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: Minfilia Warde |

prayreturn
Badge/Gym Leader: Blue, Viridian City
Elite/Regular: Elite
Team: Main list.
Team: Rose, Thancred, Moenbryda, Berry, Warburton, Alisaie

Battle Details:
Viridian City is where the best fighters are. And so, Minfilia knows she'll be fighting for the best.

It may seem odd, then, that she's leading with her Audino. And not Mega Evolving right away...? It's because Minfilia wants to see how Blue reacts. It's clear that they have a Mega Stone.

So, Minfilia will see if Blue will take the bait... by going for Misty Terrain. If Venusaur stays in, she'll switch to Psyshock.

But, if not? Minfilia will switch up moves. She predicts that Tyranitar would be switched in, thus she'd switch to Dazzling Gleam. Blastoise gets Thunderbolt, Charizard gets Surf, Pidgeot gets Thunderbolt as well, and Jolteon gets Hyper Voice. Either way, she will let Rose fight until she's at half HP, before switching her out depending on the opponent, to let Rose heal.
--
For Blastoise, Minfilia has Thancred. Minfilia feels she needs to use her dear Pachirisu to take on Blue, as a promise. He's empty-handed. And ready to Nuzzle. If Blastoise is female, Attract is on the table - but if not, it's time for Electro Ball. (Discharge may do similar damage, but Electro Ball hits better.) He'll also go for a cheeky Sweet Kiss now and again.
If Thancred is in against Tyranitar, Charizard or Pidgeot, he'll be going for Nuzzle as well. And depending on the Pokemon, Discharge (Charizard, Pidgeot) or Seed Bomb (Tyranitar). Venusaur? Also Discharge.
--
For Charizard, Minfilia has Moenbryda. And first of all, Moenbryda will use Block. Either this'll trap Charizard in, or it'll trap somebody else in. We'll begin with the Charizard situation. Screech, and then Rock Slide and Aqua Tail alternating. If Moenbryda is burned, then Facade.
Meanwhile, if she's trapped another? Same strat. Screech, and then a damaging move. And Facade for the times status changes things. (Tyranitar instead gets Whirlpool and Surf, no Screech.)
--
For Tyranitar, Minfilia has Berry. And only for Tyranitar. Why? Because Minfilia wants to show her resolve.
AKA... If Misty Terrain is already up... (if it's not, Berry will set it up...)

Misty Explosion. Yeah. Minfilia sees Tyranitar as the biggest threat to her team. (Berry has agreed to this plan.)
--
For Jolteon, Minfilia has Warburton. If Jolteon has Magnet Rise or an Air Balloon, Warburton will go for Feint Attack (to burst the balloon) and Boomburst. But, if not? Sand Tomb, and then Earthquake.
Warburton is also backup for Tyranitar, due to. Trapping with Sand Tomb, and then Earthquake or Superpower as a last resort.
Venusaur and Blastoise are also part of this. Charizard and Pidgeot would get hit by Rock Slide instead.
--
For Pidgeot, Minfilia has a combination. Alisaie the Meowstic will be going for Fake Out (of course), Gravity to prevent Roost, and then Reflect. After that combo and protecting herself a little, the Meowstic will be going for a single Nasty Plot, and then Psychic. Not even a super effective move...? No, Psychic is stronger. If it feels like Alisaie is about to faint, she'll switch to Sucker Punch.
If Alisaie is still all set up against Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard, or Jolteon, Psychic is what she'll use. Tyranitar gets Magical Leaf instead.

Character: Minfilia Warde |

Badge/Gym Leader: Brock, Boulder
Elite/Regular: Elite
Team: Main list.
Team: Cucumber, Wally, Moenbryda, Moenbroda, Bunny, Rose

Battle Details:
Now, Minfilia knows that Brock is usually the first. Perhaps that is why she chose to go to him last? Or perhaps she was Leery over his... flirtations.

But she has a plan. That plan?

It begins with the one, the only... Cucumber! Said Mamoswine will be using Hail to set up the snow (and remove any Sandstorm), before using Stealth Rock and Blizzard. Break sashes/Sturdy, and then go for the chill. If Cucumber seems close to fainting, he'll be using Ice Shard.
--
After Cucumber faints - if Kabutops or Omastar are out - well. Wally the Abomasnow comes on out. The Abomasnow has a Focus Sash, because Minfilia has a plan against the combo.

His plan is Wood Hammer. Yup, that's it. At least one of the Water/Rock-types should have fainted from that.
--
Now, it worked well against Blaine. So she's going for it again!

Moenbryda is Choice Band'd. She is still defensive, due to being trained that way. She's here for Earthquake, and Earthquake alone. Minfilia hopes that Moenbryda can fight Rampardos or Golem.
--
Meanwhile, Moenbroda is Choice Scarf'd. She is there for Aqua Tail. Yes, two Feraligatr! Honestly, Minfilia wanted to see how fun it'd be to use two of the same Pokemon, in similar but different roles.
--
Now, a lot of this is things Minfilia has done before. A single overpowered move. Weather to remove enemies weather. But she's using a Pokemon she hasn't used before in gyms next - Bunny the Cinccino! First of all, Bunny is able to use Sunny Day to remove Sandstorm or Rain Dance. And then... Bullet Seed. Technician Bullet Seed. If the enemy Pokemon sets up, Encore to trap them in a non-damaging move. And then more Bullet Seed.
--
And now, back to her starter. Always, her starter. Well, mostly. Rose will Mega Evolve right away, use Entrainment to get rid of any good ability, and then go for Ice Beam, Grass Knot, and the such... you know. Special attacks, for a special Audino. If Minfilia feels that it's coming down to chip damage, well. Rose can outlast, using Life Dew.

If it seems that they're down to the wire, Minfilia does have One More Plan. And that is... Simple and Baby-Doll Eyes. Because, once again, most of the threat is from the physical side.

Badge approved! x2
