Fair that makes sense I just figured you were unlikely to protect on the full health mon
In hindsight, I may have attempted to -as you said- gamble for tutuu to go first.
maybe when ash finishes his, and we can post them together in one post

Ah… yep. I was afraid this might happen.
It’s just that… I thought the alternatives seemed more likely to happen.
Fair I was prepping the unknown swap in why I tried to keep the last member unknown as long as possible.
I will most likely lose, but I won’t go down without a fight.
Love to hear it! Fight till the end never give up!

I sure wonder who will win thisl
Ah… So it was Route 2. Yeah, there is no way for me to win anymore. I forfeit.
There were three possible routes for Ruby after Move 5:
- KO Nbowie with Chloe, and attack Youbie with Garfooled. (Counterplay: Protect Nbowie, KO Chloe with Youbie.)
- KO Youbie with Chloe, and even if Nbowie KOs Garfooled, it’d still become 2v1. (Counterplay: Protect Youbie, KO Garfooled with Nbowie.)
- Switch out Chloe back to Atlas and KO any of my mons with Garfooled. (Counterplay: Youbie doesn’t attack, KO Garfooled with Nbowie.)
If Route 3 happened and Youbie attacked Chloe when Ruby switched that slot to Atlas, then I lose because Atlas would have speed advantage.
I could’ve Protected Youbie in Route 3 as well, but I wanted to complicate Ruby’s play if she were to pick that Route. Because had I succeeded (and used Protect), then it’d still be a 2v2 with one of my mons unable to use Protect.
Heck, even if I had gone with Route 2 and Protected Youbie, then I’d still lose because I had given Chloe the speed advantage.
I thought one of the mons in the back would’ve been MapleMay, so I intended to one-shot it. My misplay was switching sulit’s move last minute from Homoph 30 to Furry 30. Because had I stayed with my decision then Chloe would’ve had less speed than Nbowie. It was an oversight.
