Battle Details: Viridian City is where the best fighters are. And so, Minfilia knows she'll be fighting for the best.
It may seem odd, then, that she's leading with her Audino. And not Mega Evolving right away...? It's because Minfilia wants to see how Blue reacts. It's clear that they have a Mega Stone.
So, Minfilia will see if Blue will take the bait... by going for Misty Terrain. If Venusaur stays in, she'll switch to Psyshock.
But, if not? Minfilia will switch up moves. She predicts that Tyranitar would be switched in, thus she'd switch to Dazzling Gleam. Blastoise gets Thunderbolt, Charizard gets Surf, Pidgeot gets Thunderbolt as well, and Jolteon gets Hyper Voice. Either way, she will let Rose fight until she's at half HP, before switching her out depending on the opponent, to let Rose heal. -- For Blastoise, Minfilia has Thancred. Minfilia feels she needs to use her dear Pachirisu to take on Blue, as a promise. He's empty-handed. And ready to Nuzzle. If Blastoise is female, Attract is on the table - but if not, it's time for Electro Ball. (Discharge may do similar damage, but Electro Ball hits better.) He'll also go for a cheeky Sweet Kiss now and again. If Thancred is in against Tyranitar, Charizard or Pidgeot, he'll be going for Nuzzle as well. And depending on the Pokemon, Discharge (Charizard, Pidgeot) or Seed Bomb (Tyranitar). Venusaur? Also Discharge. -- For Charizard, Minfilia has Moenbryda. And first of all, Moenbryda will use Block. Either this'll trap Charizard in, or it'll trap somebody else in. We'll begin with the Charizard situation. Screech, and then Rock Slide and Aqua Tail alternating. If Moenbryda is burned, then Facade. Meanwhile, if she's trapped another? Same strat. Screech, and then a damaging move. And Facade for the times status changes things. (Tyranitar instead gets Whirlpool and Surf, no Screech.) -- For Tyranitar, Minfilia has Berry. And only for Tyranitar. Why? Because Minfilia wants to show her resolve. AKA... If Misty Terrain is already up... (if it's not, Berry will set it up...)
Misty Explosion. Yeah. Minfilia sees Tyranitar as the biggest threat to her team. (Berry has agreed to this plan.) -- For Jolteon, Minfilia has Warburton. If Jolteon has Magnet Rise or an Air Balloon, Warburton will go for Feint Attack (to burst the balloon) and Boomburst. But, if not? Sand Tomb, and then Earthquake. Warburton is also backup for Tyranitar, due to. Trapping with Sand Tomb, and then Earthquake or Superpower as a last resort. Venusaur and Blastoise are also part of this. Charizard and Pidgeot would get hit by Rock Slide instead. -- For Pidgeot, Minfilia has a combination. Alisaie the Meowstic will be going for Fake Out (of course), Gravity to prevent Roost, and then Reflect. After that combo and protecting herself a little, the Meowstic will be going for a single Nasty Plot, and then Psychic. Not even a super effective move...? No, Psychic is stronger. If it feels like Alisaie is about to faint, she'll switch to Sucker Punch. If Alisaie is still all set up against Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard, or Jolteon, Psychic is what she'll use. Tyranitar gets Magical Leaf instead.
Battle Details: Now, Minfilia knows that Brock is usually the first. Perhaps that is why she chose to go to him last? Or perhaps she was Leery over his... flirtations.
But she has a plan. That plan?
It begins with the one, the only... Cucumber! Said Mamoswine will be using Hail to set up the snow (and remove any Sandstorm), before using Stealth Rock and Blizzard. Break sashes/Sturdy, and then go for the chill. If Cucumber seems close to fainting, he'll be using Ice Shard. -- After Cucumber faints - if Kabutops or Omastar are out - well. Wally the Abomasnow comes on out. The Abomasnow has a Focus Sash, because Minfilia has a plan against the combo.
His plan is Wood Hammer. Yup, that's it. At least one of the Water/Rock-types should have fainted from that. -- Now, it worked well against Blaine. So she's going for it again!
Moenbryda is Choice Band'd. She is still defensive, due to being trained that way. She's here for Earthquake, and Earthquake alone. Minfilia hopes that Moenbryda can fight Rampardos or Golem. -- Meanwhile, Moenbroda is Choice Scarf'd. She is there for Aqua Tail. Yes, two Feraligatr! Honestly, Minfilia wanted to see how fun it'd be to use two of the same Pokemon, in similar but different roles. -- Now, a lot of this is things Minfilia has done before. A single overpowered move. Weather to remove enemies weather. But she's using a Pokemon she hasn't used before in gyms next - Bunny the Cinccino! First of all, Bunny is able to use Sunny Day to remove Sandstorm or Rain Dance. And then... Bullet Seed. Technician Bullet Seed. If the enemy Pokemon sets up, Encore to trap them in a non-damaging move. And then more Bullet Seed. -- And now, back to her starter. Always, her starter. Well, mostly. Rose will Mega Evolve right away, use Entrainment to get rid of any good ability, and then go for Ice Beam, Grass Knot, and the such... you know. Special attacks, for a special Audino. If Minfilia feels that it's coming down to chip damage, well. Rose can outlast, using Life Dew.
If it seems that they're down to the wire, Minfilia does have One More Plan. And that is... Simple and Baby-Doll Eyes. Because, once again, most of the threat is from the physical side.
