Open with Attract if your opponent is of the opposite gender, and Thunder Wave if they're not. Then use Secret Power.

Pink, Toxic, Sing

For our quick 1v1 we have from Lanturn, Pink the Jigglypuff, and from SoS, Cuteness the Skitty. A normal type face off, no one has the type advantage here so we'll see how this plays out.

Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff can inflate themselves larger as a move to intimidate opponents, making them more hesitant to attack. While inflated, Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff have a harder time moving, but a moderately higher defense.
Skitty (Normal): Skitty's Attract, Charm and similar attacks are more effective then normal. It prefers to use its tail for slapping and similar attacks.

Both sides seem to have similar beginning strategies, aiming to inflict a status effect on their opponent. Cuteness starts by releasing tendrils of electricity which wrap around Pink and begin paralyzing her. As the tendrils connect, Pink spits a glob of poisonous sludge all over Cuteness. The Skitty is clearly offended that Pink would dare to ruin her fur and starts trying to get the poison off while still looking dignified, unfortunately failing at both. The toxins sink into Cuteness's bloodstream before she can get them off. The poisoning also distracts Cuteness from her attack and the thunder wave dissipates, leaving Pink with only light paralysis. Pink then starts singing a lovely, soothing melody in an attempt to put Cuteness to sleep. Cuteness quickly realizes Pink's plan though, immediately beginning her next move, launching an oft used secret power at Pink. The pink aura hits Pink before she finishes singing, interrupting the attack midway but not leaving any additional status. Even though it was interrupted, the sing has left Cuteness a little drowsy.

Cuteness didn't take any damage, though toxic will start taking effect next round. She is drowsy, not in danger of falling asleep but will be a bit slow to move next round. Electric is at about three quarters.
Pink took some damage, but it wasn't very much. She is lightly paralyzed. Poison energy is mostly gone.

Orders from SoS

[SoS]

Ooh, battle of the cute pink normal types. I like.

Use Uproar to prevent yourself from falling asleep, and smash Jigglypuff with Wake-Up Slap!

[Lanturn]

Give him a nice Secret Power as he comes close. If he's afflicted with status, Work Up. Otherwise, smack him with a Dynamicpunch.

[The Desert Spirit]

Cuteness blinks tiredly, a bit slow to start because of her drowsiness. Luckily, Pink doesn't do any thing about it, instead waiting for Cuteness to come close. She inhales slowly, then lets out a loud scream, blue shockwaves of sound slamming into Pink, helping lessen her paralysis. The attack also helps clear Cuteness's drowsiness, and she moves into her next attack right away. Cuteness charges at Pink, gathering fighting energy into her tail. As she approaches, Pink starts up her own attack, glowing briefly then releasing a pink aura. The attack slams into Cuteness, knocking her back, but not leaving a status. Pink starts to move in for Dynamic punch, but her paralysis takes hold, her muscles locking up and causing the attack to fail. Cuteness cringes as the Toxic starts taking effect.

Cuteness is a little ahead in health, but Toxic has started taking effect. Fighting energy is at about two thirds. Pink ahead on energy and her paralysis will fade by the end of next round. Neither are looking very tired yet.

Orders from Lanturn

[Lanturn]

Shouldn't Uproar at least weaken if not get rid of the paralysis??

[The Desert Spirit]

Sorry about that, I completely forgot to mention it in the reffing. Round edited, uproar does help lessen the paralysis

[Lanturn]

Heal Bell then Dynamicpunch. Sub the latter out with Water Gun if he tries to come in with a fighting move.

[SoS]

Wake-Up Slap, Protect.

[The Desert Spirit]

Pink is started to get really annoyed with her paralysis. The nerve of it, stopping her from punching Cuteness in the face. So she gives the paralysis everything it deserves. Pink rings like a bell chime, the soothing sound erasing the paralysis's existence. Cuteness is not one to stand around and wait for the opponent though. No, she is a Skitty of action, and charges in with another attempt at type spam, tail filled with fighting energy. When Pink finishes heal belling, she sees Cuteness coming in with a fighting move, she starts charging up the energy to blast back Cuteness with a water gun. Pink is a bit too slow though, unable to pull off a water gun before Cuteness reaches her, whirling around to slap Pink with her tail for some nasty damage. That doesn't stop Pink from attacking however as the Jigglypuff shoots a powerful blast of water from her mouth. Cuteness hastily tries to put up a protective barrier, but isn't quite fast enough as a bit of the attack hits before protect takes effect.

Pink took a hard hit, nearing the two third mark. Water is practically gone.
Cuteness is a bit better off than Pink healthwise. Fighting has enough left for one more wake up slap.
Energy is neck in neck, both looking fine.

Orders from SoS

[SoS]

Sing, then take a rest, unless Sing failed, in which case, do it again.

[Lanturn]

He can only use sleep-inducing moves once per match IIRC, so Protect against the first Sing, then Drain Punch

Sorry SoS :P

[SoS]

A totally obvious place to put quite vital information.

[Lanturn]

Actually I don't think it was written down anywhere. I asked it for another match I had and yeah...

I'm not sure if it's allowed but I'll ask an LO if they'll allow you to reorder since I ordered already. Because I'm nice. Yay :3

EDIT: Well I think either way TDS will ask for reorder so no harm done! I think.

[DaveTheFishGuy]

Hi.

You get one successful sleep-inducing move per match. So you can use Sing twice but as long as only one of them inflicts sleep then it's fine.

[Lanturn]

Yeah so SoS reorder pleaaaaase :3

[SoS]

Thanks Dave. Sorry for all this.

Secret Power, Sing.

[DaveTheFishGuy]

Well no, my point was that SoS' orders were completely valid because the first one wouldn't have worked :p

But whatever floats your boat.

[SoS]

I don't mind going with the first set then, whatever.

[Lanturn]

Oh but you said he can reorder if I choose to let him to so yeah... :P
