Character: Scoepia | braveloyalhugs Badge/Gym Leader: Falkner, Sephyr Elite/Regular: REGULAR TEAM Team:LINK TO POKEMON ROSTER Blackie (Boltund), Emily (Drapion), little Frosta (Eiscue), Millie (Miltank) all level 56 Battle Details: Scorpia's brought only four Pokemon to this match, mostly because she feels kind of bad that her team got really over-leveled before she had free time to get to Violet. She brings a collection of potions and at least one healing item per status effect but not much else.
Vs. Noctowl, Honchkrow, Pidgeot And really, her strategy for the birds is exactly the same for each one: --Emily is setup, here to hit the bird with Toxic, Venoshock, and then leave the field for Blackie, who's the star of the team today. --Blackie is here to play, by which we mean, Electric Terrain, Charge, Wild Charge and then Charge+Spark combos while she runs around like the hyperactive dog she is. --if Blackie needs a break, little Frosta is here to set up Hail and then Freeze Dry the poor poisoned and lightning-struck birds out of the sky. --if both Blackie and Frosta are tired out, Millie comes in to Defense Curl, Rollout up the walls, and then finish things off with some Thunder Punches. --and if somehow the whole rest of the team is exhausted (most likely cause is that Scorpia doesn't have any PP restoring items and Roost is a thing) Emily will come back in and Thunder Fang and/or Venoshock the poor poisoned, shocked, iced and then rocked birds into a faint.

She has brought so many Awakenings in addition to her potions and such.
Vs. Haunter --Scorpia knows that poison doesn't work well on ghosts, so instead of her usual set-up Pokemon, she sends in little Perfuma: Grassy Terrain to give her team a healing boost until it fades, Sleep Powder, and then a Petal Blizzard --Emily comes in, Hone Claws, and then Crunch away! If she needs a Potion or Awakening she'll switch out for a while. --little Kyle comes in to Screech, Taunt (if the target is awake), and Bite until he's getting low on health or statused, then he'll take his turn getting some healing. --If Haunter is still around, Emily will come back in with Hone Claws and Crunch. --if Emily needs to be spelled a second time, Millie will come in and Zen Headbutt away, with Heal Bell and Milk Drink to keep her in longer. She's only switching back out in the case of Sleep or Haunter fainting, really.
Vs. Misdreavus --little Perfuma comes back in to set up her Grassy Terrain and Sleep Powder! Then she'll Petal Blizzard and Giga Drain until Grassy Terrain fades. If Misdreavus tries to Mean Look or Perish Song her, she'll just hit with Sleep Powder again until it sticks (Mean Look only) and continue her grass assault with fresh Grassy Terrain and Petal Blizzards and Giga Drains. (and continue with the same with Gengar until she faints) --Assuming little Perfuma switches out, Emily has been healed up completely during the longer break, and is back in to Taunt, Hone Claws and Crunch with a few Night Slashes to hopefully make use of her Sniper ability. If Emily needs items, or is hit with Perish Song because Taunt wore off at a bad time, she'll switch out. --if Emily needs to switch out, Blackie comes in to Nuzzle, Bite and Crunch, all the while running around like the little bottomless fount of energy she is. Should she get tired before Misdreavus goes down, she'll be called to switch out. --Emily will come back in after Blackie does her thing, if she is able to, and repeat her above strategy. --if Emily can't do her thing or needs to be spelled a second time, little Kyle will come back in to do his thing with Taunt, and Bite --if Misdreavus is somehow still not fainted, Millie will use the tried and true Defense Curl + Rollout Combo.
Vs. Gengar --little Perfuma is probably exhausted by this point, if not fainted, so when Scorpia reaches back for another Pokeball, does she have a backup setup Pokemon? Nope. It's little Rogelio the Donphan, ready to take full advantage of Gengar's vulnerability to ground. Is this a possible oops because some previous generation older Gengar were able to levitate? Yeah, but if it's not an oops, Rogelio will pulverise Gengar with STAB Bulldoze and Earthquake and Magnitude if necessary. --if Gengar has Levitate: obviously the first ground move will fail miserably, so Rogelio will switch to Knock Off and Assurance (which is also on tap if Cursed Body and Spite take away his PP for ground moves) --while Rogelio is battling, Millie is being healed. If Levitate is a thing, she'll just go the old Defense Curl and Rollout, but otherwise it's Defense Curl and High Horsepower. (definitely with a bit of Heal Bell and Milk Drink in there) --if those two aren't enough to take Gengar down, any of Scorpia's non-fainted Pokemon will hop back in with their previous strategies. If they're out of PP for the super effective moves, Emily will switch to Thunder Fang (followed by the other two Fang moves), Kyle will switch to Power Gem, and Blackie will switch to her STAB electric moves and Electric Terrain.
