Making a Dustox go away, however, would be hard when you only have one move (Thunderbolt) that the poisonous moth doesn’t resist. Amy, and Ollie decided to lean into the fight rather than back away, confident that once the Dustox was gone, the rest of the battle would be a cakewalk. The battle began with the marquee matchup of Bambi vs. With the teams decided, it was time to settle this matter on the field! Hoskins scares me too, and I’m not comfortable relying on Willard’s Hurricane to deal with him.And wait, he doesn’t have any Flying-type counters either! Put it all together, and Willard seems to be a logical choice. Wait, does Ollie really want to see that matchup? He could use someone like Nala or Thumper to counter Amy easily.C’mon, it’s the matchup we all want to see! Travis the Blaziken is probably coming out too, so Katie better be around to counter that pick.With Amy a likely pick for Kelly, it might be nice to have someone with an advantage against bugs.Since both players would be limited to three monsters, they would have to make some hard decisions about who to send out.įor Ollie: Since it’s been two weeks, here’s a refresher on Ollie’s team. Special Pokémon (like Latios and Xerneas) are allowed, but items are not.50 (gee, I wish I’d remembered sooner that the game would do this automatically). All Pokémon levels would be reset to Lv.Each player would choose three Pokémon to participate.In return… …he finally got his Conkeldurr!Ī quick trip back through the Hoenn Elite Four and a little wandering through the Battle Resort brought level parity to the battle, although it turned out not to be necessary once the rules were established. mid 70s to low 80s), so Ollie decided to help make the fight fair by offering his Lucky Egg to Kelly to speed up their training. However, at the time I made the decision, the Omega Ruby team was a fair bit lower-leveled than the X squad (low to mid 70s vs. (The rest of the team was no slouch either, with both Blaziken and Gardevoir sporting solid track records.) Instead, it was Amy the Dustox that seemed like the most interesting matchup: Not only did she have a solid staller moveset (Toxic, Protect, and Moonlight) that I’d used to beat several legendaries in online battles back in the day, but her Poison typing and Toxic/Venoshock made her a real threat to even a tough Fairy Pokémon like Bambi.
I did, however, have two G6 games handy that might test Ollie’s mettle: Y, and Omega Ruby. While Kyle’s team from Y was higher-leveled, I was more intrigued by the potential matchup against “Kelly” and her Hoenn-based team:Īlthough Kelly had her own legendary leader in Bernie “The Revolution” Latios, its Dragon typing meant that Bambi would eat it for breakfast if the pair ever met in battle. There was no easy way to answer this question against Ophilia’s Hammer-led squad, or my superstars from Sinnoh, or Unova, or Johto, or even Tressa’s Eevee-fronted Kanto crushers. The way Ollie’s crew crushed the hopes and dreams of trainers around the region made me wonder: Where did these Pokémon rank in the pantheon of my championship six-stacks? When we last left Ollie, he was a celebrating a Nuzlocke triumph over Pokémon X, leaning on his team “Bambi and the Xerneaires” to dominate the Kalos region. Bambi may have been “The Kalos Konquerer,” but how would their game play in Hoenn?
