indigo_league | Paldea Badges

While visiting the beautiful region of Paldea, your characters will be able to challenge the local gyms and earn badges. A few things should be noted however! Any badges you earn in the Paldea region will not count towards allowing you to challenge the Elite Four in Kanto. Additionally, even if you obtain all eight Paldean badges, it will not be possible to challenge the Paldean Elite Four.

Beyond that, however, the badges in Paldea work much the same as back home! 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!

paladinlost

Badge/Gym Leader: Katy's Bug Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Ignis the Garganacl, Leon the Ceruledge (+3 levels for each of them, gained over the last two weeks)
Battle Details: Look. Look. Is sending two level 90-ish Pokémon with a type advantage to fight a bunch of level 30 bugs unfair? Yes. Is Cecil going along with it because the kids complained about not getting to finally work at the Gym for two more months? Also yes. Thus, he makes sure to use each of them against at least one opponent.

Ignis starts all of his matchups with Salt Cure, because free damage is free damage. He then switches to using Rock Slide, because at this point the extra accuracy over Stone Edge is worth more than any extra power.

Leon really wants to show off his beautiful, exclusive Bitter Blade. Therefore, Leon exclusively uses his beautiful Bitter Blade. He's a very simple Pokémon, really.

Badge/Gym Leader: Tulip's Psychic Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Ignis the Garganacl, Leon the Ceruledge (+3 levels for each of them, gained over the last two weeks)
Battle Details: Cecil really is spoiling the kids this week, isn't he.

Against Farigiraf and Espathra, he uses Ignis. This time, he starts off by setting up Stealth Rock. After that, he returns to his beloved Salt Cure and associated extra damage. His main attacking moves are Stone Edge (for power + STAB) and Earthquake (if Stone Edge misses too often). Due to his slow speed, Cecil keeps a close eye on his health; if he estimates that Ignis could take another attack but not two, he'll order a Recover. If an attack drops him below that threshold before he can heal... guess it'll be Leon's turn early.

Against Gardevoir and Florges, Leon attempts Will-O-Wisp once for each. The lowered attack won't be useful today, but the damage over time is always appreciated. If he hasn't taken too much damage, he then follows up with Swords Dance. Once that initial setup is completed, his main attacks are Shadow Claw and Night Slash, favoring Shadow Claw for that lovely STAB boost. Should one of his opponents be close to fainting, he'll switch to Night Shade for the sheer novelty of using it. If he drops below about 40% of his HP, he'll switch to Bitter Blade once or twice for healing.

Please note that if both Ignis and Leon faint, Cecil will not send out a third Pokémon and will instead accept the loss.
