Very tempted to Dynamax here, but I’ll hold off for now.

Dynamax Boss Morgrem
★★★
Health Gauge: 84%
Shields Up: 0
Status: Reflect [Boss] (4 Turns), Sun (4 Turns), Wrapped (4 turns remaining)

Attack 1: Reflect (0 BP)

Morgrem has set up a reflective barrier!

Attack 2: Max Flare (120 BP)

Connor, Skarmory: 120 HP

Raid Challengers:

• Connor, Skarmory: 120 HP
• Dragons, Sizzlipede: 300 HP
• SpinyShell, Kecleon: 300 HP [Protean: Steel]
• Med, Alcremie: 300 HP

Hearing the trainer's orders, Morgrem decides to be a Prankster and sets up a Reflect before the group can even react, trying to block people out from his heart. The raider's attacks then go through, but all of them weakened by the reflective barrier. Once it was all said and done, Morgrem uses a Max Flare to roast the Skarmory for some nice damage while setting up the sun.

With the reflect and sun up, the trainers decide to switch up their orders and try to go from the special angle, well, mostly. Morgrem doesn't seem bothered by this, happily letting shields up s well as eating the small chocolate piece the Alcremie gave him. He gives her a small wink while letting out a Max Darkness, trying to impress her the only way he knows how: hurting people. When he sees that's not exactly working, he lets out a Snarl at everyone to try and show her how tuff he is. Yes, tuff. T U F F. SOmeone get this poor boy some help.

...Uh, I think we may have accidentally set him off in an unhealthy fashion. In any case, those Shields aren't so T U F F that they can't be taken out with a mere Tackle (40 BP), so we'll give 'em one of those!

[sixdragons_in_atrenchcoat]

We'll get you back for that, you fiend! Sizzlipede, Ember(40BP, Sun Boosted)!

Dynamax Boss Morgrem
★★★
Health Gauge: 63%
Shields Up: 0
Status: Reflect [Boss] (3 Turns), Sun (3 Turns), Wrapped (3 turns remaining), Misty Terrain (4 Turns remaining), -1 Def, -1 Sp. Def
KOs: 2

Attack 1: Max Starfall (130 BP)

Connor, Skarmory: 43 HP

Attack 2: Snarl (55 BP)

Connor, SKarmory: 0 HP [KO'd]
Dragons, Sizzlipede: 0 HP [KO'd]
Spiny, Kecleon: 118 HP
Med, Alcremie: 164 HP

Raid Challengers:

• Connor, Skarmory: 0 HP [KO'd]
• Dragons, Sizzlipede: 0 HP [KO'd]
• SpinyShell, Kecleon: 118 HP (-2 Sp. Atk, -1 Sp. Def)[Protean: Fire]
• Med, Alcremie: 164 HP (-2 Sp. Atk, -1 Sp. Def)

The trainers blast through shields which leaves the very weakened Sizzlipede to use ember on the Morgrem. Of course, the Morgrem doesn't really care all too much about this and lets out a Max Starfall. The shining lights captivate the group as it hits the Skarmory for a pretty hefty amount of damage. The Morgrem then decides to Snarl one last time, wanting to keep up his edgy demeanor. This does, however, end up making it so two of the raiders are KO'd. Oh well.

Cheering to heal Spiny's Kecleon.

Cheering to heal Med's Alcremie.

[Median Dia]

If he's gonna keep putting on a show for his facade, then how about we make just as big a scene? Let's Dynamax, and hit 'em with a fearsome Max Starsfall (based off of Chocolate Bomb; 130 BP)!

[SpinyShell]

I know I'm at -2 Sp. At, but staying as a Fire type seems to be the safest bet here, especially with the possibility of running into shields.

Attack 1: False Surrender (80 BP)

SpinyShell, Kecleon: 148 HP

Attack 2: Max Flare (120 BP)

Med, Alcremie: 328 HP

• Med, Alcremie: 328 HP (-2 Sp. Atk, -1 Sp. Def)

With the two downed allies cheering the other two, the Morgrem watches as the Kecleon and Alcremie start hitting him hard. He does nothing besides lilling them into a false sense of security with his False Surrender. This lures in the Kecleon, who immediately gets speared by the edgelord's hair. He then decideds to play with fire, and sends a Max Flare over to the Alcremie's way. Mmm, the smell of burnt meringue.

Sizzlipede, break a shield with Ember(40BP)!

[Median Dia]

..Well, that's certainly an aromatic smell of some sort. Not the sort of thing we'd like right now, though. For that, we'll Max Strike (based off of Tackle; 90 BP) you down!
