My default course of action is to try and inflict a status on the 'mon in play, heal off any damage they inflict, and then smash 'em to kingdom come. Unfortunately, that kinda makes me a one-trick Ponyta in terms of strategy, and the muscle memory thing doesn't help at all. This isn't the first time Magic Bounce turned this strategy against me, you know. XD

I'll keep your advice in mind should I use Hawlucha in next year's tourney ;) In retrospect, I should've taken a cue from you and put Drain Punch on Moctezuma for both damage and healing, but that probably wouldn't have mattered in this case because Ghost is immune to Fighting anyway.

I am going to be leaving home in the morning and have no idea when I will be getting back. Once again, I'll let you know on the Board if I'm here in time.

At this point though, it seems the progression of the rest of the tournament is hinging on us getting on with our match, so I may just copy my team to my mobile so we can battle on the go. I'd hate this tournament's thrilling conclusion to be delayed much longer because of my inconvenient schedule.

I've got work in the morning and it's 2 am here so I need to go to bed.
