Character: Louie Duck | talkyourwayout Badge/Gym Leader: Plain Badge/Whitney Elite/Regular: Regular Team:On-hand team, though note Louie will only be using Crown and Topaz, unless both of those Pokemon faint. Battle Details: Initially Louie was unsure about this battle, having heard from Armin that Whitney is a tough one. Further research, however, has him feeling more prepared and abandoning his initial plan to train for this battle all winter. He's feeling confident in the strategies he's cooked up!
Louie will start with Topaz the Scrafty to take on Girafarig with STAB Crunch, although if Whitney switches to Clefable immediately to counter Topaz's typing, or just starts with Clefable, Louie won't hesitate to switch out to Crown the Roserade. The strategy with Crown is to set up Leech Seed and then a single layer of Toxic Spikes. After that, Toxic to badly poison Clefable itself, and then Giga Drain and Venoshock - thanks to a reusable TM from Arceus - alternating between the two moves in that order.
Whenever Miltank comes out, that's Topaz's time, since he resists Rollout and its Rock typing. Brick Break to lower Miltank's defense, then Low Kick for further damage against the heavy opposing Pokemon.
