"Give 'em heck, Spitfire the Charmander!"

(Holding nothing)​

 

[TMan87]

"Alright! Let's start with the basics! You already seem to have understood posting conventions relative to sendout. Pokémon, and item, with name and sprite (if possible)."

Sending out Toko Fukawa the Shellder w/ Oran Berry!

Waterfall | Waterfall | Waterfall

"Three steps per round, so three orders, distinctly separated. Easy enough. Now for the spiny part..."

At start of step, IF Charmander is to use Counter THEN Surf
At start of step, IF Toxic AND only once THEN Protect

"Those are substitutions. They are use to anticipate what could happen in a round. As first order, you'll want to use them to prevent the opponent from using their most devastating options. Here, I am very afraid of you using Counter, because you could return a lot of damage, so due to the first substitution, if you try that, Shellder will use Surf and your Counter will then be ineffective."

"Substitutions are comprised of a Timing (when does the sub check?), a Trigger (what does it check for?) and a Result (what does the sub result in?). The whole part about them is here. Be careful: they're hard to master! Now let's see you order..."

Dart! Give 'em hell, this time for real!



Dart the Froakie is sent out holding an Oran Berry!


(side note: i'm working on trainer sprites)​

 

[TMan87]

"Well... TIme to spice it up with a cool little mechanic: switching! If you order first, like I am right now, and nothing prevents it, you can declare a Switching Phase. It's pretty similar to a sendout declaration."

Switching to Siemon the Croagunk w/ Berserk Gene!

"However, if nothing prevents it, your opponent (you in this case) can (though they aren't forced to) counterswitch in response. Essentially, they declare a Switching Phase of their own. Careful, though, if they do, they have to order first!"

"So switching can force an opponent to choose between preserving a favorable matchup, or preserving second order. It's a powerful tool, and you'll see many players try to make the most out of it, or trap their opponent to prevent them from swtching at all..."

Lunaflare to counterswitch or decline

 

[Lunaflare]

I'll decline.

I know I'm gonna lose anyways but I want to keep going so I can get used to the mechanics.

 

[TMan87]

"Then let's duke it out! It's a frog-eat-frog world out there!"
"After a short commercial break. I do like to keep my guests enetertained."

Meditate | Thunder Punch | Thunder Punch

At start of step, IF Froakie is to use Counter S2 or S3 THEN Focus Blast
At start of step, IF Froakie is to use Confide THEN Toxic

"Confusion works a little differently here. I advise you read the Conditions tab of the DAT to find out more. Also, I voluntarily wrote my substitutions with a clear hole in them. Will you be able to find it? Will you decide to exploit it?"
