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.

Character: Scoepia |

braveloyalhugs
Badge/Gym Leader: Falkner, Sephyr
Elite/Regular: REGULAR TEAM
Team: LINK TO POKEMON ROSTER Blackie (Boltund), Emily (Drapion), little Frosta (Eiscue), Millie (Miltank) all level 56
Battle Details:
Scorpia's brought only four Pokemon to this match, mostly because she feels kind of bad that her team got really over-leveled before she had free time to get to Violet. She brings a collection of potions and at least one healing item per status effect but not much else.

Vs. Noctowl, Honchkrow, Pidgeot
And really, her strategy for the birds is exactly the same for each one:
--Emily is setup, here to hit the bird with Toxic, Venoshock, and then leave the field for Blackie, who's the star of the team today.
--Blackie is here to play, by which we mean, Electric Terrain, Charge, Wild Charge and then Charge+Spark combos while she runs around like the hyperactive dog she is.
--if Blackie needs a break, little Frosta is here to set up Hail and then Freeze Dry the poor poisoned and lightning-struck birds out of the sky.
--if both Blackie and Frosta are tired out, Millie comes in to Defense Curl, Rollout up the walls, and then finish things off with some Thunder Punches.
--and if somehow the whole rest of the team is exhausted (most likely cause is that Scorpia doesn't have any PP restoring items and Roost is a thing) Emily will come back in and Thunder Fang and/or Venoshock the poor poisoned, shocked, iced and then rocked birds into a faint.

Badge/Gym Leader: Morty, Fog
Elite/Regular: REGULAR TEAM
Team: LINK TO POKEMON ROSTER Millie (Miltank), Emily (Drapion), little Kyle (Persian), little Rogelio (Donphan), little Perfuma (Bellossom), Blackie (Boltund) all level 56
Battle Details:
Scorpia totally asked the Ghost trainer(s) she knows for tips, so she's hopefully not going to make multiple oopses this time. She has brought so many Awakenings in addition to her potions and such.

Vs. Haunter
--Scorpia knows that poison doesn't work well on ghosts, so instead of her usual set-up Pokemon, she sends in little Perfuma: Grassy Terrain to give her team a healing boost until it fades, Sleep Powder, and then a Petal Blizzard
--Emily comes in, Hone Claws, and then Crunch away! If she needs a Potion or Awakening she'll switch out for a while.
--little Kyle comes in to Screech, Taunt (if the target is awake), and Bite until he's getting low on health or statused, then he'll take his turn getting some healing.
--If Haunter is still around, Emily will come back in with Hone Claws and Crunch.
--if Emily needs to be spelled a second time, Millie will come in and Zen Headbutt away, with Heal Bell and Milk Drink to keep her in longer. She's only switching back out in the case of Sleep or Haunter fainting, really.

Vs. Misdreavus
--little Perfuma comes back in to set up her Grassy Terrain and Sleep Powder! Then she'll Petal Blizzard and Giga Drain until Grassy Terrain fades. If Misdreavus tries to Mean Look or Perish Song her, she'll just hit with Sleep Powder again until it sticks (Mean Look only) and continue her grass assault with fresh Grassy Terrain and Petal Blizzards and Giga Drains. (and continue with the same with Gengar until she faints)
--Assuming little Perfuma switches out, Emily has been healed up completely during the longer break, and is back in to Taunt, Hone Claws and Crunch with a few Night Slashes to hopefully make use of her Sniper ability. If Emily needs items, or is hit with Perish Song because Taunt wore off at a bad time, she'll switch out.
--if Emily needs to switch out, Blackie comes in to Nuzzle, Bite and Crunch, all the while running around like the little bottomless fount of energy she is. Should she get tired before Misdreavus goes down, she'll be called to switch out.
--Emily will come back in after Blackie does her thing, if she is able to, and repeat her above strategy.
--if Emily can't do her thing or needs to be spelled a second time, little Kyle will come back in to do his thing with Taunt, and Bite
--if Misdreavus is somehow still not fainted, Millie will use the tried and true Defense Curl + Rollout Combo.

Vs. Gengar
--little Perfuma is probably exhausted by this point, if not fainted, so when Scorpia reaches back for another Pokeball, does she have a backup setup Pokemon? Nope. It's little Rogelio the Donphan, ready to take full advantage of Gengar's vulnerability to ground. Is this a possible oops because some ~~previous generation~~ older Gengar were able to levitate? Yeah, but if it's not an oops, Rogelio will pulverise Gengar with STAB Bulldoze and Earthquake and Magnitude if necessary.
--if Gengar has Levitate: obviously the first ground move will fail miserably, so Rogelio will switch to Knock Off and Assurance (which is also on tap if Cursed Body and Spite take away his PP for ground moves)
--while Rogelio is battling, Millie is being healed. If Levitate is a thing, she'll just go the old Defense Curl and Rollout, but otherwise it's Defense Curl and High Horsepower. (definitely with a bit of Heal Bell and Milk Drink in there)
--if those two aren't enough to take Gengar down, any of Scorpia's non-fainted Pokemon will hop back in with their previous strategies. If they're out of PP for the super effective moves, Emily will switch to Thunder Fang (followed by the other two Fang moves), Kyle will switch to Power Gem, and Blackie will switch to her STAB electric moves and Electric Terrain.
