Facility The Safari Zone: cityscapes

[epicdrill]

Only users: epicdrill and cityscapes should be posting in this thread.

cityscapes is going to The Weather Institute! cityscapes will be using Jellicent and Goodra:

Arena: The Weather Institute

The field behind the Weather Institute is worn down by hail and sand. The Pokemon are territorial and often fight to have their weather rule the field.

If a weather-inducing move is used to change the weather, the change will only last for that round if the current Wild Pokemon being encountered has Drought, Drizzle, Snow Warning, or Sand Stream, at the end of which round those abilities will activate for their normal EN cost.

Castform is under the effect of all of the weather rocks. At once. Because Castform really needs the help.

cityscapes to choose two Pokemon from these four!

 

[cityscapes]

stay alert! the pokemon could approach at any time!

you know that these ones summon weather, right? it isn't very hard to tell where they are. like there! heavy footprints, sandstorm. i'm gonna go for this one.

that sounds like a really bad idea.

oh, i love the rain! does that bird summon rain wherever it goes? so cool!

Challenging Tyranitar and Pelipper.

 

[epicdrill]

GRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH

With a roar, Tyranitar steps forward to fight you.

 

[cityscapes]

objectively speaking, this is a pretty dangerous matchup. not only is tyranitar itself scary, but the sand will really hurt us here...

i know what i'm doing! no opponent is too big for me to restrain! none!

Will-O-Wisp ~ Water Spout ~ Hydro Pump
If Tyranitar is under the effect of a protective move, then Rain Dance the first instance, Chill the second, pushing back each time.
If Tyranitar is to use Rest on any action, then Water Spout S1.
If you are slower than Tyranitar, Trick Room is not up, and you are not Taunted, then Trick Room.

 

[epicdrill]

ROOOAAAARRRR

Iron Defense, Payback, Crunch
IF Will-O-Wisp misses S1, THEN Payback S1, Crunch S2, and Payback S3.

Lash Out, Crunch, Iron Defense
IF you are to use Iron Defense AND you are not Burned AND you are not Poisoned AND Jellicent did not successfully use a Protective move, THEN Lash Out.
IF Jellicent successfully uses a Protective move, THEN Chill.
IF Jellicent is in the evasive stage of a D/E move when you are to act AND you are to use a damaging Dark-type move, THEN Chill on odd instances, Dig (Default) on even instances.

 

[cityscapes]

ah, iron defense cure mechanics. see, we had a plan, but it couldn't afford to have anything go wrong. just stay cautious.

come on... you can't stay in your stupid sandstorm forever...

i can't believe giga drain + hyper beam into will-o-wisp barely doesn't work. not that it was the best plan anyway.

Will-O-Wisp ~ Strength Sap ~ Taunt
If you miss S1, then use Will-O-Wisp S3. (If you then miss S3, then it's kinda over, pal. Can't really help you there.)

(Orderset applies only if Tyranitar is taunted for the next 2 steps, which is not stated in the post round. If this assumption is incorrect, let me know and I'll change my orders.)

Switching to Pelipper, counterswitch?

 

[cityscapes]

it got away! i hope it isn't gone for good... anyway, this one should be pretty straightforward.

Counterswitching to Goodra.

rain is great! we love rain!

Thunder ~ Thunder ~ Ice Beam
If Pelipper has less than 10 HP, then use Toxic.
If Pelipper is under the effects of Double Team, then use Muddy Water.
If Pelipper has more than 20 HP S3, then use Thunderbolt.

Throwing 5 Great Balls.

 

[epicdrill]

I think these are the right capture rules for this run, if not then ping me on Discord.

Each Great Ball does (32-8/5)*1.25=38 cHP damage, for a total of 190 cHP damage
Pelipper regains 20 EN over the first 4 Great Balls, which doesn't bring it to 100 EN
Pelipper is caught!

Only cityscapes and their current ref should post in this thread.

cityscapes is exploring the Ultra Wormhole Research Facility with the aid of Centiskorch and [Jellicent[/b] and hunting Mimikyu.

Arena: Ultra Wormhole Research Facility

As you walk into the steel dome covering the habitat, you feel your hairs rise, as of there's energy in the air itself. In the center of the room is a large machine encased by a cage, a metal circle with countless wires, and filling the circle is a glimpse into another world- one where the dome is full of holes, and the sky seems to be dark.

Wild Pokemon, while in the Habitat, are treated as if they were holding their signature Z-Crystal. If the species does not have a signature Z-Crystal, it is treated as if it were holding a Z-Crystal of its primary type. Wild Pokemon are also capable of using their Z-Moves as if they were Stage 5 while within the Habitat.

[cityscapes]

we have a type advantage, so this shouldn't be too bad...

oh wait, i can beat d/e moves with solar beam. huh.

Leech Life ~ X-Scissor ~ Protect
If Raichu is to use Volt Switch this step, and not Volt Switch any other step, then Protect and restart queue.
If Raichu is to use a D/E move this step, and Raichu has more than 13 HP, then Solar Beam and restart queue.
If Raichu is to use Counter this step, and Raichu has more than 14 HP, then Struggle Bug and restart queue.

 

[P2X7]

Let's just pretend that I remembered to make both Wild Pokemon Male, okay?


You notice a small, yellow gem clutched in the wild Alolan Raichu's paws. The Pokemon's cheek sacs flicker four times as it is engulfed in Z-Power.

A wild Lycanroc-Dusk appeared!

The wild Lycanroc-Dusk snarls viciously!

Stone Edge - Rock Slide - Stone Edge
[Check at the start of the step] IF Centiskorch is set to use Solar Beam, use Rock Blast that action instead and push back.
IF Centiskorch is under the effects of a successful P/E move when you would act, use Stealth Rock the first instance and Bulk Up the second, pushing back each instance. Do not play this substitution consecutively.
[Check at the start of the action] IF Centiskorch is set to use Power Whip, AND it has >21 HP remaining, use Counter that action instead.

cityscapes orders.

 

[cityscapes]

we have the opposite of a type advantage, so this will be really really bad. this was just a really unfortunate 2 mons to roll--leading with jellicent wouldn't work because of sparksurfer hurting so much.

go! my uhh, my strategy! go!

Substitute (15) ~ Giga Impact + Power Whip ~ Chill
If Lycanroc lands a critical hit S1, then use X-Scissor + Giga Impact S1 and Power Whip S3.
If Lycanroc misses Stone Edge S1 and you are not fully paralyzed S1, then use Double Team (2) S2 and Power Whip S3.
If you are fully paralyzed S1, then Endure S2 and Bug Bite S3.
