Badge Requests

[indigo_league]

 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!

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.

[lightningbearer]

Character: Geddoe | lightningbearer
Badge/Gym Leader: Falkner
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here! Updated just to the point he'd be making his challenge
Battle Details: So, Geddoe did this like... the day after the bodyswap event. He was very cranky, had an obvious black eye around his good eye, some signs of light scratches/bruises elsewhere, and generally looking so very D O N E with all this nonsense. Which means he just sent out Zipper and let the overleveled helioptile wreak havoc with electric attacks. Mostly thunder bolt spam, but if Zipper actually takes damage a parabolic charge would get thrown in to heal him back up. He has no plans to use the others, they're too low-leveled anyway. His plan is to take out the birds as quickly and efficiently as possible so that he can get out of town for an overdue change of scenery. There will be no mercy, just relentless thunderbolts.

Sorry, Falkner.

[toughlovin]

Character: Iwaizumi Hajime | toughlovin
Badge/Gym Leader: Zephyr / Falkner
Elite/Regular: Regular Team
Team: Larvesta LV 37 - Gastrodon LV 38 - Furret LV 46
Battle Details: Iwaizumi is under no delusion that this is going to be tough as he knows he'd at a type disadvantage right from the start, but believes that he and his team are matched enough to whittle down the enemy. With help from Oikawa, he's confident he'll make a dent in the enemies defences. So long as everyone does their best, to the best of their abilities, he has every faith that they could win. And if not, it's a learning and growing experience. He will just come back stronger. And probably with the same team, they'll have something to prove!

Noctowl: He'll send out his Larvesta for this battle. Fire moves and Leech Life will be the play for taking Noctowl down. Flame charge followed by Leech Life and spamming Flame Wheel until the match ends.

Honchkrow: If his Larvesta survives, Leech Life will be the first move made followed by Ember and Flame Wheel. Once it gets too much, he'll swap out for Gastrodoon. Gastrodoon will start with Ancient Power, followed by Water Pulse and Recover. If Gastrodoon falls here, Furret will be subbed in with a Slam followed by Sucker Punch and/or Quick Attack

Pidgeot: Should Gastrodoon have survived the last battle, she will follow the same pattern as the last. Eventually being swapped out for Furret. Furret's first move will be to Rest. Once healed, once more he'll go on the offensive with physical attack moves until the match ends.

[orangesmith]

Character: Narancia Ghirga | orangesmith
Badge/Gym Leader: Cascade/Misty
Elite/Regular: Regular Team
Team: Mr. Smith the Skarmory, Volare the Houndoom, Expresso the Liepard, Cannoli the Bewear, Broccole the Eldegoss, and Bacca the Pincurchin
Battle Details: Narancia has a bit of an...odd electric type in Bacca, but he's hoping that his team will be able to help him get that Cascade Badge!

VS. Golduck: Narancia will be opening with Broccole! This could go one of two ways, depending on if that Golduck has any Ice type attacks:
If the Golduck has no Ice attacks, then Narancia will have Broccole spam Leaf Tornado, this time remembering that Synthesis exists for healing if Broccole gets a bit too low health.
If the Golduck does have Ice attacks, then he'll switch out to Bacca and have her spam Spark, with use of Recover if her health gets too low. It'll be a very similar strategy either way, just with different Pokémon and moves.

VS. Lapras: At this point, Narancia will try to mix things up with Cannoli, taking advantage of the Fighting type's advantage against Ice with Hammer Arm. However, in the event that the Lapras turns out to know Psychic or Cannoli starts to struggle, then he'll switch back to Bacca and return to the Spark+Recover strategy mentioned above.

VS. Starmie: He's going to mix it up again, this time with Expresso! The Liepard will open with Fake Out for the free damage, then spam Night Slash. Hopefully this works out, but if not, then he'll send in Mr. Smith to try and finish things up.

[grandtrashking]

Character: Tooru Oikawa | grandtrashking
Badge/Gym Leader: Hive Badge / Bugsy
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Gyarados "Tobio" Lv. 38, Houndoom "Kyōken" Lv. 38, Corviknight "Aoi" Lv. 42
Battle Details:
For each of Bugsy's Pokémon, Oikawa's going to be going in with various Fire and Flying moves, but will have something of a challenge controlling his Houndoom who seems to not want to behave at first until the battle gets serious and winning becomes a priority. Then the fire dog will go all out until he's likely taken out. If/when his Houndoom is taken out, Gyarados will be sent out and use moves such as Dragon Tail and Water Pulse. For Scizor, Corviknight will be sent out and immediately set up with Hone Claws & Leers and just start chipping away with things like Power Trip and any Flying type move in his arsenal.

[dejabrewed]

backdated to 3/5

Character: Sandalphon | dejabrewed
Badge/Gym Leader: Hive | Bugsy
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Gabriel the Milcery (lvl. 81), Michael the Luxray, (lvl. 83) and Sariel the Noivern (lvl. 51) as backup.
Battle Details:
Due to circumstances regarding some very poor choices, he does not have a proper type advantage going into the gym. However, he does know he has the level advantage. He will lead with Gabriel, understanding that she has the best chance of survival against all of Bugsy's pokemon. Sandalphon will have her use Misty Terrain in order to set up an advantage, then stick with mainly using Draining Kiss and Dazzling Gleam until he has to set up another Misty Terrain.

In the odd chance he does have to switch out, he sends in Michael, focusing mainly on using Bite, Charge, and Spark if out on the field. Sariel is there mainly for moral support, but on the really off chance that he does have to use the Noivern, he will use Wing Attack and Air Cutter.

[fayblood]

Character: Shrike | fayblood
Badge/Gym Leader: Bugsy
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here~
Battle Details: So Shrike has a level 100 Togekiss. Three guesses who he's bringing to this fight.

Really though since he's aware of the level difference he'll let Shell primarily go on the offensive with Air Slash. And if needed, Ancient Power on the Scizor. Yawn and Wish are there as backups should he need to stall or heal, but... let's be honest he probably won't need to.

[lightningbearer]

Character: Geddoe | lightningbearer
Badge/Gym Leader: Bugsy
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: here!
Battle Details: This is basically Sassy's show. Geddoe will let the boldore go wild with the rock-type attacks, possibly throwing in a mud slap on the scizor. If for some wild fluke reason Sassy manages to go down, Geddoe will send Zipper in to finish cleaning house with some overleveled thunderbolts.

[heartofalioness]

Character: Princess Allura | heartofalioness
Badge/Gym Leader: Whitney, Plain Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Glicynia the Galarian Rapidash, Fraldor the Luxray, and Kirlos the Altaria
Battle Details:
First up is Glicynia against Girafarig. On paper, the match-up seems neutral at best, subpar at worst, given Girafarig is resistant to Psychic and only normally affected by Fairy, and has access to Ghost moves Astonish and possibly Shadow Ball that could mess up Glicynia if they hit. But not only does the Rapidash have an experience advantage, she’s a bit sturdier than the Long Neck Pokémon, considerably faster with a higher Attack, and she has a secret weapon… Megahorn! So Allura’s strategy is to take the initiative and just charge in with Megahorn before Girafarig has a chance to retaliate. If Girafarig manages to survive the initial assault and fight back, Glicynia has a Persim berry to ward against confusion, and should be able to endure a hit long enough to attempt another Megahorn, plus or minus a Bounce beforehand to possibly paralyze Girafarig and hold it still for a better shot.

For Clefable, Allura will bring out Fraldor. At first, the typing seems pretty neutral, but Allura chose him for the experience advantage and the resistance to Steel and Electric moves and neutrality to the rest of Cefable’s moveset in case this one is as loaded with TMs as in the games, immunity to paralysis, and a formidable arsenal of attacks. (Not to mention the Nidorina Allura got from Rainer is still VERY spicy...) Fraldor will start off with Light Screen and Flash in order to make it harder for Clefable to land an attack and to cause Special Attacks to do less damage if they do hit. And while Fraldor does excel in physical attacks, Allura doesn’t want to risk Clefable having Cute Charm and have Fraldor be infatuated, so instead the Luxray will attack from a distance with Thunder Wave to cause paralysis and follow it up with Thunder. If Clefairy manages to land anything that’ll cause a non-paralysis status condition, he has a Lum Berry on him that at least should keep Allura out of a loop of healing for a while.

And last but not least, it’s Kirlos versus Miltank! This might seem a bit risky, given that Kirlos is Dragon/Flying going against Miltank’s infamous Rollout, but there’s a reason for this. Agility and Cotton Guard will give him much-needed boosts to Speed and Defense to throw off Miltank's rhythm and to endure her physical attacks. And it’ll be pretty hard for Miltank to use Rollout if Kirlos Sings her to sleep, and she only has the one Lum berry to wake her up again. That sets Kirlos up nicely to hit her with a Hurricane for a powerful Special move with a 30% chance to confuse her, followed by Fly if she’s still standing.

SEVERELY backdated gym challenges don't mind me

[feathersfly]

Character: Hawks | feathers_fly
Badge/Gym Leader: Chuck, for the Storm Badge!
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Hawks' roster
Battle Details: Hawks is here to get that sweet, sweet Fly HM, and nothing will stop him. Granted, since Hawks' team is exclusively birds, almost all of which are flying types that are super-effective against fighting types, and over-leveled at that, this isn't even close to a fair match.

Hawks' opening with Tso, his Decidueye, who is a flying/ghost type immune to fighting moves, is borderline disrespectful in how Chuck's slim chances are essentially pared down to none. Not that Hawks behaves disrespectfully in any way; he's entirely professional here. But the choice alone shows that, even with the overwhelming advantages he already has, he's taking no chances whatsoever on not getting this critical HM and isn't looking to waste a second in getting his hands on it. He'll let Tso sweep Chuck's entire team, although of course if Tso did somehow run into any difficulties, there's a whole team of birds still waiting in the wings. (<-- Now this pun is disrespectful)

Character: Hawks | feathers_fly
Badge/Gym Leader: Jasmine, for the Mineral Badge!
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Hawks' roster
Battle Details: Unlike with Chuck, Jasmine's going to be a little trickier, in that steel naturally resists most of the moves Hawks' pokémon have access to. Sure, he's still got a significant level advantage on her regular team, but Hawks still wants to use some strategy here.

He'll lead with Yakitori, his Fearow - who happens to know Drill Run, a ground-type move. That should definitely get him through at least one member of Jasmine's team - possibly more. Then he'll bring out Roast, his Baile Oricorio, whose Revelation Dance is a powerful special (bypassing the high physical defense of steel types) super effective fire-type move. Between the two of them, they should have enough firepower (the puns just keep coming) to take down Jasmine's team of three.

[talkyourwayout]

Character: Louie Duck | talkyourwayout
Badge/Gym Leader: Fog/Morty
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: On-hand team, noting that these three Pokemon will be the ones he defaults to using. Someday I'll make the roster images actual links for these things...
Battle Details: First off, this is a little forward-dated! That said, as far as the team's levels and attacks go, I'm of course going with where things currently stand.

Louie's striving for more balance in his roster's levels, but that doesn't mean he's about to go into this under-prepared. It just means his strategy needs to be adapted to the team he's been training up! As such, Louie is taking a Rain Dance team to a Ghost fight.

Cavendish's rain dance along with Tesla's electric terrain will will be set up as soon as possible, with Louie refreshing these effects as needed whenever it's safe. The electric terrain is intended to keep his team awake in the face of any hypnosises, while the rainfall is to allow Cavendish's hurricane attack to be a guaranteed hit, as well as to power up Ruby's already-formidable Crabhammer attack.

Honestly, this gym battle is going to be a bit lighter on strategy than most of Louie's gym battles thus far, and heavier on raw power. He's also putting less emphasis on getting a STAB type advantage-- Though make no mistake, he'll be using Swords Dance-boosted Night Slash and Crunch moves with Ruby, especially if the going gets tough.

And while the type advantage thing is more about working with what he's got in terms of viable Pokemon, the fact that Louie's focusing on stronger attacks - albeit ones he's having his team further power-up - is because he's eager to get this badge obtained ASAP. He's not rushing it, really, but here's the thing: After this defeating this gym, Louie will be hitting the road with a traveling companion! The teen's only had his team to talk to for months now, so he's very happy-- This is relevant to challenging the gym because when Louie sets his mind to getting a task done efficiently, as he has here, he tends to really put in the effort with determination.

[toughlovin]

Character: Iwaizumi Hajime | toughlovin
Badge/Gym Leader: Hive/Bugsy
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Swellow: LV 43 - Meowstic: LV 57 - Larvesta: LV 53
Battle Details: Iwaizumi will go ham with Swellow at first, flying moves spammed until he takes out the first pokemon. Whether Swellow needs to or not, Iwaizumi will switch out to Meowstic for the second battle and whittle down Heracross with psychic moves. He'll use the same technique for the final battle, swapping out his pokemon to start fresh with Larvesta to ruin Scizor's day with powerful fire moves.

[perfectteatime]

Character: Byleth Eisner | perfectteatime
Badge/Gym Leader: Brock | Boulder and Misty | Cascade
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Meowstic LV.40, Luxray LV.36, Doublade LV.40, Minccino LV.40 (Backup)
Battle Details:

For Brock To battle Brock, Doublade will be the lead here, while she doesn't know any damaging steel moves, she will be relying on her ghost type moves here, as well as bug type moves to do damage, as she is steel she will be resistant to most of the rock type moves, and Byleth will use her to tank most of the damage. In conjunction with Meowstic dealing psychic damage but also using his stat-debuffing and protection moves to keep the team safe while they whittle down the opponents. Lastly, why would you bring a Minccino to a rock gym? That's because Byleth intends to use her to Sing the rock types to sleep and then deliver a devastating fightin-type Wake-Up Slap after they have been weakened by Meowstic and Doublade.

For Misty First out would be Meowstic for most of these fights. Using him to debuff the enemy with Disarming Voice and Leer, and protect the rest of the team with Reflect and Light Screen. He can also dish out quite the pain with Psychic and his other STAB moves. Doublade can also offer a lot of damage, specifically to Starmie with Night Slash. The real carry for this gym will be Luxray though, with his arsenal of electric-type moves, he will likely be able to handle most of the damage dealing with Thunder Fang.

[songofthedawn]

Character: G'rhyf Kett | songofthedawn
Badge/Gym Leader: Zephyr Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: link
Battle Details:
G'rhyf will start off with Kavi against Noctowl, opening with Confuse Ray, Minimize, and Harden to set up some survivability for what is otherwise a fairly straight-forward 'who punches harder' fight. With Brine to help finish Noctowl off a bit faster at the tail end of the battle, hopefully Kavi will still be standing for Honchkrow. It will get a similar treatment, with Jaya coming in with Hone Claws and Scary Face to help her out. Once Pidgeot is out on the field, Power Trip will be Jaya's last big hurrah before Dhaval comes out. Hypnosis and Double Team to set up, and then he'll just start blasting away with Moonblast. They don't really have typing to help them out here, so it's all just buffs, status affliction, and hoping the levels don't screw them over too badly.
