[GYM BATTLE #5] Fuchsia City Gym VS Koga

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

GYM BATTLE #5

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!

FUCHSIA 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 Koga.
Any battle which ends in a draw is counted as a loss.


"Fwahahaha! A mere child like you dares to challenge me?
Very well, I shall show you true terror as a ninja master!
You shall feel the despair of poison and sleep techniques!"

Pokemon:
(Basic, Poison type)
(Final, Poison/Bug type)
(Final, Poison type)
(Final, Poison/Ground type)


Individual Prize: Soul Badge , evolve one Pokemon.

There is no hard mode prize because I couldn't think of one. xD If you'd like to suggest one for the next gym, send me a PM!

[Chibi Altaria]

My Team:


Kangaskhan (Final, Normal type)
Rhydon (Final, Ground/Rock type)
Starmie (Final, Psychic/Water type)
Snorlax (Final, Normal type)

---

Koffing (Basic, Poison type) vs. Kangaskhan (Final, Normal type)

Evolution bonus -- Win

Venomoth (Final, Poison/Bug type) vs. Rhydon (Final, Ground/Rock type)

Rhydon is super effective -- Win

Weezing (Final, Poison type) vs. Starmie (Final, Psychic/Water type)

Starmie is super effective -- Win

Nidoking (Final, Poison/Ground type) vs. Snorlax (Final, Normal type)

No bonuses -- Draw

No hard mode works for me cause I don't have anything to beat Nidoking currently. xD

[Shieldbearer]

No hard mode prize? No problem! I'll still bury most of them.

My team:
Lickitung (Normal, Final)
Arcanine (Fire, Final)
Onix (Rock/Ground, Final)
Dugtrio (Ground, Final)

Lickitung VS Koffing!
Lickitung eats the Koffing, it self-destructs. That's a spicy meat-a-ball!

Arcanine VS Venomoth!
You know what they say about moths... Except this time, it wasn't the moth coming at the fire, but the fire coming towards the moth. Nature at its finest.

Onix VS Weezing!
The rock snake disarms the landmine by.... Burying it. The explosion only covered everyone in dirt.

Dugtrio VS Nidoking!
You'd think that a ground type would know all there is to know about holes. But, Nidoking, in part of being also a Poison type, still gets buried in a really deep hole.

Outcome: I told you I'd do it. Well, I'll have that badge now, if you wouldn't mind.

[Blaquaza]

My Team:
Marowak (Ground, Final)
Alakazam (Psychic, Final)
Rapidash (Fire, Final)
Onix (Rock/Ground, Final)

Round 1:
Vs
Onix is a higher evolutionary stage (Final Vs Basic), and has a type advantage (Ground Vs Poison). Onix wins!

Round 2:
Vs
Both are Final, but Rapidash has a type advantage (Fire Vs Bug). Rapidash wins!

Round 3:
Vs
Both are Final, but Alakazam has a type advantage (Psychic Vs Poison). Alakazam wins!

Round 4:

Both are Final, but Marowak has a type advantage (Ground Vs Poison). Marowak wins!

EDIT: I'd copied this post from the fourth Gym and left a quote in there that made no sense. There were some more minor text fixes too. :P

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

REDY 2 FITE

My mons are Mega Beedril (For swag), Golem, Hypno and Fearow.

ROUND 1: Koffing V. Mega Beedril.
Yeah, Koffing's just kind of popped like a balloon. Final v. basic. I win.

ROUND 2: Fearow V. Venomoth.
Fearow would like to remind the pathetic bug that its diet is bug-types, with that long spear-like beak. Nomming ensures. Victory.

ROUND 3: Golem V. Weezing.
In flagrant defiance of Levitate, Gen 1 style, Golem slam dunks Weezing into the garbage can. Ground V. Poison comes up in my favor for a win. BEGONE.

ROUND 4: Hypno V. Nidoking.
Hypno makes Nidoking thoroughly believe that he is a rubber ducky before tossing him out of the gym. Psychic V. Poison, ahahahaha. Hypno Victory.

OVERALL: COMPLETE DOMINATION, I WNI GAAIN.
