Character: Jane Crocker | cyan_maid Badge/Gym Leader: Blaine for the Volcano Badge Elite/Regular: ELITE TEAM Team:Dinah, Marnie, August, Bettina, Madeline, and Deva (all lv 100) Battle Details: Blaine is Jane's last badge, and boy, he's got a big storm comin'.
She's not pulling any punches by leading with Marnie the Seaking - Water Veil keeps her from being burned, and tossing up Aqua Ring at the start is an easy slow HP restore as she unleashes Water Pulse, Waterfall, and Surf on her opponents. If she goes down, Madeline the Primarina comes out with Sparkling Aria, Hydro Pump, and Surf to keep up the assault, and Jane is hoping that their combined efforts will be enough to take down Blaine's more defensively sturdy Pokemon like Torkoal, Camerupt, and Magcargo.
Still, she's not going to push them too far, since Pokemon all have their limits.
Houndoom will meet Bettina the Crobat in the pit, and Jane is going to rely on Bettina's speed to get Houndoom poisoned via Poison Fang, and then worn down via Venoshock, which gets a power boost when the opponent is poisoned. Magmortar are known for generally lesser base Defense stats than their Special Defense, so to counter it, Jane will bring out Dinah to push Power-Up Punch, boosting her own Attack stat, and Refresh if she takes on a burn.
As for Rapidash, Jane will lead with August the Delphox, who should be able to tank Rapidash's Fire attacks with ease while dealing out Psychic and Psybeam. If he's about to go down, he'll let out a Future Sight attack and let Deva the Indeedee tap in, and she'll toss up Psychic Terrain and Calm Mind before unleashing Psychic and Psybeam on her own. This is hopefully just enough to get the edge over Blaine.
