Gang War!! FlamingFighter VS Master Bane

[FlamingFighter]

Sorry about the really long post.

...WHOA THAT IS ONE SUPERCHARGED FIREBLAST. o.0
In related news, I am screwed beyond all possible belief. FireShroom=
OK, Fireshroom, that was...um...good...effort you showed out there last round, but we MUST win this! For Starscream!

Use your heightened forest senses and do your best to stay out of the way of the Fire Blasts! (Just asking, but has the evasion boost for Shroomish been factored in? After all, we are in a naturally-lit forest, and the Grass typing description says it has "heightened senses in forest areas" and "more mobile in natural sunlight," which I interpret to mean "greatly increased evasion when Sunny Day is active in a forest (~10-20%)." That's your call, though; do as you wish.)

As for my moves, after 5+ hours of thinking, typing, deleting, more thinking, researching, retyping, and even more thinking, I HAVE AN IDEA!!!

Swords Dance ~ Drain Punch/Focus Punch if Sub is intact ~ Self-Toxic (to activate Poison Heal)
If Fire Blast misses on first action or first two actions:
Self-Toxic ~ Swords Dance ~ Focus Punch/Drain Punch if no sub
If, by the power of the hax gods, all three Fire Blasts miss, replace last action with Chill.
If Fire Blast misses on second action:
Swords Dance ~ Self-Toxic ~ Focus Punch/Drain Punch if no sub
If Fire Blast misses on last two actions, replace last action with Chill.

EDIT: Also, if pimpgangster would allow FireShroom to combine Focus Punch & Drain Punch into an attack that focuses, then releases a 20 BAP punch that heals 1/2 of damage dealt and costs 20 energy, replace all Focus Punches above with said combo. IMMEDIATELY.

 

[FlamingFighter]

As of now, pimpgangster has officially DQ'ed.
Will go get subref immediately.

 

[FlamingFighter]

As of now, Lyris1035 is the new subref!
He has a 3-day DQ as of now.
(Sorry for the triple-post)

 

[Lyris1035]

Round 11

Swords Dance ~ Drain Punch/Focus Punch if Sub is intact ~ Self-Toxic (to activate Poison Heal)
If Fire Blast misses on first action or first two actions:
Self-Toxic ~ Swords Dance ~ Focus Punch/Drain Punch if no sub
If, by the power of the hax gods, all three Fire Blasts miss, replace last action with Chill.
If Fire Blast misses on second action:
Swords Dance ~ Self-Toxic ~ Focus Punch/Drain Punch if no sub
If Fire Blast misses on last two actions, replace last action with Chill.

I'm not sure about these substitutions...

Use your heightened forest senses and do your best to stay out of the way of the Fire Blasts! (Just asking, but has the evasion boost for Shroomish been factored in? After all, we are in a naturally-lit forest, and the Grass typing description says it has "heightened senses in forest areas" and "more mobile in natural sunlight," which I interpret to mean "greatly increased evasion when Sunny Day is active in a forest (~10-20%)." That's your call, though; do as you wish.)

Using senses to dodge is not an option until I can confirm, and how can Shroomish use punching moves without fists? Oh well.

FlamingFighter -> Master Bane -> Me (please call me a female person, OK?)

 

[FlamingFighter]

As of the last round, I had a sub up. Houndour broke my sub, and FireShroom put a sub up afterwards, so I should be alive for 1 action.

BTW, the substitutions should be OK, seeing as my Fire Shroom moves second. If it moved first, there'd be a problem, as neither me nor my Shroomish have psychic powers.

EDIT: Also, how did Houndour gain 20 energy? If the Pokemon is defeated, nothing happens afterwards.

Double EDIT: Oops, was reading thread backwards. Carry on.

 

[FlamingFighter]

OK, FlickerFlame, let's do this! You just have to beat this almost-full-health Houndour. That has a Sunny Day-boosted 96% accuracy STAB Fire Blast. And is faster than you. And you can only use 7 moves. And only 3 of them actually do damage. And the strongest one is resisted by the Houndour. And the other 2 are off of your weaker Atk stat. And then you have to defeat a Machop afterwards. (We're . Just plain .)

Well, since we're in the forest, at least we have trees to use at our advantage!

First, use your String Shot to create a basic slingshot between 2 trees. Then, use Take Down on the Houndour to force him back into the slingshot and send Hell Hound flying back into the lake upon release!
Afterwards, take time to start recovering HP with Morning Sun!

In summary:

String Shot/make slingshot ~ Take Down/force Hell Hound into sling shot/send him flying into or towards the lake ~ Morning Sun

IF, for some strange reason, the slingshot is foiled, then just use Take Down ~ Solarbeam.

 

[Master Bane]

All right Hell Hound, you did great! Let's just finish off this bug and win this!

Start off with Fire Blast, then use Ember to melt the string shot and finish with another Fire Blast!

[Master Bane]

Your doing great great! Keep up the pressure with Fire Blast, Nasty Plot, Fire Blast! If it tries that sling shot trick again, melt it with ember again.

EDIT: What's up with the energy usage? For Round 11, action 2 is should have been 15 energy, Round 12, action 1 should have been 19 (or 7 again because action 3 nothing happened). Does increased energy carry over between KOes? If not, Round 11 action 1 should also be 7. I guess it doesn't matter that much because Machop knows Rock Slide. Still I'd like this clarified.

 

[FlamingFighter]

...Master Bane, you do realize you have 4 energy left? 4. Not 24. Not 34. Not 14. 4. That's 3 more than 1.
Poor suicide dog. If Master Bane edits his actions, hang on for me to edit mine.
FlickerFlame, just use Morning Sun twice, then chill as he kills himself.
EDIT: Before you ask, no, Master Bane, you may not edit your actions. I want to win. To win, I need a chance to win. I will not pass up a chance to win.

[Master Bane]

Um, why did Hell Hound faint?

 

[Lyris1035]

The fire blast was too much energy, so out of exaustion it was KO'd.
EDIT:

What's up with the energy usage? For Round 11, action 2 is should have been 15 energy, Round 12, action 1 should have been 19 (or 7 again because action 3 nothing happened). Does increased energy carry over between KOes? If not, Round 11 action 1 should also be 7. I guess it doesn't matter that much because Machop knows Rock Slide. Still I'd like this clarified.

Not sure about this, but an answer will be coming soon, My mind is all boggled up!

 

[FlamingFighter]

Seeing as Master Bane's last Pokemon is his Machop, it'll automatically be sent out.
(I already KO'ed his Mount Doom. Did you think I didn't? Jeez, I'm not THAT bad of a battler.)
Alright, FlickerFlame, your usable movepool has opened up to 10 moves! HUZZAH! Let's start using them!!

First, use Will-o-Wisp and fry the evil Machop with a nasty Burn. Then, use your newly available Zen Headbutt and bash Machop into a tree. As a grand finale, fire a Solarbeam while the sun is still active and throw that Machop into a house of pain!

BUT!!! If Machop uses Rock Slide, dodge it the first time only, and shift all actions! (How a larva is almost 2x as fast as a male bodybuilder, I have no clue.)
Thanks for reminding me about your Rock Slide, Master Bane! I almost forgot.
Also, if Machop uses Bulk Up, use Morning Sun the first time, then shift your actions over one!

Furthermore, should Will-o-Wisp miss for any reason (read: due to hax), use it until it hits!

In summary:
Will-o-Wisp ~ Zen Headbutt into tree ~ SolarBeam

If Machop uses Rock Slide, Dodge it once.
If Machop uses Bulk Up, use Morning Sun once.
If Will-o-Wisp misses, use it until it hits.
If any of these substitutions come into play, shift actions over one; don't replace the original action with the substitution.

EDIT: I've never seen anything saying you can only have 1 substitution before. Ah well.
Oh, and you forgot to say "resisted" in your list of DynamicPunch adjectives.
And I am not a flam fighter. I do not waste my time with flam. Flam is useless. If you must shorten my name, Flame or FF is fine. But no flam.

 

[Master Bane]

Um, flamfighter, Hell Hound's energy use still needs to be fixed. He should have at least 16 more energy. In addition, your only allowed one substitution.

I suppose it doesn't really matter, I'll let the energy use stay the same so we can get this battle finished up.

Machop, take the Will-o-Wisp and respond with DynamicPunch for Guts boosted, STABed, confusion inducing pain! Follow up with 2 Rock Slides!

 

[Lyris1035]

Think TWICE, Bane, your Machop doesn't even know DynamicPunch!

 

[Master Bane]

I could of sworn I taught it to him before this battle. If you'll let me, I'd like to change it to Rock Slide, Bulk Up, Rock Slide.

Sorry about the dropped e, Flame :)

OK, Bane, I'll recalculate now!
