Deadwood_Zen vs Knight of Time (Ref: DarkestLight)

[Knight of Time]

Uh, just wondering DarkestLight, but does Drain Punch always recover more health for the user if it's used in a combo with at least one other physical damaging move?

I'm just a little intrigued at Quiggles regaining 20 health from this combo, that's all.

[DarkestLight]

Yeah. It would be weird if you hit someone with a combo move, say like Giga Drain + Tackle, and it hit for ... 16, but you only got 5 health back. Since you caused damage and a part of that was with an attribute to heal, you get more health back.

Its like if you hyped up your attack, your healing properties would rise since you inflicted more damage.

And there's the matter of the defense drops of Yaj as well. Woulda been less :O. Maybe

[Deadwood_Zen]

Magikarp, I choose you!

First, do nothing with a Splash, then waste another move with Splash! Then realize you've done no damage, and hit him with a [/i]Flail[/i]!

[DarkestLight]

Errrrr putting breaks on.

You do realize you don't have to use Magikarp in order to evolve it?

Lemme rephrase. There are a select few Pokemon whose movepools are too shallow in order to battle effectively. Here in ASB , we've set up a system in which you can use points to evolve them so that battling with them can be done easier. I believe its all explained in the first page of the Approval Tower.

[Knight of Time]

I'll let Deadwood_Zen handle his choice, yeah, buddy, you probably wouldn't want to use a Pokemon with a poor movepool in a battle, that's one of the reasons why they don't need experience to evolve (Magikarp, Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Beldum, Burmy, Kricketot, and Combee all fit the list).

Feebas isn't on the list because they can use TMs, unlike Magikarp (I know this because I used a Feebas in one of my early battles here, who is now a Milotic).

[Deadwood_Zen]

I know. I just went a little... over the top yesterday. I was dealing with a lot of shit, and just vented out on here(and a few other sites)nso I'm sorry about that.

I knew that, and Kot, you told me I didn't have to in one of the first posts, but I made that decision, and now we just have to live with it. Resume play.

[Knight of Time]

Okay...

Quiggles, Thunderpunch twice, then I'm going to recall you, being as I still have a third Pokemon, I might as well let it come out.

===Round 9===

Quiggles looked on with a slight stupor as Yaj was recalled, and replaced with a flopping Magikarp. The Spinda let one fist crackle, as the Karp splashed about. But one well aimed punch let that fish know it was quite possibly in a different league.

Mag: -2E/-12H ===///=== Qu: -6E

Quiggles did it again! Karp did it again!

Mag: -2E/-12H ===///=== Qu: -6E

Mag now went for the real hit, but Quiggles disappeared from view. Karp landed in a patch of dust, completely missing.

[Knight of Time]

I'm sending out a Pokemon in need of experience here, Spinarak, come on out!

Trap your opponent in a Spider Web, then use Giga Drain twice.

[DarkestLight]

Actually, you only..Oh I see what you did thar. Neever mind.

[Deadwood_Zen]

Magikarp, do it again!

[DarkestLight]

Ahh, and that's where we pause again.

Deadwood, you can't swap Magikarp out. That was your last Pokemon as per the restrictions on the match (3 on 3) S'why I asked you if you wanted to switch before. 'Fraid yer gonna have to put him back in and give Magikarp attacks.

[Knight of Time]

Indeed. But I'll gladly have a rematch with you someday Deadwood_Zen if you want...whenever you have some evolved Pokemon, we'll battle again.

[Deadwood_Zen]

Okay, I understand. I edited my post.

===Round 10===

Karp, still flopping round, watched as a new competitor came to the field. Out came a Spinarak, whom seemed none too interested in this battle. Karp would show him! He flopped around a bit...and that's really all he did.

Spinarak fired off a webbing, holding Magikarp in place.

Mag: -2E ===///=== Spin: -3E

Karp did it again! Spinarak then linked minds with the flappy fish, and drained a sickening amount of health away,

Mag: -2E/-16H ===///=== Spin: -8E

Spin kept the drain going, leaving Karp pretty tuckered out. But that's when the Flail hit, knocking Spinarak back a bit. That actually hurt!

Mag: -6E/-16H ===///=== Spin: -8E/-10H

[Knight of Time]

Hopefully this will be the only time I (or anyone else, for that matter) face a Magikarp in battle...

On the other hand, if I was using a Magikarp in battle, I'd be using a certain damaging move more often than Tackle or Flail...hopefully it's legal here since my Spinarak is weak against it.

[Deadwood_Zen]

What move? All Magikarp's know is Splash, Tackle and Flail.

Snuggles! Keep Flailing until the spider is out!

[Knight of Time]

They can get Bounce via PokeWalker...I dunno if it's legal here though.

Spinarak, keep yourself in this with another trio of Giga Drains.

[DarkestLight]

Its legal, its part of the HG/SS lineup. Deadwood , lol use a Pokedex website like Serebii or Psypokes to check what moves your Pokemon can use. Since its inclusive of every generation, you may find some hidden gems along the way.

===Round 11===

Glad the fish could not leave, Spinarak began draining the fish summore. As health was returned, it was stolen by a flurry of fins and ferocity. No sir, this fish wasn't done yet.

Mag: -6E/-13H ===///=== Spin: -8E/+8H/-11H

Spinarak winced at the flapping fish, but continued to drain. Strange, the flailing got stronger.

Mag: -6E/-13H ===///=== Spin: -8E/+8H/-13H

Spin kept the drain going, leaving Karp pretty tuckered out. But that's when the Flail hit again, knocking Spinarak back a bit. That actually hurt summore!

[Knight of Time]

Spinarak, keep on using Giga Drain, this should be over fairly soon.

[Deadwood_Zen]

I used Serebii, but it mentioned nothing of Bounce. I don't even know what it does... O:

Snuggles! Use Bounce, then keep Flailing 'til the end!

===Round 12===

Spinarak scuttled over and tried to establish a link once more, but this fish was ridiculous. It shot SKY HIGH. Spinarak stared at the Fish as it bounced in the air....

Mag: -3E ===///=== Spin: o.O?

Up high, Magikarp now flailed a lil before falling down to earth once more, Must me that waterfall scaling ability in use right now, as it slammed in Spinarak. The spider flipped backwards, pained from being squished, but sucked the last bit of health away.
