Character: Jotaro Kujo | phdepression Badge/Gym Leader: Iono’s Electric Badge Elite/Regular: Regular Team:Star Platinum the Palafin Chariot the Bisharp Kosugi the Aurorus Natsumi the Pawmo Luna the Ursaring Fortress the Sandygast Battle Details: Jotaro needs both money and more TMs for breeding endeavours so it’s time to get serious and do a gym battle. Jotaro likes swapping his Pokemon around so most of his Pokemon are about Luna/Fortress’ level, but he does have some strong swingers and his starter, which is grossly over levelled.
He’ll open with SP the Palafin but use Aqua Flip immediately to take advantage of SP’s superior speed and ability. It’s not a super effective move but it’ll allow SP switch out to Fortress the Sandygast, who will soak in what’s likely going to be an incoming electric-type move.
Unless it’s Iono’s Wattrel or Mismagius, Jotaro will be relying on his slightly under levelled Sandygast for good reason: Fortress is a bastard of a tank with an infuriating strategy. He will be using a mix of Sand Tomb to trap the Pokemon, Sand Attack to make his opponent miss, and Giga Drain to leech HP back from any nasty bites Luxio gets off. If at any point the Sandygast goes down, Jotaro’s going to throw SP back out to brute force past Belibolt and Luxio, using Double Hit to take advantage of raw power and Astonish to not give either a chance to electrocute him.
When it gets to Wattrel and Mismagius, Jotaro will switch to his Aurorus. It’s Kosugi’s job to throw as many Ancient Powers at Wattrel to get as many scummy boosts up. When Mismagius appears, Kosugi will set up Light Screen AND Hail too. After that, it’s a game of ancient Power and Ice Beam until Iono’s team goes down.
All the other Pokemon are here for backup, in case the first three don’t finish the job. Chariot the Bisharp will Night Slash if Iono doesn’t Terrastilise and if she does, he’ll Slash. Natsumi the Pawmo is here to Volt Absorb and provide clean switches. Luna the Ursaring is to check for paralysis and take Thunder Waves, in which Guts will activate and pair with Payback to deliver Iono’s Pokemon a beating.
P.S. If somehow Luna does go in and deliver the final blow, she’ll evolve into an Ursaluna thanks to her held peat block (the moon was just right somehow)
Like last time, he’ll open with SP the Palafin and use Aqua Flip so SP can go to Hero Mode. It’ll do a lot of damage, or at very least break Mimikyu’s Disguise. He’ll then switch to Chariot, who is the star of the show. Except for Toxtricity, Ryme’s ghosts are physical attackers so Chariot will buff himself with Iron Defence and use Night Slash to try and bring down the Banette and Houndstone. If Mimikyu is out, Jotaro will instead have Chariot use Metal Claw or even Metal Burst if Chariot is slower.
Tom the Persian is around mainly for clean switches, given he’s a normal type. He’ll also Taunt any status moves or ghost moves he switches into to stop Ryme from attacking. As a support Pokemon, Tom will be using Screech so SP can kick ass when he goes down, but he can use Assurance too. Similarly, Luna the Ursaring is there for switches, being also a normal type. She’s going to use Baby-Doll Eyes if she’s slower or Charm if she’s faster to make it easier for the others to attack. Similarly, she has Payback to take advantage of type matchups.
Natsumi the Pawmo is there for support. She will Thunder Wave whenever she’s sent out, and generally be a real pain to take down with Dig. Jotaro will be switching as much as he can between Chariot and SP to take Ryme down with the others for support. Even with SP being such a high level, everyone else is not as strong as Ryme’s Pokemon so I imagine it really can go either way.
If SP goes down at any stage, it’s up to Kosugi the Aurorus again. Jotaro will save him for the Toxtricity so he can use Light Screen but Hail, and Ancient Power is also on the table.
Jotaro is really the worst kind of Pokemon player and a menace to fight.

Battle Details: Yeah, this is a wild second gym battle but Jotaro’s in the area. He might have a chance here, hopefully, though he’s aware sheer levels won’t make this as easy as Iono’s battle.
Like last time, he’ll open with SP the Palafin and use Aqua Flip so SP can go to Hero Mode. It’ll do a lot of damage, or at very least break Mimikyu’s Disguise. He’ll then switch to Chariot, who is the star of the show.
