Battle Details: Hello, Chuck, would you like to meet this bedraggled looking teenager with an angry expression? How about his team of cute and cuddly Pokémon? He's chosen this squad carefully to counter the gym team, and he hopes it's enough that he can go home for the holidays!
vs. Hitmonlee
First out is Selene the Sylveon, looking to really shine in battle this time. Luckily for her, she's female and Hitmonlee is male, so if he makes a contact move there's a 30% chance he'll become infatuated. If not, though, Kaiba chooses Baby Doll Eyes over Charm for the priority to make sure his Attack is dropped asap, then hits with Moonblast, and Draining Kiss for heals.
vs. Hitmonchan
Hitmonchan hits hard and has a number of coverage moves with the elemental punches, so Kaiba has to be the most careful about his choice here. Leizi resists Fighting and Hitmonchan lacks coverage moves against her weaknesses, so in the Raichu goes. She uses Charm first to drop that threatening Attack stat, then starts hammering with Psychic. His SpDef is a bit higher than she'd like, but she hopes to win the war.
vs. Poliwrath
It's finally time for Aura's first gym battle! The Altaria is nervous, but excited. She doesn't actually have a good Flying type move (he'll have to fix that), but due to STAB and supereffective calculations Pluck is still her best move, though she also has a non-STAB Moonblast to fall back on. Shame she can't mega yet.
Backups: He's also brought: Onimaru the Aegislash (65). He's normally immune to Fighting but they all have at least one coverage move against it, but he would attempt to time shields, then Aerial Ace, and Mothra the Mothim (70), who resists Fighting, is afraid of Hitmonchan's coverage moves, but can Air Slash and Psybeam the others.
