Who do you think is going to be the "powerhouse" of this gym battle...

Like buizel was during Maylene and Crasher Wake
OR
Gliscor was during the canalave gym

i personally think its going to be grotle...evoling into torterra while battling Volkner's Luxray/Electivire depending on what team the writers choose.

(FINGERS CROSSED FOR LUXRAY!!!!!)

What do you guys think

Re: Star of The Sunny Shore Match

Oreburgh : Turtwig
Eterna : Aipom
Veilstone : Buizel and Staravia (minor)
Pastoria : Buizel and Pikachu
Hearthome : Chimchar
Canalave : Gliscor and Chimchar (minor)
Snowpoint : Chimchar
Sunyshore : ???

Number of gyms participated and starred in:

Pikachu : participated in 3 and starred in 1
Aipom : participated in 2 and starred in 1
Staraptor : participated in 3 and starred in 1
Grotle : participated in 4 and starred in 1
Buizel : participated in 4 and starred in 2
Infernape : participated in 4 and starred in 3
Gliscor : participated in 2 and starred in 1
Gible : participated in 0 and starred in 0

Staravia and Buizel not only have type disadvantage but have starred in their own battles enough. That leaves a team with Infernape, Grotle, Pikachu and Gible to be in that battle.

Infernape got a ton of spotlight during other gym battles and recently had an episode featuring his evolution and will probably be used in the Flint v Ash match, so I don't see it getting that much focus during the battle. I see Gible having a minor starring role in the battle, taking out one or two of Volkner's weaker pokemon. Now as for the star of the battle, Grotle or Pikachu... Depending on who's Volner's stronger pokemon, if it's Raichu, the writers will probably whip out the old and tired pikachu vs raichu pattern, so pikachu will star. If it's Luxray, I see Grotle starring and possibly evolving.

By the way, besides knocking out Roark's onix and Wake's Gyrados, Pikachu hasn't really done anything in Sinnoh gym battles.

Re: Star of The Sunny Shore Match

If Volkner stick's to his first team, then Staraptor and Buizel could be used due to the fact that while Ambipom and Octillery know electrical moves, they are not of that type, and after the ammount of punishment Staraptor took during the full battle with paul, i'm doubtful shock wave and Charge beam will take it down.

Overall though Pikachu will probably be the star of this one, it always seems to main event electrical gyms, although they could suprise us after all no one expected it get beaten by Roark's Onix either.

I just hope we don't have to see Pikachu vs Raichu again.
 
Re: Star of The Sunny Shore Match

Infernape should star over Pikachu. One Gym left, let Infernape win it.
 
Re: Star of The Sunny Shore Match

I get "as an Infernape it will only have one gym so let it win", but Chimchar got Fantina and Candice and it'll probably star in the League. Infernape will probably knock out something, but Pikachu or Grotle/Torterra will star here.

I'd agree if DP wasn't ending in a few months. Since Infernape is going to be Oak'd along with everything else, can we please give it proper screentime?

Sceptile deserved more major battles than it got, it will be a shame if Infernape doesn't get more.

well if thats your logic i could say the same thing about grotle/torterra. They will definetly be oaked soon and Grotle hasn't really done much since like the 2nd gym

Not counting loses to Candince and I think Wake....

Also i agree that Infernape will more likely than not star in the league.

Oh c'mon. The ape has already starred WAY too much in its previous forms, the three latest gyms for example (!).

Let somebody else get the glory this time.

I originally wanted Gliscor to star at Sunyshore, but that was before it left. :/
 
Re: Star of The Sunny Shore Match

I hope Fukamaru, Pikachu and Hayashigame star here. And Buoysel and Goukazaru/Mukuhawk(though I doubt Mukuhawk will fight Oba) fight against Oba. Besides Goukazaru will star against Shinji in league, right?

My opinion exactly. Gible needs to have a minor starring role in at least one gym. Buizel will probably be used in the Flint match with Infernape starring in that battle. Grotle defeated one of Candice's pokemon, as did Staraptor, so they got a minor starring role in a recent battle. Pikachu is the one who didn't do anything since Pastoria. My gut feeling tells me he'll be the star of the battle. The only thing derailing that scenario is a Grotle evolution.

Infernape is destined to star in the Paul match.
 
Re: Star of The Sunny Shore Match

Yeah, Gible should at least be used. I get the feeling though it may get KO'd quickly.

Snorunt's only Gym was Juan, and it got KO'd very quickly from a Hyperbeam at the beginning of the match.
 
Re: Star of The Sunny Shore Match

Gible needs some time to shine. I'm guessing that he'll be used in the fight and take out one of Volkner's Pokemon, but not do much more.

Grotle evolving would be a bit premature, especially given how Ash just got Infernape. I'm guessing that Infernape will be used and may very well star - it's very plausible that Infernape is going to be overused until the end of the saga. There's nothing preventing it from being the star of this match AND the match against Paul, which may still be some time off. Knowing Ash, he'll use his newly-evolved tank regardless.
 
Re: Star of The Sunny Shore Match

infernape, o man i love the fact tht monferno evolved :), anyway.....infernape already starred in like 5 gym battles, inclluding under pauls possession. Gible will hopefully master draco meteor during the battle against electrivire and defeat him and evolve into gabite? also grolte should do pretty deecent,since grass is good against electric types. and hopefully buizel gets involved in the gym battle even tho hes at a disadvantage
 
Re: Who do you think is goign to be the star of the Sunyshore match?

Its going to be Pikachu's battle against another Raichu again.
 
Re: Who do you think is goign to be the star of the Sunyshore match?

I don't think Gible will be the star of this gym. Remember, Snorunt had similar problems in Advanced Generation (unable to control its Ice Beam). It was used by Ash in the eighth gym battle against Juan and was defeated. The same thing could happen with Gible; it tries to use Draco Meteor, misses, and ends up being KO'd.
My vote is tied between Pikachu or Infernape. Assuming Raichu is the main star of this battle (instead of Luxray [D&P] or Electivire [Platinum]), it will probably be Pikachu. Meanwhile, Infernape just evolved and Flint is going to use one in his battle against Ash.
I can't see Staraptor or Buizel being used for this gym battle, unless of course Volkner uses his Diamond and Pearl team. However, I won't be surprised if they end up being used anyway. Ash used Gliscor, Staraptor, and Grotle (three pokemon weak against ice attacks) against Candice. This is especially attributed in that Buizel learned Ice Punch a few episodes back.
 
Re: Who do you think is goign to be the star of the Sunyshore match?

It'd be nice if it were a Double Battle between Pikachu and Infernape vs Luxray and Raichu. That'd be pretty interesting.
