BTPoke's Blissful Tempora Pizzeria

[Blademaster]

Blade:

I'll take your answer and ask you this. The concept of overwhelming odds on a one on one are drastically shifted when its a heavy type advantage such as this. Feasibly, could you-or anyone, contemplate a strategy that would at least make the battle somewhat balanced?

I wouldn't send out a Pokemon with such a horrible disadvantage in a 1-on-1 anyway. Except when I sent out Rawk Hawk against all those Dragons and such in my All-Comers' Challenge... Even then...

...Well, I guess the short answer is that it CAN be done. But it'd require more cheese than Wisconsin's entire industrial history has produced in order to pull off with any form of consistency. You'd have to have plans for EVERYTHING the opponent would be throwing at you.

And I'll admit, off the top of my head, I can't think of a way for a Leavanny to take down a Magmortar. I'm not Batman. Leavanny is part-Grass, so access to a move like Sleep Powder or Grasswhistle would probably be one of my earlier ideas.

Haha, I actually chose Magmortar specifically so Vital Spirit (assuming that was the ability in question) could trump those sleep attacks. So ends Oslo's fun fact of the evening. (But on closer examination, Leavanny gets Entrainment, so maybe there's hope after all? )
