Today is the big day! It's the third round of the tournament, and people are getting heated! Can't blame them, this match is sure to be an eye-catcher. One the one hand, we have the Flora Fanatic, the Herbal Heavyweight himself: it's Skiddo! With a Jumbao whose WC I had to edit myself because someone clearly didn't bother reading the PCT recently and a Revenankh, GT seems to bet on longevity to stay afloat.
And staying afloat might be a challenge since he faces the Queen of Facilities herself! If tenacity was a stat, you couldn't go much higher than epicdrill's, and that's not something you want to underestimate. She brought a team of rather conservative but trusted Pokémon, including the ever-present Swampert and Dragonite! She may be trying to out-bulk the competition!
Ah, but I know why you're all here. You got your eyes on this coin like a bunch of Meowths! You're in luck, since I aim to please...

Coinflip: 1-5000 GT | 5001-10000 epic
rolled 2600 ==> GT!

And the crowd goes wild as GT has been chosen for first sendout!

This round proves a poor opener for GT, as Jumbao takes an action to neutralize Naviathan's Flame Orb (which is admittedly nice), and another to miss a Focus Blast. It's now very much behind in the damage race, as 30 HP is quite a lot! GT can't even capitalize by switching, as Anchor Shot firmly holds Jumbao in place! Will epicdrill make full use of second order and KO a Pokémon as early as round 2? It would be a thunderous start, for sure. Keep an eye on your energy, though, these costs might ramp up fast!​

"An unfortunate miss, but we press on!"

Synthesis - Focus Blast - Focus Blast
***IF you are under the effects of Taunt when you are to use Synthesis, use Giga Drain that action.
***IF Naviathan is under the effects of a P/E move when you are to use Focus Blast, Chill the first instance.
***IF Naviathan is to use a damaging Steel-type combination, Fake Out the first instance and push actions back.

It's incredible how quick things can go south. Jumbao gets its recovery drastically reduced, meaning it's barely clinging to life as the round ends. But the worst offender has to be its awful aim this round. Imagine a giant tree sending orbs of pure ki everywhere but at the bloody living ship in front of it. Terrifying thought.
Needless to say the hax levels in this tournament have not been lowered with this round. Only a crit could have made it worse, but perhaps it would have been a mercy since epic now has the easiest first order round ever. It really is a tough beginning for GT, already down a Pokémon basically. Naviathan getting low on EN may be a small silver lining, though... Let's see how the rest goes.
I swear all of my rolls are public!​

In another timeline, GT could have used Fake Out and Endure to squeeze more time out of this round, but Light Metal decided otherwise. Now let's see how he reacts to being down basically 3/4 of a Pokémon!​

Revenankh takes the field for GT, threatening super effective damage on Naviathan... and it looks like there's bite to this bark! Naviathan's HP melts over the course of the round as it has to carefully manage its EN, getting as low as 1 during this round!
It looks like epic has a plan in keeping it alive for now, though, so we might see a switch here, perhaps forcing GT to reveal his hand early.
Oh, and items work again now. Does RCB work well as a snack?​

Naviathan falls at least! Revenankh is looking quite good on the HP front, but it has less than half its EN remaining, and as we saw, it only take a round of super effective battering to melt a HP bar! Maybe Triage's increased priority can make epic trip up? There's also the possibility of GT switching out, perhaps forcing both battlers to reveal their third Pokémon!​

It's not looking good for ya boi GT over here, as he gets less out of Scope Lens than he would have liked! Down to pitiful HP and EN after a barrage of attacks from epicdrill's Swampert (who equipped a very unusual item! It's the first time I've seen Assault Vest in action I believe), it will be difficult to make sure Swampert can't find holes in his first order! EN costs are racking up like crazy, too, leaving him with little leeway to try and mount a comeback...
Meawhile, epic's Dragonite lurks on the bench...​

Fun fact for all of you spectating: at this point a Miracle Seed or Expert Belt would have yielded more damage than Scope Lens (16 vs 12). Lady Luck is really giving GT the cold shoulder today.​
