Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Format: 2 v 2 single
Style: set
DQ: two weeks
Damage Cap: 45%
Banned/Restricted Moves: ohko, pure recovery moves, rest
Arena Description: A large field of shin-high grass stretches farther than the eye - or anyone's pair of binoculars - can see. A stream flows from north to south through the arena, with a few scattered rocks by its edge. It's about a meter and a half wide, and half a meter deep. It isn't flowing very fast; just about any Pokémon that can swim should be fine if they fall in.

Guess I'll take this one. Feel free to take your time with the first set of commands, btw, 'cuz I'll probably be fairly busy until the 13th?
Meowth
but is a sheep entering.
just fyi, always use fractions or preferably decimals for this sort of thing ("1/4 more damage" or "1.25x damage"), since "25% damage" is taken to mean 25 whole HP of damage in ASB, which I doubt is what you mean.
And while I'm here, imma claim Gevaisa vs DarkAura to try and get my reffing legs back. (I've not been added to the list of approved referees in the Ref HQ or anything, but Zhorken said in the re-opening announcement that I didn't need to retake the entry test or anything so I'm assuming I'm good.)

And an open challenge, I guess.
Format: 2 v 2 singles
Style: switch
DQ: two weeks
Damage Cap: 45%
Banned/Restricted Moves: ohko, direct recovery, rest, chill limited to 3 per pokemon
Arena Description: A stand of tall evergreen trees are covered in snow. The hill they're standing on is covered in snow. I'm covered in snow. Everything is covered in snow. The snow isn't very deep yet, only about 4 or 5 inches, but it's still coming down at about an inch or two every round. If the snow gets to be over a foot deep, non-Ice Pokémon on the ground are reduced one stage in speed. Rain Dance has the same effect as Hail, and both last for 8 actions instead of the usual 5. The clouds are too thick for Sunny Day to take effect.

For Dazel, here's the battle I promised you forever ago!
Format: 2v2 double
Style: Set
DQ: 10 days
Damage Cap: 40%
Banned/Restricted Moves: OHKOs, direct recovery, Wish and Rest, chills limited to three per Pokemon
Arena Description: There's nothing special about this abandoned research facility: linoleum floors, brick walls, confusingly placed corridors, decaying a bit. The sole lightsource of the room the battle takes place in is a chandelier on the ceiling. If its supports are destroyed, the chandelier will fall, plunging the arena into darkness and dealing heavy Steel type damage to whatever or whoever it lands on. A persistent leak in the corner can serve as enough water for moves that need it, like Surf.

Format: 2v2 single
Style: Switch
DQ: 1 week
Damage Cap: None!
Banned/Restricted Moves: All but Metronome, chills limited to 2 per Pokemon; only unevolved Pokemon allowed
Arena Description: What do you mean I can't learn Metronome?
A group of scientists researching the mechanics behind move learning have created a certainly non-Asber-FDA-approved drug that allows any Pokemon to temporarily learn Metronome, and the battling trainers and referee have been coerced/forced into helping test said drug. However, it's not entirely perfect yet; instead of spurring a steady waving of fingers (Metronome ~ Metronome ~ Metronome), the drug prompts a frenzied attack combination that is similar to using Metronome + Metronome + Metronome (so Pokemon that can't learn Metronome naturally must always be commanded with this string.) Also, Pokemon that can't learn Metronome naturally, being ravaged internally by the drug's side-effects, will take 2% damage at the end of every round. The actual battle takes place in a private testing facility, which is just a white-walled, fairly spacy room.

Banned/Restricted Moves: OHKO moves, direct recovery moves, and Earthquake/Earth Power
Arena Description: The Soaked City at Night
Thunder echoing across a long distance, this is the pinnacle of human architecture and technology; a gigantic, sprawling city, wrapped in miles of endless roads, and boasted a population of well in the millions of humans and pokemon. The city is planted with hundreds of sleek skyscrapers and dark buildings, yet despite the sheer scale of the city, and the number of living organisms, it was a remarkably clean metropolis, thanks to of course the abundance of services of pokemon and officials.
Normally battles are very difficult to hold outside. Of course, there were facilities specialized for battling, but with the sheer amount of trainers, it was rare to find one that was available making, the only other options to either host underground battles and risk incarceration, or to leave. This battle is one of the former.
The time of day is barely past eight o'clock. The city was much more quiet than usual, having endured a sudden deluge and lightning. This of course makes it much easier to host an underground battle, over a lonely street, as there was no business to be had in an empty neighbourhood. This road is 30 by 10 meters, and is completely abandon at night, other than the occasional Rattata and Pidgey, surrounded by somewhat tall but desolate apartments, relics of the city at it's older years. The weather is murky. but slowly clearing into a beautiful night skyline, and the thunder grows quieter and quieter by the minute
Due to the recent weather, fire moves are slightly weakened by 1% due to the damp covering the ground. Additionally, due to the wet surface and the electrifying air, electric moves are somewhat powered by 1%, though this water can be dried with heat and wind, and eventually the air will be normal, so this can be removed over the course of the battle. Also, the black, shiny road is very slippery, making it difficult for heavier pokemon to move properly.
As a last note, this is still an illegal battle in the eyes of the city. Although this area is usually isolated from the pell-mell, there still runs a risk of the police arriving. Property damage and sound based attacks will make it more likely to give the location away. If they do show up, then the battle will be relocated to a different area in the city, such as a nearby empty warehouse or alleyway.
