I fully acknowledge that I may not win this battle simply because I have no way of hitting flying types. I'm okay with that
Jitter will have his moment some other time
also
@9012_dirt I have finished my list of alternate methods for trade evolutions and just haven't gotten around to posting yet.
D: You make it seem like I'd just have her stay in the air, although that's kinda the point of aerial supremacy, I'm not that cheap >~>
It's not because I just don't have any ranged moves to hit you with or anything.
Then i feel like if Rose faints, i probably won, cuz Cottonee is 4x weak to Poison type attacks and 2x weak to Bug type attacks, and my moveset is made up of those types of attacks.
If Rose faints before Jitter, then it will be between Skorupi and Jitter most likely.
Well, Rose took a Razor Leaf, 2 Crunches, 2 Leafstorms, and 2 Giga Drains.
Considering that Gligar's base defense is almost double that off Turtwig's Attack and Razor Leaf only has a base dmg of like 55 >~> It only does moderate damage, though the stab makes it about on Par with Crunch's damage. So I guess those would be around 1/3 of her health?Even with the Giga Drains and Leaf Storms, Gligar's Sp.Def, surpasses Turtwig's Sp.Atk, so I can't apply massive damage to that, though I think since Leaf storm is an exhausting move the Sp.Atks after it were weakened. So since only the first unweakened Giga Drain and Leaf Storm would've done good damage I gave it about half her health, fair enough?
So she'd have about 1/6th of her full HP left. Though with her resisting practically all of Skorupi's attacks and Skorupi's Base attack being even lower that Turtwig's, a few uses of Harden and I'm confident that even if she can't win she'd at least end in mutual destruction. Skorupi was probably the worst Pokemon you could've sent out against Gligar >~>
Cottonee vs Bounsweet sounds like a long battle that ends in Mutual destruction. Bounsweet doesn't have any great attacking stats, but Cottonee is barely any better. The silver lining would be that Cottonee has better defenses but since Cottonee has 95% Grass-type moves it'd be a long battle, at least Bounsweet has some normal type moves. Besides Poison Powder, which I believe no longer affects grass types the only non-resisted move I have is Fairy Wind ;-;
Edit: I guess Spam Fairy Wind + Growth?
