Backdated to just before the gym rally!

Character: Ryou Bakura | [personal profile] rolltoavoidpossession
Badge/Gym Leader: Pryce | Glacier Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Change of Heart, Silver Fang, Anubis
Battle Details: This one actually presents a little bit of a challenge since many of Ryou's higher level Pokémon have weaknesses to Ice, Water, or Ground. He could just bring a few level 100s, but he doesn't think that's fair (and he doesn't have enough level 100s to build a full team/face Pryce's elite team yet anyways), so he ended up having to train a few new Pokémon for this.

VS Dewgong

Ryou will open with Change of Heart the Morpeko, who will open immediately with Aura Wheel to take advantage of Aura Wheel being Electric Type depending on Morpeko's form and the Speed boost granted by the move. From there, it depends on Change of Heart's current form; Spark if the Morpeko is in Hangry Mode and Aura Wheel if in Full Belly Mode. If Change of Heart gets a little too beat up, he'll switch to Silver Fang and have the Furfrou use Headbutt to finish up.

VS Lapras

What happens here depends on who's out. If Change of Heart is still out, then Ryou will keep going with the Spark/Aura Wheel combo. If Silver Fang is already out, or Change of Heart gets too beat up to continue, then Silver Fang will open up with one Sand Attack before using Headbutt for damage and the flinch chance.

Both Change of Heart and Silver Fang have Persim Berries in case of confusion (Anubis would have one too but he loves his Soothe Bell too much to let Ryou take it away even short term), and if the Lapras gets off either Sing or Perish Song, then Ryou will switch; to Silver Fang if Change of Heart is the one out or to Anubis if Silver Fang is the one out. If Anubis is switched in, then the Riolu will use Swords Dance once, followed by Force Palm.

VS Mamoswine

If Anubis isn't already out at this point, then he'll be brought out to face the Mamoswine. Anubis will open with Swords Dance if he hasn't already used the move, followed by Force Palm. If Anubis starts getting low on health, then Ryou will instead have the Riolu use Reversal in an attempt to finish things fast, especially if Silver Fang is too low heath to come back in.

With luck, he'll win this!
