Alright, here we are, once again, for what appears to be a serious 3v3 fight! With baby Pokémon, though, so please enjoy the cute sight.
You may want to take a look at the rules: notice how this is a 1 Ability fight. An unusual sight these days, I wonder if that will affect the battle in some way...
And now for the traditional look at the teams! Nazrat's heavily Kingdom Hearts-inspired team (if my video game knowledge is on point) seems specially oriented. I'm particularly fond of Goomy myself, but I can see Koffing being a threat to nightblitz.
nightblitz himself brought 3 physical mons who incindetally have a slight weakness to special attacks but will be able to dish out hits.
No clear outcome just yet, I guess this will boil down to the Trainers' skill... and maybe a bit of luck as well? Let's toss that coin and begin!

Coin toss: 1-5000 Nazrat | 5001-10000 nightblitz
rolled 9435. ==> nightblitz!

Heading things off with Floatoy with Heatproof and Exp. Share.

"I don't care what attacks you use so long as you refrain from touching my beautiful hair."

 

[Nazrat]

Sending in Mudkip with Torrent and Amulet Coin

Let's get some mud on that mane! And did the referee mention Kingdom Hearts? If Sora means "sky", shouldn't that be Koffing's name?

Are you implying I messed up on my own Pokemon's nicknames? I would never... let's get back to this battle!

Scald - Mud Sport - Scald
[Non-consecutive] IF Floatoy uses Taunt, THEN use Protect and push back
IF Floatoy uses Dive, THEN use Dig and push back

 

[nightblitz42]

Well at least you gave the name to a sky-blue Pokemon I guess?

"Was this 'Sora' character known for being a filthy gremlin who flings mud at his beautiful opponents?"
Taunt ~ Taunt ~ Thunder Fang

The battle opens up with a duel of Water-type Pokémon! Mudkip tries to burn Floatoy, but to no avail, while falling for his opponent's petty taunts!
Floatoy then manages to swiftly bite Mudkip with a Thunder Fang, gaining the HP lead at the end but having expended a significant amount of EN in the process.
Also, if these names don't come from KH then I have no clue about their origin! That's all for this round!​

IF Mud Sport outside of combination AND Mudkip is NOT Taunted THEN Taunt and reset orders.

This round sees Water-types trying to throw Water-type moves at other Water-types and hoping for the best. While Mudkip tries fishing (heh) for a burn, it is unsuccessful, while Floatoy continues its relentless barrage of Thunder Fangs. Mudkip cleverly manages to evade one of them by delaying its attack, though in the end it's still lagging behind in terms of HP...​

smh I thought Bide could be Taunted. I'm really getting burned on this deal...

Let's make sure we burn her right back, the slimy sea witch!

Scald + Mud Sport - Cooldown (Dig) - Scald + Scald

IF Floatoy would use Electric type combination THEN Dig and push back all actions
IF Floatoy would use Thunder Fang THEN Counter and push back all actions

 

[nightblitz42]

Oh wow. I didn't sub for it because I thought it was x1.25 damage. If I knew it was x1.75 I definitely would've spent a sub on it.

"Sea witch, huh? Well we'll 'sea which' Pokemon is left laughing after I'm through with you!"

Facade ~ Thunder Fang ~ Facade
IF [Scald+Mud Sport] is illegal THEN Facade a2, Thunder Fang a3.

 

[TMan87]

I can kind of see how the combo would work so it's a pass from me.

Why do you have a Lucky Egg? It has no effect anymore.

The Beginner's Guide says players start with a Lucky Egg, although I'm pretty sure that isn't the case anymore...
You can switch items if you want, I don't mind.

Hey, that second sub reminds me of a match I played against Frosty years ago -- I was using a Shinx and I think I wrote the same exact sub almost verbatim!

"Sounds like a mundane thing to remember after all this time."

Well, I guess you could say I remember it as sort of a "learning moment." I sure had a lot of "learning moments" back then...

Well, Floatoy didn't bite its way out of this, but it still managed to take Goomy with it as they both faint from exhaustion this round! See now that's a lesson in energy management: think wisely about how your opponent can abuse your subs... and remember bringing an opponent's HP to 0 isn't the only way to win in BBP!
Can Nazrat recover from this devastating blow? Will they manage to turn tables with some clever trick of their own? This is getting spicy!​
