    Looks good! I think most refs like to charge a penalty to Rock Slide's damage for hitting multiple targets even if the other targets are clones, and it's probably a pretty good idea for you to apply that rule as well. The rule for the multiple target damage decrease is this: if a move damages...

    Yep! She'll continue reffing it to the end. All right, Lilith! Start with a Rock Slide to get rid of those clones—if Ten still has clones after that, keep trying until there's just one of him left. Then go with Energy Ball and Brine. If you find yourself too frozen to use Rock Slide, try to...

    All right, consider yourself approved, unless MF finds something catastrophically wrong with your reffings!

    Stryke vs Eifie

    Looks good, for the most part. I wouldn't have charged nearly so much energy for Mimic. I'm guessing you got that from my tournament battle with MD; usually refs will go more in the direction of 1-2% energy for Mimic, with Mimic costing more energy if the move to be mimicked happened several...

    Right, one other thing I meant to say is that you accidentally put in Tommy's info instead of Lilith's in the end-of-round stats. All right, half-assed commands are a go! Lilith, I want you to start with a Solar Beam unless Ten uses Pain Split. Once he gets off a Pain Split, use Giga Drain on...

    Apparently, it's allowable to charge some small cost (like 1%) for Protecting against non-damaging moves. Nobody else I talked to knew this, so I guess we all learned something new today! (So, if you prefer, you can charge an extra 1% for Protect against both Taunt and Pain Split, as long as you...

    I am, as usual, tired and in a hurry, so for now I'm just posting the things that jump out at me right away. I haven't yet looked closely at the other calculations. Protect doesn't cost any extra energy when blocking non-damaging moves such as Taunt. For all those, it's just a flat 2% energy...

    Very well! crab guy, please Protect yourself against that Taunt, then go for a one-action Solar Beam. Let's finish off with Confuse Ray, but if he uses Pain Split, Protect against it. Protect ~ Solar Beam ~ Confuse Ray / Protect

    What you did for speed stages is fine. Hustle affects base power directly, so you should have applied that modifier before accounting for Tommy's lowered Attack. In this case it happens to make a difference of 1% damage. Everything else looks good, though! Now to send out someone more...

    Let's go out with a bang, Tommy! Superpower x3

    Stryke vs Eifie

    Hehe! Very nice! I especially enjoyed the write-up this round. Your pre-round stats have the wrong value for Tommy's health (50% instead of the fixed 44% from last round), but everything else looks good from a quick once-over. (As usual, I'm in a hurry, so I'll look again later. But for now...

    Stryke vs Eifie

    All right, if it's a battle of attrition they want, they've got one. Go with Facade, then Superpower, then Brick Break. Wait for your opponent to move each action, as usual. Sorry for the boring round, SS... I'm eager to move on to my next and hopefully more interesting Pokémon, hehe. Facade ~...

    Yes. It also includes the halving of health from using Ghost-type curse and the health costs of Substitute and Belly Drum .

    Stryke vs Eifie

    Whoops! I didn't actually look at the changed numbers when I posted earlier. Self-inflicted damage ignores the damage cap, so the 5% recoil Tommy took from Flare Blitz doesn't count towards the 40% needed for her to hit the damage cap. So she should have taken the full damage from Struggle...

    Stryke vs Eifie

    Right, it's typeless. In the game data it's technically listed as Normal-type, and the stuff in the database is just ripped directly from the games, but it does actually inflict typeless damage. Also, I'm now suddenly having a feeling that I've actually charged 1% recoil for Struggle before...

    Stryke vs Eifie

    Hee hee! Good work on not rolling for the Normal-type for Hidden Power. Normally, when a Taunted Pokémon is given no offensive commands, it'll resort to Struggle rather than do nothing. That's probably the best way to handle it here. Fix that and I think you're good for this round. I'm having a...

    It'll be affecting all damaging moves.

    Stryke vs Eifie

    All right, Tommy, you're doing great. Let's Taunt our opponent to make sure they can't get up to anything tricky this round, then test out your Hidden Power and end with Flare Blitz, waiting for your opponent to move before you attack. If your opponent is Protecting, make as many clones as you...

    Stryke vs Eifie

    Oh, one more thing. You should also put in a note about how you had Tommy notice that Dotcom was no longer Encored specifically because I asked you to do so regardless of MF's ruling (because I wanted to see if you would notice that Tommy doesn't learn Mimic), so that if MF decides otherwise...

    Stryke vs Eifie

    Hehe, very good! I wasn't expecting you to figure out both my tricks (Encore ending early and Tommy not learning Mimic), but you've done excellently. Rolling for crits and checking that each Pokémon actually learns the moves it's using are probably the easiest things to forget to do; even...
