Battling Guide

[Matrix934]

-Battling Rules
--You don't win a battle just because your stats are higher than your opponents. Battles are a mixture of your Pokémon stats, your Pokémon moves, how your Pokémon uses its moves, how good at an attack your Pokémon is and how effective it is against your opponent, how your Pokémon utilizes its surroundings, how accurate your Pokémon is, and how your opponent reacts to your choices.

--In a battle, one of you will have to eventually decide who will win and who will lose. You won't have a ref every time. You may ask me or a mod to ref for you if you just can't decide, but you should be able to decide wins and losses on your own most of the time. Be honest and fair!

- Healing items
-- You may only use three HP healers in each battle. They can be bought from the store. There is no PP to worry about, your HP counts as both. When you get tired and run down, you can't perform as powerful moves like you could at the beginning of the battle.



- The battle is like a story made by both you and your oppenent. Be as descriptive as possible when telling what is happening. Please remember to describe setting of the battle. An example battle is below.

[Matrix934]

Charizard vs. Blaziken

vs.

Setting: PokéColiseum - A red and blue hi-tech arena surrounded by neon lights, massive TV screens, and thousands of cheering fans.


Me: Charizard is sent out of its PokéBall. The fiery titan spreads his wings apart and roars as if the battle is already over and the victory was declared.

Opponent: Blaziken ignites his clenched hands into fists of fire. His flaming eyes stare directly at Charizard and thus the battle begins.

Me: Charizard springs up into the air with his indigo wings spread wide. A lustrous blast of fire spurts from his mouth.

Opponent: Blaziken, accompanied by his amazing reflexes, dodges the attack and bursts into the sky directly towards Charizard with a burning fist and a fierce eye.

Me: Charizard waits for Blaziken to come close and spins around in a fiery twister. As Blaziken approaches, Charizard immediately slaps Blaziken with one of its scorching wings. Blaziken is sent flying towards the ground.

Opponent: With aching muscles and wincing with pain, Blaziken struggles back up to his feet, leaving a crater in the arena. In frustration, Blaziken's fists combusts into detrimental weapons of fire as Blaziken unleashes all of his power in a sudden burst of raging flames heading towards Charizard

Me: Charizard tried Arial Ace downward to evade Blaziken's Overheat, but it was too late. Charizard was lashed with malignat flames. Charizard fell out of the sky back to cold, hard floor.

Opponent: Blaziken leaped across the arena to the landing site of Charizard. There was nothing but smoke there, and Blaziken was ready to declare victory, until a dreadful roar was heard.

Me: Charizard blasted another beam of fire while hidden in the smoke, knocking down the unsupecting Blaziken. Charizard was covered with soot and pain. Charizard stared at Blaziken with an unforgiving eye as Blaziken struggled once again to get up.

Opponent: Blaziken immediately sets his fists on fire and attempts to uppercut the angry dragon. Charizard was struck with a bolt of fire.

Me: Charizard eyes turned scorching red the whole coliseum was filled with heat. The heat persisted and became hotter and hotter, until it became scorching.

Opponent: Blaziken retreated a few steps and Charizard advanced the same amount of steps. He blasted a flamethrower from his mouth at Charizard, which retarded him for a moment, but he kept advancing.

Me: Charizard unleashed all of its power in its special move - Blast Burn. The arena burst into flames with Blaziken struggling to withstand the scorching heat until Charizard burst more flames in all directions. Nothing but fire and heat. The arena finally cleared up and Blaziken was lying unconscious on the floor. Charizard gently kicks Blaziken's arm and declares his victory.

- As a result, I won and my opponent lost but remember that battles are not always going to end your way. Be more descriptive than I was if you can and be fair!
