Yeah...having a scarfed CC and a banded Earthquake made me want to get rid of those two fliers as soon as I could, which led to both good and bad decisions at times.
But those were fun and tense matches, despite how RNG messed around with us.

Also, for any of you scientists out there, can someone please explain this?
Critical wood hammer did 99% (Drifblim was neither focus sash nor sturdy)
Non-critical wood hammer did 95%
A critical hit multiplies the non-critical damage by 1.5.

So here we are. Plays have been enacted. Empires have come and gone. The mightiest have passed away and withered, alike the least. Fires have burned, thousandfold. Yet, did not the great wind serenely continue its course? Does not the blackbird still sing its song? Does not the mistletoe still dwell in the oak's crown? Forgotten, what once has been told. Veiled, the words that once so rang out. Shrouded, like the larva in its cocoon. Let him hear it, who will.

Re: pholtos' Rando Pokemon Tourney IV - Round 6
So, check this out. Torterra was at 18%, low enough for overgrow to kick in, which just so happens to also boost the power of Wood Hammer(and grass moves in general) by 1.5x, enough to match the damage from a crit.
Yeah, the starter abilities basically never matter except in really rare cases.

Re: pholtos' Rando Pokemon Tourney IV - Round 6
I was going to mention this, but I forgot. The starter abilities do make a difference, especially with one of the berries that boost your stats at low health. Overgrow, Blaze, and Torrent come into play more often than one would think.... 1.5x power is quite a lot, and surviving with 33% health isn't too difficult for a large swath of Pokémon.spittySynthyHands wrote:So, check this out.

...Oh, and this also shows why Drifblim should have defensive investment. It helps significantly with its survivability....

Aye, starter abilities being activated is the equivalent of one Swords Dance or Calm Mind use, nothing to overlook.

Re: pholtos' Rando Pokemon Tourney IV - Round 6
I mean, it's not something that comes up often as a deliberate strategy that you would want to employ, or build a set around. A lot of the starters that could abuse torrent/overgrow/blaze ended up getting better abilities from hidden world. And at 33% health, it's easy to get killed by priority, or get chip damaged to death.
It's not a boost to ignore, but I've just never really seen it make much of a difference except just now. Most cases, you get exactly one shot with your boost and die.
Of course, I say all this, but Bellyzard is still somewhat viable, if you're into absolute insanity and all-or-nothing sweeps.

Re: pholtos' Rando Pokemon Tourney IV - Round 6
I'm thinking besides a few more battles I might just end the tourney at this point, as no battles happened even with a weeks extensions sans the one that happened last wednesday.
At this point I may just ask the people who have tied scores to face off and we'll have our overall leaderboard for this tourney.

DISREGARD ROUND 7.
Do you have a win loss tie equal to one or more people? Yes? Then you will be facing off in the final round(s). Decide amongst yourselves the order in which you guys will be facing off, then pm me.

Group pings for those who've remained silent so far:
You guys need to figure out who is fighting who and let me know. :3c
You two can face off if you'd like, you guys are close enough in score that I figure you guys could duke it out if you wanted.
If you guys can't get in touch with someone in a timely manner let me know.

Seriously, though, those were good games. That Golurk was giving me fits. And there was just a weird matching up of types that kept confusing me. Ultimately, I think Magic Bounce has to get MVP.
