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.

[bertall]

Character: Bertolt Hoover | bertall
Badge/Gym Leader: Lt. Surge/Vermillion
Elite/Regular: Regular!
Team: Marcel the Slobbercanine, Herja the Pupitar, Brunhilde the Rhyhorn, Freja the Houndoom, That Tiny Round Thing That Ate A Dumptruck, and Stormr the Electrike
Battle Details: SO Bertolt is going to be leading his charge with Marcel and Brunhilde - Marcel being his strongest, and Brunhilde so she can burn off all of her extra energy. With Marcel, he'll be relying mostly on his Extreme Speed and fire attacks, and if he's able to, Hyper Beam. While it's recharging it'll leave him open, but should Marcel end up falling, he'll swap in Brunhilde to focus on Surge's team with her ground attacks. The same will go with his Pupitar should anything happen to his Rhyhorn, and his Houndoom is purely with for back-up should all of the others go down too. Of course if the rest of her "pack" goes down, she'll be relentless in her attacks, and it'd be a very bad idea to be on the wrong end of any Hyper Beams from her.

His Elecktrike is tagging along purely to see if being around other electric types/being in his element will help him bond more with Bert, and his Aron is... well. Moral support.

And it's the easiest way to make sure he doesn't eat anymore trucks in Vermillion City. Don't give him that look! He didn't think he'd take down a dump truck that was hundreds of times bigger!

[fuelthefire]

Character: Krieg | fuelthefire
Badge/Gym Leader: Zephyr / Falkner
Elite/Regular: Regular!
Team: Boop! (Blaziken, Charizard, Mudsdale, Grimer, Electrode)
Battle Details: Krieg will be using his (level 35) Electrode as his first heavy hitter because HECK YEAH type advantage! His (level 48) Mudsdale and (level 50) Grimer will be the initial backups if the electricity can't cut it. He'll only pull out his Charizard and Blaziken as a last resort, since they're kind of insanely overpowered for this particular match. But, if brute force is what it takes to win...

[kissmyaspis]

Character: Athena | kissmyaspis
Badge/Gym Leader: Zephyr
Elite/Regular: Regular!
Team: Here! She's only got six pokemon so that's her full team rn
Battle Details: She'll be starting off hitting hard with Zeus (lvl 60 Luxray) and taking full advantage of his speed and type advantage to mess with Falkner's birds. That'll be her main strategy, because that's the only type advantage she has over Falkner, but she'll send out Xiphos (lvl 100 Aegislash) and Typhon (lvl 100 Haxorus) as some muscle to chip them down with pure force if Zeus goes down! The others will be on standby, with Cerberus (lvl 100 Arcanine) next in line to go out if things get hairy (bc Hermes and Ares are weak to flying whoops).

BACKDATED to like April 30th

[foolishwren]

Character: Heather Mason | foolishwren
Badge/Gym Leader: Thunderbadge | Lt. Surge
Elite/Regular: Elite Team
Team: Here!
Battle Details: Heather is bringing: Carousel (Rapidash), Arty (Furret), Cujo (Growlithe), Val Jr. (Hitmonchan), Huan (Houndoom), and Alessa (Absol).

Heather is getting a little concerned by how much she seems to rely on Fire-types these days-- but WELLP. You make do with what you got!

In this case, there is exactly one superstar here, and everyone else is playing backup. That superstar is Carousel, who knows Drill Run. Heather plans to harness the Rapidash's excellent speed in order to spam the heck out of that move until it can be spammed no longer.

Should Carousel be knocked out of the running before taking out the whole team, she's hoping the rest of her roster's array of Fire and Fighting moves will make a melty dent in Magnezone, with brute force taking care of the rest.

As a last resort, she's got Arty's trusty Dig move.

[notmyrealname]

Character: Cissnei | notmyrealname
Badge/Gym Leader: Marsh Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular Team
Team:
Reno (lv. 60)
Shuriken (lv. 60)
Fiend (lv. 49)
Costa (lv. 54)
Flux (lv. 59)
Rocket (lv. 59)

Battle Details:
Cissnei's main strategy here is going to involve a lot of switching around when it comes to Pokemon. She's going to utilize Shuriken's Charm, Baby-doll Eyes and Sand Attack to make it harder for their opponents before swapping out to either Reno or Rocket for some sheer power house hits. Flux will act as back up when need be but all three of them will be in a constant rotation, backing up her other Pokemon who have the type advantage.

She's more worried about the Mr. Mime and Alakazam because of their sheer power so she's going to specifically save Costa and Fiend for them. Utilizing their ghost-type and dark-type moves, Cissnei is going to use the type advantage for all it's worth, Fiend using Shadow Ball, Shadow Sneak and Night Shade the most while Costa will use Embargo, Crunch and Sucker Punch the most.

[schachmeister]

Character: Armin Arlert | schachmeister
Badge/Gym Leader: Saffron City / Sabrina / Marsh badge
Elite/Regular: Regular team
Team: Magellan the Incineroar (lvl70), Himeko the Steelix (lvl 52), Amadeus the Noctowl (lvl 100)
Battle Details:

Star of this battle is definitely going to be Magellan the mighty incineroar, who not only is a dark type with several dark attacks which psychic types are vulnerable too, but who, himself, is completely immune to psychic attacks.

Armin is going to start off the battle by pitting Magellan against Sabrina's Espeon. Magellan will start by trying to get a few good Licks in. Not only is this a ghost type attack (which Espeon is vulnerable to, but Armin is mainly hoping this will paralyse Magellan's opponent). Afterwards, he'll switch to using his three dark typed attacks (Bite, Darkest lariat, Throat chop) in rapid succession until Espeon is down for the count. Due to Magellan's favourable typing and his higher level, Armin is expecting Magellan to get through the fight relatively okay.

For the second fight against Mr Mime, Armin will withdraw Magellan and instead send out his steelix Himeko. Mr Mime is vulnerable to steel attacks, while Himeko resists psychic attacks. Star of this battle will be Himeko's attack Gyro ball. Not only is this a steel type move, it is also stronger the quicker an opponent is. Steelix's speed stat is somewhere around a measily 30, while Mr Mime rocks a speed stat of 90 in general, so this should nicely boost this attack. She might also throw in an Iron tail or two. Due to Himeko being lower in level and only resisting psychic attacks rather than being immune to them, Armin expects her to take more damage than Magellan did. He's still hoping she'll make it through the fight though, but if she goes down, he'll bring out his Incineroar again.

For the third and final fight against Sabrina's Alakazam, Armin will once again bring out his Incineroar. The strategy this time is not going to be very different from his first fight. Magellan will throw in a few ghost licks hoping to paralyse his opponent before switching to his dark typed attacks again. Should he run out of those before the battle is over, he'll switch to a show of force through using his strongest fire attacks.

Armin is hoping these two will be enough to clean up the gym, but he is bringing Amadeus as back-up should it not be enough. Amadeus has a lot of psychic attacks himself which will obviously be useless, so he'll mostly focus on the few flying type attacks he does have.

[greatrage]

Character: Eren Jaeger | greatrage
Badge/Gym Leader: Saffron / Sabrina / Marsh
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here! He'll be challenging the gym with his Alolan Marowak (lv 65), Zoroark (lv 100), and Scizor (lv 100)
Battle Details: Eren, as usual in his gym battles, goes for flashy, strong, supereffective hits. He knows gym leaders are tough, and he doesn't pull any punches. He starts with his marowak to give her some more battle experience, but she's not as strong. She'll likely wipe the floor with Espeon just due to type advantage and strong, unrelenting attacks..

Zoroark will probably come out cloaked as Nidoking, trying to get Sabrina to waste a psychic type attack so he can get off a Nasty Plot, then Night Daze. He'll probably fall to Mr. Mime due to his weakness to fairy. Either Marowak or Scizor will finish it off.

Against Alakazam, Eren unleashes the full fury of MEGA EVOLUTION. He's never used it before, and a battle with a gym leader seems like the best place to do it. Scizor is incredibly focused, bringing strong bug and steel type attacks to bear with impressive speed. Like Eren, Scizor does not toy with his opponents -- if he can knock Alakazam out in one hit, he absolutely will, with no remorse or hesitation. Chill out, scizor. Geez.

Lt. Surge will be deeply moved by Jean's heroic rescue, but like any true patriot, his response will be to clap Jean on the shoulder, gruffly compliment his fighting spirit... and then demand to see it on the battlefield! NICE TRY JEAN...

Eren certainly has the strength to win!

However, Mega Evolution can only be used against Elite Teams, not the regular ones (deets laid out here)! If Eren did try it ICly, the battle would be forfeit-- but if he does not use Mega Evolution, his badge is approved!

[bertall]

Character: Bertolt Hoover | bertall
Badge/Gym Leader: Saffron/Vermillion
Elite/Regular: Regular!
Team: Freja the houndoom, the Slobbercanine, Herja the Pupitar, and Aron for TEAM SUPPORT, Annie the Glaceon, and his Lampent
Battle Details: Seeing as how Freja is his toughest dark type, he is going to rely mainly on her attacks this time around. She'll be opening up with Nasty Plot, Smog until poison is inflicted, and Beat-Up, intent on chipping away and hitting Sabrina's Espeon as hard as possible. Once the Espeon is down, he'll have Freja use Feint Attack on the Mr. Mime before Bertolt swaps her out for Marcel, his Arcanine. At that point, he'll put himself on the defensive with Safeguard and proceed to work on (pun may or may not be intended) burning him down. Extreme Speed will be used almost immediately after Safeguard to give an extra boost, and after that he'll be unleashing Flamethrower and the myriad of other fire moves in his arsenal while weaving Ember between them. If things end up looking dire, he'll try to finish it off with Crunch.

Near the end and on the last fight against her Alakazam, Bertolt is going to send out his Lampent. Even though there is a decent level gap between the two and they both know the little guy will get knocked out, Bertolt is going to do his absolute best to get Curse off before it goes down. If it's able to get a second attack off too, Will-O-Wisp will follow for that nice little burn effect. Once his Lampent goes down, Bertolt will immediately sic Marcel back on it with Retaliate, and then Hyper Beam. Should anything happen to Marcel at this point, he'll take Freja back out and continue hitting Sabrina's Alakazam as hard as possible with her Dark-type moves, and if Freja goes down too, he'll send his Pupitar in to clean up with Payback and Dark Pulse.

His Glaceon is with purely for back-up should everything go completely sour, and his Aron is again, tagging along for moral support and to keep Saffron's trucks safe lest they meet the same fate as Vermillion's.

[notvaljean]

Character: Jean Kirschtein | notvaljean
Badge/Gym Leader: Sabrine for the Marsh Badge in Saffron City!
Elite/Regular: Regulare
Team: Blitz, Polo, Spookycheeks, and Lila

Battle Details: Jean is here with his team of miscreants and ready to take on this gym! He's going to lead with Polo, who will be using his dark attacks and roaring happily about his immunity to psychic attacks. Spookycheeks will be there to support him with her ghosts attacks, as will Lila the Rattata with her dark attacks. Blitz will make an appearance more because he insisted on coming than because he'll actually do much good in this fight, but he might throw out some electric attacks just for the hell of it. But really, Polo will be leading the show, complete with strutting around and flexing his giant bara cat muscles.

[brokencode]

Character: Angel | brokencode
Badge/Gym Leader: Falkner/Zephyr
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here, using specifically Mari, Adorababy, Smoosh and Bailey
Battle Details: Angel only wanted to cheer on her friends! However, after everyone wrapped up, Angel's Mareep decided it was her turn! Backed up by the bulk of the team (with Skagbait staying by Angel's side) and bolstered by Angel's surprised support, Mari will lead the charge with her electric skills!

Also, I wanted to ask a question here if that's okay. Skagbait was gifted to Angel after her friend left the game. She was level 32 at the time. Now that she's even in level with the rest of the team, is she okay to use in gym battles, or should I still go ahead and assume that she's off limits? Thanks!

[greatrage]

OH. WELL. In that case, no mega evolution. |D Sorry about that! TAKES MY FLY HM AND LEAVES

[indigo_league]

NEVER FEAR, YOUNG JAEGER, YOUR TIME TO MEGA-SHINE WILL COME!

gomen 4 the gym murder

[bertall]

Character: Bertolt Hoover | bertall
Badge/Gym Leader: Celadon, Erika
Elite/Regular: Regular!
Team: Arcanine, Glaceon, Houndoom, Aron for Truck Supervision, and Growlithe.
Battle Details: IT'S BUGSY 2.0, FOLKS. Being a Grass-gym, Bertolt won't focus too much on strategizing. His 'strategy' this time around is to, in short, release the hounds. He'll have his Growlithe and Aron watching the fight - again to keep his Aron out of trouble, and to let his Growlithe see just what kind of power her Arcanine-dad hides behind all of that fluff.

Marcel will be his main form of offense, opening up Extreme Speed, then his entire arsenal of fire-type moves (especially Flamethrower). In the rare event that something takes out Marcel, he'll swap him out with his Glaceon, where he'll keep sticking her on the offensive too with ice-type moves and a well-placed Hyper Beam. His Houndoom is tagging along as a last resort, but again, she'll be attacking with primarily her fire-type attacks.

He's so, so sorry, Erika. Can he buy lunch to make up for it?

[schachmeister]

Character: Armin Arlert | schachmeister
Badge/Gym Leader: Erika / Celadon / Rainbow badge
Elite/Regular: Regular team
Team: Magellan the Icineroar (lvl 75), Hannibal the Piloswine (lvl 55), Juniper the Dragalge (lvl 100)
Battle Details:

With Jumpluff’s 4x weakness to ice, of course it’s gotta be Hannibal the Piloswine who starts off this match. Armin is aware of Hannibal’s weakness to grass, but he’s hoping that Jumpluff won’t stand up to Hannibal’s ice attacks for long enough for it to knock him out, especially at Hanniball’s higher level. First, Hannibal will use Mist to prevent Jumpluff from changing his stats. Then Hannibal will start using Icy Fang due to the potential of both making Jumpluff flinch and freezing it. Should he exhaust the move, he’ll switch to using Icy Wind, Blizzard and Powder snow.

At the end of this battle, Armin will switch out Hannibal and bring out Magellan the Incineroar.

(Magellan is totally loving all this gym battling he’s being doing lately)

Anyway, Magellan is a fire/dark type. He resists grass attacks. Tangrowth is a grass type. Tangrowth is weak to fire. The math isn’t too hard. Magellan will come straight out of his pokeball hitting hard and hitting fast. He’ll start with using his new move Torment to limit the moves Tangrowth can use. Armin figures that this way, even if Tangrowth has an attack that does a fair bit of damage to Magellan, it will only be able to use it every other turn. Then, with that done, he’ll start using Flame charge to boost his own speed. After a few of those, he’ll switch to using Fire fang for the chance to both burn and make his opponent flinch. If that ain’t enough, he’s got flamethrower too.

Armin expects Magellan to defeat Tangrowth with little difficulty and he’ll keep him out to face down Bellossom. Like with Tangrowth, Magellan resist grass while Bellossom is weak to fire. Armin will stick to the same strategy as before, focusing on Magellan’s quick hitting fire attacks.

Like before, he’ll bring Juniper along with him just in case (she has several poison attacks), but he thinks Magellan and Hannibal should be enough to clean up this gym.

[notmyrealname]

Character: Cissnei | notmyrealname
Badge/Gym Leader: Cascade
Elite/Regular: Regular Team
Team:
Flux (lv. 69)
Fiend (lv. 49)
Rocket (lv. 65)
Shuriken (lv. 67)

Battle Details:
Cissnei is not really foreseeing any issue with this gym given the advantage she has with Electric and Grass moves.

Flux and Rocket will be leading the fight, utilizing their actual type advantage with Fiend and Shuriken playing back-up when need be. (Fiend having an electric move of it's own and Shuriken having several stat altering moves that will be used to weakened the gym trio down some.)
