Both opponents are battled at the same time. Battle Info

Cipher's team consists of one randomly chosen lead Pokemon and one pre-determined Shadow Pokemon per trainer, for a total of four Pokemon.
Cipher never leads with their Shadow Pokemon, but may in general have any two of their four Pokemon in play.
Cipher sends out first.
Cipher's Inventory: 2× Shadow Potion
Shadow Potion:Restores HP equal to (Max HP - Current HP)/2, capped at 40 HP.
The Pokemon this is used on has 100% evasion during this action.
Can only be used on Shadow Pokemon.
If Cipher has any Shadow Potions in their inventory, each of the challenger's Pokemon has unlimited subs of the form "IF X is under the effects of Shadow Potion THEN ...".
Soaring above the punishing desert region of Orre, Orre's Realgam Tower's high-rise Colosseum invites one and all to gather and witness Pokemon battles of staggering intensity. Inside, visitors can find luxurious suites and endless entertainment. However, its glistening facade masks its intended purpose.
The criminal organization known as Cipher has constructed Orre's Realgam as its headquarters, intending to attract strong trainers and turn their Pokemon into Shadow Pokemon. These frightening and more violently-tempered battlers are used to steal even more Pokemon from their trainers, perpetuating a violent cycle that only a powerful and heroic trainer can hope to break.
Camouflage turns the user into a Steel-type.
Secret Power may cause confusion.
Nature Power becomes Flash Cannon
Nascour's Metagross and Evice's Tyranitar have been remade as Shadow Pokemon, and enjoy many benefits from this procedure in battle. However, their presence is harmful to non-Shadow Pokemon, including their own teammates.
Shadow Pokemon are assumed to Mega Evolve at the first opportunity, unless specified otherwise.
Shadow Metagross induces Shadow Terrain for four (4) rounds when entering battle or when Mega Evolving. Shadow Moves used by grounded Shadow Pokemon are super-effective on non-Shadow Pokemon when used on this Terrain. Grounded Shadow Pokemon gain three (3) HP per action. Shadow Metagross doesn't expend energy to induce effect.
Shadow Tyranitar's Sand Stream induces Shadow Sky instead of Sandstorm. This weather deals 2 damage to all non-Shadow battlers at the end of every action. Special attacks targeting Shadow Pokemon lose three (3) BAP during this weather. Shadow Tyranitar doesn't expend energy to induce this effect.
Shadow Metagross and Shadow Tyranitar both enjoy access to the following Shadow moves. No other Pokemon can use Shadow moves, and no Pokemon can gain STAB on them.
Shadow Blast
Shadow | Physical | All Targets | 7 BAP | 100% Acc | 7 EN | --- Chance | No Contact | Priority 0 | CT: None
A wicked blade of air is formed using a shadowy aura. This move hits the target's Special Defense stat. It has no effect on Shadow Pokemon. Shadow Hold
Shadow | Physical | Any Single Target | 7 BAP | 100% Acc | 7 EN | --- Chance | No Contact | Priority 0 | CT: None
The Pokemon grabs hold of its target's shadow, inflicting the target with the Trapped status for six (6) actions. Shadow Turn
Shadow | Physical | Any Single Target | 5 BAP | 100% Acc | 5 EN | --- Chance | No Contact | Priority 0 | CT: None
The user strikes the opponent before vanishing into the shadows, outpacing even trapping abilities. Applies Pivoting to the user. Shadow Half
Shadow | Other | Entire Battle | --- BAP | --- Acc | 15 EN | --- Chance | No Contact | Priority 0 | CT: None
A shadowy aura looms over the entire battlefield. The current HP of all Pokemon is reduced by 50%, capped at 25 HP. The user becomes Sluggish for 1 action. Shadow Shed
Shadow | Other | Entire Battle | --- BAP | --- Acc | 8 EN | --- Chance | No Contact | Priority 0 | CT: None
Shadows wash over the battlefield, resetting many effects. Shadow Shed removes the effects of Mist, Safeguard, Aurora Veil, Reflect, and Light Screen from both sides, as well as removing any weather and any terrain other than Shadow Terrain and Shadow Sky.
"You might have twice the attacking power, but we have copious amounts of drugs!"
"You might look at us and think "didn't copious drug use get us here", but we don't really want to focus on that right now."
Ice Punch (Garchomp) > Zen Headbutt (Garchomp)
(Check at Start of Step) IF Metagross has strictly less than 43 HP at the start of this step THEN Shadow Potion (Metagross)
(Check at Start of Turn) IF Garchomp has used a Protective/Evasive move this Step, THEN Ice Punch (Donphan) and push
(Check at Start of Turn) IF there are strictly more than three targets on epicdrill's side of the field THEN Shadow Blast and push
Congrats to Epic for earning the Realgam Tower's first and only 5* reward! She can claim a 5* Pokemon and the rest of her team to 4*.
I get 4 TC and 6 JC.

Rival Tierno's team consists of three Pokemon, one chosen randomly from each slot.
Rival Tierno sends out first
Rival Tierno's Item Bag: 1× Super Potion
Arena: Kalos Route 19
Kalos Route 19, also known as Grande Vallée Way, is home to a valley containing plenty of beautiful marshes. This battle takes place on a wooden bridge across the valley, on which Tierno has spent the past half hour practicing his dancing with his Pokemon! As a result, his dancing skills are stronger than they would otherwise be.
All of Tierno's Pokemon have access to all moves tagged #Dance
Petal Dance does not cause the user to go on a rampage
Tierno's Oricorio does not lose speed from holding a Power Lens
Tierno's Talonflame also has the ability Tangled Feet
Tierno's Meloetta defaults to Pirouette Forme
When one of Tierno's Pokemon with higher Attack than Special Attack uses a special #Dance move, it is treated as a physical move
When Tierno sends out a Pokemon that holds a Berserk Gene, the Berserk Gene is automatically activated unless otherwise specified
Camouflage turns the user into a Flying type
Secret Power may cause sleep
Nature Power becomes Wood Hammer
