Character: Seto Kaiba | blue_ice Badge/Gym Leader: Bugsy for the Hive Badge Elite/Regular: Regular Team:The Squad Battle Details:
Bugsy's entire team is weak to Fire, with an impressive 4x weakness on Scizor. Surely the smart move here is to attempt a steamroll with a very overleveled Rapidash, right? Well, he could. And that's plan B. But Kaiba's first going to try to let some other team members get a shot in the spotlight. Unfortunately for him, Pinsir and Heracross both have fighting moves, so letting the appropriately leveled Eevee try is right out, and King should probably sit this out too. That brings us to the other four:
vs. Pinsir First up is Mizuchi the Kingdra (74). Her standard strategy is Rain Dance (to activate Swift Swim), then hitting hard with Bubble Beam and Dragon Pulse. If Kaiba senses he could lose the DPS race, he'll use Yawn and hopefully put it to sleep in time.
vs. Heracross It's time for a bug mirror match! Kaiba sends out Mothra the Mothim (70) for that sweet double resistance to Fighting, and to show off his shiny bug to the bug gym. Just for fun. He goes for the standard strategy: Quiver Dance, then hit that 4x flying weakness with Air Slash, using Roost to recover if necessary. He's careful to avoid using physical attacks, can't risk a Counter.
vs. Scizor Kaiba's saving Zephyra the Rapidash (95) for Scizor: her 4x advantage is best used here. She opens with Fire Spin to start the chip damage before Scizor can start evading with Double Team, then starts blasting away with Flame Wheel. He can't risk the higher-power but lower-accuracy fire moves with Scizor's evasion.
Backup: Leizi the Alolan Raichu is sitting on the backup bench for this battle. If she's called on, she'll use Reflect to blunt the deluge of physical attacks, then Nuzzle for paralysis, and start zapping away with Thunderbolt, but she'll use Psychic if up against Heracross. Or he could just bring out Zephyra early and use Flame Wheel, but that's not fun, right?
