Leader Magikchicken vs Challenger The Artist

Magikchicken: Gengar, Drifblim, Rotom-Heat, Decidueye, Spiritomb
The Artist: Malamar, Greninja, Gengar, [Gliscor], [Sableye]

Magik was on the back foot early as a fast Malamar took out Gengar. A clever play with Drifblim saw it gain six stat boosts in a single turn, however the Baton Pass attempt was soon shutdown by a Haze from Greninja.
Protean proved to be too OP (as usual) and Greninja took down most of Magik's team. With only a single Pokemon left and under the effects of Perish Song, Magik conceded.

The Artist: $4,000 + Badge + TM
Magik: $1,500

GrayMagic vs Menegoth

GrayMagic: Gabite, Gengar
Menegoth: Metang, Mimikyu

Gabite danced and EQ'd Metang for the KO, but Mimikyu got revenge.
Then it allowed Gengar to 3HKO with Shadow Ball by deciding to use the not-very-effective Play Rough instead of the super effective Shadow Claw.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Menegoth: Chimchar, Dragonair, Magnemite, Grimer

Cuppie was on the back foot from the start with the Bulbasaur vs Chimchar matchup.
My dice continued their unkindness to Cuppie through this match and Menegoth kept a solid lead the whole way.

Cuppie: Eevee. Sliggoo, Bulbasaur, Togepi
Mikey: Spinarak, Chimchar, Piloswine, Treecko

Eevee started out well with Adaptability and Focus Energy, but Sliggoo missing Muddy Water turned the battle around.
Mikey's Piloswine dealt heavy damage, and Cuppie's remaining Togepi can't really do anything at all.

Ash K: Mienshao, Porygon-Z, Nidoking, Volcarona, Arcanine, Rayquaza (Mega)

Xali started out trying to randomly roll a good Pokemon, but soon got into the flow of things with Galvantula and Manectric.
However Ash held the upper hand with generally better rolls, and Rayquaza as the sixth to shut it all down.

Weirlind: Charizard, Ninetales, Sandslash, Ambipom, Garchomp, Ludicolo

Gray's Garchomp started out with serious force, taking down Chrizard, Ninetales and doing huge damage to Sandslash.
From that point on the battle was fairly even, but never enough for Weirlind to recover the difference.

Seppe: Accelgor, Infernape, Feraligatr, [Togekiss]

Accelgor the suicide bomber did major damage to Gray's Dragonite, which was only able to respond with a single Extreme Speed to Infernape.
Mimikyu and Weavile tried some pretty interesting tactics that looked like they had a lot of promise, but they were shutdown by status effects and a rampaging Feraligatr.

Weirlind: Combee, Growlithe
Morru: Smoochum, Voltorb

Combee retains its reputation for being terrible, getting OHKO'd by Smoochum's Blizzard.
Growlithe evened the score, but got paralyzed and KO'd by Voltorb easily.

Combee slightly redeems itself by finding some Honey.

W32Coravint vs Morru

W32Coravint: Togetic, Monferno
Morru: Voltorb, Kabuto

Despite the evolution advantage, the speed of Voltorb allowed it to take down Togetic with a fast Discharge.
Monferno took out Voltorb and avoided paralysis, but Kabuto ended with Waterfall.

Voltorb immediately paralyzed Togetic and took it down without too much trouble.
Luxio's Crunch was better than anything Voltorb could respond with, but it took too much damage and couldn't outlast Kabuto despite the advantage.

Nitro: Slowbro, Toxapex
GrayMagic: Garchomp, Whimsicott, Weavile

Garchomp wasn't able to deal much damage to Slowbro, instead attempting to Toxic stall it.
Whimsicott continued the stall with Prankster substitutes, so Slowbro switched out.
Unable to deal much damage to Toxapex either, GrayMagic declared his scouting mission over and forfeited

Voltaire Magneton vs GrayMagic

Voltaire Magneton: Machamp, Breloom, Lucario, Carracosta, Crobat, Pangoro
GrayMagic: Whimsicott, Sylveon

VM really just rolled terrible Pokemon to have to fight these two fairies with.
Machamp's No Guard was a guaranteed hit for Whimsciott's Grass Whistle, followed by Moonblasts.
Breloom got blown away by Hurricane, though Lucario was fortunate enough to get a Blaze Kick crit.

From there, Sylveon's Pixilate Retaliate did huge damage, followed by copying Carracosta's Shell Smash with Psych Up and a sweep.

GrayMagic: Mimikyu, Altaria, Chespin, Deino, Mime Jr

Mimikyu is dangerous in randoms
After setting up a Swords Dance it went on a rampage taking down Hawlucha, Beheeyem and Gallade with super effective attacks
Eventually Toxic took Mimikyu out of commission, but a missed Stone Edge from Infernape let Altaria set up a second sweep.
While Swampert waited out a Perish Song count, Gray switched in some basics for experience.

I don't remember much from the start of this, but Azumarill and Clefable were causing a bit of trouble.
Weir's Sceptile was able to make a decent comeback and deal big damage to Gengar, but he remained one Pokemon behind and eventually forfeited.

Ebail: Drifblim, Nidoking, Gardevoir, Salamence, Ambipom, Klefki
Dash: A-Ninetales, Aurorus, Walrein, Sceptile, Metagross

God damn I did not ref this well.

Ebail started out with downright terrible rolls against Alolan Ninetales, who swept with hail-targetted Blizzards.
Salamence however was able to outspeed, and began a counter sweep taking out Ninetales, Aurorus and almost Walrein.
Ambipom and Metagross were about to go head to head when all sorts of delays happened, and mistakes made by me. In the end Ebail sent his sixth and forfeited.

GrayMagicGamma: Cofagrigus, Mimikyu, Blaziken, Slowking, Sylveon, Mr Mime
Ash K.: Gyarados, Emolga, Marowak, Sylveon, Weavile, Tropius

This one ended up really close. While reffing it felt like Gray was slightly ahead, though not by much, with a stronger set of randoms from his smaller Pokemon pool.
Although Gray had more Pokemon alive towards the end, their reduced health allowed Ash's Sylveon to sweep them up for a win.
