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: Mahogany Town babey
Elite/Regular: Regular Team pls
Team: Team roster, featuring Quixote, Dexter, and Caltrops
Battle Details: After a gross seven hour flight into the cold hell of Mahogany Town, Tyler's gunning straight for the goddamn gym so he can leave.
Opening against Dewgong is Quixote, with a solid First Impression entrance. Thanks to being full Fighting he won't suffer quite so horribly from Ice moves, so between using Iron Defence and Detect to tank the hits, kicking up Sand Attack as much as she can and Swords Dancing to get that little extra physical buff, she's going to rush all-in and slam Meteor Hammer as hard as she can, with Brick Breaks whenever she gets her energy back.
Dexter is going to be going up against the Lapras, with a very high-risk gimmick of a strategy. He's going to have the Fire Pokemon use Role Play against the Lapras - and pray that the Lapras actually has Water Absorb, so that Dexter doesn't get immediately blasted into oblivion by the Lapras's overpowered Water attacks. He'll be using Swagger to try and confuse the Lapras, before rushing in to deal physical damage by leaping onto its back and using Thunder Fang repeatedly, and countering any Ice moves sent his way with Flamethrower
(And if Tyler calculated horribly and it turns out the Lapras has Shell Armor, then once Dexter faints he'll be sending in Quixote again to repeat the same tactics as before.)
And for the grand finale, against the Mamoswine, Tyler is going to use Caltrops. The Steel Bug has a distinct advantage in both level and type, and will open with repeating ralleys of Iron Defense and Gyro Ball, before she switches into Autotomize-ing and Magnet Rise so she can slingshot herself around the room untouched by its Ground-type attacks and keep up an onslaught of Mirror Shots and Take Downs until she gets Tyler the gold.
Character: Tyler Huang |
Badge/Gym Leader: Blackthorn Cityyyy
Elite/Regular: Regular Team again
Team: Team roster, featuring Y'ALL'D'VE BABEL, Teller and Jester
Battle Details: Knowing that she's a Dragon trainer and the final obstacle to the Elite Four on Johto's side, Tyler's going in no holds barred this time.
Against the Gyarados Tyler is going to send in Y'ALL'D'VE BABEL. A risky manouevre, given how the Solrock isn't strictly obedient to him, and has a type disadvantage: but it also has Trick Room, to give it an edge on speed, Sunny Day to lower Clair's team's power and Morning Sun to make use of it for sick heals, Stone Edge and Rock Slide for some immediate and heavy damage, and Hypnosis to disable the Gyarados even more. (Admittedly it might also try and launch some of those Flamethrowers at Tyler, but Isis has Protect now to block it so he can just stand there and be bathed in flames like a badass.)
The Kingdra is a bit trickier; Tyler doesn't have any viable dragon types. Luckily, he does have a powerful Hypno, who can open with Future Sight to avoid being immediately tanked by the Kingdra's insane attacks, and then turn to Hypnosis, Nightmare and Wake-Up Slap on repeat. Once Clair catches on, it's back to Future Sight, as well as Meditate to boost his physical attack and Psych Up to mimic the Kingdra's, and use Teleport to get close enough to launch some Headbutts, both Zen and regular.
The Dragonite would be far more of a challenge if Blackthorn City didn't have one very useful TM: Blizzard. Which Tyler has since taught to Jester, and will be opening the fight with. And whether or not that works, he'll be immediately throwing up Bind, Confuse Ray and Will-O-Wisp, and disappearing into Shadow Sneak so he can come out directly underneath the Dragonite and follow up with Ice Punches. As a Ghost, Jester has nothing to fear from Hyper Beam, and so instead will use Disable on the Dragonite's Outrage, and retaliate with Hex to inflict severe damage on the burned Dragonite.
