Badge Requests



 What does it take? It changes for each gym! Normally, the games increase in difficulty as you progress, but that wouldn't be any fun if characters could just as easily take on the Gyms that are supposed to be for top trainers only. THEREFORE, the gym leaders aren't going to be pushovers like in the games! In order to win a badge, the mods will take into account your current roster and the attacks and advantages to see whether your pokémon is strong enough to win a badge or not.

Each gym leader has a Regular Team of pokemon and an Elite Team of pokemon you can challenge. It's up to a trainer to decide which team to challenge, but if you take on the Elite Team of six level 100 Pokemon, you'll receive double the prize money. The items, however, are not doubled. Excellent for trainers looking for the extra challenge or those looking to make money fast.

!!! Badges must be mod approved. To earn a badge, please comment on this post. Please don't ask for more than two badges to be approved at once!

The Elite Four is now distributing Keystones and Mega Stones to promising trainers! Any trainer who has defeated all eight gyms of a single region will be granted a Keystone and one Mega Stone of their choice. No player will be able to have more than one Mega Stone at a time, and those looking to switch theirs out may do so once every four months. Mega Stones may be used in any casual trainer battle, but as far as gyms go may only be used in Elite battles.


The Indigo Plateau is now open to challengers! To qualify, trainers must have all sixteen badges from Johto and Kanto. Every Pokémon they face will be level 100, and the Elite Four and the Champion have heaps of talent and experience. As such, we will be reviewing Indigo Plateau challenges with more scrutiny than we bring to badge requests. A higher level of strategy is required to win on this field. Show us what you've got!

The League Certificate qualifying the winner to create and lead their own Pokémon "Gym." This Gym is part not of the Indigo League, but the Aurora League.
Aurora League Gym Leaders may choose their own battle specializations, as well as. design their own unique Gym (which will take one month to build from the time of request) and Badge (which will be available as soon as the Gym opens). They will be compensated for their work as Gym Leaders with a stipend that will cover building costs, labor (the Leader's and any Trainers they may employ), and rewards for victorious challengers.

We ask that Aurora Gym Leaders think carefully about the location of their Gym and the difficulty level they wish to present challengers. We also ask that they create their own Badge Request page like this one so that others can request battles with them.

To officially request an Aurora League Gym, fill out the provided template and comment here.



Please use this form to request a badge or a showdown with the Elite Four! Post your request as a comment to this post. Badges will generally be processed once per week, on either Wednesday or during the weekend. Please try not to PM or IM mods about badges (including elite challenges) unless your request has gone unanswered for more than a week.

!!! Please request badges as your character is actually in the general area of the gym!

!!! To preserve the spirit of the game, obtaining badges using recently-inherited Pokémon (ie, Pokemon received from dropped characters) that massively outlevel your own is discouraged. If this happens, you may be asked by the badge mod to revise your team. Inherited Pokemon that your character has had for a while and are the same level as the rest of your character's team are fine to use!

!!! Remember that you must fight all four members of the Elite Four and Champion Lance in a row. You may heal your Pokémon between battles and take a short break, but you cannot leave without ending your challenge.

Character: Steve Palchuk | [personal profile] breakyourlife
Badge/Gym Leader: Storm Badge (Chuck)
Elite/Regular: Regular!
Team: Here! (Swampert [lvl 99], Skuntank [lvl 95])
Battle Details:

Honestly... knowing Buttsnack the Swampert is level 99 gives Steve a confidence not to use much in the way of strategy against these guys. He'll be using brute force to try and beat things down.

However, after his defeat at Pryce's gym he's not quite confident enough to go in without backup. If anything goes wrong then his Skuntank (Stink Bomb) will be sent out to finish things off.
lioness_rampant: (normal_VLD_S1_E1_1139)

[personal profile] lioness_rampant 2020-02-09 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Allura | [personal profile] lioness_rampant
Badge/Gym Leader: Chuck / Storm Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here! ⇨ Altaria, Cinderace, Pachirisu
Battle Details: All of Allura's pokemon are kind of overpowered for this challenge. She starts with Blaytz the Altaria, whose flying type gives him a distinct advantage. He uses Fly and Aerial Ace to take down both Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, with potential backup from Gyrgan the Cinderace, who uses Counter to double the damage of his attacks. Trigel the Pachirisu comes in last, using Thunder Wave to paralyze Poliwrath and following up with Thunderbolt until Poliwrath is unable to battle.


Badge/Gym Leader: Jasmine / Mineral Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here! ⇨ Pachirisu, Cinderace, Altaria
Battle Details: Trigel is coming out first this time, using Electroball against Skarmory for the type and speed advantage, since Pachirisu's base speed is 25 points higher. Gyrgan comes out to face Magneton, belting out Pyro Balls until KO. Allura withdraws him after that and puts Blaytz on the field to face Steelix, since fire types are weak to ground but Blaytz'z flying type makes him immune. He uses a combo of Ice Beam and Natural Gift (with a cheri berry to produce a fire-type move) to take down Steelix.
lioness_rampant: (commanding officer)

[personal profile] lioness_rampant 2020-02-14 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Allura | [personal profile] lioness_rampant
Badge/Gym Leader: Pryce / Glacier Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here! ⇨ Pachirisu, Cinderace, Altaria
Battle Details: This challenge is a bit tricky for Allura's team in terms of typing, though she has a clear level advantage. Trigel the Pachirisu is first up, facing Dewgong with a Thunder Wave to paralyze and Electro Ball to take advantage of her superior speed, followed up with Thunderbolt.Pachirisu will take on both Dewgong and Lapras, but she's swapped out for Blaytz the Altaria when Mamoswine is up.

Although Blaytz, too, has a weakness to ice attacks, but he's immune to ground moves and his level means he's able to tank his way through a few hits--in addition, he starts out with Cotton Guard to raise his defense by three stages. Going on the offensive, he'll use Steel Wing and Allura's favorite, Return. An occasional Roost will restore his HP and also negate his flying type, which will help prevent him from being damaged by ice moves. Gyrgan is here primarily for backup, since he's strong against ice but weak to water and ground.


Badge/Gym Leader: Claire / Rising Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here! ⇨ Pachirisu, Altaria, Rattata
Battle Details: As with the last gym, Trigel is up first to take on Gyarados. She starts with Thunder Wave out the gate and follows up with Thunderbolt and Return. She'll be swapped out for Blaytz when Kingdra's sent out, but not until she's used Thunder Wave again to paralyze it. Blaytz follows up with a powerful Moonblast and finishes the job with Dragon Pulse.

The final showdown will be between Blaytz and Dragonite. Leading off with Perish Song guarantees the fight can't last long. Next is Ice Beam, which has a slight chance of freezing Dragonite. Either way, she'll wrap things up with Moonblast and Dragon Pulse once more.

Character: Jolyne Cujoh | [personal profile] strings_theory
Badge/Gym Leader: Brock
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Stone Free, Ermes, and Weather Report
Battle Details: SO JOLYNE IS SLAMMING INTO THIS GYM THE FIRST DAY OF MARCH. THE SECOND IT OPENS. Because she's ready.

She's going to be using Stone Free a hell of a lot simply due to type advantage, making sure to string shot anything that might be faster than her team and making Brock cry by abusing endure and razor leaf.

Ermes is the ace in the hole what with abusing stamina to up her defense any time a physical move hits and, let's be real, that's Brock's entire damn team. Between high horsepower, counter, and bulldoze, it's going to be an absolute mess.

Weather Report is mostly there if needed to clean up after any mess and also for use of tail whip, baby-doll eyes, and sand attack as that furfrou is an absolute asshole.

Of course Jolyne is still continuing her trend of using anything but the actual attack names and is absolutely going in with the intention of making Brock want to cry after she's done with him.

She rude.

[personal profile] notyourgoddess 2020-03-03 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Maya | [personal profile] notyourgoddess
Badge/Gym Leader: Rainbow /Erika
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Firehawk | Talonflame (Lv.100), Rakkbat | Golbat (Lv.100), Elpis | Lunatone (Lv. 100)

Battle Details: Maya is 100% using type advantages to her advantage here as somehow she has a lot of flying pokemon to pick from.

She will be going after the Bellossom with Firehawk who will be using her fire and flying attacks such as Flame Charge and Acrobatics. Always try to get rid of the stronger pokemon first.

Next, Rakkbat will use her poison and flying advantage to go after the Tangrowth. She will be using moves such as Air Slash and Venoshock. Poison all the things.

Lastly, not a flying type but still a Rock type for that advantage, Maya will send out Elpis to take on the Jumpluff. She will be focussing on Rock type attacks like stone edge and also level advantage. The other two if they are knocked out will also be there in case the rock attacks aren't cutting it.

Character: Connie Maheswaran | [personal profile] conniemaheswaran
Badge/Gym Leader: Brock / Boulder Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular Team
Team: Artemis the Gallade, Cú Chulainn the Scizor, and Hercules the Pangoro
Battle Details: Artemis with resistance against Rock-type moves will lead the charge in this fight, opening with Swords Dance to pump up their Attack with the hope of one-shotting Rhyhorn with a single Leaf Blade at 4x effectiveness, using it once or twice more if they absolutely have to. With the Golem's formidable Defense stat, they'll open with a Leer to bring it down before continuing to spam Leaf Blade until it goes down—the high critical rate of the move and the previous Swords Dance setup should help here. By the time Onix gets brought out, they'll use Leer twice to bring its massive Defense down as much as possible before continuing with the Leaf Blade strategy. What works, works.

If Artemis goes down unexpectedly, Cú Chulainn will be swapped in and continue with a similar strategy: Swords Dance, Leer as necessary, and Metal Claw for STAB and 2x super-effective damage, while if she goes down, Hercules with go in with a few Leers and a Hammer Arm at the ready.

Character: Jolyne Cujoh | [personal profile] strings_theory
Badge/Gym Leader: Misty
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here specifically using Stone Free, Weather Report, and Dickhead
Battle Details: LOWERING STATS WORKED SO WELL LAST TIME THAT WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN. Weather Report is primarily there to lower stats to hell and back with growl, sand attack, baby-doll eyes, tail whip, and charm. He's also there for retaliate if, somehow, Misty manages to take the other two pokemon down. Will also have liberal use of sucker punch before fucking back off to Jolyne.

Stone Free is going to be the main hitter of the party what with being grass/bug via liberal use of razor leaf and bug buzz but will also be liberally using sticky web and string shot to slow them way the hell down. And an assholish protect every so often.

Dickhead is there to round out the team with assurance and bite, primarily, against the damn starmie. And also being true to his name and abusing fake out. He does have technician which would help some of the weaker moves.

Badge/Gym Leader: Cascade Badge (Misty)
Elite/Regular: Regular!
Team: Over here! (Galvantula [lvl 45], Braviary [lvl 57])
Battle Details:

Being a part electric type, Steve's Galvantula is going up first. She'll be starting out with Thunder Wave to stun her opponents, then using Electroweb and Electro Ball. They'll be using the same strategy each time, but Steve may switch to using Absorb once his Galvantula starts looking worse for the wear.

When she goes down, his Braviary will be taking over. Possibly not the smartest choice given his weakness to ice moves, but here we are.

[personal profile] insidescoop 2020-03-10 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Carly Nagisa | [personal profile] insidescoop
Badge/Gym Leader: CASCADE BADGE
Elite/Regular: REGULAR TEAM
Team: The Whole Gang is HERE! ...except Zero he stays on the bench.
Battle Details: It occurs to Carly, as she goes to Cerulean to watch Connie go for this badge, that if she doesn't do it now she's going to end up with a team of level 100s again by the time she Can.

She already fears for poor Brock when she finally does reach Pewter. RIP Brock.

In any case, the team is a little over-levelled, but not so much that she's going to feel bad. Baby Boo is the first up of course, because as a Grass type and a bit of a tank to boot, Baby Boo has a heck of an advantage here.

Also they float like one of those weird little boat buoys, if boat buoys looked like the lights from a graveyard everyone warned you about. Boy it Sure Would Suck if the Power Went Out.

For the most part, Boo will be handling things; aside from standard hitting moves like Razor Leaf, they'll be making liberal use of Leech Seed and Confuse Ray as well- and in Lapras' case, possibly a bit of Astonish and Pain Split if the ice gets to them too much.

Ultimately the others are Back Up to the extreme; if Baby Boo falls, it'll be up to Red Buster to pick up the slack using brute force- and if Red Buster falls, Evey the Milcery gets to see if being a blob of white in a pool makes for a visual advantage whilst spamming Dazzling Gleam. And if EVEY falls.

Well. Kyusei probably won't have to do much beyond use slam at that point.

Really, Carly doesn't expect it to come to that- she's pretty sure Boo will be fine.

Character: Shiro | [personal profile] shiro2hero
Badge/Gym Leader: Brock | Boulder Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Link
Battle Details: Shiro comes armed with a Tropius and he knows how to use her. The type advantage playing strong here -- grass versus rock. Her backup is going to be Gengar and Gallade, using their status changing moves to wear down the opposing pokemon until Tropius can sweep them.


Badge/Gym Leader: Misty | Cascade Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Link
Battle Details: Shiro will take a similar type-based approach to this fight, too. Except, this time, he's swapping out the Marowak for his Electrode. Leading with Tropius, the grass and electric type are going to be tag-teaming Misty's water pokemon. If they need backup, Gengar and its hypnosis will come to their aid again.

Look he's figured out type matchups, and even with his pokemon at their max level, it seems like a safe thing to bet on.

[personal profile] insidescoop 2020-03-22 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Carly Nagisa | [personal profile] insidescoop
Badge/Gym Leader: Thunder Badge
Elite/Regular: REGULAR
Team: Tadaaaah- Kyusei Time. (And I mean, Boo and Buster and a certain CreamDrop are there but. Kyusei Time. ACQUIRE THE SIRE)
Battle Details: Ever make a last minute badge decision and have it work out? That's Carly on the 25th when she meets up with Jolyne. Between an overleveled oblivious quagsire with earthquake and a bunch of electric types- including a floater who isn't immune to ground (though Mud Shot may just be the more advisable route in that case), Surge is...well.

He'll recover. Maybe.

Character: Carly Nagisa | [personal profile] insidescoop
Badge/Gym Leader: Rainbow Badge
Elite/Regular: REGULAR
Team: Tadaaaah- and now for Boo to shine! ...Also maybe Buster
Battle Details: Erika, ultimately, is the one who will be the roughest. With nothing but grass types (and a grass flying), Carly might have a good number of resistances but. Well...not a whole lot on the end of super effectiveness.

Fortunately she Does have strategy (and levels, as ultimately she's still got a team who surpasses the strongest member Erika has by 5 levels). First up, notably, will be Boo; Boo will be first up as often as possible, for one key reason.

Trick-or-Treat. Since it makes the opposing pokemon ghost type, but otherwise leaves Erika with a pile of nonghost moves, not only does it remove the threat of STABs from her, but it means Carly can land supereffective ones. With moves like Shadow Ball, Shadow Sneak, and Phantom Force, it's going to hit the newly made 'ghost' types hard.

Whenever it looks like Boo might be in a pinch though, Carly will pull them back to use some potions while Red Buster the Aegislash takes over. As another ghost, he can certainly leave the hurt- he has Shadow Sneak too, but also the now supereffective Night Slash. But primarily, he's there to hold the defense as needed...

Which probably won't happen since Boo is a supersized Tank.

Character: Jolyne Cujoh | [personal profile] strings_theory
Badge/Gym Leader: LET'S PUNCH SURGE
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here using specifically Ermes, Emporio, and Primeape
Battle Details: THIS IS THE GYM WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. Ermes is going to be the fun thing to be using the majority of the time given she's straight up a ground type and will be laughing at everything Surge's team tries to do. Plus the fact that Ermes has stamina that raises her defense if Surge is stupid enough to use physical attacks against her. Which, uh, given the non-electric attacks most of these pokemon have? Is gonna be hilarious. And a lot. She's primarily going to wreck their shit via earthquake and superpower on the magneton.

For funsies she might just use Emporio or Primeape against the Magneton. Probably Emporio who will just kind of use fire blast or inferno to make quick work of the steel type.

Primeape is literally just there for backup on the magneton.

Character: Jolyne Cujoh | [personal profile] strings_theory
Badge/Gym Leader: Erika
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here and using Jotaro, Emporio, and Stone Free
Battle Details: HEY LOOK, HAVING A TON OF FIRE TYPES HELPED.

The primary MVP here will be Jotaro, who is an angry-ass fire bird that does not appreciate this crap what-so-ever. If Erika won't hit him directly then he'll hit them directly via acrobatics and flame charge to abuse the ability he has with flame body to burn these suckers.

Emporio is there for fire support backup, primarily with usage of fire blast or inferno.

Stone Free is back-up specifically for tangrowth and bellossom if needed since bug types seem to have fun against them which means ample use of swords dance and x-scissor.

Jolyne didn't come to play.

Character: Steve Palchuk | [personal profile] breakyourlife
Badge/Gym Leader: Boulder Badge (Brock)
Elite/Regular: Regular!
Team: Over here! (Squirtle [lvl 36], Totodile [lvl 38])
Battle Details:

Most of Steve's current regular team are either too weak or noooooooot that great against rock types. He finally seems to be getting the idea that sometimes a good type match is better than having those extra levels, so he guesses this is a good time to try out some of his water types he hasn't had much chance to train yet.

His Squirtle is his main bet here since he has a wider pool (ha!) of moves. Hydro Pump is going to be his primary move, but if the lower accuracy it proving to be a bit too problematic there's also Aqua Tail.

If taking out all three by himself takes too much then Steve's Totodile is on standby with Water Gun.
