Battle Bracket (Round 1 Pairing 2)

Hades0918 · November 2

So in case you haven't seen Lopunny beat Cinderace, six to two

I'm figuring some stuff out still, so this pairing will be another hand select one

Meowscarada versus Inteleon

I feel like it seems obvious who would win, but I have some specific reasons that I think that could be wrong

I'll find out of I'm right after I do my research

Anyways, let me at least say why I think this is an interesting pair

If they were to battle in real life, Meowscarada's Flower Trick would still not miss, but Inteleon has perfect aim, so it could just Snipe Shot the flowers before they hit and then hit Meowscarada

It just seems like in real life Inteleon could counter

Who would win?

Three days to vote

Enjoy!

While this seems like a close battle at first, since Inteleon can learn some Ice, Flying, and even some Bug type moves (though all the Bug type ones are physical and Inteleon is far from being a physical attacker), Meowscarada has a higher speed stat and can use Expert Belt or Choice Band Flower Trick. Of course, Inteleon could use Choice Scarf Ice Beam or Blizzard, but Meowscarada can also use a Choice Scarf. I vote for Meowscarada.

meowscarada has a super effective move that gets same type bonus that always crits

Inteleon.

in a 1v1 Meowscarada. Inteleon might win once if it G-Max but IDK

So here was my thought process before looking at stats

Inteleon Gigantamaxes, uses Max Hailstorm, Max Airstream, and Max Flutterby

Whatever Meowscarada uses it can tank with the Max buffs

But then I remembered Terrastylization

Meowscarada could just change its type and take less damage from these

But I started thinking more

Anything can Terra or Max, so it's hard to say now

Inteleon could change to a Bug type

Meowscarada could become Electric

Meowscarada could Max and use Max Overgrow and Max Lightning

They could literally change everything

Plus, Meowscarada had Protean as an option

Use a move that's the type an Inteleon has no way of advantaging over and Inteleon just does neutral while Meowscarada can still use super effective moves that just don't have the same type attack bonus any more

Then I actually saw the stats and I'm positive Meoscarada wins

I'm going to give until tomorrow 3:30 AM UTC to let others vote

(If you saw this before I edited, I thought it had already ben three days)
