Quick Claw on Magnezone

Lead with Magnezone, spam Zap Cannon.

 

Follow with Blastoise, use Hydro Pump against Gengar and Pidgeot, Crunch on Kingdra.

 

Charizard last, Dragon Claw on Kingdra, Fire Blast on rest.

 

EDIT: Also I might be intoxicated but I think my last money was forgotten to be added.

You find the money in your account was finally added after a wire transfer mixup

 

At the party you battle Beauty Beatrice

lv 58

Kingdra

Gengar

Pidgeot

 

Magnezone leads off with Zap Cannon against Pidgeot. 2 Hits and Pidgeot goes down!

Gengar gets revenge with Shadow Ball, but takes a Zap Cannon to the face first! Blastoise finishes it off.

Kingdra uses a medley of moves to beat Blastoise. Will it be able to use its type advantage against Charizard?

And day 7 finally concludes! Time for the final tournament! 4 different trainers are all neck and neck as far as Pokemon levels go. Should make for some interesting battles!

 

But first... Team Rocket is at it again! Jesse stole Bird Keeper's Elekid, and James stole Bill's Elekid.

 

And now.. for the round 1 matchups...

Dom
Ricer13
Ptyrell
Spartan
dlamb
omgitshim
Lemorse7
Alex
OrbitingDeath
ctots
Gustav
JardyB10
McWolf

 

With an Odd number of players, the lowest player in the rankings will receive a bye which counts as an automatic win. A different player will get the bye each round, and it should only affect the bottom half of the standings.

 

And for a quick tournament preview...

@Ptyrell @Gustav  @JardyB10 and @OrbitingDeath  all have their 3 Pokemon within just a few levels of one another! The combined top 3 levels of each trainer's Pokemon ranges from 180 to 185.5. It will come down to strategy and luck to determine the winner of the 4. 1st place gets 5 VPs, 2nd and 3rd get 4 VPs, and 4th gets 3 VPs.

 

@McWolf @Alex and @Ricer13 make up the next tier, though with proper (or improper) strategy and luck, they could knock off a stronger opponent or lose to a weaker one. It is likely the best of these 3 gets 3 VPs, and the other 2 get 2 VPs.

 

@Lemorse7 @omgitshim @Spartan  @dlamb @Dom and @ctots all make up the tier of players who focused more on catching pokemon than training them. This group also features the most Legendary Pokemon of any other, and also all fall in a similar level range. I suspect the matchups between the Legendary Pokemon will have a big impact on the final sorting of this group. 2 of these trainers should get 2 VPs, 3 should get 1 VP, and 1 will get 0.

 

Good luck everyone!

Alright I've noticed something very strange... When I look on the computer, the lines from google docs copied correctly for the battle matchups. When I look on mobile, the lines did NOT copy correctly. I have no idea why it would matter? Or maybe because one is regular mode and one is dark mode? Either way, I'm clearly not the only one seeing this as people have submitted different things for their matchups. So to clarify, here are the matchups:

 

@Dom vs @Ricer13

@Ptyrell vs @Spartan

@dlamb vs @omgitshim

@Lemorse7 vs @Alex

@OrbitingDeath  vs @ctots

@Gustav  vs @JardyB10

@McWolf has a bye

 

I'll post future matchups in this format rather than copy-pasting.

Welcome to the first match of the Final Tournament! And to start things off, we have one hell of a match between two of the top trainers!

 

Burglar @Gustav  VS Jessie @JardyB10 !

Burglar (Concept) - Giant Bomb VS 1819cee40681eaa8f725763211b6216a.jpg.gif

 

 

Jessie leads off with Blastoise lv 58 holding Quick Claw!

Burglar leads off with Flareon lv 61.75 also holding Quick Claw! So the higher level Flareon gets the first move! However this isn't the type matchup it was hoping for...

 

Flareon opens things up with Double-Edge! It does quite a bit of damage, but also takes 41 damage itself..

Blastoise retaliates with Hydro Pump...

Next up is another potentially close matchup!

 

Bird Keeper @Lemorse7 VS Nurse Joy @Alex!

VSBird_Keeper_PE.png VS Nurse_Joy.png

 

Bird Keeper sends out Jolteon to lead and Nurse Joy sends out Steelix!

Steelix leads off with Earthquake.. Super Effective and gets STAB! Seems well worth the mini-TM cost.

Jolteon responds with Thunder.. It has no effect! This will be tough to recover from!

Another Earthquake and Jolteon goes down.

 

Next Bird Keeper sends out...

For this first round matchup we will see Proffesor Oak @Spartan versus James @Ptyrell

 

Professor Oak - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon ...

 

Oak his team consists of Machamp, Kadabra and Zapdos.

In James'corner we see.... Venusaur? Where are the others?

 

 

ArtStation - Venusaur -- Pokemon

 

Venusaur opens the game with a Sludge Bomb that knocks out the Machamp


Kadabra takes over with a psybeam that  brings Venusaur's HP down to 241.9
But once again it is just a single sludge bomb taking care of business.

 

Venusaur is not impressed. He then faces of against the legendary pokemon zapdos.
It's drill peck hits hard and brings down Venusaur to 117.9 hp and it is in range to be killed off.

Venusaur once again drops a Sludge Bomb, it hits hard, but Zapdos is standing with 7.2 hp left.
Will it go for the win here by using another Drill Peck?

Continuing our first round coverage, we have an exciting match-up between:

 

Nurse Joy @ctots VS Worker @OrbitingDeath

 

NurseJoy.jpg  VS Worker.png

 

Wait, didn't Nurse Joy already battle? Are you saying there are multiple nurses all named Joy? What kind of world is this?! That's like saying there's multiple Pokemon named Meowth! We all know there is simply one version of that! Anyway enough exposition, let's fight!

 

Nurse Joy leads things off with Hawlucha! Worker pts for Aegislash-Sword!

Aegislash uses Surf and Hawlucha doesn't stand a chance. As expected of a matchup between a level 62 and a level 21.

 

Nurse Joy smiles a little. You get a creepy vibe. She sends out her next Pokemon...

New day, new round!

 

3DS - Pokémon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire - Professor Birch - The Models  ResourceProfessor Birch @omgitshim vs     Professor Elm - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia Professor Elm @dlamb

 

 

 

 

Birch is bringing:

Machamp actually uses a mach punch to have the first strike of the game over Grubbin. 
Grubbin counters with some bug bites, but he eventually falls to the close combats that are dished out by Machamp!

 

Lapras comes in and uses a mighty hydro pump!

Only one pokemon remaining on Elm his side, and it is a level 22 Weavile.


Weavile his icebeam hits Celebi, but even though it hit for 90 damage, Celebi is still standing.
The level difference surely comes into play here as Celebi 1 shots the Weavile with another leaf storm.

 

 

Professor Birch is victorious!

Final match-up of the first round! Let's go!

 

Bill @Dom VS. Ash Ketchum @Ricer13

 

Bill.gif VS. ResetBloodlinesAshBeginning.png

 

 

Bill uses his strangely immense size as an intimidation tactic before sending out Growlithe. Ash uses his own intimidation tactic back:

 

Using Lugia.

Lugia blasts Growlithe with a Hydro Pump. It doesn't go well for Growlithe.

 

Bill opens his backpack, revealing about 8 Pokeballs inside. "I don't even know who is inside of these Pokeballs. I'll pick uhhh.... this one!"

VS

Professor Elm @dlamb

Lapras lv 29

Sneasel lv 30 holding Oran berry

 

Elm's Lapras opens things up by 1 shotting Growlithe with Hydro Pump! Growlithe didn't even get to eat the delicious berry it was randomly given!

Bill sends out his own Lapras to counter. The 2 non-squirtle water turtles go blow for blow! Eventually Elm's Lapras who struck first gets the victory

Elm sends out Weavile next, whose Dark Pulse finishes Lapras!

Bill down to his last pokemon... Pupitar! With a 10 level advantage!

Pupitar opens with Crunch.. not very effective!

Weavile's Ice Beam however does massive damage!

Pupitar uses Earthquake...

Alright time to pump out some more matchups!

 

First we've got Bird Keeper @Lemorse7 vs Prof Oak @Spartan !

Lemorse opens things up with Suicune Hydro Pump!

Spartan uses Machamp, who takes a punch and strikes back with Knock Off before falling to another Hydro Pump.

Spartan sends out Gyarados next! This proves to be more of a match for Suicune... But Suicune still takes out Gyarados with 28 HP remaining!

Finally Spartan reaches in his back pocket and finds his own legendary! Zapdos!

Can Zapdos run the table like Suicune almost did?

Lemorse sends out Jolteon... Jolteon's Thunder still does a fair amount of damage due to Zapdos' Flying type!

After 2 hits, Zapdos goes down!

 

@Lemorse7 is the winner!

Next is Jessie @JardyB10 VS Nurse Joy @ctots!

 

Jardy sends out Magnezone who is almost equal in level to ctots' Dubwool, Weezing, and Hawlucha combined!

And to make a short story even shorter, Magnezone uses Zap Cannon and takes out all 3 opponents and still has easily over half HP remaining!

 

@JardyB10 is the winner!

Next is Prof Birch @omgitshim VS Worker @OrbitingDeath !

Worker seems somewhat under the weather as the suppresses another coughing fit.

Meanwhile Prof Birch is busy giving all his pokemon very detailed instructions and hands each of them a focus sash...

 

Charizard opens things up with a Fire Blast against Worker's Elekid!

Elekid hangs on thanks to Focus Sash!

Elekid uses Destiny Bond?!?

Gary starts things off with Victreebel!

Victreebel uses Knock Off to get rid of any pesky items that could interfere!

But Nurse Joy's Steelix isn't holding anything!

Steelix uses Earthquake and takes Victreebel to 135 HP.

Victreebel uses Leaf Blade...

A quick one up next--this one is @Ricer13 (Ash Ketchum) vs. @Ptyrell (James)!

 

James will lead with Aegislash--in the Sword form--using Iron Head against Ash's Arcanine. It takes two hits, but Aegislash moves on and Ash follows with Electabuzz.

 

Using one Thunderbolt, Electabuzz gets a KO in return and James puts in Venusaur, who uses Frenzy Plant and scores the second KO of the match.

 

But wait--Venusaur's Frenzy Plant means that James has to skip the next turn...and the Lugia that Ash has in the match is resistant to Grass! Is it possible that Ash could make things interesting?

@McWolf VS @Ptyrell

@Alex VS @omgitshim

@Ricer13 VS @Gustav

Third round action coming in hot!

 

Nurse Joy @ctots VS Professor Oak @Spartan

 

NurseJoy.jpg  VS Professor_Oak_anime_Black_&_White.png

 

 

Nurse Joy sends out Hawlucha while Professor Oak goes with Gyarados!

 

701-Hawlucha.webp

P5417_703-05408_02.jpg

 

Gyarados leads things off with a Dragon Breath. Hawlucha shakes it off and comes in hot with a Flying Press. Gyarados had enough and finishes the round with a Hydro Pump. Nurse Joy smiles and sends out Dubwool.

 

small.832Dubwool_Dream.png.013fa95a4c662

 

Dubwool immediately spices things up with a Double-Edge. Gyarados winces but shoots a Hydro Pump back at it. Dubwool gets angry and uses Double-Edge again. Gyarados goes down! Professor Oak studies the situation and sends out Machamp.

 

pokemon-go-machamp-movesets.jpg

 

Machamp utilizes Close Combat and Dubwool doesn't stand a chance. Nurse Joy's down to her last pokemon... Weezing!

 

250px-James_Weezing.png

 

Weezing starts things off by splurting out a Sludge Bomb on Machamp. Machamp tells it to Knock it Off. Weezing gives Assurance that it's sludge is organic and gluten free. Machamp takes out two of its hands for a Dual Chop to challenge those claims. Weezing takes offense and uses another Sludge Bomb to prove its point. Machamp concedes that Weezing was correct and leaves the battle field.

 

Professor Oak is confused! He hurt himself in his confusion! Then he sends out Zapdos.

 

81EqIds3ZIL._AC_SX466_.jpg

 

Zapdos comes in with a mighty Drill Peck. Weezing's nearly out of HP, and having grown weary from the previous argument, it unleashes a Self Destruct! It does massive damage! Does anyone survive?
