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!

BACKDATED to sometime in April!

[personal profile] foolishwren 2024-05-03 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Heather Mason | [personal profile] foolishwren


Badge/Gym Leader: Katy's Bug Badge
Elite/Regular: ELITE
Team: Claudy | Noctowl (lv. 100), Carousel | Rapidash (lv. 100), Kite | Talonflame (lv. 100), Razz | Infernape (lv. 100), Rodan | Charizard (lv. 100), and Hurricane | Pidgeot (lv. 100)
Battle Details:

Heather over here rolling up to Katy's gym with the FIRE/FLYING SQUAD-- which would feel more unfair if she wasn't taking on the Elite Team, but she's sure that it will be a little more complicated than a straightforward type-advantage bloodbath, especially with Terastalizing in the mix. That said, the team she's bringing incorporates pure Fire (Rapidash), pure-ish Flying (Noctowl and Pidgeot), and Fire PLUS Flying (Talonflame, Charizard)-- so where either one fails, the other can probably succeed.

Spidops and Lokix will face either Kite the Talonflame or Rodan the Charizard, depending on how the order of the battle shakes out and who's got more health as it progresses.
Taking full advantage of double-weaknesses, she plans on dispatching the Bug/Steel Forretress with Carousel the Rapidash and the Bug/Fighting Heracross with Claudy the Noctowl or Hurricane the Pidgeot. She's got speed on her side with all three, so she's not too worried about the possibility of either Forretress or Heracross countering her with a Rock-type move or something, and as long as she still has at least one of her birds still kicking for Araquanid, that one should be pretty easy to handle too.

Ursaring is the one that could prove to be tricky! Since Heather... let's be real, is probably going to stick with what she knows rather than mess around TOO much with Terastalizing, won't know for sure exactly when in the battle Katy will switch its type, she's saving Razz the Infernape specifically for this matchup if possible, hoping to get at least once quick Mach Punch in on Normal-Type Ursaring before it bugs out. Assuming Katy is smart and Terastalizes right off the bat, welp, Fighting-type moves are out. Fortunately, Razz doesn't share the rest of the team's weakness to Rock-type moves, which is Heather's main concern, so Plan B is to just switch tactics and go for fire.

On the off-chance that Ursaring knows Earthquake or something and Razz gets hit too hard, the rest of the team (if still standing) can tap in and divebomb it to death (figuratively) with Flying-type moves.


Badge/Gym Leader: Brassius's Grass Badge
Elite/Regular: ELITE
Team: Claudy | Noctowl (lv. 100), Val Jr. | Hitmonchan (lv. 100), Honey | Butterfree (lv. 100), Kite | Talonflame (lv. 100), Razz | Infernape (lv. 100), Rodan | Charizard (lv. 100)
Battle Details:

HEATHER OVER HERE ROLLING UP TO BRASSIUS'S GYM WITH THE FIRE/FLYING SQUAD TOO SMH. But wait-- this time there will FOR SURE be some Rock-type moves involved from that Sudowoodo, so she's made a couple of adjustments.

Breloom's dual-typing means she still has at least one fun x2 advantage to use, so she plans to start strong with Kite the Talonflame setting up Tailwind, hitting hard with Acrobatics, and then U-Turning out to wait in the wings (eyyyyy) for later.

Claudy the Noctowl and Honey the Butterfree, in addition to both resisting Grass, both have Psychic-type moves to take advantage of Vileplume's Poison-typing, and Razz the Infernape should be able to handle Arbolivia on her own.

Other than that, the battle is fairly straightforward, with Heather employing much of the same strategy she used against Katy with Fire and Flying having the upper hand against Brassius's plants.

But of course there's Sudowoodo, and rather than rely solely on Razz, Heather will be bringing out Val Jr. the Hitmonchan. Even if the Terastalizing happens early, Val's (Iron Fist Ability-boosted) Fire Punch and resistance to Rock-type moves should give him a big leg up in the battle, and Razz can always jump in second if he can't hack it on his own. Worst-case scenario, Heather will have used Kite as little as possible outside of the first round and she can nip in to finish the fight.
