Chaos vs MLG [ref: Greyfox]

[chaos_redefined]

Looking for opponent and ref.

# of pokemon: 3v3, one at a time.

Banned moves: I request none, but opponent can add some.

Arena: Up to opponent.

DQ time: 5 days.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I'll take you up on that challenge!

I'd like to ban Toxic and Pain Split, though.

[chaos_redefined]

Sure. Toxic and Pain Split are banned.

Also, since I didn't specify and you didn't ask, I'll start with Slimepot, my male Muk. Ability : Stench.

(If you want abilities off, just say so. Doesn't change my choice.)

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Abilities is cool. It's pretty much standard nowadays, so I just always go with abilities unlesss specified.

I'll send out Chris Xeroxx, my male Kecleon. He has the Color Change ability.

Fake Out, Psybeam, Secret Power!

[Greyfox]

I'll grab this one...

[chaos_redefined]

Grey, it's yours.

Relax ~ Double Team ~ Sludge Bomb

Also, how do burn/poison statuses interact with color change? If kecleon is currently a normal type, and I use Poison Gas ~ Sludge Bomb, will it still be poisoned after the sludge bomb?

ROUND 1
The setting for this match between Elite 4 member Melo and Gym Leader Chaos is the standard Indigo Plateau arena. Chaos chooses his first pokémon, a grimey-looking muk approrpriately named Slimepot, while Melo summons Chris Xeroxx, a kecleon.

Xeroxx instantly jumps into action, slapping the muk in the face as his own eyes water due to the powerful smell radiating from his body [ -4HP Slimepot / -2PP C. Xeroxx ]. The muk just sits there... lazying about on the first action of the battle.

Slimepot, now ready to take on this color-changing foe, sinks down into a large puddle before seperating into four different, smaller versions of himself [ +75% Eva, -6PP Slimepot ]. Xeroxx takes a chance and fires off a beam of mental energy that stabs one of the four muk -- but it disperses quickly before retreating to the other three [ -11% Eva Slimepot / -5PP C. Xeroxx ].

Slimepot then fires off a powerful collection of grime that slaps Xeroxx in the face harshly [ -9HP, @Poison C. Xeroxx / -5PP Slimepot ], but before he knows it, he's already adapted to the venom's strengths. Xeroxx takes another chances and fires off a concussive beam of energy that collides with the real Slimepot and paralyzes him [ -7HP, -66% Eva, +25% Par Slimepot / -5PP C. Xeroxx ].

[chaos_redefined]

Mud Bomb until it hits, then Ice Punch.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Substitute. Screech. Finish with Counter if it's Icepunch, if not go with Dizzy Punch.

ROUND 2
Xeroxx, now getting used to his venomous body, shrieks harshly as Slimepot strikes him with a powerful glob of mud and earth that hurts a lot more than usual for some reason [ -9HP, @Ground C. Xeroxx / -4PP Slimepot ]. Xeroxx, with poisons leaving his body and chunks of earth entering it, uses the mud to create a copy of himself [ -10HP, -5PP C. Xeroxx / +10HP Keclone ].

The pile of grime and venom, Slimepot, slams an icy fist into the substitute, causing quite a bit of damage that ends up destroying the clone [ -10HP Keclone / -5PP Slimepot ]. Meanwhile, Xeroxx screeches harshly, catching the poison pile off-guard [ -20% Def Slimepot / -3PP C. Xeroxx ].

Slimepot takes another breather [ +10PP Slimepot ] as Xeroxx spins around before violently slamming his fist into the mud pile [ -9HP Slimepot / -5PP C. Xeroxx ].

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Dizzy Punch! Faint attack, then Dizzy Punch again.

Counter new Icepunches.

[chaos_redefined]

Playing with color change is fun.

ROUND 3
Slimepot creates several more clones using his gunky mass [ +75% Eva, -6PP Slimepot ] just as Xeroxx wildly flings his body forward, slamming his fist into one of them -- it's a hit!! Slimepot doubles back [ -7HP Slimepot / -4PP C. Xeroxx ], not exactly sure what just happened.

Taking advantage of Xeroxx's ever-changing elemental alignments, Slimebot glomps the chameleon and starts sucking out his lifeforce at an alarming rate [ -6HP C. Xeroxx / -4PP, +3HP Slimepot ]. Slimepot retreats, only to find that Xeroxx has vanished from underneath him! The muk looks around for a few seconds before getting a swift kick in the face [ -6HP Slimepot / -4PP C. Xeroxx ].

Slimepot, very annoyed, pile-drives the kecleon, damaging him greatly [ -18HP C. Xeroxx / -8PP Slimepot ]. The chameleon wavers about before returning to his senses -- Xeroxx responds with another dizzy punch [ -7HP, +25% Con Slimepot / -4PP C. Xeroxx ].

[chaos_redefined]

Mud Shot until it works, then Giga Drain until it works, then Sludge Bomb until it works.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Skill Swap. Then Psybeam and Shadowball.

ROUND 4
Xeroxx, quite annoyed with this poison pile exploiting his new type setting every chance he gets, comes up with a plan! He closes his eyes and links minds with Slimepot, swapping their technical abilities easily [ -7PP, @Stench C. Xeroxx / @Color Change Slimepot ]. Slimepot, unsure of what just happened, just sits there in his confusion.

Now with the type advantage, Xeroxx awaits Slimepot's next move -- but alas, it never comes as Slimepot's body seizes up. Xeroxx plants the pile of poisons with a beam of psychic energy [ -9HP, @Psychic Slimepot / -4PP C. Xeroxx ].

Xeroxx then throws a powerful shadow ball at Slimepot. The muk doesn't brace himself too much, but the attack hits him harder for reasons he can't even fathom [ -12HP, @Ghost Slimepot / -6PP C. Xeroxx ]. Slimepot, now able to move fluidly again, but is unable to use the mud shot he was ordered to use as it is not an attack he knows how to use...

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Shadowball, Faintattack, Dynamicpunch!

[chaos_redefined]

Yeah... this isn't looking good now...

ROUND 5
Slimepot, now suddenly on the defensive, sinks down to the ground to decrease his girth and increase his evasion [ +20% Eva, -5PP Slimepot ], narrowly avoiding Xeroxx's initial attack [ -6PP C. Xeroxx ].

Slimepot continues to sink further into the nuances of the arena [ +20% Eva, -5PP Slimepot ], but his smaller stature is no match for Xeroxx's stealth darkness [ -9HP, @Dark Slimepot / -4PP C. Xeroxx ].

The sentient collection of ooze and sludge closes his eyes, resting away his pain and paralysis [ +10HP, +100% Slp, -25% Par, -10PP Slimepot ]. Xeroxx, now faced with an immobile enemy, finds it much easier to strike! Slam!, he punches into the ooze, dealing heavy damage [ -15HP, @Fighting Slimepot / -8PP C. Xeroxx ].

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Reminder for Chaos.

[chaos_redefined]

Sleep Talk ~ Sleep Talk ~ Sleep Talk

If you wake up, Sludge Bombs.

[chaos_redefined]

(Also, just to check, what type is C. Xeroxx now?)

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

My last type was poison, but I think the skill swap erased that back into normal. Could be mistaken, though.

Psybeam, then Shadowball twice.

[chaos_redefined]

Grey's font colour looked like normal. But I just figured I'd double-check.

ROUND 6
With his foe asleep and, thus, unable to move around, Xeroxx has an easier time hitting him with attacks. Another psybeam shoots out, hitting the resting muk in the back of the head [ -9HP, @Psychic Slimepot / -4PP C. Xeroxx ]. Slimepot continues to snooze away, striking with a powerful bomb of sludge [ -9HP, +3% Psn C. Xeroxx / +10HP, -10PP Slimepot ].

Feeling weaker thanks to Slimepot's poisons, Xeroxx flings off a shadow ball that connects [ -12HP, @Ghost Slimepot / -6PP, -1HP C. Xeroxx ]. Slimepot again responds with a series of sludge that knocks Xeroxx off-balance [ -6HP C. Xeroxx / +10HP, -10PP Slimepot ].

Xeroxx, tired of this poison pile, flings off another shadow ball that causes considerable damage [ -12HP Slimepot / -6PP, -1HP C. Xeroxx ]. Slimepot stops healing, but hardens up his resolve in exchange for speed [ +10% Atk, +10% Def, -10% Spd Slimepot ].

[chaos_redefined]

I just realized... Why do I have 60% evasion instead of 140%?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Shadowball, Faint attack, Brickbreak.

[Greyfox]

I just realized... Why do I have 60% evasion instead of 140%?

Because if you had anything more than 100 percent, you'd dodge every attack. As for why it's 60... that was a typo. Lemme fix that.

[chaos_redefined]

Ah. I figured that 100% was the base and you subtracted instead of adding. In the same way that the rest of your stats are worked out.

If awake, Brick Break. If asleep, Sleep talk. If awake and on less than 10 hp, Explosion.

And, another question... I know you clearly said I wasn't healing in the last set of actions (when sleep talk gave me curse), but I'm unsure as to why. I know you work rest differently to everyone else, so maybe I'm missing something.

[Greyfox]

I ref it so that you gain back 10HP for the first three actions, and the continue sleeping for the last three. However, unlike the first three actions, you can be woken up during the last three -- so any attack will have a chance at waking you up.

[chaos_redefined]

bump for grey. my attacks were

brick break ~ brick break ~ brick break
sub: if asleep, sleep talk, and if awake, but on less than 10 hp, explosion

ROUND 6
Xeroxx starts round six with another shadow ball that slaps the ghostly collection of bile [ -12HP Slimepot / -6PP, -1HP C. Xeroxx ]. Slimepot, meanwhile, continues to snooze away, firing off a rogue thunderbolt that claps as it strikes Xeroxx [ -9HP C. Xeroxx ].

The muk continues to snore and snooze, throwing his venomous fist forward and striking nothing. Xeroxx, meanwhile, has swiftly ducked into the shadows and came from behind, felling Slimepot with one last hit [ -5HP Slimepot / -4PP, -1HP C. Xeroxx ]. With Slimepot out, Xeroxx's @Color Change comes back to him.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Reminder for Chaos.

[chaos_redefined]

thought I posted already... Dunno what's wrong with me of recent...

Unfortunately, the pokemon I want to use, I just put into the approval tower for evolving. So... once it's approved, I'll be using Tokuchi, my male Togekiss.

Edit: It's approved. Tokuchi, my male Togekiss. Ability: Serene Grace.

[chaos_redefined]

And I'm attacking...

Let's go... Body Slam ~ Aura Sphere ~ Air Slash

If he does something to swap our abilities, Encore it.

ROUND 7
Quick to the draw, Xeroxx swaps abilities with his new attacker once again [ -4PP, @Serene Grace C. Xeroxx / @Color Change Tokuchi ], forcing Tokuchi to change his tactic. He gives the beagle applause [ -2PP Tokuchi ], but Xeroxx is too exhausted to do anything about it.

Wanting so much to appease his fan, Xeroxx merely sits back [ +10PP C. Xeroxx ] as Tokuchi fires off an aura sphere that takes him off his feet [ -14HP C. Xeroxx / -7PP Tokuchi ].

Xeroxx continues to relax [ +10PP C. Xeroxx ] as Tokuchi slashes at the air, creating a blade that cuts the beagle harshly [ -7HP C. Xeroxx / -3PP Tokuchi ].

ROUND 8
The togekiss begins round eight by bracing herself for a powerful impact that... never comes [ -5PP Tokuchi / +10PP C. Xeroxx ], as Xeroxx is too busy gathering up strength.

Feeling foolish, Tokuchi decides to home in on Xeroxx's stolen ability and copy it back for herself [ -5PP Tokuchi, @Serene Grace ] as Xeroxx, now fully capable of moving, fires off an incredibly powerful blast of radiation that knocks the bird out of the sky [ -15HP Tokuchi / -20PP, -1HP C. Xeroxx ].

Xeroxx takes a second to recharge [ +10PP, -1HP C. Xeroxx ] before being knocked out by Tokuchi's angry body slam [ -3HP C. Xeroxx / -3PP Tokuchi ].
