[GYM BATTLE #7] Cinnabar Island Gym VS Blaine

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

GYM BATTLE #7

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!

CINNABAR ISLAND GYM

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


"Hah! I'm Blaine! I am the Leader of Cinnabar Gym!
My fiery Pokémon will incinerate all challengers!
Hah! You better have Burn Heal!"

Pokemon:
(Basic, Fire type)
(Final, Fire type)
(Final, Fire/Flying type)
(Final, Fire type)
(Final, Fire type)


Individual Prize: Volcano Badge , evolve one Pokemon.

BONUS! HARD MODE PRIZE: Defeat all 5 of Blaine's Pokemon and you may add any one basic/unevolved/non-evolving Pokemon you don't already own to your team (excluding Ditto/Porygon/Aerodactyl and legendaries which aren't available in the game yet).

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. When your hard mode run has been approved, you may request the Pokemon you want in the Wild Pokemon Claim thread.

There are like no dual fire types so this kinda sucked. XD I only made it so you gotta defeat 3 Pokemon to win, because of that. :P

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Swapped Ninetales for Vulpix because I think it was a bit too difficult and I don't want it to be impossible. Hopefully everyone can manage to beat 3 Pokemon now!

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Golem, Electabuzz, Snorlax, Hitmonlee and Primeape step up.

Snorlax crushes Vulpix under bulk.
Golem steamrolls Arcanine into the floor.
Electabuzz turns Charizard into McCharwings.
Hitmonlee and Rapidash duel to a draw.
Primeape and Magmar copy the above result.

End result, 3/5, a victory by those standards. I'll take the Volcano Badge.
