How much recoil does it take from Brave Birding a Substitute?

I'll have to go check that out...
Edit: Eh, not that much. But I'd still think both would faint as a result.

[AquaRegisteel]

Right, Staraptor has to die somehow:

- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power Fire
- Trick

(shoot, max hp still takes 49.01% max D=)

Are we on Staraptor or Breloom? If the former, I'm thinking of changing Drill Peck > Brave Bird so I can actually counter it.

Yes, but it won't much matter.

i'm not quite sure about that. breloom i think.

The scenario that's playing out in my head goes as follows:
turn 1: staraptor switch in, loom spores.
turn 2: loom focus punch, staraptor takes 77-99% of damage even with loom at -1.
turn 3: definitely the kicker. here, staraptor has a 50% chance to wake up. if it does, it's gg for loom. however, 50% chance to win isn't the rule, it's 75% chance. basically, raptor doesn't wake up and thus dies.

There's a few different scenarios, too. However, it revolves around that 50% chance to wake up, so it's not enough. spore on the switch in is what makes loom tough to beat.

so to answer oceaniclanturn's question, we're on breloom still, because darn that thing.

Ok, taunt goes through sub, so that's fun.
banette @ ghost gem (couldn't use focus sash so i picked a random item)
brave nature, ability = insomnia
252 atk; 0 ivs in hp, def, spdef, spd
-taunt
-trick room
-destiny bond
-shadow claw
forces loom to set up seeds and sub on first 2 turns. banette can come in and use taunt or trick room turn 2, taunt/trick room turn 3, and then proceed to break looms sub and 2hko with shadow claw.
