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: Thunder/Lt. Surge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Tonbo the Flygon
Battle Details: It's Tonbo the Flygon's time to shine... or so he hopes.
Electabuzz: Tonbo has four major advantages going into this gym battle: 1. He's a partial Ground-type, 2. He's level 63, 3. He's completely immune to Electric attacks, and 4. His weaknesses, to Ice, Dragon, and Fairy, are not ones that Lt. Surge's team can hit. And Tonbo has several moves to choose from to make Electabuzz's life difficult: Bulldoze, Dig, Earth Power, Earthquake, Scorching Sands, and more - plus Sand Attack to ruin its accuracy. All of this combined means Electabuzz's chances of a win are relatively low.
Magneton: To the above strategy, Tonbo can add Flamethrower to hit Magneton's Fire weakness in addition to its Ground weakness. Tonbo will start with Sand Attack, throw in Laser Focus to guarantee a few criticals, and lay right into those weaknesses. Tonbo having over twenty levels on Magneton will likely not help its chances either.
Raichu: Subtract Flamethrower and add Bug Buzz, Bite, and Crunch to all of Tonbo's Ground attacks. Raichu's Double Team will likely be an issue, but Tonbo will pay Raichu back with Sand Attack again, along with copious use of Laser Focus to get those critical hits.
Shinobu, for his part, will be watching Tonbo like a hawk and being very generous with healing and curative items. This includes PP-restoring Leppa berries if necessary.
Badge/Gym Leader: Soul/Janine
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Arashi the Morpeko, Murasaki the Salazzle, Hashi the Toucannon
Battle Details: Poison vs. Poison (and a few other elements), basically.
Crobat: Arashi lacks an immunity to Poison, and its Aura Wheel switches between Electric and Dark, which isn't ideal. Fortunately, Aura Wheel is Electric element half the time, and Arashi has other Electricity attacks to compensate anyway, enabling it to hit one of Crobat's weaknesses. Arashi also has Taunt, which will lock down Crobat's status attacks, Torment to keep it from using moves consecutively, and Agility to boost its own speed. Arashi also has eight levels on Crobat, which will add to its advantage. All of that together will hopefully allow it to win the day.
Ariados: Ariados's partial Bug typing isn't going to do it any favors, because that gives it a Fire weakness, and exploiting Fire weaknesses is one of the things Murasaki does best. The other thing she does best? Poison Poison-type pokemon, which she will also happily do, while enjoying immunity to Ariados's own Poison attacks. She also has Encore and Disable, to force Ariados to use one move repeatedly or to randomly shut down one of Ariados's moves. With luck, that move will be Psychic, because that could still hurt Murasaki despite the Salazzle being fourteen levels higher than Ariados. If Psychic does become a problem, Hashi is waiting in the wings to exploit Ariados's weakness to Flying-type attacks.
Venomoth: Venomoth gets the same strategy as Ariados: Murasaki, if she's still hanging in, will use Taunt, Disable, Encore, and/or Torment to try to lock down Venomoth's more troublesome moves while using Fire Whip and Flamethrower to hit its Fire weakness and trying to inflict Poison via Corrosion and Poison Gas or Toxic. Venomoth's Psybeam is a potential issue, but if it becomes too much of one Hashi will swap in again. Still, Murasaki has a type advantage and eleven levels on Venomoth, so hopefully that will enable her to prevail.
Shinobu will be playing item caddy again, with an emphasis on Poison curatives and healing items.
