It may be Season M-2 now (no change in available Pokémon, hold items, stages, and such, but the freebies are different, but I still have a few Season M-A videos to go through, and then we can start on Season M-2 proper. I have three more scheduled, which means I estimate four videos for Season M-2 for this week.
The daily missions mean I have a lot of battles to go through!
00:00 - Battle #1
Type: Single Battle
Opponent: jhonraf
Battle Court: Battle Arena
Music: Trainer (Let’s Go! Pikachu & Eevee)
My Pokémon: Shirley (Meowstic) (Female), Samantha (Toucannon), Victoria (Victreebel)
Opponent’s Pokémon: La toxica (Toxapex), Manectric, Infernape
This one was a tricky one because after Toxapex, they had super-fast Pokémon out that could outrun even Mega Meowstic. I am very familiar with how Mega Manectric works, although things would be a bit different in a single battle rather than a double battle, and I know not to underestimate that base 135 Speed. It needed a multi-Pokémon effort to make sure my Pokémon didn’t just fall one by one to Mega Manectric’s very high Speed and Sp. Attack, considering even Volt Switch nearly knocked out Mega Meowstic. (Mega Meowstic really needs a better Ability than Trace.)
Raging Fury is a move given to Infernape in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. It funcions much like Outrage, only Fire-type.
“La toxica” is Spanish for “The Poisonous One.” I have also seen it as slang to refer to someone, but I don’t fully understand what it means or whom it would refer to.
The music that plays in this match is the one you get from the starter pack.
04:14 - Battle #2
Type: Single Battle
Opponent: hak
Battle Court: Battle Arena
Music: Trainer (Legends: Z-A)
My Pokémon: Forrest (Forretress), Victoria (Victreebel), Dolores (Basculegion) (Female)
Opponent’s Pokémon: Charizard, Gengar, Primarina
I’ve been really bad at guessing who they’ll bring out if I pick Forrest (Forretress) first. He is the Pokémon on this team I send out in the lead most seldomly, but more often than it, it’s something packing special Fire attacks. In response to that, I gave him Stone Edge, meant for Mega Charizard Y in particular.
You can also see that by sending out Victoria (Victreebel) second, I get leverage through Innards Out. My opponents know that if they knock it out, they lose HP, and if their last Pokémon faints through Innards Out, I win. It probably surprises a lot of people that she has Sucker Punch. That big bouncing overflowing pouch does not look like something that can learn Sucker Punch, but this is my way of landing a two-hit KO on Gengar. Or that it’s faster than Primarina.
07:10 - Battle #3
Type: Single Battle
Opponent: だいふく (Daifuku)
Battle Court: Battle Arena
Music: Trainer (Diamond & Pearl)
My Pokémon: Dolores (Basculegion) (Female), Victoria (Victreebel), Rex (Tyrantrum)
Opponent’s Pokémon: Polteageist, Lucario, ?
I’ve seen this before. If Polteageist shows up at the start, its game plan is to use Shell Smash, with the stat drops mitigated by White Herb, then use Baton Pass to sent out something and hope it’s unstoppable. The weakest link here is Polteageist itself: if you know what’s coming, you can pick something that can defeat Polteageist in one hit and take it out before it uses Baton Pass. It’s not the sturdiest Pokémon.
I did exactly that, and my opponent seemed to be too shocked to do much else afterwards.
Daifuku is a mochi dessert with sweet red bea filling.
15:09 - Battle #4
Type: Single Battle
Opponent: Ryz
Battle Court: Battle Arena
Music: Trainer (Red & Blue)
My Pokémon: Dolores (Basculegion) (Female), Forretress (Forrest), Victoria (Victreebel)
Opponent’s Pokémon: Kleavor, Archaludon, Kenpachi (Tyranitar)
I kind of forgot Archaludon can have Sturdy. I’m so used to Stamina and Stalwart. And just when I could pull of what would otherwise be a on-hit knockout on Archaludon.
This battle, having begun with a Pokémon from Hisui on both sides, is the namesake of this video.
Tyranitar’s nickname of Kenpachi as a likely reference to the Bleach character Kenpachi Zaraki.
