With Jumpluff’s 4x weakness to ice, of course it’s gotta be Hannibal the Piloswine who starts off this match. Armin is aware of Hannibal’s weakness to grass, but he’s hoping that Jumpluff won’t stand up to Hannibal’s ice attacks for long enough for it to knock him out, especially at Hanniball’s higher level. First, Hannibal will use Mist to prevent Jumpluff from changing his stats. Then Hannibal will start using Icy Fang due to the potential of both making Jumpluff flinch and freezing it. Should he exhaust the move, he’ll switch to using Icy Wind, Blizzard and Powder snow.
At the end of this battle, Armin will switch out Hannibal and bring out Magellan the Incineroar.
(Magellan is totally loving all this gym battling he’s being doing lately)
Anyway, Magellan is a fire/dark type. He resists grass attacks. Tangrowth is a grass type. Tangrowth is weak to fire. The math isn’t too hard. Magellan will come straight out of his pokeball hitting hard and hitting fast. He’ll start with using his new move Torment to limit the moves Tangrowth can use. Armin figures that this way, even if Tangrowth has an attack that does a fair bit of damage to Magellan, it will only be able to use it every other turn. Then, with that done, he’ll start using Flame charge to boost his own speed. After a few of those, he’ll switch to using Fire fang for the chance to both burn and make his opponent flinch. If that ain’t enough, he’s got flamethrower too.
Armin expects Magellan to defeat Tangrowth with little difficulty and he’ll keep him out to face down Bellossom. Like with Tangrowth, Magellan resist grass while Bellossom is weak to fire. Armin will stick to the same strategy as before, focusing on Magellan’s quick hitting fire attacks.
Like before, he’ll bring Juniper along with him just in case (she has several poison attacks), but he thinks Magellan and Hannibal should be enough to clean up this gym.
