Character: Narancia Ghirga | orangesmith Badge/Gym Leader: Blue | Earth Badge Elite/Regular: Regular Team:Volare, Tartufo, Liquirizia, Lattuga, Bacca, Broccole Battle Details: Well, last of the Kanto badges for Narancia! Time to pull out the stops because he's gonna have to be careful against Blue's full team of six.
VS Exeggutor
Narancia's opening with Lattuga so that the Aerodactyl can lay down some Stealth Rocks for some free damage against Blue's switch ins, and then will immediately switch into Liquirizia and sets up with Nasty Plot before going into Dark Pulse until the Exeggutor goes down.
VS Machamp
Narancia's still got a Murkrow hopped up on that Nasty Plot stat boost out, so he's going to just go ahead and have Liquirizia use Air Slash until the Machamp drops. There's nothing complicated here.
VS Rhydon
Okay, now he has to switch. Narancia will send in Broccole the Eldegoss in attempt to keep up the type advantage, and decides to open with Cotton Guard for extra defense before using Leaf Storm. A perfect plan, if it weren't for the fact that Rhydon can learn Megahorn. In the event this Rhydon uses Megahorn before he's done with getting Cotton Guard set up, he's going to switch straight to Tartufo and just have the Dragapult use Shadow Ball.
At least he doesn't have to worry about Horn Drill since OHKO moves can't hit higher level Pokémon at all.
VS Gyarados
Switching again, this time to Bacca. Narancia's going to try out a neat trick he's been sitting on ever since the tournament and set up with Electric Terrain before having his Pincurchin use Rising Voltage, a move that goes from 70 to 140 power on Electric Terrain. Hopefully, this'll fry the Gyarados because this Pincurchin is the best thing he's got against it.
VS Pidgeot
He's going to try to go for the Rising Voltage strat again, but if the bird uses Whirlwind then Narancia will just try and go with whoever gets sent out. Volare and Liquirizia both have Taunt to stop any further Whirlwind attempts and Dark Pulse for damage, Lattuga has Rock Slide, Tartufo has Dragon Darts, and Broccole...is going to be kept well away from that Pidgeot due to the Eldegoss's grass type and likely damage from the earlier Rhydon fight.
VS Arcanine
Narancia's going to end this with Lattuga. He'll just go straight for Rock Slide, assuming that this'll be an easy win for his Aerodactyl.
If things get really hairy at any point, then Narancia will just send in Tartufo, set up with Dragon Dance, then start spamming Dragon Darts and Phantom Force as needed.
