2 Substitutions per Pokemon
Arena: Earth Mausoleum
Field Type: Ground
Complexity: Intense
Format: All
Restrictions: No Natural Grass, Only Sandstorm & Clear weather permitted, Poorly-lit Indoor arena
Description: The Earth Mausoleum is a dark, desolate place inside a cave situated in a remote desert about 6km from the nearest city. At the entrace, you must proceed down a tunnel that is fairly dark, but is loaded to the gills with harmless Ground Type Pokemon, predominately Hippopotas & Sandshrew, even the occasional Garchomp lurking about the place. After your short walk through a prescribed route, you walk into a large, fairly well lit indoors arena, that looked very dull, but one thing's obvious; This was a Ground Type Paradise...
This arena has virtually the same dimensions as the ASB Tournament arena, but with a few differences. Firstly, the arena has mini-grandstands at the side, & the trainers stand on a Podium elevated up by 3 metres. Lastly, the arena ceiling is rather low at only 20m high.
Now, what does this arena have that gives Ground Types an edge? Firstly, The main arena floor is a hybrid of sand & dirt, mixed together to make a strange material that can easily be dug into. Additionally, the ceiling is low & creates a completely indoor feel, where Moves that require sunlight, like Solarbeam, & all other weathers bar Clear & Sandstorm, fail. Additionally, Pokemon using Sky Drop/Fly/Bounce fail to gain enough altitude to evade, that is, they become a normal attack. Next, there is a fairly large mud patch near the centre of the arena at about 10 metres in diameter, & goes to about 10 metres deep. This mud patch has a little bit of water in it, but enough to be considered an external water source, but in using it, the attack becomes combined with mud & becomes a Ground Type Attack. Additionally, anyone using the patch to dive are still vulnerable to seismic moves & get hit for double power. The arena also has a strange feel to it, as if it was rather hot. As a result, any non-Ground & non-Fire Pokemon using a Water or Ice Type move will have its BAP reduced by 2. Lastly there is a strange, undescribable force in this arena, where if two Pokemon on the same team use a seismic move like Earthquake, they will never hit each other, almost as if to say, they will always synchronise, irrespective of turn order.
Being a Ground Type paradise, how will the average player fare? We shall see soon enough...
Mechanics:
Summary: Ground Type Paradise...
- Mud patches around the arena have enough water to be considered usable as an external Water Source.
- However, all the mud means that such attacks become Ground Type moves.
- These attacks can still be nullified by Storm Drain.
- Any Pokemon hiding in Mud Patches through the use of moves like Dive can also be affected by seismic moves at x2 Power.
- Because of the arena heat, any Water & Ice Type move used by any non-Ground Type Pokemon (And any non-Fire Types by default) have their BAP reduced by 2 (Ground Types & Fire Types are used to the heat).
- If two Pokemon on the same team use a seismic move that has 0 Priority, AND a Pokemon with a speed stat in-between the fastest & the slowest users of the move in question uses a move with 0 priority, then that move in question will be treated as -1 priority attack for the action.
- In other words, synchroquakes are far easier to pull off successfully
- Sky Drop, Fly, & Bounce all do not gain altitutde to successfully evade attacks, that is, they instead become 0 Priority attacks
Who wants a fair fight on a Gym Arena? Also Requesting Switch=OK, thanks.
