Character: Millennial Tree Cookie | purifyingroots Badge/Gym Leader: Hive Badge, from Bugsy! Elite/Regular: Regular Team:Bitingbird the Toucannon, Flame Pup the Arcanine, Puddleskipper the Masquerain, Rambling Raccoon the Linoone, Thunder Cub the Luxray, and Singing Bell the Chingling Battle Details: So, first off, apologies to Bugsy, because Millennial Tree Cookie forgot to do this for a while and now most of his Pokemon are… pretty overleveled. Having finally learned about type advantages, he’ll have Bitingbird open with Beak Blast. He’ll repeat Beak Blast one more time, and, if Pinsir is still up and Bitingbird is still in good shape after that, he’ll start focusing on Drill Peck to take it down. If Bitingbird faints or gets dangerously low on health, he’ll switch for Flame Pup; if Bitingbird takes Pinsir down with enough hit points remaining, he’ll use the first turn against Heracross to use Supersonic in one turn and then Drill Peck in another before withdrawing.
Flame Pup will start with Fire Fang, and follow with Flamethrower; he will repeat Flamethrower until either his or Heracross’s health gets low. If Heracross’s health gets low and he feels like Flamethrower would be overkill (like, say, if Heracross Endures a hit that would have been a KO otherwise), he’ll switch to Ember; alternately, if Flame Pup’s health gets low, he’ll switch to Puddleskipper.
Assuming Flame Pup is still good to go by the time Scizor comes out, he’ll hit Scizor with either Flare Blitz or Fire Fang (depending on whether Millennial Tree Cookie feels that Flame Pup can handle the recoil from Flare Blitz), and then - once again - Flamethrower, and just, really try to leverage that type advantage.
If he does end up switching to Puddleskipper, well… that he’s not as sure what to do about that, given that he didn’t really plan to account for Scizor’s Steel typing in this instance. So he’ll just try and make do by starting with Stun Spore and then getting in as much damage as he can with Air Slash and Quick Attack.
With Rambling Raccoon, Thunder Cub, and Singing Bell pretty much present as backup, if they do have to get involved, MT will pretty much just try and brute-force it with continued damaging moves and hope for the best based on their high levels - specifically, Headbutt from Rambling Raccoon, Spark from Thunder Cub, and Confusion from Singing Bell.
