[GYM BATTLE #2] Cerulean City Gym VS Misty

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

GYM BATTLE #2

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!

CERULEAN CITY GYM

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


"Hi, you're a new face! Trainers who want to turn pro have to have a policy about Pokémon!
What is your approach when you catch Pokémon?
My policy is an all-out offensive with Water-type Pokémon""

Pokemon:
(Basic, Water type)
(Basic, Water type)
(Final, Water/Psychic type)


Individual Prize: Cascade Badge , evolve one Pokemon.


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.

First round, Fearow versus Starmie! Fearow is so much taller and more intimidating than Staryu, that Staryu just sort of faints.
Winner: Fearow

Second round, Bulbasaur versus Psyduck! Bulbasaur masterfully uses plants to quickly and cleanly defeat Psyduck!
Winner: Psyduck

Third round, Parasect versus Starmie! Mercilessly attacking with two super effective types, Parasect absolutely obliterates Starmie. Yay, Parasect!

Alright... I beat one gym with my Pokemon friends at my side. But I cannot let my starter's sacrifice be in vain. Charmander, please, not while I'm in the middle of a monologue... Anyhow! Time to get the next badge!

Luckily, I'm part of Team Mystic! Go, Oddish!

So! Time for my best! Go, Charmander!... What do you mean, you don't want to get out there? Get out there! Make me proud- Oh. Uh... I'll make it up to you for this one day. Promise!
