Now we're in Round 3, two weeks away from the finals! Replays will be up soon. Otherwise, patch notes!
Mortemoth changes were not reverted. I kinda like them and they fit the spirit of the mon. Also, I meant to nerf both Spirox and Modolith but forgot, Power of Two now only boosts Sp. Atk by 1.3x and Raging Beast only boosts your highest stat with a 20% chance after each turn. I think both Pokemon have the potential to become insanely scary otherwise and just want to be safe. I also mistakenly left Hyperoach's ability like how it was for Round 1, but that's been fixed now. We don't want Hype Overload to do too much stuff, now do we?

Fleetle (currently named Helivery on DH) | Steel/Flying | 85/85/85/85/85/85 | Queen of Roulette
Learns Brave Bird, Iron Head, Drill Peck, Hurricane, Flash Cannon, Doom Desire, Air Slash, Defog, Roost, Will-o-Wisp, Thunder Wave, Taunt, U-Turn, Knock Off, Whirlwind, Stealth Electric, Spikes
I was told to make a Pokemon that was Steel/Ghost with Queen of Roulette, low stats, and an extremely good movepool... but Ghost doesn't exist here, so we settled on Steel/Flying. Being a Steel that doesn't care about Ground stuff is REALLY good and will almost certainly give this at least some niche to deal with Crypterid and Lemotic, two Pokemon that I think are very threatening right now. It also has basically every move you could want it to so that's cool.

Shroominesce |
Electric/Grass | 60/60/60/110/110/95 |
Analytic
Learns Thunderbolt, Volt Switch, Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Moonlight, Defog, De-defog, Dewy Flowers, Dirty Scheme, Skitter Out
So since Squawk hasn't been talking I didn't want to rob you guys of a Pokemon, so I instead gave it to a close friend. He suggested the stat spread of 110/110/110/80/110/80, Electric/Grass, Analytic, and a movepool I won't get into. I chose to take the ability and typing while staying true to the concept of his Pokemon. I made it a bit faster to make Analytic more clearly geared towards switching. Should be great with Badgearth and Draxplosion, offensive voltturn isn't something we really got to see before and I'm giving it a boost here.
Tristar0722 vs.
Sceon
Tristar0722 - You get to add one Fakemon of your choice and your changes will apply for the rest of the tournament. [NOTE - Fleetle.]
Sceon - Unless both players agree to play Randbats, one of your opponent's teams must have at least one type shared across three of their Pokemon, like having three Steel-types on a team for example.
Paulluxx vs. Mr.Bossaru
Paulluxx - Your opponent must announce the plays they choose for the first three turns of the first battle. Any attempt to be deceitful will automatically disqualify them.
Mr.Bossaru - For all three battles, your opponent must show their first Pokemon on their team's entire moveset. Lying about this will result in disqualification.
lavarina vs. rkcbb
lavarina - Both you and your opponent automatically move on to the next round regardless of who wins or loses. [NOTE - Congratulations, you got a broken one! I'd like for you both to play regardless. I'll also be rigging bracket from here on out so if at all possible, you two do not fight each other any time soon in any future rounds.]
rkcbb - For your next bo3, unless you both agree to play Randbats, your opponent must use the same team through their first two games.
That's about it! The bugfixes technically aren't live on DH yet, but Fleetle and Shroominesce both are, even if Fleetle's name is still "Helivery." Those two also don't have sprites yet. Ideally you all wait to do your games until the update shows their sprites in the teambuilder, but otherwise, you have until July 31st at 11:59 PM GMT-4 to complete your games. See you then!
