    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    Kudos to you, Eta Carinae; that was just about the perfect time to switch out Miracle Max for Lamelli, and even if the currently-active Pokemon were neck-and-neck from then on, it was an uphill struggle after that for me to try to stay enough ahead to KO either or both of your Pokemon. Great...

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    That went as well as it could, but still, frick. Not much we can do to avoid being KO'ed before you get a chance to attack, so just Blizzard as much as you can if you manage to survive long enough to do so. Blizzard x3

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    We're gonna have to take that Toxic, Sheena, but you'll win this round and there's an ever-so-tiny chance you can defeat Miracle Max, too. A Round would have been barely more than enough before Confide. If it's not quite enough any more, follow it up with a Bubble since that's your least...

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    Good work, Sheena! You've got her on the ropes, and it's anyone's battle now. Her Sp. Defense is down to horrible levels, and while she's faster than you, most of her movepool is either not very effective against us or has recoil, so our best strategy will be to keep the heat on her so she has...

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    Okay, there's not really anything in your moveset that could end Clamp early in the strictest adherence to the games' mechanics, so let's get creative instead! Start with Rock Smash. Try to find the best way to make a nice solid hit that isn't hampered by you punching in an awkward direction...

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    Keep up Echoed Voice! But if you get flinched or otherwise unable to use Echoed Voice, switch over to Hidden Power for the rest of the round. If you use Hidden Power and it turns out to be Fire-, Water-, Ice- or Steel-type, go with Round thereafter instead. Echoed Voice/Hidden Power/Round x3

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    OK, Sheena, hopefully this works right in our favor! With any luck, that Aqua Ring will try to use the oil below us and end up poisoning him instead of healing him, so we want to do our best to encourage him to do that! So wait and let him do it. If he does it, compound his worries with...

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    I don't believe you'll be able to make the KO in one hit even with Blizzard, sadly, so let's go a little slower and try to put ourselves in a better position for the next foe. Use Power-Up Punch until your Substitute breaks, after which hit the hopefully-final blow with an Ice Beam. If one Ice...

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    Set up a 20% Sub to absorb that Toxic and, I hope, both of the Night Slashes with a little bit leftover. Follow it up with two Ice Beams to soften Max up for the KO next turn. If for some wild, bizarre, out-there reason you get poisoned before you can set up the Sub, don't bother with it and...

    Frick. Let's send out Sheena the Froakie.

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    Ugh... This isn't going our way at all. Let's try some dirtier tactics; I have a half-baked plan that may or may not help us. Start off by Binding the bird in your tentacles. Then Fling yourself and him both off the platform and into the oil, and finally use Camoflage in the hope that it will...

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    Well, this isn't great, but maybe we can leverage it well. Not much you can do while you're asleep except to sleep talk. In the unlikely event you're awake on actions 1 or 2 and Secret Power inflicted a status effect on you, respond with facade (if you got poisoned, try to use it in such a way...

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    Go give him a taste of his own medicine with some foul play. If he flies out of range or you otherwise can't get to him, throw him a thunderbolt instead. If for some reason you can't do either of those, fall back on a double team maneuver to throw him off. Foul Play/Thunderbolt/Double Team x3

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    I do believe we just barely outspeed Max, so start off by stealing his held item, you little thief! Then make sure to let him know how spiteful you are at his repetition, and finish off with a good ol' rock slide to soften him up! Thief ~ Spite ~ Rock Slide

    JackPK vs Eta Carinae

    (Psst... by Eta Carinae's request, could we add direct healing to the banlist?) Well, since this arena is centered around the poison status condition, let's have some fun and not send out something immune to it quite yet. The more the risk, the more the reward, am I right? So let's send out...
