this would swing back once below 50% health
used a s/s Grey moth & a h/p spiny lizard, both rare.
opened with the moth, speed was a push so I could get in a few strikes first, but this would swing back once below 50% health.
the moth got down to only a few hit points left, so I had to swap to the lizard, lizard took some damage but killed his lizard. I had hoped the reduced damage vs beast moves would have given me enough edge to finish him, but alas.
or wow
then it was my lizard vs his critter, Zunta foolishly used hiss, then went into stampede. i of course just used claw. the bonus damage of claw was too much for him, hiss & stampede are inefficient in this battle, and the relatively small damage was a fine tradeoff when my claw was hitting for bonus damage.
in the end both of my pets were upright, and each dinged to level 3.
