Koboi the Mawile (OT: Mowtom)

Mawile [Koboi] (F)

Nobody trusts Koboi. And with good reason. She doesn't have any regard for the rights of others, and in general thinks torture is fun. Fortunately for all, she...isn't very good at getting her way. With Koboi's Mega form inaccessible to her (she hasn't bonded with Mowtom enough), she is all bark and no bite. Yes, I realize that she has tremendous jaws. Even though she can Mega Evolve, she still won't do harm to anyone Mowtom wants safe. She knows that if she does, bad things will follow.

Type: Steel / Fairy

• Steel STAB; immune to Sandstorm damage, immune to Poison/Toxic status, but can be corroded specifically by Acid and Acid Spray, making them susceptible to Poison-type attacks and Poison/Toxic Status.
• Fairy STAB; The consecutive move usage penalty for using damaging Fairy-type moves is reduced to two (2) from four (4).

Abilities: Hyper Cutter / Intimidate / Sheer Force (Unlocked)

• This Pokemon always keeps its claws/teeth/pincers extremely sharp, and thus cannot have its attack reduced.
  
• When this Pokemon initially goes out into the battlefield, it generates an intimidating roar or war cry that shakes all opponents on the battlefield, reducing their Attack stage (and adjusting the natural stage) by one (1). If an opponent switches in a new Pokemon, Intimidate can be activated again as a Command, and will affect all opponents.
  • Command: Activate Intimidate - 5 En - Lowers all foes' Attack (and adjusting the natural stage) by one (1) stage. Only usable if a foe entered play this round.
• By default this Pokemon can energize all its attacks with a secondary effect (These are damaging moves that either lower the target's stats, raise the user's stats, or inflict a status condition on the target). The Base Attack Power of every move with a secondary effect increases by two (2), but they will never have their usual secondary effect. When toggled, no effect.

Nature: Careful (+Special Defense, -Special Attack)

Koboi the Mega Mawile

Mega Mawile [Koboi] (F)

When Mowtom participated in his first flash battle ever, he chose Koboi to come along with him. The battle awarded Mowtom 1 CC, pushing him over 10. Koboi flatly refused to come back home unless Mowtom spent those 10 CC on a certain stone. What choice did he have?

Type: Steel / Fairy

• Steel STAB; immune to Sandstorm damage, immune to Poison/Toxic status, but can be corroded specifically by Acid and Acid Spray, making them susceptible to Poison-type attacks and Poison/Toxic Status.
• Fairy STAB; The consecutive move usage penalty for using damaging Fairy-type moves is reduced to two (2) from four (4).

Abilities: Hyper Cutter / Intimidate / Sheer Force (Locked) / Huge Power (Mega)

• This Pokemon always keeps its claws/teeth/pincers extremely sharp, and thus cannot have its attack reduced.
• When this Pokemon initially goes out into the battlefield, it generates an intimidating roar or war cry that shakes all opponents on the battlefield, reducing their Attack stage and their Natural Attack stage by one (1). If an opponent switches in a new Pokemon, Intimidate can be activated again as a Command, and will affect all opponents.
  • Command: Activate Intimidate - 5 En - Lowers all foes' Attack and Natural Attack by one (1) stage. Only usable if a foe entered play this round.
• By default this Pokemon can energize all its attacks with a secondary effect (These are damaging moves that either lower the target's stats, raise the user's stats, or inflict a status condition on the target). The Base Attack Power of every move with a secondary effect increases by two (2), but they will never have their usual secondary effect. When toggled, no effect.
  
• This Pokemon has immense inner strength that grows with its development, raising its Attack and its Base Rank Total by one Rank for each evolution level (first of three stages = 1, first of two stages or second of three stages = 2, fully evolved = 3). If Skill Swapped, the swapped Pokemon's Attack and Base Rank Total is only raised by one Rank.

Kain [Aerodactyl] #Hard Stone

Tellah [Slowbro] #Slowbronite

Silver_Lucario42

 

[cityscapes]

Ok, let's see which Pokémon would be the best choice. That Aerodactyl's Rock STAB looks pretty dangerous with a Hard Stone, but if I bring Mawile, then Slowbro can threaten it with Fire Blast--or worse, Disable. Furthermore, I'm going to need Mawile later on to reliably beat your Tomohawk.

What items should I use? Odd Keystone on Spiritomb looks like the obvious choice, but although the defense buff is useful, it seems better in singles. Let's try this instead (I need 3 subs for this tbh):

#Spell Tag
Imprison [Taunt, Torment, Protect] ~ Shadow Ball (Slowbro) ~ Ominous Wind (Slowbro)
IF Slowbro and Aerodactyl are KO'd, THEN initiate action string Chill ~ Rest ~ Sleep
IF Slowbro is KO'd, THEN redirect to Aerodactyl
IF Aerodactyl is KO'd, THEN redirect to Slowbro
IF Slowbro is to use Skill Swap (Kecleon) AND NOT Skill Swap on the next action AND NOT Skill Swap on the previous action AND you would move before Slowbro AND Aerodactyl is not to use Taunt (Kecleon) the next action THEN use Taunt (Slowbro) and push back
IF Slowbro is under the effects of a P/E move when you are to target it THEN redirect to Aerodactyl

#Expert Belt
Fake Out (Aerodactyl) ~ Trick Room (Psychic) ~ Thunderbolt (Electric) (Slowbro)
IF Slowbro, Aerodactyl, and Spiritomb are KO'd, THEN Chill
IF Slowbro and Aerodactyl are KO'd, THEN initiate action string Reflect Type (Spiritomb) ~ Chill ~ Chill
IF Slowbro is KO'd, THEN use Thunder Punch (Electric) (Aerodactyl)
IF Aerodactyl is KO'd, THEN use Thunder (Electric) (Slowbro)
IF Slowbro is to use Trick Room AND NOT Slowbro is to use Trick Room on the next action AND NOT Slowbro used Trick Room on the previous action THEN use Thunder (Slowbro) A2
IF the opposing team is under the effects of Light Screen AND NOT A1 AND NOT Slowbro is to use Light Screen the next action AND NOT you are to use Trick Room THEN use Brick Break (Aerodactyl)

Am I allowed to use items I don't have? I'm assuming I can because this is a rental battle, but let me know if I can't.

 

[smashlloyd20]

Silver_Lucario42 , we're changing this to 3 subs. Any serious battle that you will play will have 3 subs so there's no point in learning to play with 2. Please edit your orders and post when you're done. Items you don't own are kosher.

P.S. Please put your KO subs at the bottom of your sub lists.

 

[cityscapes]

Right... How about this?

#Spell Tag
Imprison [Taunt, Torment, Protect] ~ Shadow Ball (Slowbro) ~ Ominous Wind (Slowbro)
IF Slowbro is to use Skill Swap (Kecleon) AND you would move before Slowbro AND you are under the effects of Imprison AND Slowbro is not under the effects of a D/E move AND Slowbro is not under the effects of Taunt THEN use Taunt (Slowbro)
IF Slowbro is under the effects of a P/E move AND you would target Slowbro AND Aerodactyl is not under the effects of a P/E move AND Aerodactyl is not under the effects of a D/E move THEN use Shock Wave (Aerodactyl)
IF Slowbro is under the effects of a P/E move AND Aerodactyl is under the effects of a D/E move AND you are under the effects of Imprison AND Aerodactyl would not be under the effects of a D/E move next action AND Aerodactyl would not be under the effects of a P/E move next action THEN initiate action string Curse (Aerodactyl) ~ Infestation (Aerodactyl)
IF Slowbro and Aerodactyl are KO'd, THEN Chill
IF Slowbro is KO'd, THEN redirect to Aerodactyl
IF Aerodactyl is KO'd, THEN redirect to Slowbro

#Expert Belt
Fake Out (Aerodactyl) ~ Trick Room [Psychic] ~ Thunderbolt [Electric] (Slowbro)
IF Slowbro is to use Trick Room AND Slowbro is not to use Trick Room the next action AND Slowbro didn't use Trick Room on the previous action THEN use Thunderbolt [Electric] (Slowbro) A2
IF Slowbro is under the effects of a P/E move OR Slowbro is under the effects of a D/E move AND you would target Slowbro AND Aerodactyl is not under the effects of a P/E move AND Aerodactyl is not under the effects of Bide AND NOT Aerodactyl is to use a damaging Ground-type combination that action THEN use Thunder [Electric] (Aerodactyl)
IF Aerodactyl, Slowbro, and Spiritomb are KO'd, THEN Chill
IF Aerodactyl and Slowbro are KO'd, THEN use Reflect Type [No Change] (Spiritomb) the first instance and Chill all future instances
IF Aerodactyl is KO'd, THEN use Thunderbolt [Electric] (Slowbro)
IF Slowbro is KO'd, THEN use Thunder [No Change] (Aerodactyl)

 

[smashlloyd20]

Correct call not opening with Mawile, but your item choices are a bit wonky. Kecleon should basically always be running Everstone, as it gets +2SpDef from it and gets +2 STAB boost on any attack it uses (dependent on Protean shenanigans), which is strictly better than Expert Belt's +2 base damage boost on SE attacks only. Spell Tag on Spiritomb is okay, but unless you were looking to kill Slowbro really really quickly (you aren't) I would run Odd Keystone to make it harder for me to focus fire Spiritomb (not that I'm going to be doing that, but still). Spell Tag is also better if you're not expecting to be hitting super-effectively because it gives a flat damage boost, not a base damage boost.

Moving onto your orders, remember the smashlloyd20 principle: be wary of not doing enough damage. I'm not the biggest fan of Imprison A1. What does this prevent? When I'm ordering second in doubles I won't be Taunting or Protecting, especially with your order set, and Torment can't really come into play as it's only the first round-when ordering second in doubles, your goal is to hit things really really hard. You stated yourself that your goal was to burst down Slowbro so that by the time Mawile comes out it can clean up. This is a perfectly reasonable strategy, BUT you can't go halfway with that kind of thing in doubles; things happen too quickly. Also, Ominous Wind looks out of place. The extra 4 EN is absolutely worth it in doubles, considering how quickly things die. I would have run a base order set of Shadow Ball ~ Shadow Ball ~ Shadow Ball, or maybe Shadow Ball ~ Shadow Claw/Solar Beam ~ Shadow Ball. If you're not using Imprison on Spiritomb A1, it follows that Fake Out on Kecleon is unnecessary too. Fake Out is one of the best doubles moves and I like in theory how you're using it here, but really you're just giving Slowbro a free action to be annoying. I'm going to be bursting down Kecleon exclusively because I can kill it more quickly. In doubles, how many mons you have left tends to be more important than what those mons are because a 2v1 is stacked very very heavily in favor of the 2 (unless the 1 is like Mega Gardevoir).

Slowbro: [Mega Evolve] Focus Blast (Kecleon) ~ Focus Blast (Kecleon) ~ Focus Blast (Kecleon)
IF Trick Room is not up A3 THEN Brine (Kecleon)

Aerodactyl: Flinch ~ Rock Slide ~ Stone Edge (Kecleon)

 

[smashlloyd20]

Something I missed, by the way: "if flinch, push actions back" is an important sub when your orders are so dependent on one particular move (in your case, Trick Room) going off.

Okay but actually, these orders certainly could have been more optimized. Mainly, there was absolutely no reason to combo with Spiritomb; Ominous Wind ~ Shadow Ball ~ Ominous Wind kills Slowbro just as effectively, uses much less energy, and gives you another chance at an Ominous Wind proc. Especially with both of my mons locked into useless moves for the round, there's no reason to frontload your damage like that.

Tomohawk gets Harden who came up with that idea

Do feasibility subs count? I mean, you could ask about them on IRC so I'm not sure if they should count towards your total.

Skill Swap [Protean for Pressure, Color Change for Infiltrator] (Spiritomb) ~ Trick Room ~ Chill
IF Aerodactyl is not under the effects of a P/E move AND Aerodactyl is not KO'd THEN use Sneaky Swat (Fake Out + Knock Off) [Normal] (Aerodactyl)
IF Tomohawk is not under the effects of a P/E move AND Tomohawk is not KO'd THEN use Sneaky Swat [Normal] (Tomohawk)
IF your ability is Pressure THEN replace all instances of Sneaky Swat [Normal] with Sneaky Swat AND replace all instances of Double Fake Out [Normal] with Double Fake Out
IF Sneaky Swat is unfeasible, THEN replace all instances of it with Double Fake Out (Fake Out + Fake Out) [Normal]

Shadow Ball (Aerodactyl) ~ Shock Wave (Aerodactyl) ~ Shadow Ball (Aerodactyl)
IF Aerodactyl is to use a damaging Flying-type combination THEN use Protect
[2 Subs] IF Aerodactyl is under the effects of a P/E move OR Aerodactyl is under the effects of a D/E move THEN use Hypnosis (Tomohawk) the first instance, Shadow Ball (Tomohawk) the second Ominous Wind (Tomohawk) the third and push back
IF Aerodactyl and Tomohawk are KO'd, THEN use Rest
IF Aerodactyl is KO'd, THEN redirect to Tomohawk
IF Tomohawk is KO'd, THEN redirect to Aerodactyl

 

[smashlloyd20]

Okay, so despite my huge fuck up last round you have to realize this is a terrible round for you. This is because I can artificially create the best scenario in doubles: a 2-on-1. You know I'm going to kill Kecleon really quickly, so your top priority should be to get through the rest of the round with Spiritomb on as much health as possible so you can send out Mawile and fight back from there (because I really have nothing to fight it with). There are a few ways you could do this with subs for 'IF X THEN P/E', but in general this is a poor situation for you. The number one thing you want to avoid is...exactly what I'm doing, honestly. This is part of the ability to think ahead that you have to learn with time. Subbing for D/E with Hypnosis seems a bit strange, frankly; if you want to waste an action just go with P/E, and if you want to deliberate me go with a damaging move. That said, this is a really difficult round for you and the Sneaky Swat thing with Kecleon was smart. This is why 3 APR doubles is kind of a stupid format, particularly in sizes as small as a 3v3.

Not bad. You did a good job taking out Aerodactyl ASAP (helped by my poor protection of it and misunderstanding of Sucker Punch lol). This battle is basically played out at this point barring an enormous choke from me, but let's see how you can use Mawile's tricks to hang in there.

Honestly the real problem here is having to order first. The only real way you could choke here is by messing up your own first order, but if I want to use, say, Pain Split, then I'm going to have to sub for P/E, Double Team, Taunt, etc. Let's see what I can do here...

Play Rough ~ Play Rough ~ Play Rough
IF Tomohawk is under the effects of Double Team, THEN use Rock Slide
IF Tomohawk is to use Earth Power AND you are not under the effects of Taunt THEN use Pain Split that action [non-consecutively]
IF Tomohawk is not under the effects of a P/E move A2 THEN use PLAY TIME IS OVER (Play Rough + Play Rough)

 

[smashlloyd20]

Yeah, you're pretty dead. That said, there are a couple ways you could have done this better. Your second sub is smart, but your third sub is actually going to hurt you more than help; that combo does very little for you if it lands and severely restricts your options elsewhere (and I'm going to take advantage of it in a very brutal way). I'd recommend putting that towards Heat Wave instead. Your first sub is generally harmless, but also not terribly helpful. At this point you can't really cover all the possible ways I could kill you in all fairness.

Taunt ~ Ground Dasher (Earth Power+Earth Power) ~ Ground Dasher (Earth Power+Earth Power)

Wrap-Up:

First of all, 3v3 Doubles, particularly 3 APR, is a bit of a borked format. Getting to order first meant that I was going to be in the driver's seat the whole time, particularly in such a small format. That said, here are the mistakes you made that I would say really let me take advantage:

• Round 1: Expert Belt Kecleon, not following the smashlloyd20 principle (Imprison and to a lesser extent Fake Out), not having a flinch substitution to guarantee Trick Room goes up
• Round 2: Excessive combo usage
• Round 3: Hypnosis
• Round 4: Nothing major
• Round 5: Play Rough combo A2

As you can see, most of your mistakes came in Round 1. From there it more or less spiraled out of control, which is partially due to the inherent imbalance in this kind of format. That said, you did a good job on second order and this was a huge step up overall from your first battle, especially considering how much more complicated doubles is than singles. PM me on IRC to discuss your next steps/third battle if you want. Nice job.
