I figured that for PvP we would both PM our respective tactics to AB, so that we don't have our players go on a delay war, hoping to be the one who posts second once they know what move the opponent is using or what pokemon they switch with. AB combines the result and posts. Repeat until battle is interrupted or a victor emerges.

In regards to the delegation issue, the situation is unique in that not only does Renny have to lead to the house, as you said, but that we are at a possible risk of being attacked while in transport, which never happened before. Previously, the conflict was either
1: Already in action and we just joined in, with no risk of being intercepted since we were not a known factor.
2: We were investigating and they were stationed at a location.

However, NOW, we are the ones being targeted instead of us targeting them. That changes a few things in regards to risk and all that.

Renny is best suited for this task since he has two flying pokemons to help keep watch as well as intercept if he sees a problem. (The fact that both pokemon have a chance of AOE flinching 70% of the time now for delaying makes it SWELL) Technically, he's also best at water transportation too since he can use those as well as Swampert. ^^ Renny is just plain useful when it comes to LIVING with pokemon. Whether it be battle, transit between location and daily life. Personality wise, he has no trouble delegating if he can think of someone who is CLEARLY suitable for the task. But if someone doesn't inform him of their pokemon's specific moveset that might be suited to a task or they don't volunteer a better idea, he's willing to do it himself if he thinks it's for the best. (As long as it's within his capabilities to do with a considerable chance of success.)

But yes, for your info, Togekiss and Shaymin both have Air Slash which have 30% flinch chance, can use Divide upgrade to make it hit two foes (thus flinching two foes at once at best), both have Serene Grace to double the chance of flinch (thus making it 60% flinch chance), and equipping King's Rock and Razor Fang respectively which both have the same effect of adding 10% chance of flinching to all their offensive moves. (Air Slash gets extra 10% flinch chance). Total result? Two pokemons that can spam a half powered but STAB damaged Air Slash hitting one or two foes for 70% flinch rate TWICE, practically sure to flinch-lock them, or hit 3-4 foes for 70% flinch chance each. ^^

EDIT: Although since AB said that it can be done between players, we should probably have a referee that we can PM to, for the above mentioned reason. Preferably Bard or Dante because Geminex/Impact is just too damn evil in plain sight, I can't help thinking that he would support Pierce for the purpose of global domination. :3
