Battle Details: Against Skarmory, Penny's going to start off with her Klefki - opening up with Imprison to block Skarmory from using their shared status moves, then layering on Metal Sound and Spikes, alternating between them until they've been used three times each, if possible. At this point she’ll use Heal Block before switching out for her Magneton; it's underleveled, but Penny is counting on Skarmory being able to deal neutral damage at best. Magneton will use Thunder Wave, Electric Terrain if possible (if Skarmory’s initial attack was either a non-damaging move or didn't do much damage), and then spam Thunder Shock until either Skarmory faints or Magneton is too hurt to continue safely battling.
Jasmine’s Magneton and Steelix will be met with Penny’s two Aegislash, using Rock Smash and Sacred Sword. The lack of Pokémon following Steelix will be met with mild surprise and disappointment.
Metagross and Aggron will be held in reserve in case any of the above tactics go badly, and will use any super-effective moves available if called in.
Battle Details: Gyarados will get sent out first against Hitmonlee, setting up a couple Dragon Dances and then using Ice Fang, Aqua Tail, or Strength. Hitmonchan will be met with Gligar, who’ll use Sand Attack at least once before using Sky Uppercut and Acrobatics, using U-Turn to retreat and send out Charizard if necessary. Penny will at least attempt to use Charizard against Poliwrath, hoping for superior speed and high damage from Air Slash. Failing that, Penny will send out Aegislash and use Aerial Ace. Galvantula and Florges are emergency fallbacks.
