All right... Since I don't know what you know and what you don't know, and you might not know what you know and don't know, and I don't know whether or not you know what you know and don't know...

I'll take things from the top. The goal of the game is to KO all your opponent's Pokemon before your opponent KO's all of your Pokemon. Pokemon are KO'd when they run out of HP (Hit Points) or EN (Energy). You spend EN to perform attacks, and you lose HP when you get hit by attacks. That's the basics.

There isn't a clear challenger/seeker in this match, so let's just roll a die...
1 = nightblitz42 first order, 2 = ancientcrucible first order
(rolled 2)

My sendout, your order.

I'll send out Togepi. Now it's your turn to send out a Pokemon, and also you have to order for your next 3 actions. Something like, "Move A > Move B > Move C".

After that, throw in one or two Substitutions (IF/THEN statements) to deal with any moves I have that look dangerous. "IF [move A] THEN use Protect if Protect wasn't already used last action" is a decent Substitution.

What I'm saying is, your orders will probably look something like this:

Move A > Move B > Move C
(sub 1:) IF (move) THEN (response)...
(sub 2:) IF (move) THEN (response)...

You don't have to overthink it -- this is just a practice battle, after all. If you've got any questions, just ask.

Serene Math

A1

Aron: Iron Head
Crit = 1/24 (rolled 8)
Damage = (8+3+6-6)*1.5 = 16.5 damage (63hp)
Effect chance = .3 (rolled .1): FLINCH!
-5en (95en)

Togepi flinched!

A2

Aron: Stealth Rock
Pointed stones were spread across nightblitz42's side of the field!
-11en (84en)

Togepi: Water Pulse
Crit = 1/24 (rolled 23)
Damage = (6-1+4-4)*1.5 = 7.5 damage (72hp)
Effect chance = .2*2 = .4 (rolled .6)
-4en (96en)

A3

Aron: Iron Head
Crit = 1/24 (rolled 9)
16.5 damage (46hp)
Effect chance = .3 (rolled .5)
-5en (79en)

Togepi: Water Pulse
Crit = 1/24 (rolled 23)
7.5 damage (64hp)
Effect chance = .2*2 = .4 (rolled .6)
-8en (88en)

Unfortunately for me, Aron caused Togepi to flinch a1, costing me an action. Furthermore, those Stealth Rocks are going to injure Zubat when I send it out. This is looking quite poor for me.

You'll notice that Togepi's a3 Water Pulse cost more EN than the previous Water Pulse. That's because performing the same attack over multiple consecutive actions incurs a Consecutive Energy Cost penalty -- each consecutive use bumps up the price by 4 EN until you stop using the move. 4 EN isn't much, but over repeated uses it adds up.

[nightblitz42]

Since you ordered first last round, I have to order first this round. However, with the burden of ordering first comes an opportunity: I can initiate a Switch Phase before I order. A Switch Phase is exactly what it sounds like -- a phase in which both Trainers can switch their Pokemon. It's definitely a bad move for me to make right now, but...

...I get the feeling that I might not get another chance to demonstrate it, since only the player ordering first can initiate a Switch Phase. Initiating a Switch Phase looks like this:

Switching Togepi for Zubat.
AncientCrucible counterswitch?

This leaves you with two choices:

• Decline to counterswitch: Aron stays in play. I send in Zubat. I order first, as usual.
• Counterswitch: I send in Zubat. You replace Aron with one of your benched Pokemon. You order first.

One more thing: no matter which response you choose, I'm not allowed to initiate another Switch Phase next round. So, what's your response?

 

[AncientCrucible]

Decline to counterswitch

 

[nightblitz42]

All right, time to show off some flying skills! Fly is considered a Damaging Evasive Move (D/E Move). It's called such because it makes the user immune to most attacks for a short time before dealing damage. By default, Fly's evasive phase begins when Zubat acts at +0 priority and ends at -2 priority that same action. However, if it is Suspended then Zubat won't exit its evasive phase until the following action, at +0 priority. I'll use a few variations of Fly now to demonstrate.

Fly > Fly (Suspend) > Fly (Attack)

To recap:

• a1: Zubat will fly into the sky at +0 priority and swoop back down at -2 priority.
• a2: Zubat will fly into the sky at +0 priority.
• a3: Zubat will swoop down at +0 priority.
• While Zubat is in the sky, it is immune to most attacks.

Not bad! Your combination had an attack priority of -2, because combinations without a high-priority move get a -2 priority penalty. After using it, Aron entered a Cooldown state that prevents it from acting or switching until the end of next action. And as for the damage the combination did...

...Wow! Arceus be damned, at this rate Nazrat's gonna get his Zubat back on a gurney!! I need to figure out a way to explain this to him that won't get me chewed out.

Ohhh, now here's a Substitution I can have some fun with! For example, If I were to use Torment (making Head Smash unusable), your Substitution would become unable to trigger for the remainder of the round. That's because Substitutions that would cause the user to Struggle are ignored.

I found something more interesting to do, though...

Post-Round
Aron's Defense decayed to +1

What a busy round! Where do I begin... First off, Cooldown has a unique quirk: it doesn't reset the Consecutive Energy Cost. Furthermore, using a Same-Move Combination (Head Smash + Head Smash) counts as two uses of Head Smash. Therefore, using the sequence: [Head Smash + Head Smash] > Cooldown > Head Smash causes the third Head Smash to incur an extra +8 EN cost. And in a Combination, this penalty ends up getting magnified.

Your Substitution triggered a2 because I used Fly even though it was in a Combination. Substitutions will trigger from combinations unless you specify otherwise.

And finally, of course, your orders a3 were nullified by Cooldown.

Whoops, forgot to mention last round: modified stats decay towards their natural state at the end of a round if they weren't modified that round. Because Aron's Defense wasn't modified last round, it was lowered from +2 to +1 afterwards.

All right, you know what happens when a Pokemon runs out of EN -- the same thing that happens when it runs out of HP! ...Kinda. Here's the order of operations:

If you don't have enough EN to pay for a move, you can still perform it successfully, but you faint afterwards. There are a few moves such as Explosion or Destiny Bond that require the entire EN cost to be paid; however, these moves are unusual exceptions and they make their requirements clear in their move descriptions.

Combinations are another story. All Combinations have a Base EN Cost equal to the combined cost of performing the two moves on their own. If you can pay the base EN cost, you can perform the Combination. Otherwise, the Combination fails and the user faints. With that in mind:

Protect > Steel Wing > Protect
[2 subs]: ONCE IF Chill OR Rock Polish THEN Taunt, pushing back.

Nicely done! We both have to replace our Pokemon now. When that happens, the person who orders second always sends out first. It makes a "snake" pattern like so:

A3

Brattler: Vine Whip
Crit = 1/24 (rolled 21)
Damage = 5+3+8-6 = 10 damage (26hp)

Full Paralysis chance = 15% (rolled .13)
Togepi was unable to move!
-10% Paralysis (5%)

Post-Round
-5% Paralysis: Togepi's Paralysis wore off!

How terrible! Togepi was immobilized by Paralysis a1, missed a2, and then got immobilized again a3. But on the upside, it's not Paralyzed any more! Paralysis starts with (at most) 25% intensity and gets reduced by 10% when a Pokemon is immobilized. It also decays 5% at the end of each round.

What a nightmare! I'd better use a healing move before Togepi faints!

Morning Sun > Flamethrower > Dazzling Gleam
IF Togepi fails to act due to Paralysis a1 THEN push back actions AND subs.
IF damaging Grass-Type combination THEN Protect, pushing back.

That first Substitution triggers off of a Chance Clause -- in other words, it has a trigger which doesn't depend on the opponent's choice of moves. In this case, it checks for Full Paralysis. Chance Clauses are useful for checking all sorts of unpredictable things, such as missed attacks, status conditions, weather, remaining HP, whether attacks triggered their secondary effects, and so on. And, unlike with Attack Clauses, there's no limit to how many Chance Clauses you can fit into one sub with AND statements!

You already know what "push back actions" means, but the "push back subs" part means that all mentions of "a1", "a2", or "a3" in my substitutions get pushed back 1 action. "a1" turns into "a2", "a2" turns into "a3", and so on. That way, my first sub will be able to trigger again if Togepi is stunned for multiple actions in a row.

Nice catch! Even though Brattler got burned a2, it hardly took any damage because it used Aromatherapy a3. Also, Togepi's Special Attack rank was modified this round, so its existing Special Attack reduction didn't decay.

I'd love to switch Pokemon to get rid of the stat reductions, but without a surviving teammate that won't be possible...

Togepi: Cooldown

I mentioned before that Substitutions can never cause your Pokemon to Struggle. However, anything else is fair game. It's possible for Substitutions to call moves that will fail, have no effect, or even cause the user to faint!

That being said, though, your orders weren't weak by any means. The EN cost for this round crippled Togepi but the payoff was only middling. Plus, because your second sub didn't push back actions, Togepi still ended up getting Snarled at... I guess spending so much EN on that healing move earlier left me with too little to spend on such expensive tricks.
