[Battling 101] Tutor Rainman vs Tutee Exclaimer

[Rainman Legends]

Hello Exclaimer, This will be your Battling 101 thread. If you are not Exclaimer, me, or Frosty please refrain from posting in here. Lets start with the very basics here: The Rules.

2v2 Singles <-- This means the match will be 2v2, but i allowed you to bring 3. This means you get to choose which 2 you want to use. This is a good and a bad thing as you can choose which pokemon has a matchup advantage, but you also can get a pokemon you don't want forced in by a phazing move.
DQ: 48h <-- Should be self explanatory, how much time you have to post before you get a warning/DQed
2 Recoveries, 5 Chills per mon <-- This means you have 2 recovery moves (list is in handbook), 5 chills (command to recover EN) per pokemon, infinite is also common here
Two Substitutions per pokemon excluding KO Substitutions. <-- Self explanitory, how many subs you have per pokemon
One Mega Evolution <-- Self Explanitory
Switch = OK <-- This means you have the ability to switch out if you're ordering first (except if you have switched out previous round), another option here is Switch=KO, which means you cannot switch out at all
Abilities = ALL <-- This means all pokemon get access to all unlocked abilities, other options here are Abilities=1, and Abilities=2
Items = Training <-- This means that pokemon can only equip items that boost counters. These are Exp Share (MC), Amulet Coin (CC), Lucky Egg (EC or AC), and Luck Incense (CC). Other options here are Items=All, and Items=None
Arena: ASB Tournament Arena <-- This means Standard Arena will be used where all moves can be used. It is assumed to be standard for all moves.

Lets start things off simple
Magby takes nothing

Fire Blast-->Flamethrower-->Fire Blast

 

[Exclaimer]

Protect -- Calm Mind -- Confusion

 

[Rainman Legends]

Ok, lets look over your orders briefly. Protect is a decent move that allows for you to stall out a round to get out of a bad matchup. However, Teleport's second effect (Teleport Evasive) allows you to do the same effect (except against spread moves) for 7 EN (6 after STAB). Calm Mind is a very mediocre move as it leaves you wide open while you gain a measly +1 SpAtk and +1 SpDef. Unfortunately stat ups are very mediocre themselves as they only add a +2 outside of the SE/NVE multiplier. Confusion is a decent attacking move, but as it has 5 BAP, it would only do 9.5 Damage (5+3+3-1.5) while psyshock wouldve done 11 Damage (8+3+3-3). The order set i wouldve done might have been Teleport (Evasive)-->Psyshock-->Teleport (Evasive) as it allows you to keep your EN pool up, get a good hit in, and allow you to switch out to a better matchup.

[Exclaimer]

Protect -- Teleport (Switch) -- Psyshock

If Sunny Day is used, use Psyshock and push actions back, but only once.

 

[Rainman Legends]

Not a bad order set. Protect while ordering first can be extremely extremely risky, especially with larger movepool pokemon. Thankfully, as we are dealing with baby pokemon, its not too risky. Teleport (Switch) while a good move to get a matchup, is extremely risky ordering first. Not only do you do nothing that action, you also order first next round. Psyshock is a good move as usual to get damage in. I wouldve done straight up damage racing to get some damage in on Mabgy, but these are decent orders too.

If Magby uses a P/E move or Will-o-Wisp, then Colosshale uses Substitute(15) and pushes actions back.

 

[Rainman Legends]

Good order set, once you get the matchup advantage go for the damage race, especially ones you know the opponent can't win. However, BIG issues with the subs. P/E is a good sub, but have a clause for a non consecutive/successful P/E move since i can just go Protectx3 and it will force you into Substitute (15 HP)x3. Same issue with will-o-wisp but both of thes can be solved by adding a (if you don't have a substitute up) clause. These sort of mistakes are fine. Just take this as a learning experience in making good subs.

Good strategy. You noticed my subs forcing you into a certain move. This is usually the aim of subs. To avoid having certain moves used and to force others into being used. Now just to see if that 30% chance will kick in.
