Character: Joey Wheeler | infernofireblast Badge/Gym Leader: Plain/Whitney Elite/Regular: Regular Team:"Charizard - LV100", "Dragonite - LV100", "Bisharp - LV100" , "Ceruledge - LV76", "Feraligatr - LV100", "Wailord - LV100" Battle Details: Whitney makes use of a lot of tanky Pokemon, drawing from Normal and Fairy typings, but Joey is well-prepared for going up against a matchup like that. If Whitney opens with either of her normal-type Pokemon Joey will begin with his Ceruledge, “Gearfried”, who is immune to both Normal and Fighting-type moves. Though Ceruledge doesn’t possess any moves that are super-effective against Normal-Types his ability, “Flash Fire”, gives him a significant boost towards fire type attacks. On top of being immune to Fire Damage, the ability increases the damage of all Fire-Type moves the wielder puts-out by 50%. provided that they’ve been on the receiving end of Fire Damage. By starting off with Swords Dance and then following it with Flare Blitz you put out a strong move with a 1/10 chance of inflicting burn while also meeting the ability’s requirements for fire damage. Though the ability itself renders Ceruledge immune to its own recoil the resultant boost still means that, by spamming Bitter Blade from that point on, he can put out consistently excellent damage due to all his buffs. This also renders him largely immune to all damages outside of one-hit ko moves and statuses due to it taking 50% of the massive damage it outputs and returning it to Ceruledge as a heal. In the event that, despite being immune to the Pokémon's two primary means of damage output, they succeed in doing significant damage Joey would be quick to apply Hyper Potions or Full Restores.
If Whitney switched out to or, instead, began with Clefable rather than either of her two Normal-Type Pokémon Joey would answer by putting-out his Wailord, “Fortress Whale”. Though neither the Clefable nor the Wailord has advantageous typing against the other the both are tanky Pokémon with large arsenals of HP. The difference comes in the level gap, as Wailord far outstrips Clefable in terms of level and also weighs-in as a far larger and heavier Pokémon as well, meaning that the Steel-Type move Heavy Slam would perfectly suit its needs as an anti-Fairy move. Though Wailord is far more optimized for using Special Attacks than Physical Attacks the base power of Heavy Slam is entirely dependent on the difference in weight between the user and the target, meaning that with the Super-Effectiveness already present in the move its well-suited to being wielded as a Clefable killer. In what would essentially boil down to an exchange or artillery between the the two tanks Joey would stand fully ready to re-up Fortress Whale’s health pool with Hyper Potions and Full Restores.
In the event that Whitney changed-out at any point during the fight Joey would match the switch with the corresponding strategy for whatever Pokémon she selected. Should, somehow, either or both Pokémon be taken out Joey would still have 4 other LV100 Pokémon with selections of moves that can do plentiful damage as well as more than enough raw firepower to put the Gym Leader’s Team down for the count.

Bisharp in particular holds a typing and moveset that allows for significant damage to any Ghost-Type Pokémon. Beginning with a Swords Dance, Bisharp would then focus on making use of Knock-Off to do hard-hitting damage while removing his opponent’s Held Items and a mixture of Sucker Punch and Night Slash to do yet more super-effective Dark Damage. Bisharp’s Dark typing would make it resistant to any Ghost Type moves Morty’s team puts out, while his own held item, Black Glasses, would compliment his Adamant nature to put out a powerful stream of damage. In the event that his health dropped too low Joey would, as usual, be quick to make use of Hyper Potions and Full Restores.
In the event that Bisharp was knocked-out Joey would follow with his Ceruledge. Though the Ghost-to-Ghost face-off would mean it was a race to see who could put out more super-effective moves than the other the level gap would ensure that the scales would be skewed heavily in Joey’s favor. Swords Dance would put the attack even more in his favor, and Shadow Claw and Shadow Sneak would allow Ceruledge to both hit hard and hit first. In a battle of super-effectiveness this is very important and, so, goes a long way towards making sure Ceruledge comes out on-top. In the event his health started to go south, though, Hyper Potions and Full Restores stand ready as always.
In the event that both Bisharp and Ceruledge were taken out Joey’s Feraligatr, “Alligator’s Sword”, would step-in to pick-up the slack. The combination of his Life-Orb held item and the fact that he possessed his secret ability of Sheer Power meant that any damaging move he put-out was almost double in terms of damage, all the while canceling out the Orb’s normal recoil and making it an entirely win-win situation for Joey. Dragon Dance only adds to the power that Feraligatr brings to bear, and his main spammable move of Bite not only possesses typing that makes it super-effective but has a 3/10 chance of making its target flinch. Each hit then will hold the chance to nearly one-hit KO the opposing Pokémon and all but ensure the final nail is hammered into Morty’s coffin. If the giant reptile’s health fell low Joey would pick it back up with Hyper Potions and Full Restores.
Should the three aforementioned Pokémon somehow not be up to the task of putting Morty’s team down 3 more LV100 Pokémon wait in the wings, all with moves and strategies that are fully capable of turning-up the pain on their opposition.
