[GYM BATTLE #6] Saffron City Gym VS Sabrina

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

GYM BATTLE #6

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!

SAFFRON 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 Sabrina.
Any battle which ends in a draw is counted as a loss.


"I had a vision of your arrival!
I have had psychic powers since I was a little child.
I first learned to bend spoons with my mind.
I dislike fighting, but if you wish, I will show you my powers!"

Pokemon:
(Middle, Psychic type)
(Final, Psychic/Fairy type)
(Final, Psychic/Ice type)
(Final, Water/Psychic type)


Individual Prize: Marsh Badge , evolve one Pokemon.

BONUS! HARD MODE PRIZE: Defeat all 4 of Sabrina's Pokemon and receive a fossil. You may choose between the Dome Fossil and Helix Fossil. The fossil may be revived by claiming Kabuto or Omanyte in the Wild Pokemon Claim thread. You may come back and do this later.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Golem, Electabuzz, Mega BeedrilParasect, and Snorlax appear.

Snorlax V. Kadabra...Is just a slugfest that snorlax comes out on top of due to his superior statistics.
Parasect V. Mr. Mine is cinched out because Bug V. Psychic.
Golem V. Jynx...Is A tie. NO hard mode right off the bat, as Ground V. ice cancels out Rock V. Ice unfavorably.
Electabuzz V. Snorlax for the finale, as the Snorlax is fried by Electabuzz.

Result: V I C T O R Y !

I will return shortly for the total sweep.

EDIT: @Pokemon Trainer Sarah Edited with the actual win. I like how I somehow got a Magmar without even requesting it.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Mega Beedril V. Mr. Mine is cinched out because the Psychic bonus against poison cancels out the Bug bonus against Psychic...But not the Poison bonus against Fairy. Mr. Mime is basically a decayed husk.

@The Nonexistent Tazz
This is a tie cos there is no double super effective. :( I *think* the only Pokemon capable of beating it are fully evolved bugs that don't have poison as a secondary type (butterfree, scyther, pinsir). Psychic/Fairy (and Psychic in general) is a really strong type when there are no dark types or non-poison ghosts. xD

[Shieldbearer]

Only bug types, eh? Well... You're forgetting something, I should think!

Parasect VS Kadabra
Kadabra is handily spooked out of the gym.
Magneton VS Mr. Mime
Now, a mythology lesson for you. Fae don't really like cold iron. That goes for things both dormant and moving in to body slam you.
Arcanine VS Jynx
Jynx becomes... Blacker. Hair-wise and clothes-wise.
Raichu VS Slowbro
Slowbro's forced out of their shell with a jolt.
Result: Who says we need a lot of bugs? Just abuse their other type!

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Just in case, I edited in the win in my first battle.

now for the second win. Snorlax, Electabuzz, Magmar and Parasect join the fray.

Snorlax crushes Kadabra like before.
Parasect devours Mr. Mime alive.
Magmar melts Jinx.
Finally, Electabuzz fries Snorlax.

Overall, TOTAL DOMINATION. With that, I'll go claim a fossil.
