    bye Mhalairt Okay guess I'll be sending in Adamantite instead. Just Double-Edge because you're fresh as a newborn fossil so who cares about recoil and energy. If Iroh tries to dodge with a priority move, wait until he's slowed to hit. If there are clones, spray a Brine around. If Iroh...

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    Alright. Mhalairt, finish it. Blast away with Ice Beam until Iroh is down. If Iroh tries to dodge with Aqua Jet or Extremespeed, then wait until he's slowed down before hitting him. If there are clones by some odd witchery, just sweep Ice Beam around. If Iroh successfully uses Endure or...

    ... well, whatever. Just use Dragon Pulse until you faint. You did great, Polychaeta. Dragon Pulse x3

    Ah, I see. Yeah, sometimes Negrek changes rulings, but it's good that you searched it up; it's more that you were misinformed than you made a mistake.

    Right, so Negrek said that Spit Up does not require any more energy, nor is it subject to anti-STAB.

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    Stat-raising or lowering moves cost 1% per level raised/lowered, so Captivate should only have cost 2%. I'm also not entirely sure if Spit Up and Swallow take a bit of extra energy on top of what's been Stockpiled; that's something that should be asked. Energy is fine otherwise. I'm also not...

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    Start with a Stockpile (25%). Then wait until Iroh has moved before using Captivate End with Spit Up. Should there be a Substitute on actions two or three, blast away at the Substitute with Dragon Pulse until it's gone. If Iroh is Protecting when you are to use Captivate or Spit Up, Chill...

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    Randomizing who goes first in case of a speed tie is fine, but some refs have the Pokemon that was commanded first go first, to reduce unpredictability. Just an option to consider. Normally, if a Pokemon can't execute a move but the conditions for its other options are not triggered, it will...

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    Here, have an unmotivated and uncreative command string... May as well do as much damage before you bow out for someone else, Polychaeta (can't have you hogging all the EXP after all!). Dragon Pulse, then try to toss Iroh away with a Twister. End with another Dragon Pulse. Dragon Pulse ~...

    Well this was a really short round, so nothing really to critique here. :P Pretty sure that the effects of Whirlpool fade, yeah.

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    Okay, another Brine ought to finish Seismos off. While she's trapped in a Whirlpool I have doubts that she can avoid your attack at all outside of Protect/Detect/Endure. If she successfully uses any of those, then use Stockpile (10%) and move Brine over to the next action. Brine/Stockpile (10%) x3
  12. blazheirio889

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    All damage counts towards the cap, unless it's self-inflicted (e.g. Substitute, ghost-Curse), so Seismos should be at 19% health, assuming calculations are correct. However, I'm pretty leery about Whirlpool dealing 6% per action, since that's quite a lot. The initial attack does 6%, you're right...

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    Hmm, I don't know how well Seismos will be able to concentrate while paddling water, but let's make it more difficult for her, shall we? Polychaeta, trap Seismos with Whirlpool. Make sure you're a decent distance from Seismos before using Whirlpool so you don't get trapped yourself. If you do...

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    Right, so unless a Pokemon has open flames, it doesn't take any damage, so you're right in having Seismos not take damage.
  15. blazheirio889

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    I'd probably have Seismos take a bit more than 2% damage, given that she's weak against water. I'd say the damage equivalent to an unSTAB'd Water Gun, which is 4%, what you previously had. I recall there was some ruling on submerged Pokemon taking some damage, but I can't seem to find it...

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    When you edit the reffing to reflect a major change, it's best to post to notify the battlers. Negrek's post here indicates that Seismos would take much less damage, but her hole would flood. However, the description indicates that she was merely sprayed by some water. The effects of being...

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    I ordered Muddy Water on action 2, not Natural Gift. The calculations look fine. I'm not sure how you subtracted energy for Dig (and it doesn't make a difference in this round), but I tend to have the Pokemon take half the energy when it Digs down and the other half when it comes up. Just a...

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    Your calculations look fine. Good call on making Polychaeta taking sandstorm damage. And generally Substitutes don't protect their creators from weather damage, no. Speaking of Sandstorm, weather moves last for 2 to 3 rounds, depending on the ref, but it looks like you're making it go on for 10...

    blazheirio889 vs. RespectTheBlade

    Hmm, since there won't be a sandstorm in the water, we should be snug and comfy. Let Seismos change the weather while we make a small Substitute. Next, spit a Will-o-Wisp at Seismos to soften his attacks. End with a Muddy Water. Remember, keep yourself submerged at all times! Suspended in...

    For Totodile's convenience, here's Wyrmal's information page. Also RtB, I don't think your command string properly matches with your description ?_?
