The Twin Pillars (Post Battle Discussion)

That was a great battle. I really enjoyed it! You had some clever strategies that definitely helped you earn your way to another victory here at Gemini. I made a few mistakes myself like trying to get your 18.6's ability when I already had the same one. No wonder it didn't work lol. Oh well. Even gym leaders learn some new things every now and then ^^' That explosion at the beginning threw you into a corner. Be careful about things like intimidates, especially two of them. An explosion's power can really be cut down after that! Otherwise, you battled well and did a fine job. Impressive teamwork. Congrats on earning your shiny badge

This was a tough battle for me because your team consisted of some very powerful pokemon. As soon as I saw your leads I was pretty scared lol. It was a good first try, but as you mentioned, your team wasn't really meant for double battles as far I could tell.

You had good strategy setting up your defenses in the beginning. That's always a good thing to do in double battles. Making use of the screen moves is a good tactic. You made some good predictions as well, such as switching in your water type to take advantage of my surf. However, one mistake you made is also using surf to heal one of my pokemon. Try and becareful about your opponent's abilities in future battles lol I think once you make the necessary modifications to your current team, or make a new team if you wish, you'll do better.

I think you're a good battler but the doubles enviroment was just new to you. Try and reflect on some of the moves I used in our battle and how I used certain pokemon and their abilities to work together. In addition, if you want, you can read my blog titled "The Dynamic Duo" which outlines some strategies I've written concerning double battling. I believe that will be helpful to you. You may rechallenge after a week. Good luck in your rematch!

That was definitely an intense match that left me on edge. It seems challengers are definitely learning some new tricks and techniques when they come back for rematches. I'm glad about that Let's see. Your leads scared the bajeepers (is that a word? lol) out of me! I knew I was in for trouble. Good thinking pairing a physical attacker with a special one. That is definitely something that works well in double battling. You used your pokemon more effectively in this battle compared to the previous ones. Those two crits you got me really hurt me. I was hoping my grass type would hang in there a bit more but you were able to finish her off in the end I know it's taken you a while to earn this badge, but your efforts surely paid off. I am please to award you your Gemini badge!

Thanks! That was a ton of fun...and again I should thank Whitdjinn for the amazing pokemon again, as it was them that make up the bulk of my team.

I am so glad that I got those crits, i might have lost to that one pokemon (can't think of name, randomly gives it nickname of "waterfall")

Also, me putting the leads together was more of just because i wanted that one pokemon, whose name also escapes me at this time (begins with an "F" i believe) asleep as i figured i'd have troubles with him.

I'm not sure what else to say but great game Paiopa!

EDIT: I just realized that the bulk of my team wasn't done by whit...it was actually shared by him and I and then i had two others from other people (thanks you two who don't know who you are )

Wow, another hard battle that really left me thinking! I should have known your lead was going to use earthquake, but I was hoping I would have been able to take it out with poison jab. Nice strategy using earthquake while having your partner be a flying type. That fire punch also hurt my grass type big time. I was not expecting that move and it definitely caught me off guard. Your team members were well balanced and performed well. Those two crits really hurt me. I seem to be getting critted upon alot tonight lol. Nicely played and congrats on being the second member to earn a shiny Gemini Badge.

Thanks, you put up a great battle. I actualy made the mistake of using a move and eneded up restoring your hp instead of KOing you lead. I wasn't even expecting to win, you are right, those crits saved me big time. Good game and thanks for the shiny badge.

Oh yeah I forgot about you leading Froku LOL. That was definitely a life saver but in the end it didn't even matter
