Example Battle 2: Dealing with Dragons (or Ghosts)
Dragon types can cause confusion in GCEA, as they are super effective against themselves. People tend to think that because of this you just don't count that bonus ("I'm strong against them, they're strong against me, so it cancels out). This is not true. There are still ways for there to be bonuses, as I will demonstrate with the battle below.


Your Pokemon: Dragonite
Opposing Pokemon: Salamence
Your Pokemon's Points: 50
Opposing Pokemon's Points: 51
Bonuses:
Your Pokemon's Remaining Points:
Opposing Pokemon's Remaining Points:

I am keeping this one simple by using Pokemon where the only bonus will be Dragon Vs Dragon. However in this scenario, the bonuses will not be equal. They will both lose points due to being the disadvantaged Pokemon. However because their points are different, the bonus will also be different.

Dragonite is on 50 points, so will lose 13 points due to type disadvantage. However Salamence is on 51 points, placing it in a different bonus bracket. It will lose 15 points! So even though Salamence has more points, after the bonuses, it has less, now dooming it to lose.

Your Pokemon: Dragonite
Opposing Pokemon: Salamence
Your Pokemon's Points: 50
Opposing Pokemon's Points: 51
Bonuses: Dragonite (-13), Salamence (-15)
Your Pokemon's Remaining Points: 1
Opposing Pokemon's Remaining Points: 0

Had the advantages cancelled each other out, Salamence would have won, however the bonuses were not identical, which tipped the scales in Dragonites favor.

Example Battle 2: Minimum Points After Bonus.
Remember earlier, I mentioned that a Pokemon can not be brought below 5 points due type disadvantage? Well Dragonite here is going to show us how that can be useful.

Your Pokemon: Dragonite
Opposing Pokemon: Mega Abomasnow
Your Pokemon's Points: 1
Opposing Pokemon's Points: 50
Bonuses
Your Pokemon's Remaining Points:
Opposing Pokemon's Remaining Points:

The trick to winning battles in GCEA is to take away your opponents points whilst saving as much of your own as you can.

In this scenario, if Dragonite were at full points, he would be screwed. Don't get me wrong, he is still screwed, but he can be a lot more efficient in this scenario.
See, Abomasnow has a double advantage over Dragonite. His Ice typing is super effective against both Dragonite's Dragon and Flying types, whilst Dragonite only has Flying> Grass.

BUT Dragonite is on 1 point. He is already below 5 points, and a type advantage cannot bring a Pokemon below 5 points. So in this case, the only bonus counted is Dragonites Flying>Grass Advantage.

Your Pokemon: Dragonite
Opposing Pokemon: Abomasnow
Your Pokemon's Points: 1
Opposing Pokemon's Points: 50
Bonuses: Abomasnow (-13)
Your Pokemon's Remaining Points: 0
Opposing Pokemon's Remaining Points: 36

Dragonite didn't win that round, however, managed to deal 14 points and only lose 1 point, as opposed to dealing 14 points, whilst losing all 50 points (-13 Ice>Dragon, -11 Ice>Flying (as it went down a bonus bracket), then everything else to Abomasnow), to only deal 39 damage. Whilst the 39 damage seems better, it means that Dragonite wouldn't have been able to take out Salamence as well. The key to battling the best, is to deal as much damage for as little points.
