Champion Rival Battle - The Final Rival Battle!

Rival's Team:

Heracross
Lv. 72
Ability: Swarm
Type: Bug/Fighting
Attacks: Megahorn, Rock Tomb, Earthquake, Counter
Notes: This is roughly what a competitive Heracross looks like. Badass, eh? Megahorn
on Heracross gets STAB, and is the most powerful Bug attack in the game at
120 base power. With high accuracy, that move can freaking demolish a team.
However, it has a four times weakness to Flying-types and a weakness to
Psychic types. Do as
you wish to quickly end Heracross.

Tyranitar
Lv. 72
Ability: Sand Stream
Type: Rock/Dark
Attacks: Crunch, Earthquake, Aerial Ace, Thunderbolt
Notes: Well, Aerial Ace I'm not so sure on. He can't fly. Seriously, look at this
monster. How does he do it? Anyways, Tyranitar is a real beast but not so
much whilst on Gary's team. Sand Stream causes a Sandstorm effect right away,
lasting forever until another weather effect is put into play. Sandstorm
hurts those that aren't Rock, Steel, or Ground. Sorry. Tyranitar has a 4X
weakness on Fighting moves. Don't send out a Fighting-type itself though, Aerial
Ace will make short work of it. Thunderbolt owns Water-types too which has
a weakness on T'Tar too.

Alakazam
Lv. 73
Ability: Synchronize
Type: Psychic
Attacks: Psychic, Shadow Ball, Calm Mind, Reflect
Notes: Alakazam has the potential to set up with Calm Mind, but its low defenses make it susceptible to physical attacks.

Gyarados
Lv. 73
Ability: Intimidate
Type: Water/Flying
Attacks: Earthquake, Hydro Pump, Hyper Beam, Dragon Dance
Notes: Gyarados utilizes Dragon Dance to boost its stats. Electric-type moves are highly effective against it.

Exeggutor
Lv. 73
Ability: Chlorophyll
Type: Grass/Psychic
Attacks: Giga Drain, Psychic, Sleep Powder, Light Screen
Notes: Exeggutor's 4x Bug weakness makes it vulnerable. Ice or Fire-type moves are effective against it.

Arcanine
Lv. 73
Ability: Intimidate
Type: Fire
Attacks: Overheat, Extremespeed, Iron Tail, Aerial Ace
Notes: Overheat lowers Arcanine's Special Attack after use. Rock-type moves are super effective against it.

Venusaur
Lv. 75
Ability: Overgrow
Type: Grass/Poison
Attacks: Solarbeam, Earthquake, Sludge Bomb, Sunny Day
Notes: Venusaur starts with Sunny Day to power up Solarbeam. Fire-type moves are more effective due to the sunny weather.

Charizard
Lv. 75
Ability: Blaze
Type: Fire/Flying
Attacks: Fire Blast, Aerial Ace, Dragon Claw, Earthquake
Notes: Rock-type moves are super effective against Charizard. Watch out for the powerful Fire Blast.

Blastoise
Lv. 75
Ability: Torrent
Type: Water
Attacks: Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Earthquake, Rain Dance
Notes: Blastoise initiates Rain Dance to boost the accuracy of Water-type moves. Electric-type moves are highly effective.
