Character: Shiro | shiro2hero Badge/Gym Leader: Volcano Badge / Blaine Elite/Regular: Regular Team:The Gang Battle Details: Okay, here's where the strategy of "use the type advantage" sort of falls apart. Because guess who does not have a water pokemon on his main set? This guy. So after way too long on Cinnabar Island, way too long strategizing, he finally goes to face the gym. With a secret weapon he's hoping will work.
He'll start out the fight with his Gengar, and the trusty old Hypnosis/Confusion routine. That usually works pretty well. Following that up with Marowak. Using ground/rock type moves on the fire pokemon. If Marowak ends up fainting, he brings his Gallade out, for some Reflect/Light Screen.
But only that.
Because the next pokemon he uses, with all else failing, is... a Spheal. A Spheal with Surf, Water Pulse, and a level 100. Europa the Spheal is the last bet, last stand pokemon - and one he kind of hopes will surprise the opponent into dropping their guard a little so she can wash out the competition.
