Heyo, as a Dedicated Dark and Darker spammer, I can try to help.

The turn 2 Enamorus switchin was ambitious, sash Pult is likely running some kind of status. In this matchup, I would've gone Kingambit turn 2, even if Pult carried Will-o, this is a pretty weak MU for King and you would've been able to force pult out.

I'm curious as to why you sacked Darkrai on turn 6? Sludge Bomb never kills from that range and Darkrai would've been hugely valuable against Wogerpon and Landorus, as well as being an additional sack down the line. Kingambit would've been the much safer play, either going for a raw Iron Head or an SD if you felt ambitious.

The Zama switchin on turn 7 was unfortunate, Custap isn't really a tech you could've accounted for, but it is something to think about. Hatterene most commonly runs Leftovers or Eject Button, neither of these options should be ringing some alarm bells as to it's item choice. Again Kingambit would've been the cleaner choice to finish Hatt off, keeping Zama healthy was incredibly important here against Lando and Wogerpon, as well as the opposing Zama.

The rest of the game was kind of just heavily in their favor, Post Turn 12, it was probably already lost, you maaaaaaybe could've Iron Defensed on turn 11, but Encore was always an option after the Trailblaze + the Ivy Cudgel Crit Chance.

Is a passed Sticky Barb considered a Status or a Held Item for the purposes of interacting with the opponent?

EX: If BE Roaring Moon Knocks Off a Clef switch-in, is it now holding the Sticky Barb or just flagged as having a "Barbed" Status? In turn, does this Moon transfer the SB if it switches into something like a Trick user on a later turn (specifying Trick or a move interaction vs Contact since that's how the item initially works already)?

So I'm not entirely sure if I understand your question but Sticky Barb does act like a regular item and will act like normal if it is tricked to another Pokemon. If they are hit by a contact move, the Barb will transfer to that Pokemon regardless of how you received the item.

Primary thing was if it worked like an item on the receiver (essentially Sticky Barb becomes your held item) vs something like a status that inflicted passive damage (akin to Splinters in LA for example). That would affect things like interacting with Knock Off while the KO user is holding an item for example.

That answers my questions, thanks for testing.
