So now $20 is riding on the thesis that I can beat a team of three of whatever he wants to use against my three which have base stats of under 350 and can be obtained before Cerulean City.

I'm pretty sure he's going to use:

Mewtwo
-Blizzard
-Thunder
-Psychic
-Recover

Mew
-Fire Blast
-Thunder
-Psychic
-Softboiled

Charizard
-Ember
-Flamethrower
-Fire Blast
-Slash

He's a great friend, but he's a real dimwit when it comes to Pokémon. He also Rare Candies and copies TMs like crazy. He ALWAYS uses the same team, which I ALWAYS have beaten. Hopefully, this will be a challenge.

My tentative team is:

Wigglytuff
-Sing
-Body Slam
-Rest
-Submission

Beedrill
-Focus Energy
-Pin Missile
-Agility
-Hyper Beam

Raticate
-Hyper Fang
-Hyper Beam
-Focus Energy
-Toxic

Wiggly's moveset won't be changing; it's one of my favorites. I'm pretty strapped for TMs now, so I have to make do. All I really need is enough time for them to fire off a Hyper Beam.

I don't think that Beedrill's going to make it, if the guy knows his type weaknesses. He's dead to one Psychic and probably dead to one Flamethrower, too.

Wiggly'll have to be lucky with Paralysis without a Hyper Beam finisher.

And I don't think Raticate will have much time to power up either.

...but if either of those guys get a chance to unload, they'll do well. I just don't think they'll be able to make it.

Wiggly's the only one who can take more than 2 strong hits...maybe the power of PAR be with you...

Let us know how you do!

------------------
Insert sig here.

Replace with hyperbeam.

Hmmm...what else...uhm..dont forget clefable,...she's good...try:

Light screen
T-wave
Seismic toss
Rest

Should counter mewtwo fine...

Try to paralyze his whole team...and for beedrill,use twin needle over the missle.And if everything is paralyzed,you wontworry about poison.

Hmmm...what else..oh yea...

You can try golem with explosion/rock slide/quake/whatever..

So go for wiggly,clefable,and the drill.

"It's gonna be a Psybro!"
-Ash

You can get a Graveler.
Try to take out Char with it.
Then play it kamikaze with Explosion.
RockSlide,Earthquake,Substitute,Explosion

Wiggytuff will have to be the workhorse against Mew/two. Play it with T-wave and BodySlam
BodySlam,T-wave,DoubleEdge,Rest

Raticate:
FocusEnergy,HyperBeam,SuperFang,HyperFang

An interesting idea...the problem with Bide is that it gives the opponent free power up time...so that they actually will be able to kill Wiggly in 2 attacks!

But it might work against stupid trainers...or at least the CPU in Stadium.

Hmmm. I'll have to think about that. Thanks for the idea.

Maybe you can use blastoise...heh, i mean who would have a better chance vs his charizard? Graveler (2nd of 3 evolutions), or blastoise...a water pokemon.

well anyway...good luck

This is my general all-purpose Wigglytuff; I didn't raise it specifically for this battle, unlike the others. That's why it has Submission. But Bide's probably better in the long run anyway-I think I'll use it.

I refuse to use Clefable. I thought of Graveler before, but I discarded it 'cause of its weaknesses to Water and Grass. I forgot that he doesn't use them.

So, rather than Beedrill:

Graveler
-Rock Slide
-Explosion
-Mimic (should be fun)
-Double Team (also for fun)

This is gonna be great!

------------------
(: ryoga!!!
If pokemon really existed ... No.2
TRAINER 1 sends out Pinsir
TRAINER 2 sends out Pickachu
Pinsir used Guilotene
Pickachu was decapitated

*thinks u kinda screwd your self*

Buterfree'd get smoked by a Thunder, Blizzard or Fire Blast. Double Team would be too risky, anyway.

Our battle's tomorrow, so I'll have a great story then!

So we upped our battle to today. The results are in the Wiggly Cup topic.

No way! Against someone without legendaries, maybe, but every attack on his Mewtwo and two on Mew are super effective against Golbat. I don't have anything against Golbat, but it just wouldn't work. Beedrill's kicked for the same reason.

I also used Parasect at the first tourney, and it got smoked by a barrage of Fire Blasts and Blizzards.

One last thought - Starmie with Reflect, Lightscreen, Minimize, and Rest... that would be 160 PP (After full PP ups) to waste him into oblivion... of course that depends if he's smart enough to figure out to keep switching... if so Surf might go over Minimize and possible Recover back over Rest...
-Givera

We changed the rules anyway, so it's no holds barred now.

Electrode - Light screen, Thunderwave, Rest, Explosion
You can start off with TWave or LScreen which ever you feel more comfortable with... after LScreen most of there attacks will do little enough damage that you can sleep through them with Rest... Explosion won't KO any of them but the more important issue is that you use it on someone who's paralyzed so that one of the next two guys can get setup...

Slowbro - Amnesia, Rest, Surf, Thunderwave/Double Team
After 'Trode goes boom then Slowbro can come in and immediately start using Amnesia. It's your choice as to use Thunderwave or Double Team... Once Amnesia is maxed out Surf will KO MewX in at most 2 Hits and Charizard in 1...

Chansey - Light Screen, Counter, Seismic Toss, Softboiled
Like I said earlier - Light Screen will make all of his special attacks near useless and he'll have to use Charizard's Slash which Counter is waiting for... if you want to drop Softboiled for Rest to give him more PP that should work too... except that Chansey can only survive two Slash's at a time... but that's from a Max Attack Charizard so if he's candied you MIGHT survive three... something else to consider is use Rest when MewX is in play and hope he doesn't switch the same turn... he could switch the NEXT turn and get only one Slash on you before you wake up... then you have enough HP to survive another for Counter...

I *THINK* that team would have quite a good chance against his...
-Givera

He ripped off the Stadium R-2 Mewtwo, which was hellish for my Chansey to overcome. He also threw away Charizard and Mew for a cloned Swift-Dancing Mew and a Golem. Fortunately, he's getting coaching from an as-of-yet-unknown source, and may actually retain some skill.

His extra two from his two defeats were Snorlax and Electrode, also surprisingly, which totally threw over my team (altho it WAS a 5 on 3 fight).

I have a similar Electrode setup to yours, altho Rest's pretty pointless if yer just gonna blow him up anyway. I also prefer Reflect over T-wave 'cause he already will almost always have the speed advantage and 1/2 physical damage is better then 3/4 attacks IMO, altho it also depends.

I also have a Snorlax similar to that setup, but I dislike most Slowbro, and an identical Chansey.

The record's 2-1 after Game 3 yesterday, so I get to use four Pokémon; Pikachu, Wiggly, Electrode and Chansey made the team. Snorlax will come in if I lose Game 4 tomorrow.

Thanx!
