Gym Leader Chuckles vs Shiva Round 1

It's hard to keep track of Chuckles' Pokemon, in this room that is perfectly suited to them.

Shiva sees Mismagius lift a wand that almost looks like it's made out of a piece of the house itself.

"Mismagius and I have been practicing his elemental spells..."

Power Gem 1 on Yena
12* Canalize dice -5 actions = 7d6
(6)(3)(6)(4)(3)(3)(1)
(4)(3) Yena takes 1 dmg 7/8hp

Copycat 1 - I couldn't find any versions of Copycat in the game history where I used the opponent's dice pool. I think the intent is to use like Canalize/Brawl of whatever the copied move is. Maybe I ruled otherwise later but I couldn't find it.
9 Canalize dice -3 actions = 6d6
(4)(2)(3)(1)(4)(6)
(5)(3) Mismagius takes 1 dmg 7/8hp

Ice Punch 1 on Mightyena
10 Brawl -1 acc -4 actions = 5d6
(5)(3)(1)(3)(5)
(4) Yena takes 1 dmg 6/8hp -1 pain
Flinch: (4)(4)
Freeze: (6)(2)
Yena ignores the Ice Punch with Shield Dust!

"Oh?"

Swagger 1
(1)(3)(6) + (6*)
+2 Str, -3 accuracy debuff, Confused for Spinda

"How clever..."

Power Gem 2
(2)(3)(1)(5)(5)(3)
(5)(4) Yena takes 2 dmg as another gleaming brown light comes from Mismagius' wand. 4/8hp -2 pain.

Feint Attack 2
(1)(3)(1)
Insight: (5)(3)(5)
Shiva's leadership is enough to get Spinda back on track and ensure the move never misses.
(4)(4)(1)(3) Mismagius takes 3 dmg 4/8hp -2 pain

"Dusknoir, you're not being targeted. It's safe to sacrifice your life force."

Curse 2
(4)(3)(4)(3)(2)(4)
(5)(6)(5)(3)(3) Dusknoir takes 3 dmg 8/11hp -1 pain
Mightyena was cursed! He seems much less sure of himself, looking to Shiva way more often than is necessary.

Crunch 2
(1)(3) + (1*)(1*) Miss.

Power Gem 3
(5)(6)(3)
(3)(3) No damage for Yena.

Feint Attack 3
(1)(6)
(4)(4)(3)(1) Mismagius takes 3 dmg 1/8hp -3 pain

"The rat will require special attention. Finalize the ruination of the hound."

Ice Punch 3
(4)(1)
(5) Mightyena takes 1 dmg 3/8hp -2 pain

Crunch 3
Not enough dice with Curse and Pain.

Power Gem 4 - Mismagius overcomes the pain. You can see Chuckles grimace as he takes the pain onto himself!
(4)(4)(3)(2)
(1)(1) No damage for Yena.

Power Gem 5
(1)(5)(2)
(6)(3) Yena takes 1 dmg 2/8hp -2 pain

"You're doing well. The psychology of placing certain restorative items that discourage me from my infamous strategies...using Swagger on your own Pokemon...choosing your targets carefully... I'm enjoying this fight. Please continue."
