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!

Character: Min-Gi Park |

outofsynth
Badge/Gym Leader: Ghost [Ryme]
Elite/Regular: Regular!
Team:
- The Jean Genie [Zangoose - lvl 57]
- Ice Age [Alolan Sandslash - lvl 96 - Never-Melt Ice]
- Stray Cat Strut [Skitty - lvl 97 - Leftovers]

Battle Details:

Zangoose vs. Banette

Jean is a bit of a gamble here. He doesn't have much of a level advantage, and while he's immune to most of Banette's moves that doesn't make him safe, so Min's taking precautions where he can. Since Banette has access to moves like Trick and Knock Off, Jean won't have any held item for this fight.

He will be starting out with Swords Dance. Honestly? They could almost do with Curse coming out here to inflict damage on Banette and buy them a little time. However, even if it doesn't that should still give Power Trip enough of a boost combined with Banette's dark type weakness that they do okay here. Because of Curse, Min's not wanting to hang around too much. If Banette doesn't use that too quickly then he might have Jean use an extra Swords Dance, but otherwise he's primarily going to keep him on the offence.

Should he faint then Stray Cat Strut will be coming out to finish the job with Shadow Ball.

Alolan Sandslash vs. Mimikyu

Snowscape will be Ice Age's starting move, followed by Swords Dance giving her a nice little boost to her stats. After that she'll be taking care of Mimikyu's Disguise with Icicle Spear. Maybe not the strongest move in the world, but since it strikes multiple times it at least inflicts some damage. Hopefully Ice Age's Never-Melt Ice will help a little here too.

Because of the level difference they aren't anticipating too much of a fight, but once Mimikyu's disguise is successfully dropped they'll be using Metal Claw to land some super effective damage and be in with a small chance of raising Ice Age's attack again. If any moves don't land or don't inflict as much damage as expected they can always try them again.

Pain Split is possibly the most dangerous thing here, so hopefully Ice Age can knock it out before she takes too much damage from this.

Skitty vs. Houndstone

Kitty vs. Puppy. Which I somehow did not actually notice until after I decided that was going to be the matchup. If he's male then Skitty's Cute Charm could help them out here, though that's not something they're counting on.

Roar is the biggest potential issue that Min has noticed, so Strut's going to see if she can make it sleep with Sing before using Shadow Ball to try and knock it out before it wakes up.

If Roar does force a swap, Min's going to try and work with it. Jean is tough since he's probably taken on a decent chunk of damage even if he made it through his match. However, they will try a repeat performance and attempt to use Swords Dance followed by Power Trip.

If Ice Age is forced out then she will use Iron Head.

Skitty vs. Toxtricity

Strut will be staying (or coming) out when Toxtricity is sent out. First she'll be using Foresight to allow normal and fighting type moves to hit once Ryme has used her Tera Ball. Once she has and Toxtricity is pure ghost then Min will get Strut to use Sing. If this works then she will use Wake-Up Slap.

Once it's awake again she will use Toxic since she should be able to inflict poison with its ghost tera type. If Toxtricity inflicts a status condition on her then Min-Gi will order Strut to use Facade. If not she'll be using Shadow Ball.

Should Strut faint before she can defeat Toxtricity then Min will bring out Ice Age. As her health might not be great by now she will go straight to using Iron Head, making the most of her higher level and type advantage against Toxtricity's tera type.
