Eta Carinae
I really loved that farm.
Format: 3v3 single
Style: Set
DQ: 2 weeks
Damage Cap: 40%
Banned/Restricted Moves: OHKOs, direct healers, Pain Split
Arena Description: The Type Cycler
A weird, cube-shaped room with walls that flicker all kinds of colors. At the end of every round, the lights come alive and descend upon the battling Pokemon, giving them each a randomly assigned new type. Single-typed Pokemon become double-typed, while double-typed Pokemon have their types shift over. In addition, they receive access to the movepool of a random Pokemon of their new type in addition to their original movepool; this new movepool vanishes from their knowledge when the new type is no longer present.
For example, a Fennekin and a Litleo are battling. They keep their original movepools throughout the battle.
- The first round ends, and new types are given: Fennekin becomes Fire/Dragon, gaining access to Shelgon's movepool, and Litleo becomes Normal/Ground, gaining access to Dugtrio's movepool.
- The second round ends: Fennekin becomes Dragon/Grass and has Shelgon's and Exeggcute's movepools; Litleo becomes Ground/Psychic and has Dugtrio's and Deoxys's movepools.
- The third round ends: Fennekin becomes Grass/Fighting and has Exeggcute's and Hitmonlee's movepools; Litleo becomes Psychic/Fire and has Deoxys's and Magby's movepools.
- Etc.

Queen Anne sat with a smitten grin as she listened to her trainer’s boring orders. His tirade over, she slunk back towards the center of the room and continued to stare at Sobek. She had checked out a while ago, her flight in paradise had already landed, and she not going to move as long as her piece of eyecandy hung around. Sobek, starting to feel a bit embarrassed, nonetheless put on another show. As if performing a half-second workout program, Sobek’s limbs and midriff began to shrink in size, fat disappearing into the aether. His chest and abdomen became more defined, and even his enormous chin seemed to recede. In Sobek’s place stood a much lither gator. Though the routine was based around increasing his agility, Anne saw it as a lot more. One could almost make out small cartoon hearts popping in the air above her head.
Sobek, with Anne in the palm of his hand, let his cheeks bulge as he flooded his mouth with water. He began to launch it at Anne, but not all at once. He sent out five different bursts, each one accompanied by a rippling soundwave. The water caused Anne to slink away, and the rings of blaring noise pushed her to throw her hands up and squeeze her ears shut. It was truly an assault on her senses. She opened her eyes, considerably upset with her object of interest. How could he think that drenching her would bring her to his arms? She was in a huff, stealing looks at his admirable physique before pulling herself back with pride. Any more of that and she’d be on him in an instant. She would not be playing Hard to Get, oh no, quite the opposite.
Still, she chose to silently quell her emotions instead of attacking Sobek. The Croconaw, his accidental plot having worked so well, was more than happy to see her continue to bide her time, particularly because he had felt something click within the deep recesses of his mind. One of his techniques, the heating of water in his belly, had not been lost forever. He was anxious to test it out again, and his trainer had obliged. Bringing another gallon of water to a boil, he spat this frothy liquid at Anne, who in that moment had just torn her eyes away. As a result, she yowled as blistering fluid soaked her. She shook herself in a rush, trying to cool off her body as well as she could. The specks of water hit the ground, where they quickly evaporated.
Though her skin had been baked, her heart had been chilled. Anne was no longer going to play around. Staring murderously at Sobek, she growled as electric currents began to course back and forth between the ends of her claws. Sobek backed up slightly; Anne was coming back to her senses it seemed. Trying to play the apologetic boyfriend card, Sobek began to plead. Anne tightened, part of her still longing for that dorky croc. But she knew she had to teach him a listen. Thrusting her arms outward, two twin bolts of electricity shot towards Sobek. The Croconaw shrieked as the electricity surged through his body, singeing his muscles and frying his skin. Anne continued to hold a look of vengeance on her face, but secretly she hoped she would not have to cause such pain again.
The Type Cycler never caused pain, it only brought happiness and joy. This round, the room embraced its love of simplicity. One wall shone a brilliant white, the other became darker than midnight. Whereas Queen Anne felt some of her natural tendencies return to her from the mysterious black wall, Sobek felt hardly different. The white wall released no tendrils of smoke or liquid, it merely existed. Sobek was a bit disappointed, and his rudimentary understanding of the room’s workings did not improve, but he felt that he hardly needed the boost the way the battle was going.

Arena Notes:
-Thanks to a couple of Bulldozes, the Type Cycler is starting to feel worn down. As of yet, this yields no change for the battlers
Ref Notes:
-You try writing a Croconaw using Rock Polish
-Queen Anne was immobilized by love on the first and second actions
-Queen Anne got her Dark typing back. The Cycler sure doesn’t want to let her give up her regular types. She got Umbreon’s moveset as well
-Sobek did in fact get a type, but it was only Normal, Noctowl movepool included
-Totodile commands next
