snatch on anything Snatchable (except for Rest), or Magic Coat on anything Magic Coat-able.
