Badge Requests

What does it take? It changes for each gym! Normally, the games increase in difficulty as you progress, but that wouldn't be any fun if characters could just as easily take on the Gyms that are supposed to be for top trainers only. THEREFORE, the gym leaders aren't going to be pushovers like in the games! In order to win a badge, the mods will take into account your current roster and the attacks and advantages to see whether your pokémon is strong enough to win a badge or not.
Each gym leader has a Regular Team of pokemon and an Elite Team of pokemon you can challenge. It's up to a trainer to decide which team to challenge, but if you take on the Elite Team of six level 100 Pokemon, you'll receive double the prize money. The items, however, are not doubled. Excellent for trainers looking for the extra challenge or those looking to make money fast.
!!! Badges must be mod approved. To earn a badge, please comment on this post. Please don't ask for more than two badges to be approved at once!

They will be compensated for their work as Gym Leaders with a stipend that will cover building costs, labor (the Leader's and any Trainers they may employ), and rewards for victorious challengers. We ask that Aurora Gym Leaders think carefully about the location of their Gym and the difficulty level they wish to present challengers. We also ask that they create their own Badge Request page like this one so that others can request battles with them. To officially request an Aurora League Gym, fill out the provided template and comment here. |
Please use this form to request a badge or a showdown with the Elite Four! Post your request as a comment to this post. Badges will generally be processed once per week, on either Wednesday or during the weekend. Please try not to PM or IM mods about badges (including elite challenges) unless your request has gone unanswered for more than a week.
!!! Please request badges as your character is actually in the general area of the gym!
!!! To preserve the spirit of the game, obtaining badges using recently-inherited Pokémon (ie, Pokemon received from dropped characters) that massively outlevel your own is discouraged. If this happens, you may be asked by the badge mod to revise your team. Inherited Pokemon that your character has had for a while and are the same level as the rest of your character's team are fine to use!
!!! Remember that you must fight all four members of the Elite Four and Champion Lance in a row. You may heal your Pokémon between battles and take a short break, but you cannot leave without ending your challenge.

Badge/Gym Leader: Glacier/Pryce
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Blue the Lapras, Snow the Absol, Elizabeth the Aegislash, Licht the Mimikyu
Battle Details: This is not a great dungeon for Cassandra; her pokemon don't have the best coverage of the necessary elements. That means she has to compensate with judicious TM purchases. It's a good thing she has a steady job.
Dewgong: Blue is a bit of a weird choice for this, because he's three levels below Dewgong and he's a water/ice pokemon. However, he is a water/ice pokemon who's known Thunderbolt since he hatched, which means he can actually do some damage here. If he starts to struggle, then Elizabeth will step in - and since Elizabeth has 25 levels on Dewgong and two Fighting-type attacks (Sacred Sword and Brick Break), which both hit one of Dewgong's other weaknesses, Dewgong likely won't last long if she does.
Lapras: On paper, Snow does not seem like the best match, as while she doesn't have any type weaknesses, she doesn't really have a type advantage either. However, she does know Taunt, and more importantly Cassandra taught her Thunderbolt, so she's actually in a halfway decent position here. She'll use Taunt to lock away Lapras's status skills, Double Team on herself, and then she'll start hitting Lapras with Thunderbolt. As they are evenly matched and Snow doesn't have an innate type advantage, there is a chance she will begin to falter; in that case Elizabeth will step in again.
Mamoswine: Licht is another pokemon that doesn't seem ideally suited to an ice dungeon. However, Licht has exactly two weaknesses and Mamoswine can't hit either of them, while Licht can hit a couple of Mamoswine's with little difficulty. Taunt locks away Mamoswine's status skills, and Burning Jealousy and especially Wood Hammer will hit two of its weaknesses, to Fire and Grass respectively, and whittle down its HP. To make things even more challenging for poor Mamoswine, Licht is also immune to all of its Normal-type attacks, and while Mamoswine has no weakness to Licht's Draining Kiss, it doesn't resist it, either. Mamoswine's high defense may be an issue, but even if Licht does start to run out of PP, then Elizabeth is once again waiting in the wings - this time with Steel Beam to hit another of Mamoswine's weaknesses. She might even have a few Sacred Swords left for the occasion.
Cassandra, as always, is waiting in the wings with healing items.
Badge/Gym Leader: Rising/Clair
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Lily the Pikachu, Blade the Silvally, Rhiannon the Alolan Ninetales
Battle Details: Time to get (more) serious.
Gyarados: It's really too bad about that 4x electric weakness. Lily sympathizes. Unfortunately, Lily also wants to win, so her sympathies in this case are conveyed via Thunderbolts. Sorry, Gyarados.
Kingdra: Honestly, Blade's overleveled for this. On the other hand, Blade has exactly one Fairy-type attack despite being Fairy-typed itself, so its utility is slightly limited. However, Multi-Attack is a very good attack, and Blade's other attacks, while not super-effective, do decent damage in their own right (Poison Fang will probably be deployed at least a few times in an attempt to inflict that status). It will also be using Swords Dance to up its own attack, and potentially Imprison if they have many skills in common.
Dragonite: Given that Blade is both Cassandra's starter and one of her two level 100 pokemon, one might think she'd be deploying it against Dragonite. Not so. Rhiannon's been looking forward to this battle almost from the moment she'd hatched. Rhiannon is actually one level below Dragonite, but as an Ice/Fairy type she has a significant type advantage and a plethora of attacks from both of those elements. She also has a number of status skills that she will happily break out for the occasion (including Aurora Veil to blunt Dragonite's attacks, Nasty Plot to up her own special attacks, and Double Team to increase her evasion), and if her HP runs low, she can always use Draining Kiss - which Dragonite is weak to. And Dragonite's 4x ice weakness is a huge liability against a even a partial Ice-type pokemon with the likes of Ice Beam and Blizzard in her arsenal. Rhiannon will likely try to end this battle with Triple Axel for style points, but only if she can get away with it. She's in this to win.
If Rhiannon somehow falters, then Blade will likely step back in, but that's a huge 'if.'
Cassandra will continue to dole out healing items as needed.
