indigo_league | 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!

The Elite Four is now distributing Keystones and Mega Stones to promising trainers! Any trainer who has defeated all eight gyms of a single region will be granted a Keystone and one Mega Stone of their choice. No player will be able to have more than one Mega Stone at a time, and those looking to switch theirs out may do so once every four months. Mega Stones may be used in any casual trainer battle, but as far as gyms go may only be used in Elite battles.

The Indigo Plateau is now open to challengers! To qualify, trainers must have all sixteen badges from Johto and Kanto. Every Pokémon they face will be level 100, and the Elite Four and the Champion have heaps of talent and experience. As such, we will be reviewing Indigo Plateau challenges with more scrutiny than we bring to badge requests. A higher level of strategy is required to win on this field. Show us what you've got!

This Gym is part not of the Indigo League, but the Aurora League.	Aurora League Gym Leaders may choose their own battle specializations, as well as. design their own unique Gym (which will take one month to build from the time of request) and Badge (which will be available as soon as the Gym opens). 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Character: Akane Tendo |

uncutetomboy
Badge/Gym Leader: Misty
Elite/Regular: Elite!!!
Team: F-ko (Lurantis), H-kun (Jumpluff), S-chan (Luxray), C-ko (Grapploct), P-kun (Pachirisu) and S-ko (Drapion), all of which are level 100
Battle Details: There's a little more variety to Misty's bunch, so we're back to matches tailored to certain pokemon.

Against Quagsire, Akane sends H-kun, her Jumpluff, because Grass is literally Quagsire's only weakness and H-kun is immune to Ground attacks and highly resistant to Water. Cotton Spore to slow Quagsire down, Leech Seed to make sure he steals a little HP each turn, then Giga Drain to suck up even more HP. Repeat draining as necessary.

Against Lanturn, she sends F-ko, her Lurantis, who's highly resistant to both Electricity and Water. Sunny Day to turn the weather in the gym sunny in order to invoke Leaf Guard, then Petal Blizzard and Leaf Blade to hit Quagsire hard. Synthesis if F-ko seems like she'll be going low.

Against Floatzel, she sends in S-chan, her Luxray, in order to take advantage of the Electricity weakness that for some reason Floatzel is the first pokemon in Misty's elite team to have. Weird that. Baby-Doll Eyes to reduce Floatzel's attack, Electric Terrain to enhance S-chan's moves, and then Rising Voltage to really take advantage of the Electric Terrain. Repeat Rising Voltage as necessary.

Against Lapras she sends in her Grapploct, C-ko, in order to take advantage of Lapras' weakness to Fighting. Octolock and Bind in quick succession reduces both kinds of defense, keeps Lapras from switching out, and also sets up a bit of normal damage for the next few turns to come. Bulk Up raises attack and then it's a lot of Rock Smashing and Brick Breaking.

Against Milotic she sends P-kun, her Pachirisu, in order to take advantage of that electricity weakness again. Thunder Wave to paralyze, Sweet Kiss to confuse, and then a whole lot of Sparking and Discharging.

Finally against Starmie, she'll be sending S-ko, her Drapion, who is immune to all Psychic attacks and hits Starmie right in the weaknesses to Bug and Dark. Hone Claws to up her attacks, then Night Slash, X-Scissor, and Crunch.

Character: Akane Tendo |

uncutetomboy
Badge/Gym Leader: Brock
Elite/Regular: Elite!
Team: F-ko (Lurantis), H-kun (Jumpluff), S-jiro (Shiftry), Q-no (Quagsire), W-tachi (Wishiwashi), and Slow-dachi (Slowpoke), all level 100 or thereabouts
Battle Details: So! Except for Omastar and Kabutops, the type weaknesses for Brock's pokemon are fairly consistent, which means Akane by and large won't pick specific match-ups here and instead I'll be listing the order she'll be sending her various strong-against-rock pokemon, each of which will stay out until they faint or run out of useful moves--with the exception of either of the fossils being sent out while a Water-type is still on the field, because at that point Akane will switch said Water-type for the final Grass-type she has been holding in reserve.

But yeah, all of Brock's pokemon definitely hate Grass and some of them really hate it, so we'll start with F-ko, Akane's Lurantis and the purest of her Grass-types. We're by and large reusing the same strategy with F-ko as we did versus Misty: Sunny Day to turn the weather in the gym sunny in order to invoke Leaf Guard, then Petal Blizzard and Leaf Blade to hit Quagsire hard. Synthesis if F-ko seems like she'll be going low.

After F-ko goes down, her Jumpluff H-kun goes in. He Ingrains to keep from being shoved out and to get a steady supply of healing, Leech Seeds to get a little more healing, and then Giga and Mega Draining all the way baby. Let's hold off from fainting by stealing lots of health!

Normally S-jiro, Akane's Shiftry, would be next in line, but if we haven't reached Omastar or Kabutops, we're going to hold him in reserve until one of them shows up. In any case, when it is Shiftry's turn, we'll Sunny Day to take advantage of his Chlorophyll, then Leaf Blade, Leaf Tornado, and Mega Drain.

At any rate, we're going to start throwing out some Water Pokemon, because aside from those two fossils, the rest of Brock's elite team is also vulnerable to water and half his team is basically double vulnerable.

We're starting the Water-types off with Q-no, Akane's dumb-as-rocks Quagsire. Rain Dance to boost the power of his Water moves, Whirlpool to trap his opponents, and then a lot of Surfing all over everyone.

W-tachi is the next in line and he'll also trap his opponents in a Whirlpool, but not until he's set up an Aqua Ring to keep him healing in small amounts as the fight goes on. After that, Surfing and Hydro Pumping hit hard with water, and Diving helps avoid taking hits. Brine if W-tachi's HP goes low.

The final back-up is Slow-dachi, Akane's extremly dopey Slowpoke. Rain Dance again for that good water-boosting precipitation and then a lot of Surfing, Scalding, and Water Pulsing.
