[JJayyFeather]

Hi, psuedo important person here:

Why is Aurumoth's Zen Headbutt A3 not dealing full damage (16.5)? And if the answer is "idk", then Aurumoth dies to Counter.

(Also the NDA says that moves count as having dealt full damage against Endure, even if the attack was endured, so Aurumoth dies either way.)

ZhengTann to fix this. (Small aside: /me boops you - Don't ever order 3x Chill with Lucy's Pokemon, or any Pokemon in the Pike for that matter, unless the opposition dies anyways)

 

[ZhengTann]

Okay, fixed the last iteration. Give me like, a few more days to figure out who's supposed to do what.

 

[Exclaimer]

over a month later ZhengTann

 

[Exclaimer]

Sending out Latias

 

[Exclaimer]

ZhengTann any hope I can get through more of this?

 

[ZhengTann]

There is always hope!

"And I'll crush it while you helplessly Rage!"

Switch phase initiated! Counterswitch?

(For the record, it's now Gorebyss versus Latias and you can counterswitch if you want to)

 

[Exclaimer]

Go for it.
