Character: Narancia Ghirga | orangesmith Badge/Gym Leader: Janine | Soul Elite/Regular: Regular Team:Mr. Smith, Tartufo, Volare, Bacca, Sciroppo Battle Details: Narancia's been prepping for the upcoming tournament, and is taking a break by...pursuing some badges. Wish him luck!
VS Crobat:
Narancia opens with Bacca the Pincurchin, hoping to take advantage of her type advantage and level difference. His tactic is...pretty much the same as always, with the notable tweak that he uses his first turn to have Bacca use Charge to power up her next move: Zing Zap. He then launches into his normal Zing Zap spam, with Recover peppered in as needed. If Bacca is confused or knocked out, then he'll switch to Mr. Smith and have him use Drill Peck to deal with the Crobat in an air battle. If the Crobat manages to trap Bacca with Mean Look and confuses her, then Narancia will just have to hope Bacca can snap out of the confusion and finish the fight. Hopefully Bacca can score some flinches with Zing Zap...
VS Ariados:
Narancia will send in Volare the Houndoom to deal with the Ariados. And his tactic is...Flamethrower spam. Obviously this is going to probably not be enough, so if Volare gets poisoned or knocked out, or if the Ariados knows Dig, then he'll switch to Mr. Smith to take advantage of his immunity to being poisoned and type advantage with Drill Peck. If Drill Peck runs out (could be possible if Mr. Smith also chipped in against the Crobat), then Mr. Smith will switch to Air Slash.
VS Venomoth:
Yeah, uh. Narancia's just sending in Sciroppo the (very overleveled) Heracross here. Any attempt at inflicting a status condition on Sciroppo will boost her attack stat via Guts, and she has a super effective move in Rock Slide, which she will spam. If the Venomoth knows any Flying type moves, then Narancia will switch to Tartufo the Dragapult and have him use Dragon Dance followed by Dragon Darts as a cleanup effort. If Sciroppo is getting low on health, then Narancia will have her use Thrash as a last ditch effort, then switch in Tartufo for Dragon Dance + Dragon Darts spam as described above.

VS Espeon:
Narancia is going to open with Volare the Houndoom, who is immune to Psychic attacks due to being a Dark type. Volare's ability to resist much of Espeon's moveset means that the Houndoom should have comparatively free rein to spam Crunch. If Volare is knocked out, then Narancia will switch to Mr. Smith and have him clean up with Night Slash.
VS Mr. Mime
If Mr. Smith isn't already out, then he's coming out for this one. Mr. Mime's Fairy type makes it weak to Steel attacks, meaning Mr. Smith is going to make heavy use of Steel Wing here. If Mr. Smith is getting low on health, or the Mr. Mime knows a supereffective move, then Narancia will either switch back to Volare for Flamethrower spam if Volare is still in good shape, or Bacca for Charge + Zing Zap spam if Volare is low health/knocked out.
VS Alakazam
Narancia's pulling out the big guns for this one! The big guns, of course, being Tartufo the Dragapult. Narancia will have the Dragapult warm up with Dragon Dance, then try to start up some Dragon Darts spam. If Dragon Darts runs out of PP or gets Disabled, then Narancia, thinking on the fly, will have Tartufo use Lock-On followed by Dragon Rush for a guaranteed hit from the normally 75% accurate move.
If Tartufo starts running low on health, then Narancia will have him U-Turn out into Sciroppo, who will just immediately use Megahorn. If Megahorn misses, then she still knows Night Slash as a backup option for cleanup.
