[GYM BATTLE #4] Celadon City Gym VS Erika

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

GYM BATTLE #4

Welcome to the Indigo League! Now that you have a tough team, it's time to take on the Gym Leaders of the Kanto region! Can you defeat them all and earn badges? Gyms will be open as long as the event is on, so if you can't defeat a leader yet, don't worry! Go out and catch some more Pokemon!

How it works
The details of how to battle are found in the spoiler below. The main things to remember are:
If your Pokemon is at a higher evolution stage then it has an advantage.
If at least one of your Pokemon's type's is super effective against the opponent, then it has an advantage.
If both you and the opponent have at least one type super effective against each other, the bonus cancels out. There is no "4x" or "double" super effective.

Spoiler:

Battling is based on only 2 things. What evolution stage your Pokemon is and its type.


Evolution stage
For the purposes of the game, pretend no Pokemon outside of Kanto exist.

A basic Pokemon is a Pokemon that is unevolved like Bulbasaur and Pikachu.
A middle evolution is a Pokemon that has evolved once and has the potential to evolve again, like Kakuna.
A final evolution is a Pokemon that can't evolve any further like Venusaur, Seadra or Scyther.

A Pokemon can defeat any Pokemon which are at a lower evolution stage (unless one Pokemon is super effective against another!)

Example:

Basic Pokemon vs Basic Pokemon = draw
Basic Pokemon vs Middle Evolution = middle evolution wins
Basic Pokemon vs Final Evolution = final evolution wins
Middle evolution vs Final Evolution = final evolution wins

Type Effectiveness

If at least one of the Pokemon's types is SUPER EFFECTIVE against the opposing Pokemon, then you get a bonus equal to one evolution stage.

Example:

Bulbasaur (Basic + Super effective) vs a Squirtle (Basic) = Bulbasaur wins
Bulbasaur (Basic + Super effective) vs Wartortle (Middle) = draw
Bulbasaur (Basic + Super effective) vs Blastoise (Final) = Blastoise wins

If both Pokemon are super-effective against each other, then the bonus cancels out.

Example:

Bulbasaur (Basic + Super effective) vs Geodude (Basic + Super effective) = draw
Bulbasaur (Basic + Super effective) vs Graveler (Middle + Super effective) = Graveler wins
Ivysaur (Middle + Super effective) vs Gyarados (Final + Super effective) = Gyarados wins
Venusaur (Final + Super effective) vs Gyarados (Final + Super effective) = draw

Example battle


Trainer Alex challenges you!
"I'm a new trainer but I'll do my best!"

Pidgeotto (Middle, Normal/Flying type)
Sandshrew (Basic, Ground type)
Metapod (Middle, Bug type)

Choose three of your own Pokemon to battle with! To make it simple, you can only use a Pokemon once per battle. So think of it like three 1 vs 1 battles!

My team:

Charmander (Basic, Fire type)
Abra (Basic, Psychic type)
Nidorino (Middle, Poison type)

The battle! Round One!

Pidgeotto (Middle, Normal/Flying type) vs Nidorino (Middle, Poison type)
No type bonuses. Draw.

Round Two!

Sandshrew (Basic, Ground type) vs Abra (Basic, Psychic type)
No type bonuses. Draw.

Round Three!

Metapod (Middle, Bug type) vs Charmander (Basic, Fire type)
Charmander is super effective. Draw.

Final outcome: Battle is a draw!

CELADON CITY GYM

Gym Rules:
You will battle with four Pokemon.
The gym will function as four 1 vs 1 battles.
You must win at least three of the four battles to defeat Erica.
Any battle which ends in a draw is counted as a loss.


"Hello. Lovely weather isn't it? It's so pleasant. ...Oh dear... I must have dozed off.
Welcome. My name is Erika. I am the Leader of Celadon Gym.
I teach the art of flower arranging. My Pokémon are of the grass-type.
Oh, I'm sorry, I had no idea that you wished to challenge me. Very well, but I shall not lose."

Pokemon:
(Basic, Grass/Bug type)
(Middle, Grass/Poison type)
(Final, Grass type)
(Final, Grass/Psychic type)



Individual Prize: Rainbow Badge , evolve one Pokemon.

BONUS! HARD MODE PRIZE: Defeat all 4 of Erika's Pokemon to receive 1x mega stone. You may come back and do this after you've already defeated the gym once. To use your mega stone, pick a Pokemon you want to permanently mega evolve. Mega evolutions have no extra advantage in battle and do not count toward the Pokedex, but their typing can change, which can be useful! Also they look really cool. ;)


Post your battle below. When your battle is approved and your name is added to the first post under Certified Trainers, you may go ahead and request to evolve a Pokemon in the Wild Pokemon Claim thread.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

My party:

Arbok (Final, Poison)
Gastly (Basic, Poison)
Parasect (Final, Bug & Grass)
Beedrill (Final, Bug & Poison) (well it should be a Beedrill now)

BATTLES:

Gastly V. Paras
Poison beats Grass, no other edges, so Paras goes and sheds many tears.

Arbok V. Weepinbell
Poison beats Grass (and the Grass type is ironically a Poison type) and Final beats middle, so Arbok wins.

Beedril V. Tangela
Poison beats Grass, Flying beats Grass, I think Tangela's a big mess right about now.

Parasect V. Exeggutor
Bug beats both Psychic and Grass (like it matters now), Exeggutor is served...Scrambled.

Overall: TOTAL DOMINATION. I will take that Mega Stone.

A Mega Stone! LET'S DO THIS

My team:
Charmander (Fire, Basic)
Wigglytuff (Normal, Final)
Farfetch'd (Flying, Final)
Arcanine (Fire, Final)

Round one! Paras!
This time, Charmander, after many losses, gets to win by breathing fire on the enemy. Doesn't it feel good to win for once?

Round two! Weepinbell!
Wigglytuff Sings to the Weepinbell's face as they wrestle. They take a nice nap.

Round three! Tangela!
Farfetch'd does the Jedi lightsaber spin and deflects the tentacles before pecking it in the eye. The pain!

Round four! Exeggutor!
Arcanine starts a forest fire. Battle won. Now to get outta here before the Pokemon Rangers are on to me...

Outcome: I'm taking the stone. Now, outta the way, the gym is on fire! I'm totally not responsible!
