The heck? That Spinda is more quick than I have imagined!

All of Tanuki's pokemon are that fast, Tangled Feet just makes Spinda seem even faster.

Side note, though, @Iron: shouldn't the Confusion have worn off after Round 1 because Spinda took 5 actions? That could change how Round 2 went down a lot since it'd be possible for Rose to hit the second Mach Punch.

Oh yeah, forgot I changed the rules. I'm just going to leave it for now though, because Tanuki would have done something different in Round 1 if I'd remembered the rule change.

Whoahw, that Furret displayed quite some potential with her Fury Swipes! I guess the battle's becoming serious now from the way Tanuki acts.

Indeed. But now we have some difficult battle ahead. 2 of her pokemons is down. And I still have 4 pokemon with me. But 3 of them is a little hurt and another one I still not use yet. What should I do now? Lairon, Ambipom or Trevenant as my fourth pokemon....

I would say keep using the three Pokémon you have until you force her to use up all her Pokémon, then choice your forth one based on what her last/overall line up of Pokémon is. I'd also say that you should keep Gustav out, as he's pretty much going to be dead in the water soon, and so the best he can do is force Tanuki to reveal on of her Pokémon before you switch in to an appropriate check/counter after he Faints. If he can manage to deal damage, however, even better!

At least Spinda as a big troublemaker due to her Tangled Feet Ability, Psybeam and Sucker Punch/Feint Attack to counter her weaknesses is out, so that's quite something.

A slight issue to me feels indeed that you've shown which Pokemon you're using rather early due to switching, which gives Tanuki a chance to try countering especially them well. Don't reveal your 4th Pokemon anywherelse but in the Round to keep a suprise effect, but keep in mind that Tanuki also has Bird Pokemon that can hurt both Rose and Victor badly. That'd at least be what I'd do - not allowing anyone to take a look into my cards on hand, figuratively speaking!

Understood. Keep my trump card for end against Tanuki. My fourth pokemon gonna be reveal only in the end.
