I'm fine with your choice, Metallix's Girl, I sometimes catch a new battler in the middle of a battle as well, just incase.
Spyte, Mint may be a tough opponent here, so let's do our best to make sure he gets a good battle from you before you're out of it.
Taunt him, then start siphoning some health from him with a double Giga Drain. The more damage you can cause to him before he knocks you out, the easier it should be for your successor.
Sub:
If he Double Teams, Snatch the clones.
