One: Excadrill still has to roll 1 D6 for the burn check since I don't see anything saying Dagny extinguisehed it. If it fails, it takes 2 lethal damage (total of 4) and faints. If it succeeds, it has 1 HP left and 3 lethal damage.
Two: Drill Run is a high crit move, which might matter if Excadrill doesn't faint from the Burn 2. Did Calam crit it thanks to Super Luck brining it to another 3 success crit in the accuracy? If so, 2 more damage dice please! 2 successes on the crit, and Calam wins! 1 success, and Calam faints, but the burn takes Excadrill down guaranteed! Or are we ruling that you have to crit Me First independently of the copied move? (Unfortunately, Me First has some ambiguity as far as how the damage pool it copies is calculated since you're copying a move that hasn't been used yet)
Three: there's also the matter of whose defense Me First uses to calculate damage. From what Excadrill has, its damage pool for Drill Run is 3 + 3 + 1 - 3 = 4 D6. All other moves that copy damage pools copy the final result, not the pre-defense. If Me First works the same way, that's yet another 2 dice that could be added to Calam's damage pool for Me First, giving him 5 D6 damage before a crit.
(Also, yeah, Me First is an awesome move. Happy I have a pokemon with it in both campaigns! Quite handy when it comes in clutch like this!)
In this campaign it only copies the damage pool, not the resulting number of damage dice. It's worded slightly differently than something like Counter, since you actually use the move instead of responding to damage. I believe this is intentional, since otherwise it is far more potent than Counter. So I used Dagny's vitality against it.
That being said, it could indeed crit, since you're using the same move, so that's added in now.
Just gotta deal 1 more damage to Excadrill, meaning a water type move only has to hit, doesn't even have to succeed on damage! Alternatively, just survive the round and let Burn handle it!
