[@mecen8]

The poison should be optional. It adds a good kick into the meal

[@Mushrooms683]

@@mecen8 It would have to be an edible grass poison type, of which the only two are oddish and maybe amongus. Amoongus would work well because it is from Unova, and also mushrooms are actual things people eat (unlike roses or venus flytraps). They would need to give it a dex entry about how it's edible though.

[@mecen8]

Fair enough. I was mainly joking saying that Cilan should poison his guests since dark humor is funny, but you’re right. Also Cilan definitely should’ve had Foongus (Amoongus would be very hard to battle very early on, so Foongus works better,) for all the reasons you said, plus Cilan’s other Pokémon is Lillipup. Which is dumb. I know Chili and Cress also have Lillipup, but that’s dumb as well. They can have, I don’t know, Basculin and Darumaka. Basculin because it’s actually found in Striaton City, and Darumaka because Darmanatan the only other fire type from unova Chili uses besides Heatmor, and that would not be fun early game.

One little note: Melony’s team may have been 1 team member short, but has the type coverage to go up against the other Ice gym leaders and would’ve probably won, albeit Zen Mode Galarian Darmanitan with Flare Blitz as it has the speed and attack to hypothetically one shot most of everyone’s ice types, and her ace Lapras with Thunder to take out the remaining water-ice types

[@albertonishiyama1980]

Also, Gigamax Forms could count as two pokemons since most teams from other regions dont use megas, Gigamax or Z Moves. What would make a lot of the leaders actually okay to fight against a 6pkmn team even having only 5.

[@ruiribeiro8010]

I harshly disagree with Melony being disqualified at the start because her frosmoth alone with ice scales can wall 90% of the others' pokemon while being able to set up with quiver dance, not to mention her Flare Blitzing Darmanitan that honestly could wipe out all the other teams alone. Her Lapras can G max additionally and put up Aurora Veil, it learns thunder as well. 2 of the others have abomasnow which, aside from setting hail, (which isn't helpful vs other ice leaders at all) are dead weight. Wether she'd fair up against Brycen is hard to guess. By the way almost every pokemon can learn protect and therefore render slacking completely useless so if we count that Norman is actually the weakest.

"no other gym leader has an answer to winona's dragonite" Skyla's Archeops with Stone Edge: Am I a joke to you?

[@ogre589]

While yes Archeops' ATT stat is nuts at 140, you have to consider the accuracy of the move, which is 80 by the way, and whether Archeops can punch through Dragonite's 95 base DEF. Mikey also said "strongest" team so Dragonite will definitely have Marvel Scales which there is no way Archeops can OHKO that. All Dragonite has to do is survive the first Stone Edge, which is all but guaranteed and has a good chance of missing, and then reduce Archeops to half health so that Defeatist can take effect if Dragonite doesn't OHKO it from the start as thunderbolt is a respectable 80 power and Dragonite has 100 base SPA.

[@lyncario5515]

@@ogre589 I did the calcs, and Archeops only needs to be adamant to guarantee the kill with stone edge if it hits, even trough marvel scale. And even if it's no adamant, it has a 62.5% chance to ohko. So assuming it has an attack raising nature, there's 80% of duels where Archeops wins.

[@ogre589]

@@lyncario5515 i misspoke. While both Dratini and Dragonair get Marvel Scale, Dragonite gets Multiscale. This reduces all dmg taken at full health by 50%, effectively making it impossible to OHKO Dragonite.

[@Sacred_Sword]

​@@ogre589 Yes Dragonite does have Multiscale...except..no!?! No it doesn't. Mikey's using Winona's Emerald Rematch Team and her Dragonite has the ability Inner Focus on that team. Wanna know why? I don't know about you but I think it's because DRAGONITE DIDN'T GET MULTISCALE UNTIL GEN 5! You're wrong about Winona having a Dratini/Dragonair with Marvel Scale on top of Dragonite not having Multiscale. Wanna know why? Again, I don't know about you but I think it's because HIDDEN ABILITIES DIDN'T EXIST UNTIL GEN 5! And no Winona never had another Dragonite other than the one she used on her Emerald Rematch Team. She didn't even have another Dratini, Dragonair, or Dragonite after Pokemon Emerald never mind one with their Hidden Abilities! You could be just saying that she can change her Dragonite to one with Multiscale while completely ignoring the fact that Multiscale never existed yet! Well in that case I now magically replace Archeops Defeatist for Wonder Guard, change its type to Ghost/Dark, and give it Ice Punch in exchange for Earthquake all with my Action Replay all despite not everyone on this planet having the same exact copy of Pokemon! And while we're defying the laws of physics I'm going to say that this single battle is taking place in Pokemon Emerald where there are no Hidden Abilities despite Gen 5 Pokemon not existing and while I'm at it why don't I make this Dragonite- no! Her entire team six Level 1 Wishiwashi's with only Splash and the Ability Truant all despite Wishiwashi not being in Gen 3? Nice poorly aged video Mikey! As you can see now Skyla wins! Jokes aside no this guy's right. A Stone Edge would OHKO Dragonnite even despite Stone Edge's 80% Accuracy. Even if it misses I'm no Competitive player at all but Archeops Acrobatics (If used instead of Stone Edge) might kill due to Archeops holding Flying Gem. Also, since when a Pokemon is holding a gem they use the gem first when using a move of the same type and use the move after so not only will Acrobatics get boosted by Flying Gem but also stack with the double power boost due to not holding an item after using the Flying Gem before using Acrobatics. This boosts Acrobatics base power from 110 Base Power to 143 Base Power (Taking into account the Flying Gem 30% Power Increase) and I don't know when STAB is taken into account in an equation like this but if at the end STAB is taken into account that boosts this move from 143 Base Power to 214.5 Base Power. That's more power than a Hyper Beam or Giga Impact by the way. In comparison that's more power than a V-Create and a Self-Destruct and almost as powerful as the most powerful move in the game. That being Explosion.

My brother got pissed though because I chose Oshawott knowing my brother would go with Tempig. I knew some type matches due to playing a small bit of Heartgold and Platinum. Also screw the Electric gym. Most gyms I could beat first try or second/third try (Normal Gym, I just caught a Sawk) but by God Emolga sucked. Im pretty sure I leveled my Oshawott to a Samurott on that gym trying to brute force my way through.
