Tony looked at all 9 pokemon involved in his battle. He knew none of the enemy pokemon, and only two of his own. Rather than look up any of the pokemon, however, he decided to see how well he could improvise with the bare minimum information. He started with the opponent with the most obvious typing, Durant. Clearly a bug/steel. Bug is strong to psychic, so that takes out the two pokemon he knows. Sudowoodo appeared to be a grass-type, also not a good match-up for the bug pokemon. That left the flying-type Togekiss, the electric-type Rotom, and the... water-type? Mantine. The choice was clear, flying beat bug. He sent in Togekiss and told it to use Air Slash. The pokemon did massive damage to the durant, but was swiftly knocked out by an Iron Head attack.

Tony paused thought for a moment before sending in Mantine. Tony saw that Air Slash was also available to Mantine and instructed for that move to be used. As Mantine did so, the durant managed to get off an attack, but it was merely a scratch.

The next pokemon up was Houndour, which appeared to be a dark-type. Again, not a good matchup for the two pokemon he knew, nor for Sudowoodo. Since Mantine was already out, Tony stuck with it. The Houndour sent out a torrent of flame and Tony realized it was a fire-type as well. He got lucky that he chose Mantine for this battle. He instructed the pokemon to use waterpulse, but it didn't knock out the houndour who rushed in with a powerful Crunch attack. It was on its last legs but it took out the Mantine.

Ok, so, Tony's choices were Sudowoodo, a grass-type, Gardevoir or Chimecho, psychic-types, or Rotom, an electric-type. Rotom appeared to be the only one without a type disadvantage, so Tony chose it. However, Tony realized his mistake when the Houndour used Crunch and it dealt a massive blow to the electric pokemon. It must have a secondary type Tony didn't realize that gave it a disadvantage. Then he saw it in the moves, multiple ghost-type attacks. That must be it. Tony decided to keep Rotom in and had it use discharge, finishing off the Houndour. Now all that was left was the behemoth.

Tony kept Rotom in, but it was instantly crushed by a rockslide caused by the monster before it, doing next to no damage to the beast. So, it's a rock type, a grass-type should do it. He then sent in Sudowoodo, then was shocked by what he saw. There were no grass moves, they were all rock, except for one fighting move. Tony had made a grave mistake. He told the Sudowoodo to use Hammer Arm, and it did some decent damage, but not enough, the apparently not-grass pokemon getting brought down by an earthquake attack.

Tony had two pokemon left. A chimecho and a gardevoir, neither of which had any notable advantages or disadvantages over rock-type. So, Tony sent in what he believed to be the more powerful of the two pokemon, Gardevoir. Almost instantly, the gardevoir took a massive blow from a crunch attack. Tony decided to use Draining kiss to try to prolong the battle, doing much more damage than he thought it should've done, right before the Tyranitar finished off the Gardevoir with a second Crunch. That left one pokemon to finish off the battle, and he wasn't sure if it was strong enough.

Tony sent in Chimecho to battle. The giant once again dealt a massive blow with a crunch, but then Tony noticed an attack this chimecho had equipped. Grass Knot. Strong type-wise and strong against large opponents. As soon as the psychic pokemon recovered, he had it use that attack. It was a close battle, the chimecho close to fainting, but it made it through.

After the battle, Tony looked at each of the pokemon to see how much was luck, and how much was skill. As it turns out, it was mostly luck, but he did have a few moments where he had thought things through and it paid off. What shocked him most though was how each of his pokemon, bar one, had a natural type weakness to the goliath that was... Mega Tyranitar, and only two had a natural type advantage, neither of which were the one that had no weaknesses. He won by luck of the draw and lucky choices. It was a win, but not one he could really be proud of, he couldn't always rely on luck.
