• 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.

    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?

Challenge for Stryke!

Format: 3v3; Singles
Style: Switch
DQ: 1 month
Damage Cap: 40
Banned/Restricted Moves: OHKOs, Perish Song, Moves that knock the user out.
Arena Description: Olivine’s Lighthouse
This arena is split into multiple different areas, and Pokémon in different areas can’t attack each other.
Based on the lighthouse in SoulSilver, the description is for anyone who doesn’t have the game.
  • Outside the lighthouse – Where the battle starts, it is a large clear area with precipitous cliffs to the south and east and the lighthouse proper along the north edge. The staris to the west are blocked off for the battle.

  • First Floor – This spacious, rectangular room has two rows of potted plants flanking the path to the broken elevator, there is a set of stairs leading to the second floor on the left. To the sides of the room, past the plants are tables with two chairs apiece.

  • Second Floor – This room is the same size and shape as the floor below, but it has a large wall running down the middle of the room from the north wall to the center, creating a U-like shape. The stairs from the First Floor and the ladder to the Third Floor are in the opposite extremes of the U.

  • Third Floor A – The Third Floor is a circular room, slightly smaller in diameter than the preceding room, split into two parts by a wall, Part A is the north eastern fourth and Part B is the remaining three fourths. Part A has two windows and both ladders, up and down, are close to each other.

  • Fourth Floor A – The fourth Floor is the mirror image of the Third Floor, with Part A being the three fourths part of the room. There is only a ladder going down, but there is a doorway leading to empty air in the extreme eastern wall. Any Pokémon using this doorway will fall onto the roof of the Second Floor. There is another window in the exterior wall beside the north aligned interior wall.

  • Second Floor Roof – This is the same size as the First and Second Floors, and has a bit of space between the edge and the wall of the Third Floor. The entrance to the Third Floor is in the southern wall. There isn’t much railing.

  • Third Floor B – The rest of the Third Floor. It has a few windows and the ladder up is in the northern part.

  • Fourth Floor B – Just like Third Floor A, only in the northwest corner.

  • Fifth Floor – A circular room with an interior wall running from the north wall to the center of the room. The ladder up is just to the east of the interior wall.

  • Lens Room – This is the top of the lighthouse, the ladder is inside a circle of lenses with an exit at the south edge. The walls of the room are made of glass with steel supports. The elevator at the north wall is broken, just like the one in the First Floor, but there is a league Kadabra next to it, which can be asked to teleport Pokémon only to the First Floor.
Additional Rules: Falling damage might be determined like the damage from Sky Drop, but that’s up to the ref. Pokémon are sent out in the outside field, no matter where their ally fainted. Pokémon and their trainers are in constant communication, despite being in different areas because of the Kadabra.

Accepted! This is sure to be an enlightening battle for me!

That pun was pretty bad, wasn't it...

I forgot to add how much time it takes to move between areas. Does one action sound good to you?

EDIT: We agreed on this in visitor messaging.

I need to get back in the swing of reffing more, so I'll take this! Thread'll be up in a jiffy.
 
Cancel my battle, gonna think of a new one with the update (and a simpler one).
 
A lot of people seem to have one, so...
MIMIKYU BATTLE ROYALE!
Format: 1 v. 1 v. 1 v. 1 (etc., just Mimikyus)

Style: Switch

DQ: 48 hours

Damage Cap: 20%

Banned/Restricted Moves: OHKO's

Arena Description: Welcome to the land of Mimikyu. A plain, no-bonus arena that will bend to a user's will a small bit, creating rocks, water, and anything else a Mimikyu will need to battle. Only Mimikyus can control it, though, as they're the only ones who know what it's like to feel so ALONE. Also, don't uproot any turf near the trainers... results aren't pretty...

Additional Rules: Mimikyu only.

My Mimikyu will be the BEST Mimikyu.

I believe I have an empty battle slot, as the Baby Bug Ball Brawl and my tournament battle don't take a slot (correct me if I'm wrong), so I'd like to be another battler!
 
I mean, if I can, Cynder. My battle is pretty much a joke battle, so... does that count, refs?
If so I call Stryke as my teammate.

Also, if I can, I'd like to cancel all of the battles I've taken that still need refs (specifically the ones with Dumbang, Sglod, and lasagnalover9), as they're probably not gonna be on the forums for a while.

I feel like we need MOAR REFS.
Be a good idea.

We're working on it, haha! A lot of the veteran-members are a little busy with work/adult life - I know zhorken spent a lot of time putting the sumo update together, and getting more refs set up is a fairly involved process (source: the ref quiz I took and will probably have to retake lmao, and that's only step one!)

More refs would definitely be a good thing though, especially with the update. Apply! Tell your friends!
 
Challenge for Flora!
Format: 2 vs. 2, singles
Style: Set
DQ: ...A month?
Damage Cap: 30%
Banned/Restricted Moves: Direct healing, OHKO
Arena Description: A minor, unsettled island in Alola, little more than a hundred metres in diameter. It's comprised mainly of sand, with some palm trees dotting the coast. The ocean provides ample sources of water for moves such as surf which require it.
Additional Rules: The tropical nature of this arena amplifies the effects of rain and intense sunlight by 1.25x and extends their effects by three actions, while diminishing the effect of hail by .75x and cutting its effect by three actions.

I'll take this, as long as none of the four of you will be horribly disappointed in my lack of familiarity with anything Alola!

Thread will be up soon-ish.
 
Heh, I don't have Sun or Moon either. But I do have MEMES!
 
Alright, I've updated the current challenge list, and stuck all the old ones in a hide box. If anyone wants to revive their challenge, feel free to repost it or just link to it.
 
Here's a battle that SS and I are going to ref for Flora, Murkrow, and Karousever!

Format: 1v1v1 single
Style: (Set)
DQ: 1 week
Damage Cap: 40%
Banned/Restricted Moves: None. Moves requiring non-pizza resources are fine, we'll make them work.
Arena Description: Giant Pizza Sailing Aimlessly Through Outer Space, Redux

There is yet another giant motherfucking PIZZA sailing through the motherfucking GALAXY. What're you gonna do, eat it? Nah, it's got mushrooms on it. Gross. Too gross to eat, but something like a large boulder or a Draco Meteor could totally blow a hole in it. Make sure you don't fall off! I heard that space is littered with giant fucking anchovies.

Additional Rules: The pizza is quite large, but should a Pokémon happen to fall off, there will be consequences... like, it might hurt, or something. I dunno, have you tried falling off a giant pizza sailing aimlessly through outer space? Flying and hovering Pokémon are equally susceptible to falling off the edge of the pizza, because anime physics. Direct healing, chills, and OHKOs are allowed, but a Pokémon will have to remain very still and concentrate very hard while using them... prime time to shove them into the deepest, darkest depths of outer space, wouldn't you say?
