The Ghost VS The Pokemon

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

Arcker wanted a match for the sorrow, and I think I found one. Hope this is not a stomp as I think both have wincons

Rules:

1. Mega Alakazam is used and Sorrow at his peak
2. Speed is equalized
3. Fight takes place 50 feet away

So sad, so sad:
The Psi Pokémon:
Incon: 2

 

[Arcker123]

Thanks. So the soul stuff still works right?

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

I guess soul hax may work since he doesn't seem to resist it, BFR might work since he doesn't have the range to come back

 

[Arcker123]

Sorrow can rip souls from bodies, what can she do?

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

Sorrow can rip souls from bodies, what can she do?

Mostly a He, Alakazam can simply one-shot by a thought, and has precog which looking at the pokedex seems passive for him. In other words, he can predict what the Sorrow will do before hand

 

[Garchomp777]

Alakazam via passive teleportation precog and mind hax

 

[Armorchompy]

Uh, Mantis also has precog and unresisted hax

 

[Garchomp777]

What is mantis' range on soul manipulation? Alakazam's mindhax is mid range possibly island

 

[Armorchompy]

I dunno why I said Mantis, my apologies, this is the Sorrow. But he can at least summon hundreds of ghosts, likely far more as he just has access to all dead people by virtue of being a psychopomp or whatever. Alakazam doesn't resist soul manip though so its potency is unimportant.

 

[Garchomp777]

I vote for sorrow

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Uh, Mantis also has precog and unresisted hax

As far as i can tell Alakazam's precog is vastly superior givn that just by glancing at his opponent he can see their entire lifespan from birth to death as well as gain knowledge of everything they can do and instantly identify their weakness

Magic Guard would actually null soul manip

 

[Armorchompy]

I mean, better or worse doesn't matter, the Sorrow's ghosts are more than enough for the Sorrow to know what to use.

This is Mega Alakazam, its only ability is Trace.

And Alakazam cant destroy them because...?

This is Mega Alakazam, its only ability is Trace.

Mega Alakazam has Trace, Magic Guard, Synchronize, Inner Focus, Instinct, and Life Force as abilities

 

[Armorchompy]

And Alakazam cant destroy them because...?

He can, but that'll be too late, they're just what his precog comes from.

Mega Alakazam has Trace, Magic Guard, Synchronize, Inner Focus, Instinct, and Life Force as abilities

Alright, then this is a stomp I suppose. Then again carrying a soul to hell or whatever the Sorrow does really shouldn't count as a status effect.

 

[Garchomp777]

Oh yeah magic guard

Alakazam fra

 

[Armorchompy]

Actually wait, the Sorrow can just use his BFR.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

How does it work? Alakazam can just teleport back if need be plus Magic Guard

 

[Armorchompy]

It takes you to the world of the dead, it's a different dimension. Seems thought-based. Also Magic Guard does not defend against stuff like Roar, or Hoopa's rings, so it would not negate BFR.

 

[Armorchompy]

By the way, Magic Guard does not protect from Ghost type attacks either, so I'd need some proof it can block Soul Manip.

 

[Garchomp777]

He will be teleported before sorrow's soul remover touches him

 

[WeeklyBattles]

When has Hoopa ever used its bfr on a pokemon that has Magic Guard? Hyperspace Hole in the game is a damage move not BFR

By the way, Magic Guard does not protect from Ghost type attacks either

Since when? I can find no source that says that Magic Guard doesnt work against ghost-types

 

[Armorchompy]

Is there ANY showing of Magic Guard negating BFR or Soul Hax?

 

[Arcker123]

So this is just magic guard power null vs soul manipualtion?

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

So this is just magic guard power null vs soul manipualtion?

Soul Manip + BFR.

I don't think there are any showings of Magic Guard nulling dimensional BFR, at least to what I remember

 

[Arcker123]

Soul Manip + BFR.

I don't think there are any showings of Magic Guard nulling dimensional BFR, at least to what I remember

That's an issue because sorrow starts with BFR...........

 

[Arcker123]

He will be teleported before sorrow's soul remover touches him

The sorrow doesn't need to touch you to soul hax, it's thought based.

 

[Armorchompy]

Since the Sorrow is Nigh-Omniscient, that means he'll use it. Is Alakazam's precog passive?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Yes

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Alakazam's teleportation is instinctive, it doesnt even need to think to teleport away from danger

 

[Armorchompy]

BFR isn't really inherently dangerous, though. It's not killing you, just bringing you somewhere else.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Alakazam would instinctively teleport just by virtue of Sorrow being there

 

[Armorchompy]

Crazy how this kinda stuff doesn't happen in uh, any piece of Pokèmon media with Alakazam in it outside of what's probably a very niche example. I guess we canìt do much with it if it's on the profile. So, self-BFR?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Seeing as alakazam has tens to hundreds of kilometers range with its attacks that wouldnt really be self bfr

 

[Armorchompy]

... Uh, all I see on its profile is "Instinctive Reaction (Able to use its powers on instinct even while asleep, further enhanced with Foresight)", nothing about automatically avoiding danger.

 

[Garchomp777]

Alakazam can mind hax from 4km away

... Uh, all I see on its profile is "Instinctive Reaction (Able to use its powers on instinct even while asleep, further enhanced with Foresight)", nothing about automatically avoiding danger.

It says in pokedex

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Abra uses its powers on instinct to avoid danger even while its asleep, Alakazam does the same thing
