Lilypad vs. Zero Moment

Hmm... See if you can stay in the air and muster up a one-action Razor Wind for me. If you can't, just chill up there. If he tries to knock you out of the sky, or you can't chill, protect yourself. Next, try to combine flying down and Steel Wing into one - if you can't, try Flying Down and Peck, if you cant do that, just fly down. Finally, if you did a combo, rest, if not, fly back up.

Since she's way too high up for you to hit, she's too high up to hit you. Use Acid Armor to pump that defense even more. Next, she's gonna whack you with a strong, sensible combo. It's gonna deal some good damage even through your buffs, so give it back and more with a Counter. If Murphy takes a good look at both moves' accuracy and decides that it misses, use Rock Slide. End it with a(nother) mega-buffed Rock Slide.

We are playing... in a giant litter box. That's right, a giant litter box. Of course the trainers are standing outside of it, and besides it's clean anyway... right? Ground and rock type attacks are boosted 3%. Obvious cat types (Skitty, Purrloin, Meowth, Glameow, maybe more) gain 1.2x speed.​

Twitch stares down at the pinprick that is Sinh, wondering just how she’s supposed to aim an attack at her. Figuring that it’s pointless, she chooses instead to relax, soaring calmly on a restful breeze. Meanwhile, Sinh’s acidic coating seems to be doubling, tripling even, so much slime covering the little dragon that it appears to be more slop than actual pokemon.

Twitchwing snaps awake - she wasn’t asleep, honest - and rockets down, wings hardening at her sides until they’re solid steel and she pivots straight towards the goomy but —

She’s going too fast, her wings are too hard to aim properly and she loses control, skidding clumsily into the sand. She’s not hurt, thankfully, just completely shocked. Fortunately, so is Sinh. The goomy was totally prepared, and bracing for, the impact, and without it she’s left with nothing. She grunts her frustration; least she wasn’t hurt…

But the bird is totally prone now, anyway. She wiggles her tiny arms and draws the sand around her into the air, hardening it until it forms solid rock-like formations, then bringing them back down hard on their prey. Twitching shrieks with each hit, trying to flap her way back into the sky and avoid the barrage of rocks, but when she finally makes it they’ve all but fallen.​

Arena Notes:
A steadily increasing amount of sand from the edges of the box has been dislodged. A good amount of sand in the area that the battlers are on has been dislodged into uneveness, but the tunnel that Rex dug through has already sank into solid shape again.

Final Notes:
  • Flying up high enough to dodge attacks means that you’re too high to hit your opponent, so Twitchwing chilled first action.
  • Combo missed… bad luck there.
  • Counter has to be prepared ahead of time, and so Sinh couldn’t switch to Rock Slide after the combo missed.
  • ZM next.

Start off with an Infestation, then hit with a Secret Power, then Hidden Power. If she's untouchable, then, eh, Acid Armor some more. If she's untouchable and you're Taunted, then Tackle around I guess.

------------------------------​

With a determined little chirp Twitchwing decides to try her luck again, spreading her tiny wings for liftoff. She pushes herself hard off the ground with her feet, flapping her wings madly until she manages to catch a breeze and flutter up several feet above the litterbox. Undeterred, Sinh simply spreads out her goop to melt down into the ground, excreting yet more slime from her pores to reinforce her sludgy armor, and waits. Screeching her very best battle cry, Twitchwing hurtles down from above, folding her wings to her sides for further momentum, and slashes across Sinh's slime with her beak. The thick coating not only protects Sinh from a lot of the attack, but splatters all over Twitchwing's feathers, bogging them down even more.

Irritated, Twitchwing peels her slime-covered wings from her sides and flaps them commandingly, stirring up a wave of hot air that rushes Sinh's way. The Goomy closes her eyes, but otherwise doesn't seem too bothered by the rush of heat that washes over her skin. She takes a deep breath, tiny body inflating, and unleashes a beam of beige light Twitchwing's way, laced with particles of sand from the litterbox. The Fletchling cries out as the impact makes her lose her balance in the air and falls face-first into the litter. Sitting up, she shakes her head madly, attempting to blink bits of sand out of her eyes.

Her eyes watering, Twitching turns to face the outline that looks like Sinh and calls up another blast of hot wind, the air in front of her crackling from the heat as it rushes forward. By sheer luck her aim is true, and Sinh burbles a little in discomfort as she waits for the heat to abate. The Draco Plate around her neck begins to glow as she taps into its power, summoning up a circle of violet orbs that fly, one by one, in Twitchwing's direction. The blinded Fletchling warbles in pain as the Dragon-type energy strikes her and falls on her side in the dirt, twitching.

  • A steadily increasing amount of sand from the edges of the box has been dislodged. A good amount of sand in the area that the battlers are on has been dislodged into uneveness, but the tunnel that Rex dug through has already sank into solid shape again.

Damage and Energy
  • Twitchwing's Health: 78% - 9% (Secret Power) - 7% (Hidden Power) = 62%
  • Twitchwing's Energy: 87% - 7% (Fly) - 5% (Heat Wave) - 5% (Heat Wave) = 70%
  • Sinh's Health: 79% - 7% (Fly) - 6% (Heat Wave) - 6% (Heat Wave) = 60%
  • Sinh's Energy: 77% - 2% (Acid Armor) - 5% (Secret Power) - 1% (Hidden Power) = 69%

Notes
  • Speed order: Twitchwing (24) > Sinh (20).
  • I went with sandy terrain for Secret Power. It lowered Twitchwing's Accuracy by one stage.
  • Sinh's Hidden Power was Dragon-type thanks to her Draco Plate.
  • Lilycolo commands first.
 
While it's not time yet, Lilycolo hasn't been on for a few days, so I'd like to give her a chance to actually get online, if Zero Moment is okay with that. Your slots are full, though, so if you'd like to get this over with I can DQ her when the time comes in a few hours.
 
thank you for your mercy!

mmkai lets see here how about a base natural gift x3. if she protects then fly up and come down on her next action. if you get a status bring on that facade.

Au-Natural Gift/Fly/Facade x3
 
Huh, that's an interesting effect for Natural Gift. It's not going to do any real damage, though.

The ultimate showdown between bird and goop continues...

Bird is the first to move, firing off a beam of bright white light from her beak. As it travels through the air, however, the beam takes a more solid form, and Sinh's gooey hide sucks most of that right up. The Goomy is hardly fazed as she calls up heaps of sand from the depths of the litter box, which harden into a flurry of rocks that rain down upon little bird. Bird cheeps in pain as the stones dig into her feathers, but manages to persevere. She launches another deceptively-physical beam assault, and goop almost lazily retaliates with a forceful squish into the ground.

More litter-rocks rise from the sand, pummeling bird with sharp and gross pieces of littery rock. Twitchwing cries out in distress, hiding her vulnerable head desperately beneath her wing to no avail. She peeks out only long enough to unleash a third white beam and quickly takes shelter again, knowing what's coming. And indeed, goop goops back just a little from the force of her opponent's attack before summoning up yet more rocks to batter down poor little bird as she squeals in agony.

Alright, she's gonna be trying to avoid hits this round, not much we can do about that. Shock Wave first, Body Slam after, and Dragon Pulse last. The first time you can't touch her, Rain Dance. Any time after, Chill.
