Character: Walter Sullivan | 11121_assumption Badge/Gym Leader: Cascade Badge / Misty Elite/Regular: Elite! Team:Reed, Chaos, Robbie, Joseph, Knife, Claudia (all level 100) Battle Details: Despite laying low, Walter wants to be doing something 'productive'. Why not try out his first Elite Challenge, after doing a little bit of investigating and research around town?
With only seven Pokemon at the right level for this challenge, Walter's choices are limited. His first Pokemon out is Reed, to immediately shut down the Quagsire with a sharp Leaf Blade. It'll be his main move used in this battle, and as he's holding a Miracle Seed, he'll hopefully be able to take out the Lanturn as well, and possible more members of Misty's team before falling. Against the Milotic Walter will tell Reed to use Leaf Storm as it's more powerful, but only once due to it's stat reductions. When getting low on health, Reed will use Synthesis to recover. It's only when faced with the Lapras that Reed will retreat, using U-Turn to get some damage in before returning.
Against the Lapras (if Reed successfully held the field and U-Turned out), Walter will send out Robbie and have him use Superpower; this is Robbie's key moment in the battle, to break through the ice. If it lives, Walter will order Robbie to use Iron Head to finish it.
With the Milotic, Walter will have Robbie use Swords Dance to regain some of his power, before having him go all out with Thrash.
He doesn't foresee Robbie lasting long against the Starmie or being effective against it, so will instead have Robbie use Leer to lower the Starmie's defense before he faints. Once he's down, Walter will send out Joseph. Joseph has a Life Orb on him, so this is going to hurt...for everyone. He'll be using Hone Claws to up his power and accuracy, before using Night Slash for maximum damage. With his speed, Walter doesn't think Starmie will be able to knock him out before Joseph takes him out. On the offchance Starmie has spammed evasion rising moves, then Joseph will use Feint Attack for a blow that will definitely land (albeit at the cost of power). If Joseph is knocked out, Walter has a back-up plan in Knife. Knife also has Night Slash and Feint Attack meaning it never ends.
Should Reed faint before the Lapras is summoned, Walter will switch in Chaos. Her fierce Discharge and Wild Charges should give her an advantage in this battle, especially once she's set up an Electric Terrian - although if faced by the Lanturn, Walter will call on her to use Return and Throat Chop instead. Against the Lapras and other members of Misty's team, Chaos will continue to use her electrical attacks but has no means to recover her health, so will likely faint if called out early in the battle.
If Robbie failed to take out th Miltoic, then Reed or Chaos (depending on who is still standing) will be sent out to finish it off. Reed will use Leaf Storm to try and take it out quick, following up with a Leaf Blade. Since he'd be out against the Starmie, Reed would immediately use Phantom Force, followed by Spirit Shackles or a Shadow Sneak, depending on how fast Reed is against the Starmie. Chaos would use Wild Charge and Spark against he Milotic, continuing with her reckless battling style against the Starmie. Should either faint, then Walter returns to the original plan and sends out Joseph.
Claudia is a reserve; her go-to attack will be Dazzling Gleam against most of the water types, with Dark Pulse saved for the Starmie. She'll also be using Confuse Ray to hinder her foes.
