So go ahead!

And somebody plz ref this, I hate waiting years

[Emerald_Gen.3]

In b4 all the refs

I will ref this but if you don't want me to because I'm going to be going on vacation that's ok

[Oslo]

Btw, Ed, you're over the battle limit. :T You've got this one as well as your battles with Ayeun, Em, Wolfsong and Ash. The last two haven't been picked up by a ref, obvs, but they still count toward your limit, so you're going to have to officially cancel one of them so you have a slot open for this battle.

[Edretah]

Yea ima say no on that one Em. Sorry bud

And Oslo, Ayeun's battle is a Gym wich doesnt count towards my 4. And I am gonna officially cancel both ash and wolfsongs cuz nobody picked those up. Are you gonna ref this?

[Oslo]

Gym battles do count toward your four slot limit if you're the challenger. Only Gym Leaders get an extra slot for Gym battles.

If no one has picked this up in a few days I'll see if I have time to ref it.

[Emerald_Gen.3]

Gym battles do count toward your four.

Oh don't I know this too well

[Puma]

Oh well, didn't even see that one's up already.
I think I'll stick with Chocofresh my male Hippopotas with the Ability Sand Stream.

It'd be nice if you ref this one Oslo! (:

[Edretah]

I agree and oh! I didnt know that I thought it was for everyone not just leaders!

I choose Squirtle F Rain Dish


Aqua Ring ~ Hydro Pump ~ Surf

[Puma]

Urgh, may I have one battle without type/evolution disadvantage :'D
Doesn't matter I guess, you'll do your best Chocofresh!

Prevent the nasty healing later on by unleashing Toxic on him!
After that, protect against the Hydro Pump and use Attract to stop the Surf!
Use your chocotastic charm! (Oh god that sounds so wrong)

[Toxic ~ Protect ~ Attract]

[Edretah]

Nicely done lol

• ROUND ONE •

G'day, guys and dolls, and welcome to another super-exciting battle in the heart of Indigo Plateau! Why, I was here only yesterday completing my LeafGreen Nuzlocke! (I named my rival Assbag lololol.) Today, Edretah will be squaring off against newcomer Puma to determine who's the fiercest fighter in all the forum. They release, summoning a petite turtle and a vapidly adorable hippopotamus who lets out a sneeze and kicks up a wayward Sandstorm. Gesundheit. Anyway, let the Pogeymon battling begin!SQUIRTLE [-3 HP; +3 HP; -3 HP] is treated to a Sandstorm, Aqua Ring and Toxic medley. He comes out of it only a little worse for the wear.

• POST-ROUND •

NOTES:

• At 0 EP, Pokemon will lose 1 HP for every 2 EP consumed
• Unless overcome, Squirtle will remain under the effects of Attract for nine more actions
• TEAM PUMA to command next

[Puma]

I r fabulous!
(Oh god, I shall never say that again, EVER.)

Okay Chocofresh, since we didn't even attack once last turn, let's get to it!
First, duplicate yourself to irritate the lil' turtle! Then block his movement with Sand Tomb, so the following earth quake is unavoidable by squirtle shenanigans!
In case he tries some nasty status infliction on the first turn, use dig instead, prepare a substitute underground and dig back up afterwards with mighty power!

[Double Team ~ Sand Tomb ~ Earth Quake]
Sub: [Dig Down ~ Substitute (Medium) ~ Dig up]

[Edretah]

Relax your mind to get out of attract, Focus yourself ~ Surf ~ Another hydro pump

[Edretah]

Alright, so the relaxing didnt work. Six actions.. i can handle it.

Hydro Pump x3

One of them is probably going to miss

[Puma]

That did work out quite well! Anyway, time for some amazing coward tactics!
Since we are probably going to be hit by one of the pumps anyway, we might as well try to avoid as much damage as possible!

First, dig down, and create a clone of yourself beneath the ground! Then, start ramming him and hide behind your clone if he happens to hydro pump all over your face!

Alright! We might get into trouble soon,but you're doing well Chocofresh!
The Attract should aid us next round, so we need to do something now! Or wait. Nah. We just start chilling! Start the round with Slack off to regenerate at least a bit of HP, as the substitute should block incoming damage. Now start to get your things together! Stockpile!
If he wants to POISON OUR EFFORTS (Oh god, please, don't punch me in the face), use Protect at any given time!

[Slack off ~ Stockpile ~ Stockpile]

Ey, you don't want my looove?
Anyway! Let's do this! We should have a fair bit of special defense now, none the less, let's go on protecting the first hydro pump, just in case, ey?
Then, stockpile once more, and finish the lil' turtle off with all you got!

[Puma]

Amazing! Good Job Chocofresh, you are going to get a giant dessert for yourself if you win this! Finish the turtle off, one hydro pump/surf shouldn't be enough to knock us out, so, without further ado, Chocofresh, start it off with a Bulldoze! If it avoids or protects from that in some way, just go for an Earthquake, followed by another Bulldoze.
However, if he DOES get knocked out, just chill. Relaxing is the best way to finish an exhausting battle!

[Puma]

Urgh, that did not work out as planned AT ALL.
Anyway, I think I'll stick with Spinnerella, my female Joltik with Compoundeyes.

[Edretah]

I choose Diglet! M Sand Force

Earthquake ~ Earth Power ~ Earthquake

Sub Protect for any status moves

[Puma]

Ah, we are playing that game now.
I am not going to let Type advantages decide this battle too!
Let's quote Oslo here: "Let's get switchical!"

Spinnerella, you did a... uhm... great job I guess? Anyway, Carlos needs to take this challenge now. Take the earthquake, and let's get this fight going!

Carlos, start it off with Scald, then follow with Surf! We shall avenge the damage Spinnerella got!

Urgh, I thought that would deal a lot less damage. Anyway, we can't change that!
Let's be super creative and just tripple the surf action!

If he tries to do some nasty status ailments, protect at any given time.
(I'm sorry for the boring commands, but, what am I supposed to do xD)

I choose to Switch to Tentacool! M Clear Body!

Gig Drain x3

If he switches back to Jotlik, switch back on the same turn and use Earthquake remaining reactions

[Puma]

No, no, no. That's not going to work out this time!
Carlos, since switching won't do us any good, do your best. Start out with Flash, to hopefully avoid and stop these Gigadrains, afterwards, Psychic him to Narnia!

NOTES:

[Puma]

I think I might have an idea.
Carlos, let's get a little creative here. Since he's probably going to Giga Drain thrice once again, which is pretty creative, set up all the defenses necessary and flash him once more. Use the time to rest a bit, so we get a fighting chance!

If he tries to inflict any status, set a safeguard up at any time, and if still possible, execute the light screen/flash combo, if however, it's not possible afterwards, just slack off. We need the health.

[Light Screen + Flash ~ Slack off]
Sub: Safeguard against status ailments

[Edretah]

Aqua Ring ~ Look away and use Payback after the flash ~ and then Giga Drain all the energy out of him while he rests

[Oslo]

Okay, Oslo is confused.

I was looking over the previous round and realized, ohwaitderp, Clear Body Pokemon are immune to Flash. I fixed the round and then looked at Edretah's Vs. Seeker where I saw Tentacool's ability listed as Liquid Ooze, not Clear Body. I then went through the Approval Tower and saw Tentacool never even had an ability registered/approved.

Yeah. :U Help?

EDIT: Okay, Ed, I was going through some of your other battles and you seem to be a lot of discrepancies.

- Your Houndour was approved with Early Bird but your Vs. Seeker and this battle list his ability as Flash Fire
- Your Vs. Seeker lists your Cyndaquil's ability as Flash Fire but this battle has his ability as Blaze... and I can't find any Approval Tower post in which you got a Cyndaquil approved?
- Your Gallade doesn't have an approved ability (but your Vs. Seeker mistakenly lists it as Synchronize even though as a Ralts/Kirlia it had Trace)?

And that's just from a couple minutes of skimming. Point is, try to be more careful with your Vs. Seeker/Approval Tower posts as well as the battle posts in which you list your Pokemon's specs. If you don't keep this info as precise as possible, it's hard for anyone (yourself included) to know what Pokemon/abilities/whatever you have.

[Edretah]

Wow, im messing up hard. My fault Os. Btw, I didnt know you had to get abilities approved with every pokemon. Every time I get a new pokemon I have to approve his ability? I sincerely apologize on my part, I shouldve known the rules better. Will fix when I get a minute.
