Dexterous was born many, many years ago. He also died many, many years ago, but modern technology brought him back to life at current times, his memory intact thanks to the preservation of his remains in tough amber.

In his long-lost past, he was an exceptional hunter, even leading his own group of feared predators. He has several fond moments to recall from that time, and often starts rambling about it if he seizes a chance to. He can talk about just about anything, ranging from simple, tasty fruit he came across (Aerodactyl are, after all, assumed to be omnivorous), to epic battles against Magikarp's ancestors.

Dexterous is also not well aware of the fact nobody cares about his past. Thus, if there is one thing he despises, that would be when somebody dares interrupt his reminiscences. Should he start bantering, any sort of immediate damage strong enough to stop him from talking for a short while will transform his fond recallings into a terrifying tirade about the cheekiness of the modern-day Pokémon; by the time he's done speaking, he will fight with much more ferocity.

Type: Normal / Accuracy: 100% / Target: Self / Energy: 2% per action / Duration: 3 actions
Once Dexterous uses Prehistoric Banter, he cannot do anything else until the attack is over (including Struggle; thus, attacks that force him to change his movements, such as Taunt and Torment, only take effect after Prehistoric Banter ends). However, if he receives more than 6% damage in any single action during the usage, his Attack will be increased by 3+. This boost can only be applied once each time the attack is used.

Super Macho Man is one Pokémon that takes "No Guard" too far. Instead of making an effort so his blows will strike effective and accurate, he keeps on trying to show off by making large, spinny moves. This was a disadvantage, as it would not only harm accruacy, but also waste energy. So, after a long talk, Metallica Fanboy finally convinced the Fighting-type to concentrate all of his braggery in one single attack.

Before using this attack, Super Macho Man will pose to all spectators -- be them just two trainers or a whole crowd -- thus making him open to attacks. Aftewards, he will perform three wide-ranged spinning clotheslines, which he can miss regardless of the circumstances because of how it's focused towards looking good rather than being effective. All the spinning can make Super Macho Man dizzy, and it gets even worse if something went not quite as he planned. Finally, he's open again just after he finishes using this attack, and any blow landed against him then will throw him off.

Type: Fighting / Stat: Physical / Base Damage: 9% per blow (27% total if all hit) / Accuracy: 75% / Target: One specified target, plus whoever is close by enough / Energy: 5% per action / Duration: 3 actions

On the first action that this attack is used, it's performed with 1- priority, and attacks landed by then will cause 2% more damage. For each action, this attack has a 25% chance to miss regardless of boosts to accuracy, drops in enemy evasion or No Guard being in effect. If the opponent attacks right after the third blow from this attack, Super Macho Man will flinch on the next action; this will not happen, though, if the damage caused was 2% or less. Missing will make Super Macho Man confused after the attack; the more misses, the more severe the confusion gets.

Colias Palaeno has a strong concern for the touristic industry of Babahl. That, and his naïve yet kind nature, have originated a habit of handing coupons out frequently. The coupons Colias distributes usually can only be claimed in Babahl.

So as long as he can put the pile of coupons somewhere, he will not hesitate in giving one away.

Type: Normal / Accuracy: 100% / Target: Varies / Energy: 4% / Duration: 1 action

This move cannot be used if there is no reasonable place in the arena where a stack of coupons could be placed within Colias Palaeno's reach. When this move is used, a randomly chosen coupon will be given to a randomly chosen trainer on the arena. The coupons are as follows:
- Sightseeing Tour: This coupon grants one (1) free tour to Babahl's landmarks. Has no effect whatsoever in battle.
- Babahlese Feast: This coupon grants one (1) table filled with traditional Babahlese cuisine. There are twenty (20) different plates, ten (10) which can be eaten in one (1) action for five (5%) health points, and ten (10) which can be eaten in two (2) actions for ten (10%) health points. All Pokémon in the battlefield may eat.
- Babahlese Currency: This coupon grants nine (9) Babahlese units of currency to the trainer that receives it; in ASB dollars, the value is approximately equal to one ($1) dollar, which can be claimed along with other prizes after the battle is over.
- Steel Samurai Private Tutoring: This coupon grants one (1) quick training session with none other than the Steel Samurai himself. The Pokémon receiving the class will be the next to be sent out (which the trainer still chooses normally, i.e. once the active Pokémon faints). That Pokémon will have one (1+) boost in Attack, which acts as a normal boost and thus can be neutralized and cannot surpass the 6+ limit. In addition to this, Fighting-type moves used by this Pokémon will score 1% further damage. If the trainer receiving this coupon has only one (1) Pokémon left, it becomes useless.
- Babahlese Combat Gear: This coupon grants one (1) uniform worn by the Babahlese Army, which boosts Defense and Special Defense by 1+ each.
- Good Luck Charm: This coupon grants one (1) traditional Babahlese good luck charm to wear as a hold item in addition to all others. It cannot be flung, and will place the holder's attacks one Critical Hit domain higher than usual.
- "Allebahst Sucks" Shirt: This coupon grants one (1) shirt with very respectful and mature critique toward the Kingdom of Allebahst. A Pokémon wearing this shirt will quietly be stalked by the Allebahstian Army and, three actions after receiving the shirt, struck from behind by bullet fire (causing 7% physical steel-type damage) and cheap shots from weaponless infantry (causing 5% physical dark-type damage).
- Anvilicious Surprise: This coupon grants one (1) anvil made with minerals extracted from Babahlese mines. It claims itself immediately, and this may prove slightly inconvenient for the receiver. Any trainer receiving this coupon will get an anvil dropped on their Pokémon, dealing 10% physical steel-type damage and causing the effects of Minimize (including the evasion boost). During a double (x & x vs. x & x) battle, only one (1) randomly chosen Pokémon will be struck.
- Poke Primidux: This coupon grants permission to touch the Primidux Statue for one (1) day. It can be used as a battering weapon to inflict 5% physical steel-type damage. Overusing the statue (4 blows in a row or 10 blows overall) may break it, causing the Babahlese Army to invade the battlefield and shoot the Pokémon responsible for 7% physical steel-type damage per action, during three actions.
- Babahlese Ink: This coupon grants one (1) bottle of Babahlese Ink, which can act as a hold item in addition to all others. The ink is made of highly flammable Whitcrystal Oil that produces bright bluish-green flames when set alight; thus, it is possible to burn the bottle as well. When flung, it causes 8% base damage and shatters, leaving the foe soiled with ink and thus flammable (in most cases). If the bottle is flung while on fire, it causes a burn as well.

Spearhead, as his secondary type makes obvious, loves to fight. The thrill of effectively striking while avoiding the incoming blows is plain irreplaceable. However, nothing is perfect. If there is one thing he finds iffy about battling, that would be the fact that he has to, you know, damage the opponent. To cover their skin in bruises and cuts and nasty injuries until they lose consciousness. The punching bags' lack of fighting back, though, forces the honor driven Heracross to face what he is obliged to do.

Nonetheless, knocking a fellow Pokémon out cold is not something he will agree to doing so easily. He can force himself to do it if it turns out to be absolutely obligatory, but, if there is a way out, he will seize the chance to do things that way.

Once a foe has been battered enough throughout the match, Spearhead will sense the ideal opportunity to try and convince them to cut their losses. He will apply a submission hold, strong enough to hurt, but not enough to further damage those who are already quite beaten down. As he applies it, he will initiate a peace talk with the target, trying to convince them to stop fighting in order to avoid a knockout. The opponent may or may not comply; if they don't, the Heracross will find some peace of mind in believing that battling until they could no more is what the enemy wished.

Because Spearhead is more merciful upon foes he perceives as unfair matches against him, he will try to force a surrender earlier when fighting such foes.

Type: Fighting / Accuracy: 50% / Target: Single / Energy: Varies / Duration: 1 action
Spearhead can only use this attack against Pokémon with 20% or less health remaining (25% if the Pokémon is not fully evolved); additionally, Pokémon whose ability, hold item, body mod or signature mod only activates after reaching 33% or less health cannot be affected as well. If the attack works, the target will surrender, thus gaining a KO'd status regardless of the fact they have not reached 0% health or energy. The energy cost is 5% at base, plus half the remaining health of the target.
