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!

Battle Details:

Alolan Sandslash vs. Kilowattrel

Ice Age will be Min's first Pokémon. She'll start out with Hail, then to give her extra protection she'll be using Aurora Veil. Just in case it has Wind Power she won't be using Blizzard as her attack, instead using Icicle Spear. Her Loaded Dice will mean it hits at least four times each time she uses it.

With Aurora Veil up Kilowattrel shouldn't give her too much trouble. Even her strongest moves can't cause too much damage, and she has increased evasiveness from Snow Cloak. If Roost is stopping her from knocking it out then she will use Swords Dance to increase her attack power then try again. If the effects Hail or Aurora Veil fade then she will use those moves again.

Alolan Sandslash vs. Electrode

Although she has probably taken some damage, Min will still be keeping Ice Age in for this fight. Hopefully Hail will still be in play, but as it fades she will use Snowscape instead. She will also be using Aurora Veil as that runs out, though even without that her resistance to normal type moves means using things like Explosion or Self-Destruct aren't going to do much.

If she didn't use Swords Dance before then she will do that now. After that she will use Icicle Crash. There's a chance that Electrode has Static, and of course it also has other moves that could inflict paralysis, but physical moves still seem their best bet. If it misses or she is unable to move due to paralysis then he will try again.

His backup is his Rillaboom, Xanadu, equipped with a Cheri Berry in case there's a risk of paralysis. If Electrode is still pretty healthy then he will use Swords Dance first. If its health is lower, or once he's used Swords Dance, then Min will get him to use Drum Beating until it's down. If he thinks he can get it down in one move if he does, it's at this point he'll get Xanadu terastallize. There are no surprises here. It's just an addition boost to his grass type moves.

Rillaboom vs. Bellibolt

This is probably going to end up being a battle of the terrains. Though regardless of whether Bellibolt is using Electric Terrain Min will be trying to get Xanadu to keep Grassy Terrain up.

Whether or not he was able to use Swords Dance in the previous battle he will use it now. Due to Bellibolt potentially having Electromorphosis and having Slack Off to heal up he could do with defeating it quickly once he does start using damaging moves. Once he has Xanadu's attack high enough, Min will get him to use Wood Hammer, terastallizing first if he hasn't done so already.

If Xanadu faints then he will send his Gogoat out next. First he will get her to use Bulk Up What she does depends on whether Grassy Terrain is currently in effect. If it is then he will get her to use then she will use Leaf Blade. If it's gone, or once it has, she will use Earthquake.

If her health starts dropping then Saffron does have quite a few healing moves at her disposal.

Gastrodon vs. Luxray

Doug will be Min-Gi's first choice here. Although he isn't resistant to all of Luxray's moves, having complete immunity to electricity will be helpful here. Because it has Roar he will be using Mud Sport first so even if Doug is forced out, electric moves will still have decreased effect for a few turns. After that he will be using Earth Power, assuming he stays in battle.

If Roar is used then hopefully Mud Sport will still be in effect. If Saffron comes out she will use Earthquake, or Milk Drink first if her health is low. If it's Xanadu then depending on if his health is low or not compared to Luxray he might use Endeavor first, then Wood Hammer. He will use the latter regardless of whether or not it would knock him out. If it does then Min will choose to bring Doug back out. If Ice Age is brought out she will use Swords Dance followed by Icicle Spear. For Rodeo, he'll be using Bonemerang. If it's Blitz, then Min will get him to use Parting Shot to bring back Doug to use Earth Power.

Marowak vs. Electivire

First off, Rodeo will be using Focus Energy. After that he'll be seeing how far Bonemerang can take him. He's equipped with a Cheri Berry rather than a healing item to try and avoid paralysis. Although he does resist or have immunity to a lot of Electivre's moves, Min isn't counting on him winning this one solo.

If he still has Doug then he will be his first choice to bring in next. First he'll use Harden before using Earth Power. If Doug isn't an option then he will send out Saffron and have her use Earthquake.

Pangoro vs. Mismagius

Pangoro's typing gives Blitz a resistance against Mismagius' rock and ghost moves. He's also immune to psychic moves. Mismagius' levitate is currently in the way of him being able to use ground type moves, but luckily he has Entrainment. Once he's passed on Iron Fist he will start using Earthquake..

Since Mismagius has at least one super effective move against every other member of his team even if they could still terastallize Min will be trying to avoid letting him faint. As such, he's been equipped with Leftovers.

If Blitz is defeated then hopefully he still has some of his team left in reserve. He will prioritize those with some health left and ground moves over those who don't. Most likely this will be Saffron since even if she has shown her face she's been taking care of Pokémon who have already taken the bulk of damage they can handle. She does also benefit of moves that can help heal her like Milk Drink if she needs to before she goes on the offensive.
