Elite/Regular: Regular Team: For this fight, Phil the Dewgong (lvl 42), Patch the Pachirisu (lvl 45), and Dingle the Gyarados (lvl 30) (All of those are up-to-date for the week of 7-7 through 7-13, and I won't be updating them until after the badge is judged.) Detailed Response/Just Evaluation: detailed if you have time (no rush, they plan on sticking around Violet for a bit) Battle Details: In this fight, Jack's gonna be relying heavily on Patch and Phil's level and type advantages, with Dingle along as a JUST IN CASE backup with Dragon Rage, Twister, and Thrash.
He'll send Patch out first and go straight for ending the battle as quickly as possible with Spark and Discharge (both STAB), not bothering with status changes. Should things start to look a bit close or she drops below half HP before defeating Honchkrow, he'll switch her out for Phil. Phil will focus on attacking, as well, with Icy Wind and Aurora Beam (both STAB), although he might break out Encore or Aqua Ring if the opportunity/need arises.
(Spot the Swablu will be present on Jack's head shoulder throughout, thanks to her hatred of pokeballs, but she's far too low-leveled to take part in the battle and won't do more than celebrate with her teammates.)
Badge Mod Response: Patch is going to be able to take out Noctowl with two hits. Spark and Discharge will absolutely destroy Noctowl, who doesn't stand a chance with her lack of attacking methods. She'll just use night shade for the first attack and then quick attack for the second, denting Pachirisu's health.
She'll face Honchkrow who will take a pretty big hit but bounce back and attack with a critical hit, which will lower her health to 15%. Phil will be able to fend off any threat with an aurora beam, Honchkrow will go down. Following this, Pidgeot will fight aggressively with return. Dewgong's health will fall a bit, but he'll press on to win the badge. Falkner will notice the Swablu and offer some specific training tips for flying types, since he has a weakness for these things.
