Arena: Test of Teamwork
The Test of Teamwork will take place in an arena that is functionally identical to the standard ASB arena, except that strange enchantments in the arena make it easier for Pokemon to communicate with their allies and work with them. As a result, the energy cost of Helping Hand is reduced by 2 and all Pokemon gain the Telepathy ability in this arena. Those that already have Telepathy may treat it as a Toggle ability with the default effect being what it usually does and the effect when toggled being none whatsoever.
Furthermore, two or more Pokemon on the same side may attempt to combine their powers in the form of a Team Attack, although doing so has a price. Any time a Team of two or more Pokemon wish to do this, the relevant action in each Teammate's orders must contain the word "Team"; this word is best placed in front of the move name, like Team Flamethrower. There are different ways of using a Team Attack, but they all have certain things in common:
In all forms of Team Attack, the actual effect of the Team Attack does not happen until the last Teammate's turn. Teammates who are due to take their turn before then will have their turns postponed until the time is right. It is assumed that, between their normal turns and the turn when the attack is unleashed, faster Teammates are either preparing themselves or setting up the right circumstances.
If, come the time to strike, any Teammates are unable to act (such as if they have fainted, are flinching, are hitting themselves in confusion, or anything similar), the Team Attack is considered Disrupted. At best, the Team Attack will be less powerful. At worst, it may fail altogether with any Teammates who were able to act expending energy as normal.
The energy cost for each Teammate of using a Team Attack is always the same as the energy cost of using the move normally.
Combos may not be used as part of a Team Attack.
Helping Hand cannot be used to boost a Team Attack.
Pokemon affected by Torment may not use a Team Attack.
A Team Attack requires at least two Teammates.
The most basic kind of Team Attack is when multiple Teammates use the same move on the same opponent (or opponents if the move is multi-target). When this happens, the opponent is affected by each Teammate's attack in normal turn order as if it were just an ordinary attack, but the last Teammate's attack has double the BAP, double the secondary effect chance and inflicts double the stat drops on the opponent. If this kind of Team Attack is Disrupted, it can still be pulled off if there are at least two Teammates able to act; the last available Teammate is the one whose attack's strength is doubled. If only one Teammate is able to act, the Team Attack fails. This variety of Team Attack may only be used if the chosen move is a damaging move that can normally be combined with itself and does not deal fixed damage.
More advanced forms of Team Attack are largely up to ref discretion. For example, one Teammate uses a move or command to lift the other Teammate, who uses a move like Body Slam or Heavy Slam on the opponent. Alternatively, multiple Teammates might jump up on each other to stack themselves like a tower of Pokemon, and then the one at the bottom charges towards the opponent and all the Teammates crash down on them. Perhaps one Teammate might give another Teammate a push to add momentum to the latter Teammate's strike. A good guideline is that, for these more advanced kinds of Team Attack, moves that actually strike the opponent may have their strength doubled as described in the more basic Team Attack above, while any uncodified commands that are used to contribute to this have an energy cost of 5. Of course, this depends on the ref deciding that the proposed advanced Team Attack is feasible. If it isn't, the energy is expended as if it had succeeded but the intended effects of the Team Attack don't happen and the ref may inflict some other form of penalty at their discretion.
