Character: Eda Clawthorne | mamalike Badge/Gym Leader: Whitney, Plain Badge Elite/Regular: Regular Team:Roster Battle Details: Eda heard Whitney provides a pretty big challenge, especially as a first gym. So did she do research...? Well, some! She read up on some general information for the Pokemon Whitney uses before she decided just training hard and going for it was the way to go. There may have been an exclamation of "Who am I, Lilith?!"
While her two Meowstic will also be on-hand, Eda will mainly use four Pokemon: Queenie the Noivern, Carver the Sylveon, Grudgby the Cinderace, and especially Hooty the Flamigo. The idea is for this to be his time to show his stuff!
Still, first out is Carver so he can set up Misty Terrain. Eda has no patience for status conditions. Carver will stay in (and come in again at times) to use Sand Attack - evasion boosts are a favorite tactic here - and Hooty will not be used against Girafarig. Against that Pokemon, Eda will use Queenie, setting up with Double Team and hitting hard with Dragon Pusle and Air Slash as the go-tos.
When Hooty does get to battle, Eda will not hesitate to use Detect to keep him going longer, though his main attack will be Low Kick, especially if he gets to face off with Miltank. That said, Hooty is underleveled and while he has a ton of will to fight, he's not bright, which means he relies on his trainer to be quick with directions when things get rough. In other words, his instincts are lacking. As such, there's a good chance Eda will have to switch to Grudgby.
Grudgby has the Libero ability, so he'll go heavy on Double Kick to keep that Physical typing against Miltank. Eda will need to realize during battle that Clefable has the fairy typing that is a major weakness to a lot of her team... At that point, Grudgby will get in powerful fire attacks as long as he can, mixed in with Bounce to avoid some hits should things get rough. Also against Clefable, Carver will be brought in if needed, to set up Light Screen and Sand Attack, and then hit the opponent with a barrage of Quick Attack and Swift attacks.
Overall, Eda's approaching this with determination and drive, and a lot of heartfelt desire for her Pokemon to succeed for their own sakes and pride, but her information on Whitney's specific Pokemon is limited.
