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: Cecil Harvey |

paladinlost

Badge/Gym Leader: Kofu's Water Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Ignis the Garganacl, Leon the Ceruledge (+4 levels each)
Battle Details: Levels vs type advantage, what will prevail?

Since Ignis is both slow and at a defensive disadvantage, his main duty is setting up Salt Cure and then switching out. He'll also try to use Recover once if he gets too damaged before Kofu's final Pokémon, but if it comes down to it he's willing to get knocked out if Leon can switch in safely.

Leon will be Cecil's main attacker this time. Against Veluza, he favors Shadow Claw for that sweet, STAB-y supereffective damage. Against both Wugtrio and Crabominable, he prefers Solar Blade while healthy (no Sunny Day to set it up properly, sadly), or Bitter Blade if he absolutely needs to heal. Shadow Claw also serves as a neutral option if healing is unnecessary, but charging up is too risky.

Badge/Gym Leader: Larry's Normal Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Ignis the Garganacl, Leon the Ceruledge (+4 levels each)
Battle Details: Let it be known, for the record, that Dudunsparce is the best thing Cecil has seen in years.

As always, Ignis starts out with Salt Cure for extra damage, followed by Stealth Rock during his first matchup. His main attack after that is Hammer Arm, though he might switch to Heavy Slam if Hammer Arm starts missing. He can be sent out against Komala and Dudunsparce, even if Cecil is aware that Drill Run can cause problems. (Komala's Wood Hammer is going to be a delightful surprise, though.)

Leon starts off with a single Swords Dance. Once that's done, he alternates between Bitter Blade, Night Slash and Psycho Cut, with a preference for Bitter Blade if he's injured. He can be sent out against any of Larry's Pokémon, even if Dudunsparce's Ground attacks are a concern once more. If either of his Pokémon is hit by Yawn, Cecil will switch them out.

Like for previous badges, Cecil will accept a loss if both Ignis and Leon faint, no matter which other Pokémon he has at hand.
