The Challenge Board

[Squornshellous Beta]

Not only has that challenge been accepted, but it's been reffed and is now complete. Sorry.

 

[shy ♡]

Guys, there is a limit on how many battles you can be in, and most of you have passed or at least reached that limit. Zora has three challenges and at least two battles currently proceeding; multiple other people are in similar situations. Seriously guys, you can wait to make challenges until one of your battles has finished.

 

[BlackTitress]

3vs3
Style:Switch
DQ: Standard Week
Damage Cap:30%
Banned and Restricted Moves: OHKO attacks, Flash, Trick Room, Magic Room, weather attacks, Morning Sun, Moonlight
Arena: The Black Room

This room, as is stated, is completely black, yet Pokemon can still be seen clearly in the darkness. A neon green line outlines the battlefield, so Pokemon don't accidentally run into walls. Due to colour contrast, Flash isn't allowed in the room for risk of causing blindness. The man who created this room also added some odd things that can happen.

Each turn there is:

10% chance of the effect of Telekinesis.
10% chance of the effect of Gravity.
3% of the lights going out for a round, meaning the pokemon may accidentally run into a wall (or each other) for 2% damage.

Be careful now!

Note: I would like it if the challenger is prepared to play it to the end.

I'll take it if I can, I want another battle up and running... (Steel Scyther 'n me don't seem to be getting any progress there...)

Anyways, my profile is where it needs be. (I hope theres record of Avery's ability, else I ain't using him...)

 

[JackPK]

Indeed, that challenge was taken and completed already. I intended to bring that up upon posting my next challenges, but I guess I procrastinated too long. Oh well.

Two challenges today. Same specs, but I'll repost them twice just for ease. I don't want to fight the same person on both arenas, thanks kindly.

2v2 Single Battle
Switch
DQ: Standard week
Damage cap: 49% (unless you'd rather something else)
Banned/restricted moves: OHKOs; cumulative 50% direct healing*
* as many healing moves allowed as needed to reach this cap

Arena: Kraken's Lair

The Kraken's Lair is a dismal cave deep in the ocean, far from human eyes. The Trainers and referee have deep-sea scuba suits, but we haven't got any for the Pokemon, so only Pokemon who can fare well underwater are usable. (This means you can use most but not all Water-types {bird- or mammal-based Water types like Swanna or Buizel can't breathe underwater} as well as anything that doesn't need to breathe at all like Magnemite or Gastly.)

Because it's so dark deep underwater, we've had to bring a ridiculously oversized waterproof flashlight that lights approximately a football-field sized area of the cave. A Pokemon with eyes will suffer a 50% accuracy reduction if its target is outside the flashlight area. The depths of the ocean being full of scary, creepy-crawly fishes, no Pokemon will venture outside the flashlight area unless commanded by its Trainer.

If the Pokemon make enough of a racket during their battle, especially in such manner as to jostle the rock wall of the cave, the Kraken deep below will awaken, angered. (How much racket this takes is up to the ref, but it shouldn't be so easy as to occur more than 1-3 times in the battle.) When the Kraken awakens, it will squirt a powerful stream of ink into the battle area and attack with its tentacles. The stream of ink creates the underwater equivalent of the move Smokescreen; and both Pokemon will be targeted with the Kraken's tentacles once with Double Hit. After attacking, the Kraken will fall asleep again.

2v2 Single Battle
Switch
DQ: Standard week
Damage cap: 49% (unless you'd rather something else)
Banned/restricted moves: OHKOs; cumulative 50% direct healing*
* as many healing moves allowed as needed to reach this cap

Arena: Mystic Locus

We battle in a mystical other dimension. Material is formed as needed for attacks and Pokemon; thus a water source for Surf, rocks for Rock Slide, etc. will appear out of the aether as needed. At the end of each round, a random non-Self-targeting move* will mysteriously form from the dimensional material and target one or both of the Pokemon battling.

* Therefore nothing along the lines of Acupressure, Howl, etc. Non-damaging attacks that target the enemy, like Swagger, can be called. (If I were reffing this, the easiest way I could think of doing this mechanic is to use a Metronome generator and reroll if it calls a Self-targeting move.)



EDIT: Just so nobody gets confused, both of these challenges have now been taken, by Grass King and Steel Scyther, respectively.

I accpet this challenge! I am now full on battles.

 

[Negrek]

Rescinded. Pretend this was never here.

 

[Spatz]

You're maxed on challenges and cannot accept this one.

I only have two...

 

[Sweet Silver Nightmare]

Would like to issue a challenge...

3vs3 single
Style: Switch
DQ: Standard week
Damage Cap: 30%
Banned Moves: OHKO's, chills limited to 5/pokémon, direct healing moves limited to 3/pokemon.
Arena: Standard Pokemon Stadium

A normal, run of the mill stadium (with retractable roof, allowing for Weather moves), with stands for spectators and all. Its mostly made out of marble, however, and is extremely prone to damage from Area attacks, like Earthquake.

 

[Lord of the Fireflies]

3v3 double
Set
DQ: 5 days
Damage Cap: 60%
Banned Moves: OHKO's, Evasion
Arena: Giant Spider Web

It's a giant spider web. The floor is sticky and weblike (of course), and even though it's giant, it's still a spiderweb, so no Pokemon taller/longer than three meters (METRIC HELL YEAH) can battle, since it also has a web roof. Also, all non-Bug types start at -1 Speed.

God this is old. Accepted!

[Cap'n Sofa]

3vs3 single
Style: Switch
DQ: One week
Damage Cap: 35%
Banned Moves: One-hit KO's, any move abnormally altering time or space (including Gravity), Ground-type moves
Arena: Dimensional Realm

The dimensional realm is an interesting one--devoid of everything but air, heat, and light which seems to come from all directions with no visible source. If a Pokemon needs a substance for a move, such as water, it appears for them. Due to the realm's nature, it does not allow moves altering dimensions. Therefore, moves which would disturb time or space in any abnormal way (INCLUDING GRAVITY) are prohibited from use, as it is not known what may happen to the Pokemon using it. Gravity itself does not exist--all Pokemon are treated as inherently hovering in this arena.

Other: All Pokemon inherently hover--Ground moves are to no effect.

I accept! I only have two battles going. EDIT: Wah sorry Cap'n, I just saw that since Negrek drew back her previous statement of me being full on battles and allowing me to TAKE ONE MORE, I am technically full on battles and cannot take this one as much as I'd love to...sorry D:

I'll take this if no-one else has.

EDIT: I'm also making a battle challenge, which puts me at the limit if it gets accepted.

6vs6 Single battle
Switch
DQ: Standard week
Banned/Restricted: 1 direct heal per Pokemon. No OHKOs

Arena: Perfect Cookie
The battle takes place on a giant cookie. Not only is it the most delicious, well-made cookie you've ever seen, it is also magical. Water sources, rocks, etc. will appear when needed and magically disappear afterwards. Also, the cookie is so delicious that eating some will heal your Pokemon by 10%, although it takes an action to do so. Any sand, water, etc. on the part they are eating will temporarily vanish. Anyone jumping or falling off the cookie will take 10% damage and reappear in the middle of the cookie.
I feel like it should be longer...

Sorry, but this one has been accepted too, and is currently underway.
