[GYM BATTLE #1] Pewter City Gym VS Brock

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

My team:

Golem: Final Rock/Ground
Psyduck: Basic Water
Sandshrew: Basic Ground

Psyduck versus Cubone: Water is Supereffective against Ground, Cubone loses.

Sandshrew versus Geodude: Ground is supereffective against Rock (funnily enough Ground is one of the few types which doesn't resist itself last I checked), Geodude loses.

Golem versus Onix: They're both exactly the same mechanically, so it's a draw.

End Result: V I C T O R Y !

Approved!

Go Bulbasaur, Psyduck, and Sandslash!

Psyduck versus Cubone! Psyduck has a type advantage, Psyduck wins!

Bulbasaur versus Geodude! Ground is super-effective against Bulbasaur's poison. HOWEVER, Bulbasaur's Grass is x4 effective against Geodude's Rock and Ground types!
So, pretty much, it's a draw.

Finally! Sandslash versus Onix! Both are final evolutions! BUT! Sandslash's Ground typing is super effective against Rock types! Sandslash wins!

SO! I win!

Approved!

My Pokemon

Poliwag (Basic, Water type)
Seel (Basic, Water type)
Blastoise (Final, Water type)



Brock's Pokemon

(Basic, Ground type)
(Basic, Rock/Ground type)
(Final, Rock/Ground type)


Poliwag vs Cubone ( Poliwag Wins )
Seel vs Geodude ( Seel Wins )
Blastoise vs Onix ( Blastoise Wins )

Outcome: Victory vs Brock

Approved!

My team:

Squirtle (Basic, Water type)
Primeape (Final, Fighting type)
Venusaur (Final, Grass/Poison type)

The battle! Round One!

Cubone (Basic, Ground type) vs Squirtle (Basic, Water type)
Squirtle is super effective. Squirtle wins.

Round Two!

Geodude (Basic, Rock/Ground type) vs Primeape (Final, Fighting type)
Primeape is super effective and evolved. Primeape wins.

Round Three!

Onix (Final, Rock/Ground type) vs Venusaur (Final, Grass/Poison type)
Venusaur is super effective. Venusaur wins.

Final outcome: I win!

Approved but for future reference, Onix's Ground is super effective againt Venusaur's poison, so the last battle is a draw!

Pokemon used: Mizu the Wartortle, Trista the Kadabra, Spike the Nidoran (male)

Cubone vs Spike--After an epic struggle, this comes out a tie due to no type advantages
Geodude vs Mizu--No problem for Wartortle
Onix vs. Trista--Despite a heroic effort on Trista's part, Onix wins

Result: Tie--Sky got Boulder Badge!

Nidoran (Poison) is weak to Cubone (Ground), so that one is a loss. That makes a loss, a win and a tie (which counts as a loss). So that's a loss overall. Don't give up though! :D

vs - Win, Super Effective
vs - Win, Super Effective
vs - Draw, Super Effective but Middle-Stage

Result: 2/3 Win!

Approved!

My Team:
- Poliwag (basic, water)
- Diglett (basic, ground)
- Vileplume (final, grass/poison)

Battle Begin:

1. Cubone (basic, ground) vs. Poliwag (basic, water)
Water beats ground so Poliwag wins!

2. Geodude (basic, rock/ground) vs Diglett (basic, ground)
Ground beats rock so Diglett wins!

3. Onix (final, rock/ground) vs Vileplume (final, grass/poison)
Grass beats rock and ground, but ground beats poison so draw!

End Result: The battle undeniably goes to me!

Approved!

My team
Ivysaur (Middle, Grass/Poison type)
Dewgong (Final, Water/Ice)
Clefable (Final, Fairy)

Battle starts.
(Basic, Ground type) VS Ivysaur (Middle, Grass/Poison type)
Ivysaur is super effective with Grass type, Cubone is super effective with Ground type. Type bonuses cancel out. Ivysaur's evolution stage is higher [OVERALL IVYSAUR WINS]
(Basic, Rock/Ground type) VS Clefable (Final, Fairy type) No type bonuses. Clefable's evolution stage is higher. [OVERALL CLEFABLE WINS]

(Final, Rock/Ground type) VS Dewgong (Final, Water/Ice type)
Dewgong is super effective against Onix with both Water and Ice type, Onix is super effective against Dewgong with Rock type. Type bonuses cancel out (I think) Evolution stages are a draw. [OVERALL DEWGONG AND ONIX DRAW] I think

Results:
2 wins to Coru
1 draw between Coru and Brock [1 loss for Coru]
[CORU WINS]
@Pokemon Trainer Sarah, If your pokemon has two type advantages and the opposing pokemon has one, do they still cancel each other out, or does the one advantage only cancel out one other advantage, leaving my Dewgong still in the win?
It says that if at least one type is super effective you get one boost in terms of evolution stage so it sounds like it would still be a draw but i'm unsure.

Approved! There is no 4x bonus. It's just super effective or not super effective.

My Team:
(Grass/Poison, Basic)
(Water, Basic)
(Water/Poison, Final)

Round 1:
Vs
Both are Basic, but Bulbasaur has a type advantage (Grass Vs Ground). Bulbasaur wins.

Round 2:
Vs
Both are Basic, but Squirtle has type advantages (Water Vs Rock and Water Vs Ground). Squirtle wins.

Round 3:
Vs
Both are Final, but Tentacruel has type advantages (Water Vs Rock and Water Vs Ground). Tentacruel wins.

Onix's Ground is super effective against Tentacruel's Poison. There is no extra bonuses for having two advantages against a Pokemon, so that one's a draw. But you still win overall, so approved!

::shakes hands with Brock::

That's okay--knowing he'll tell me a story if I win next time is motivation to train and find more!

Approved! But Gyarados and Onix both have bonuses over each other, so they cancel out. But you still win :)

Approved! But Gyarados and Onix both have bonuses over each other, so they cancel out. But you still win :)

Is your battling not a system of plus and minuses? + Water over Rock + Water or Ground + Evolved - Rock over flying?

or is just having multi bonuses count as one?

Nope. It's just super effective or not super effective. There is no doubly super effective. I'm open to changing it if people prefer, but it makes it more complicated I thought.

(Basic, Ground) VS (Basic, water)
Both Basic, however Water has a type advantage. WINNER: Squirtle!!

(Basic, Ground/rock) VS (Basic, grass)
Both are basic, and Geodude's ground has an advantage over Bulbasaur's poison. However, Bulbasaur's Grass has a double type advantage, giving it the upper hand. That and Ground is only half as strong against grass anyway. WINNER: Bulbasaur!!

Both final. Onix's ground has an advantage over Nidoqueen's poison while Nidoqueen's ground has an advantage over Onix's Rock. OUTCOME: TIE!!

FINAL BATTLE OUTCOME: MORZONE WINS!!!!

ALMOST!!! But there is no double super effective in this, so I'm afraid Bulbasaur and Geodude tie as they are both super effective against each other... which means the overall battle is a loss. :( Feel free to edit the battle with that in mind!

[Morzone]

Ah Fudge. I saw that LK had mentioned the x4, but had misread the battle and thought it said that it had been won. Here's my edited, and in hindsight much better, battle!

(Basic, Ground) VS (Basic, water)
Both Basic, however Water has a type advantage. WINNER: Squirtle!!

(Basic, Ground/rock) VS (Basic, fighting)
Both are Basic, but Mankey's fighting is super effective against Geodude's rock. WINNER: Mankey!

(Final, Ground/rock) VS (Final, ground/Poison)
Both final. Onix's ground has an advantage over Nidoqueen's poison while Nidoqueen's ground has an advantage over Onix's Rock. OUTCOME: TIE!!

FINAL BATTLE OUTCOME: MORZONE WINS!!!! (for sure this time!)

By the way I noticed a mistake in the judging of one of the earlier battles (Now that I know you need 2 wins to count as victory) but as its already been approved it probably doesn't really matter much.

I forgot about Ground Vs Poison... Silly me. :(
