Lets do this.

Right, Rising_Dusk informs me that I did the turn order wrong, even though I was pretty sure that I was correct. So now, Son_of_Shadoo needs to send out his mons.
Sorry for the inconvenience. :)

No problem. Alright, so in order of left to right, GO, Spiffy, Eoleo, Mia!

EDIT: On an unrelated note, Rising_Dusk, I seriously can't wait to try the Battle Subway once it's open to all of us.

((Yeah, I'm stoked for the Subway to be fully open too. It's almost there!))

Alright, guys, this will be a tough match but let's go for it! First, Feebas, evolve using this match's EC!
Now position yourselves from left to right as follows: Weavile, Lucario, Milotic! This sets up the match as Monohm across from Weavile, Privatyke across from Lucario, and Duskull across from Milotic.

Alright, Weavile! You're up against a terrible match-up here, so you'll have to be a bit crafty! First action I want you to set up a Hone Claws! Second action, I want you to DynamicPunch Privatyke! If Privatyke attempts to set up a Substitute action 1, change your actions to: Taunt Privatyke ~ Hone Claws.

Lucario, you're in a tricky spot. First action, use High Jump Kick on Privatyke. Follow that up with an Aura Sphere to Privatyke as well! If Duskull attempts a Will-O-Wisp on you on any action, replace that action with Detect or an evasive ExtremeSpeed.

Milotic, your moves are important to support the whole team! First action, definitely use Light Screen! This will cover the whole team and protect against Monohm's attacks as well as any other stray special attacks that come out! Second action, Scald Privatyke. If Privatyke attempts to use Brick Break on the first action, change your second action to Light Screen as well!

Weavile:
Hone Claws ~ DynamicPunch Privatyke
IF (Privatyke uses Substitute a1) THEN (Use actions: Taunt ~ Hone Claws)

Lucario:
High Jump Kick Privatyke ~ Aura Sphere Privatyke
IF (Duskull uses Will-O-Wisp on Lucario) THEN (Replace action with Detect or an evasive ExtremeSpeed if Detect has been used already)

Milotic:
Light Screen ~ Scald Privatyke
IF (Privatyke uses Brick Break on first action) THEN (Replace second action with Light Screen)

... Eeyow, I did not expect that evolution. Can we not pick on my little squid? HE'S A PIRATE, NOT A CRIMINAL! ... Oh.

Spiffy, your actions are going to be simple, just direct your Flamethrower at Lucario, then a Signal Beam for Weavile would be nice.

Eoleo, give Weavile an Arm Thrust on action 1. Hopefully that'll have him reeling. But we can't afford to have that screen up, so Brick Break it on action 2. I believe that means Milo has to be your target. If that's not the case, aim for Lucario.

Mia, your actions will be pivotal, but simple. Confuse Ray on Lucario and Milotic.

Summary:

Spiffy - Flamethrower (Lucario) >>> Signal Beam (Weavile)

Eoleo - Arm Thrust (Weavile) >>> Brick Break (Lucario if possible, Milotic if not)

Mia - Confuse Ray (Lucario) >>> Confuse Ray (Milotic)

Action 1:

Right, so this hot triple battle begins, and boy oh boy does it look like today is going to be a fun fight! Weavile, with his blazing speed gets the match going. He runs up the side of a tree, climbing to the top. He then sits there, and Hones his Claws on the tree trunk, before jumping back down, ready for action. Lucario is next, and he doesn't mess around. He immediately jumps up, and launches a Hi Jump Kick into Eoleo's face, and he cringes at the pain before getting up. Lucario smirks, but his job is done for this action. Milotic, who is next to the unfrozen lake, sets up a Light Screen to help her team take some more damage. Now, it seems that it's Spiffy's turn to do some damage, and launches a devastating Flamethrower at Lucario, and that must be payback for what he did to Eoleo earlier. Talking of Eoleo, it seems that he himself is wanting to lay on the hurt, and he Thrusts his tiny Arm with great power, shattering some of the ice the Weavile is made of. Mia finishes of the turn for us here, by launching a strange Ray at Lucario, and it seems that he is Confused!

Spiffy: 7 energy from Flamethrower, 2 damage from Hail
Eoleo: 16 damage from Hi Jump Kick, 2 damage from Hail, 3 energy from Arm Thrust
Mia: 2 damage from Hail, 5 energy from Confuse Ray

Weavile: 19 damage from Arm Thrust (hit twice 15 + 15), 6 energy from Hone Claws
Lucario: 12 damage from Flamethrower, 2 damage from Hail, 7 energy from Hi Jump Kick, intensely confused
Milotic: 2 damage from Hail, 8 energy from Light Screen

Action 2:

So the next action begins, and it looks as though Rising_Dusk is going to be a bit more offensive this time! Weavile gets things going by using DynamicPunch on Eoloe, aiming to get revenge on the damage that it did to Weavile before. Thanks to the accuracy boost from Hone Claws, Weavile's DynamicPunch hits dead on, and it severely confuses the little penguin. Lucario's up next, but as he is intensely confused, he ends up hitting himself instead of Privatyke! What a disaster... Milotic comes up now, and still by the edge of the lake she gathers up some boiling water, and Scalds Eoleo. Unfortunately for Milotic, the result wasn't what she wanted, and Eoleo wasn't burned... Spiffy jumps in after letting off a Flamethrower, and this time he sends out a strange Signal Beam at Weavile, and it definitely seems to get to him, as Weavile falls over into the the snow... After taking a quite a beating, Eoleo comes to try and break the light screen that surrounds Rising-Dusk's team, but he ends up hitting himself as well. My oh my these Pokemon are very stupid! Finally, the rather unnoticed Mia sends out yet another Confuse Ray, and this time it seems that Milotic is in a bit of trouble, as she doesn't seem to know what she's doing anymore!
What a great start to the match!

Spiffy: 6 energy from Signal Beam, 2 damage from Hail
Eoleo: 13 damage from DynamicPunch, 7 damage from Scald, 6 damage from confused attack, 2 damage from Hail, 3 energy from confused attack
Mia: 2 damage from Hail, 5 energy from Confuse Ray

Weavile: 7 damage from Signal Beam, 8 energy from DynamicPunch
Lucario: 3 damage from Confused attack, 2 damage from Hail, 3 energy from confused attack
Milotic: 2 damage from Hail, 6 energy from Scald, severely confused

Lets do this.

Ok, well, we're hanging on. That's a start. I always hate moving first in a turn...

Spiffy, you're first. I want you to launch Flamethrowers at Lucario, I'm sick of his ugly mug. Not much else for you to do for now. But if Lucario tries to evade your attacks via Detect or Extremespeed, try and aim for Weavile.

Eoleo, boy, that turn didn't go well for you at all, did it? Well, you know what we need to do. Brick Break that infernal screen, preferably directing your attack at Weavile if that is allowed. If that goes off on turn one, then use Mach Punch against Weavile. If not, BREAK THE SCREEN.

Mia, let's try Toxicing Milotic. Even with her defense boost from Marvel Scale, the residual damage will be too useful to us. Then, use Disable to stop that Lucario.

Summary:

Spiffy - Flamethrower (Lucario) X2/Weavile if Lucario is going to use Detect/Evasie E-Speed

Eoleo - Brick Break (Weavile if possible) >>> Mach Punch (Weavile)/Brick Break (Weavile if possible) if he hits himself in confusion.

Mia - Toxic (Milotic) >>> Disable (Lucario)

Okay, here we go guys. This is our main chance to get some serious hurt in, so we need to be careful and play our cards right. I can only pray that we don't get annihilated by confusion hax, since these actions are so pivotal to our success and chances of winning.

Alright! You first, Weavile. You're going to lead with a DynamicPunch at Monohm, followed by another DynamicPunch aimed at Privatyke. By the second action, he'll be snapped out of his confusion, so this will refresh it! I can only hope that you survive the onslaught of Fighting-type attacks being thrown at you.

Okay, Lucario. Take that Flamethrower and try to persevere through it. I know it will hurt, but fortunately Light Screen will still be up since Privatyke is slower. Use that moment to Hi Jump Kick Privatyke. On the second action, we don't want the slower Duskull to disable anything critical, so just use Force Palm on Privatyke, hopefully paralyzing it.

Milotic, your actions are the trickiest of them all. First round, I want you to Scald Duskull, hopefully burning it. On your second action, use Refresh to get rid of the Toxic buildup. If, however, Privatyke successfully breaks your Light Screen with Brick Break, set up another Light Screen instead.

Weavile:
DynamicPunch Monohm ~ DynamicPunch Privatyke

Lucario:
Hi Jump Kick Privatyke ~ Force Palm Privatyke

Milotic:
Scald Duskull ~ Refresh
IF (Light Screen is broken by your second action) THEN (Use Light Screen instead of Refresh)

Action 1:

So the next turn begins, and it seems to be an even battle here! Weavile gets things going by launching a DynamicPunch at Spiffy. "Who needs Low Kick?" he says, as the Monohm is smashed into the ground, falling into a severely confused state. Lucario comes up next, and he himself is confused. Not even the cunning fox can work his way out of the horrible confusion, and he ends up hitting himself yet again! He then snaps out of his confusion, ready for the next action. Milotic, who is also confused, hits herself in her confusion, and boy oh boy this is getting ridiculous! She too snaps out of her confusion. On the other side of the battle field, Spiffy, who is also confused, manages to get himself together, and he fires off a Flamethrower at Lucario. Luckily, it seems that Lucario can escape a burn this time, and the Light Screen definitely helps to reduce the damage. Eoleo is next, and he is very confused too; this is a confusing battle! Anyways, he too ends up hitting himself in his confusion. Fortunately, he snaps out of it, and gets ready for the next action. *SIGH* Finally, it's Mia's turn. He, apart from Weavile, is the only Pokemon that isn't confused. So, he takes his time with this next attack, making sure to get it correct. He fires off a Toxic at Milotic, and it hits her dead on, causing her to become badly poisoned. Wow!

Spiffy: 13 damage from DynamicPunch, 2 damage from Hail, 7 energy from Flamethrower, severely confused (3 more actions)
Eoleo: 6 damage from confused attack, 2 damage from Hail, 3 energy from confused attack.
Mia: 2 damage from Hail, 7 energy from Toxic

Weavile: 8 energy from DynamicPunch
Lucario: 16 damage from Flamethrower, 3 damage from confused attack, 2 damage from Hail, 3 energy from confused attack.
Milotic: 1 damage from confused attack, 1 damage from Toxic, 2 damage from Hail 3 energy from confused attack.

Action 2:

So the next turn begins, and once more Weavile gets things going by firing off a DynamicPunch. It hits Eoleo this time, straight in the face, and making him confused yet again. Severely confused; to be precise. Lucario, who has now snapped out of his confusion, comes up and hits Eoloe in the face with a Force Palm, and Eoleo is beginning to look shaken. Milotic is up next, and she uses Refresh to cure herself of the deadly Toxic that inflicts her at the moment. Spifffy, who was recently confused, proceeds to hit himself in the face, like others have done before him. This is getting ridiculous... Eoleo, who is once again confused, ends up actually doing something for once, and he Brick Breaks Weavile right through the middle, while proceeding to break the light screen that surrounds Rising_Dusk's team. Finally, Duskull, who isn't really that much in the action, Disable's Lucario's Force Palm, meaning that it can't be used for another 6 actions.

Spiffy: 1 damage from confused attack, 2 damage from Hail, 3 energy from confused attack. Confused for one more action
Eoleo: 13 damage from DynamicPunch, 11 damage from Force Palm, 2 damage from Hail, 5 energy from Brick Break. Confused for 3 more actions.
Mia: 2 damage from Hail, 6 energy from Disable

Weavile: 28 damage from Brick Break, 8 energy from DynamicPunch
Lucario: 2 damage from Hail, 4 energy from Force Palm (which is now Disabled)
Milotic: 2 damage from Hail, 8 energy from Refresh

Lets do this.

Alright, we took some heavy hits, but finally we're in a position to turn this around in our favor! We can score first blood and set ourselves up to bring home the rest of the match!

Lucario! You first this time. Lead with a powerful Hi Jump Kick to Privatyke! On your second action, Aura Sphere against Monohm to hit his weaker Special Defense!

Weavile, you have to tag team with Lucario to finish off Privatyke. Go for the Night Slash to take it down. Even resisted, this will do enough to KO it. Follow it up with another DynamicPunch aimed at Monohm to refresh its confusion.

And you, Milotic, will continue your barrage. First action, throw up another Light Screen now that Privatyke will be KO'd and unable to remove it. Second action, Scald Duskull to try to burn it once more.

Weavile:
Night Slash Privatyke ~ DynamicPunch Monohm

Lucario:
Hi Jump Kick Privatyke ~ Aura Sphere Monohm

Milotic:
Light Screen ~ Scald Duskull

My my. This is beginning to look bad.

Spiffy, go for the Flamethrower on Weavile, twice. We're going to be concentrating our forces with him now.

Flamethrower >>> Flamethrower (Weavile/Lucario if Weavile faints)

Eoleo, you won't survive long enough to use Recover, or Brick Break. Sadface. That is a MAJOR pain in my ass, but you're going to do a ton of damage first. Combine Aqua Jet and Mach Punch to increase the velocity and power of Mach Punch, and strike Weavile as hard as you can. If you punch yourself in the face, you don't get dinner tonight.

Aqua Jet + Mach Punch (Weavile)

Mia, guess what you're doing?

Confuse Ray (Lucario) >>> Confuse Ray (Milotic)

Action 1:

Right, so this battle is getting to the closing stages, as Dusk has definitely got lucky with the confusion wearing off! Weavile then gets revenge by using Night Slash on Privatyke, and he's very weak now! Lucario then follows up by using Hi Jump Kick, and it hits, knocking out Eoleo! Unfortunately, Eoleo doesn't get to perform his combo, as if loses its priority due to the strong nature of attack. (Read the DATA audit thread for more info...) Milotic is up next, and she sets up another Screen of Light in front of her team. Spiffy comes in now, and he uses Flamethrower on Weavile, despite being confused. Finally, Mia launches yet another confuse ray, and it makes Lucario only slightly confused.

Spiffy: 2 damage from Hail, 7 energy from Flamethrower.
Eoleo: 10 damage from Night Slash, KOed by HJK
Mia: 2 damage from Hail, 5 energy from Confuse Ray

Weavile:10 damage from Flamethrower, 4 energy from Night Slash,
Lucario: 2 damage from Hail, 7 energy from HJK. Slightly confused.
Milotic: 2 damage from Hail, 8 energy from Light Screen.

Action 2:

The next action begins, and Weavile gets things going with a DynamicPunch on Spiffy, sending him into intense confusion! (Rising_Dusk jumps for joy!) Lucario then tries to fire an Aura Sphere at Spiffy, but he ends up hitting himself in his confusion! Luckily, he snaps out of it, ready for the next turn. Then, Milotic aims a Scald at Duskull, but it doesn't burn the floating skull (which for some unknown reason does not have Levitate...) Spiffy then tries to retaliate with another Flamethrower at Weavile, and this attack is successful, even though Spiffy is confused. Finally, Mia fires off yet another Confuse Ray, and boy this is getting really repetitive... Milotic becomes intensely confused.

Spiffy: 13 damage from DynamicPunch, 2 damage from Hail, 10 energy from Flamethrower. Severely confused.
Mia: 13 damage from Scald, 2 damage from Hail, 5 energy from Confuse Ray

Weavile: 10 damage from Flamethrower, 8 energy from DynamicPunch
Lucario: 3 damage from confused attack, 2 damage from Hail, 3 energy from confused attack.
Milotic: 2 damage from Hail, 6 energy from Scald. Intensley confused...

Click to expand...

((I brought this up just now to the leader of the dojo and he apologized and said he would look into it so it doesn't happen to others))

Okay, as predicted, Privatyke goes down and Weavile has enough HP to survive a few hits before dropping. Thankfully, Privatyke didn't just use a normal Mach Punch instead of that combo, because the hit would've really weakened Weavile! ((Shadoo, if you're interested, read the section about combos having -1 from normal priority here. Your combo moves normally have +1 priority, but -1 from being a combo, so +0 in the end and thus went after my Pokemon)) Anyway, let's move on and hopefully put this into a better position.

Weavile, with your Hone Claws finally out, we need to take advantage of the confusion and really put Monohm out of commission. You'll survive double Flamethrowers at the least, which is critical to the success of the team. I want you to double Ice Punch right into Monohm, giving no quarter! If Monohm faints before your second action, Duskull shifts to the middle position automatically, so Taunt it!

Assist Weavile in that assault, Lucario! Lead with a Hi Jump Kick into Monohm! This will definitely KO it, but who knows. If it survives, use Aura Sphere on it on your second action to finish it off. If it does get KO'd by then as it should, then Detect Duskull's Will-O-Wisp to block it! This will also protect you against Milotic's Surf!

Milotic, you have a pretty easy job, as you don't really have to do anything except attack Duskull and wear it down. He will succeed at that Pain Split, unfortunately, so just chill on the first action to prevent yourself losing too much HP to Pain Split. Follow it up with a powerful Scald to him that will hopefully burn it!

Weavile:
Ice Punch Monohm ~ Ice Punch Monohm
IF (Monohm faints) THEN (Replace second action with Taunt to Duskull)

Lucario:
Hi Jump Kick Monohm ~ Detect
IF (Monohm is not fainted by second action) THEN (Replace second action with Aura Sphere to Monohm)

Milotic:
Chill ~ Scald Duskull

Action 1:

The match is coming to a close, and the end begins with Weavile Punching Spiffy with an Icy fist, and that definitely puts a dent into our Dragon. Lucario follows up, and he smashes Spiffy with a Hi Jump Kick, and he's really taking a beating now! Meanwhile, while all this goes on, Milotic just Chills out. Spiffy then tries to retaliate, but he hits himself in confusion! This sure is depressing... Finally, Mia uses Pain Split on Milotic to get some revenge, and that's just what he gets, despite is costing him a lot of energy!

Spiffy: 19 damage from Ice Punch, 18 damage from Hi Jump Kick, 1 damage from confused attack, 2 damage from Hail, 3 energy from confused attack.
Mia: 15 damage regained from Pain Split, 2 damage from Hail, 37 energy from Pain Split.

Weavile: 5 energy from Ice Punch.
Lucario: 2 damage from Hail, 7 energy from Hi Jump Kick.
Milotic: 16 damage from Pain Split, 2 damage from Hail, 12 energy regained from Chill. Severely confused.


Action 2:

So the next action begins, and things are really starting to get to the closing stages now! Weavile once again gets things going, and he fires yet another Ice Punch at our Spiffy, and it knocks him out cold... Milotic is up now, and she fires a Scald at Mia, and finally, a burn is inflicted on the floating skull. After a few of our Pokemon Blissey nurses examined it after, the found it to be a burn of the second degree. Mia then wants to launch a Will-O-Wisp at Lucario, but he Detects, causing the wisp of flame to do nothing but waste Mia's energy.

Spiffy: KOed by Ice Punch.
Mia: 13 damage from Scald, 2 damage from Hail, 2 damage from Burn, 7 energy from Will-O-Wisp.

Weavile: 8 energy from Ice Punch.
Lucario: 2 damage from Hail, 7 energy from Detect.
Milotic: 2 damage from Hail, 6 energy from Scald. Slightly confused.

P.P.S. Still can't get a sprite for Monohm... Apologies

Looks like we got lucky with that confusion and burn in the last round, guys! Thanks to the hax gods for that one! Let's go ahead and put an end to this once and for all! Now that Monohm has fainted, Duskull shifts to the middle position to front all of our attacks!

Weavile, lead by Taunting the Duskull finally. That will prevent him from attempting to Confuse Ray or burn his way through us! On your second action, strike him hard with a Night Slash!

Okay, Lucario, you're going to use Dark Pulse directed at Duskull for your first action, maybe flinching him. On your second action, charge up to him and Crunch him head-on!

And lastly, Milotic. You finally burned him! Don't smash yourself in confusion, and just keep using Scald on him until he finally goes down! I want you to Scald instead of Surf so that you don't damage Lucario with your attacks!

Weavile:
Taunt Duskull ~ Night Slash Duskull

Lucario:
Dark Pulse Duskull ~ Crunch Duskull

Milotic:
Scald Duskull ~ Scald Duskull

The forest is definitely getting colder now! Weavile gets things moving once again by Taunting Mia the Duskull. This stops him from doing anything but attacking for the next round. Lucario is next, and he hits Mia with a Dark Pulse. Against all odds, we get our first Critical Hit of the match, and the wave of darkness even manages to make Mia flinch! Wow, that was a hell of a lot of hax, all from one move! Milotic is next, and she fires some boiling hot water at Duskull, Scalding the outside of his, well, skull, despite being confused... (The RNG loves you this time Dusk...)

Mia: 19 damage from crazily haxed Dark Pulse, 13 damage from Scald, 2 damage from Hail, 2 damage from Burn.

Milotic: 2 damage from Hail, 6 energy from Scald. Confused for one more action.


Action 2:

I get 6 ref counters.

Good job guys, have fun spending counters!!!

Lets do this.

GG Dusk, not that I really stood a chance. Heh, and here I was hoping to get an evo or two out of this. Trololol. Again, can't wait for the Subway to get started proper. I'll have my revenge there!

Well, you would've gotten a KO out of it if you had used Mach Punch instead of the combo. Also, you're right, the confusion was a bit much. I got lucky in the last few rounds to hax you there. To be honest, when you issued the challenge and said "Use unevolved Pokemon, but if you use evolved ones that's ok too" I was convinced you'd pick like Lickilicky and Nidorina and stuff! When I saw your chosen 3 I felt a little bad. :(

Anyway, gg, and may we yet match up against each other later on so you can have a proper battle!

Blame the Dojo. Eh, to be fair, we're both guilty for the confusion. No, I wanted to try and train these three a bit, get them up to stage 1. And now I'm one counter away for each.. Damn it :L Nah, don't feel bad, it's fine, really. Yes, we'll fight again soon!
