    Let's go with giga drain. use magic coat if luke tries to status you, or chill if Luke is hiding or otherwise unhittable. Giga Drain / Magic Coat / Chill x 3

    On Statuses

    I personally feel like they're not really balanced in terms of how you can actually work around them. Confusion has a precedent where there's a few moves you could use to weaken it a little bit - calm mind, chill, focus energy, meditate, possibly roost or withdraw - moves that let the pokemon...

    Suggestion Box

    i agree with this because it makes double team almost entirely useless. i feel like there are more than enough moves that can block double team (hail/rain/sandstorm, perfect-accuracy moves, odour sleuth, snatch, etc.) and it just seems kind of ... unstrategic to block the use of double team...

    aw look, he wants a ride! that's cute. make a 20% substitute and let him land on and attack that instead. While he's on there, trot up next to him and use Toxic, then use Reflect. If he does manage to get on your back somehow, use Overheat and then Body Slam. Substitute ~ Toxic/Overheat ~...

    sorry i'm taking so long, university is kicking my ass i'm feeling uninspired, so counter thief with sucker punch and hope that it startles her - do it all three actions if it'll stop her from using Thief. If Nesama does manage to grab your Marvel Scale, just go grab the Dusk Stone instead; I'm...

    Let's see, how about we Safeguard, then Spite Luke's Sludge Wave, then end with Giga Drain - if possible, drain energy instead of health, but if it's not then just go for health. Safeguard ~ Spite (Sludge Wave) ~ Giga Drain

    hey! i kind of feel like I'm nitpicking, but Colour Change only activates when hit by damaging moves, which thunder wave, will-o-wisp, and toxic are not (i.e. they don't have base damage and aren't listed as physical/special).

    aaa thankyou ❤ !!! it's nearly 1AM, so basically the same strategy, just using Shadow Claw instead. Shadow Claw. If you've broken the Substitute and Nesama has Double Team clones or you're tormented, use Feint Attack instead. Shadow Claw ~ Shadow Claw/Feint Attack ~ Shadow Claw/Feint Attack

    pbbt. :P well that's what i get for never using substitute in-game, i guess. I'd be happy to re-command, but i understand if pathos would rather go ahead.

    ultraviolet vs. pathos

    okay, what? that would be a good thing to be written down literally anywhere because the only thing i can find about substitutes & immunities is that substitute won't be damaged from like electric moves if the pokemon has motor drive (from this post by negrek in 2011), and that substitutes are...

    Let's go with Drill Run. If Firestrike uses Dig, use Reflect and then make a 20% Substitute while he's underground; when he emerges, go back to Drill Run. Drill Run/Reflect ~ Drill Run/Reflect/Substitute ~ Drill Run/Reflect/Substitute

    Okay Tiny Tree Ghost!! Let's go on the offensive with Giga Drain x3. If Luke is protecting or you can't see him (like if he's used Dive, or something), use Growth. Finally, if he has Double Team clones, use Faint Attack to hit the right one. Giga Drain/Growth/Faint Attack ~ Giga...

    tbh i don't see what the problem is re: phantom force, what if it just made ghosts invisible? invisibility was removed with phasing, but i think it was way less OP and weird than phasing was. invisibility is pretty easily countered with foresight/odour sleuth/miracle eye, as well as rain...

    Brrrrr this really isn't going anywhere so I'm gonna switch out Tilda for Seven. Rapidash I'm pretty sure (?) Superbird commands again, but if not, REVEL IN THE GLORY THAT IS FLASHFIRE, then use Bounce. Switch ~ Bounce

    at this stage I think we just need to go after the substitute with Facade and Shadow Ball. If you're at the stage where it's your turn to attack and the situation is pretty dire (like, you don't think you'll last next action), live up to your namesake and go with Explosion. It's okay! Remember...

    edit: actually, i feel like something about this is a bit off. I don't think Skrelp was supposed to use Substitute on the first action? The post reads like Luke was supposed to use Sludge Wave, but it just hadn't been written in the command string for some reason. Luke was instructed to make a...
