4 and 5 Str characters are the norm in the Safari Cup! It tends to attract athletes.



Safari Cup - Nathan 2 - Round 2

Doduo: (5) going first.

Rage 1
(6)(5)(6)(3)(6)(6) (1)(1)(4) Critical hit
(4)(4)(1)(5)(2) Exeggutor takes 3 dmg 6/9hp -1 pain
CD: (2)

Hypnosis 1
(5)(3)(4)(1) - 2 successes
Evasion 2 (5)(1)(2)(5)(2)(4) (2)(2) Dodged!
Beatrice is also locked in to those four moves.

Confusion 2
(5)(2)(2)(1)(1)(1)(1) Oof, that's a big miss. The downside for Doduo is that her Rage is not proc'd.

(5)(6)(5)(3)(5) Exeggutor faints!

Awesome!  Doduo C is pulling his weight!  And yes, he is a dark necked male since Juliet used Attract on him.  Doduo B is a lighter necked female for the opposite reason.  If the crowd and competitors are paying attention, they would notice they're two different Doduo, and thus might have different movesets!  Doduo A's gender has yet to be finalized, so it could possibly be mistaken for either of the other two. Or if someone wasn't paying attention, they might not have noticed the gender difference and not be sure what to expect from the mostly flightless bird in question if they know some of the moves that Nathan's Doduo have been using.

Doduo C is staying out to take advantage of that +1 Strength and super high Initiative roll!

-----------------------

Gallade chuckles when Nathan's second Doduo makes the battle a little more even again.  He knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it any less funny to watch.  He was kinda wondering why Nathan chose to start with the disobedient Delta Parasect, but it's nice to see that his best friend is making up for it just fine.  He doesn't really mind the crowd that's gathering to watch, either.  He's proud to be Nathan's pokemon, and he's glad to see the young man get some more time to shine.  Whether anyone can figure that out about the Gallade intently watching Nathan's battles is another matter entirely though, obviously.


Also, on the note of Delta Parasect and Pikachu...I'm surprised Shiva hasn't reacted to those making an appearance yet...particularly since the crowds are reacting noticeably.  Is a reaction coming soon, @PhantomUnderYourDesk?
