BANNED Moves Challenge! Mikachu vs. Underscore, ref Oslo

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

My battle with Knight of Time is close to the end, and I still have one slot free. This should be something extraordinary. I don't know if we have seen anything like this at ASB before.

In the beginning, there are no banned moves. But each time, both the battlers will have to ban a move. That makes two banned new moves each round. Neither of the battlers can use those moves as soon as they are banned. However, the rule concerning the newly banned move won't come into effect until next round, so you can say, for instance, "use Earthquake thrice, I ban Earthquake " Also your opponent is able to use the newly banned move, but next round, not any more. In the case of moves like Rollout, Fly, Dig, Future Sight etc. you can issue those before they are banned and they still come into full effect afterwards. The banned moves are banned all the way to the end of the battle.

My opponent or the ref can decide which one of us sends out first as well as the number of Pokemon used. As long as it is more than 1 on 1, and one out at a time. As for the arena, unless you have something special in your mind, let's go with just standard stadium or something simple.

[Underscore]

This seems interesting. I accept this battle. ;3
We could go for the standard stadium. And how about a quick 3vs3?
Let's wait for a ref to decide the order of issuing commands.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Wish to confirm something. Do you mean a triple battle? I meant I'd like to have only one out at a time, triple battle would get too complicated me thinks.

[Underscore]

By 3vs3, I meant 3 Pokemon per team to be sent out one at a time.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Okay. So we reached understanding, that's what I meant in the first place. So it's three on three, one out at a time. Suits well. Are you OK if we call off our first battle, nobody wanted to ref it ;_; and this should be more interesting.

[Underscore]

Sure, we haven't even finished a round on the other one so I guess nothing would be lost if it's called off.

[Oslo]

Nifty idea, Mikachu. Will ref.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Excellent! Which one of us sends out first?

[Oslo]

As a result of the coin flip, Underscore will release first. Mikachu will release second and attack first.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Fine. One thing I just figured out, is it okay if you don't ban anything yet, Underscore? Just send out the Pokemon, unless I'm mistaken, you would get an extra turn to ban a move if you went ahead. I'll ban the first move and you get to ban the second move right after that on the same round.

[Underscore]

Sure, I send out Grimer F Stench

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I had to think this for a moment, but now I made up my mind. Go my Male Aerodactyl Mukashi. Ability Rock Head.

For starters, Earthquake.
Next up, Flamethrower.
End with another Earthquake.

Unless she decides to use Attract. In that case Detect if used on the first turn. If she still tries, Protect on the second turn and Fly up high on the last turn. With this strategy I want you not to overdo the Protect.

The first banned move shall be Attract

[Underscore]

Toxic~Thunderpunch~Ice Punch

I ban Earthquake

Acid Armor~Thunderpunch~Thunderbolt

Sub: Ice Punch instead of Acid Armor if Taunted

I ban Bulldoze

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Use Taunt, you are not getting your defenses up.
Let's see if we can take advantage of the Poisoned stats and Facade.
Start a Sky Drop, it will be risky for him to Thunderbolt when we are both flying.

If you get frozen in the process, Flamethrower.

What to ban.. how about Thunderbolt.

Shouldn't Attract and Earthquake already be banned. It should be Bulldoze and Thunderbolt.

Ice Punch~Venoshock~Thunderpunch

EDIT: I ban Taunt :3

[Oslo]

Whoops, forgot to change that last line. Fixed.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Sorry, but is Underscore really attacking before me? Oslo, it seems you copypasted "TEAM UNDERSCORE to command next"?

[Oslo]

Lolol.

You are correct, Mikachu.

You command first and then Underscore will command after you.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

It's okay, everyone makes mistakes.

Sky Drop down.
Double-Edge next.
Iron Tail ends the round.

In the case of Ice Punch, melt the ice with Fire Blast as your next move. Mukashi is Japanese, but he knows Finnish sauna!

Thunderpunch~Venoshock~Venoshock

I ban Substitute

[Oslo]

I know not what you mean.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Mukashi has Rock Head. He doesn't receive recoil damage from Double-Edge.

Roost quickly! If you are too paralyzed and fail, keep trying until you succeed.
After succeeding, Hyper Beam on her.

Let's ban Rest, shall we?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Giga Impact is the way to go!
End with Fly, provided that you are still up.

Unless she tries to Protect, then Roost before Giga Impact.

Banning Toxic

[Underscore]

Shadow Sneak till his down

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Underscore, what move would you like to ban?

Also, I think when while sending new Pokemon to the battle, we shouldn't ban any moves, unless we issue commands in the same post.

[Underscore]

Oops, I ban Thunderwave.
