in one battle though?
Assist spam. Tackle being the decisive blow. Fire Spin of all things being effective here. Standard bad contest episode.
What on earth are you talking about? Fire Spin is super-effective against an Ice type like Jynx. This was actually a believeable win for Skitty, unlike the first one against Dusclops.
Yeah, Fire Spin overpowering a Hyper Beam from Skitty followed up by a Tackle is truly believable.
Jynx was engulfed by the flames and finished off with a Tackle.
Not only was it a good win, but it also made the most sense as a strategy. There was no way Skitty would ever win otherwise, yet May knew that by reusing Assist she would eventually get to Fire Spin to finish off Jynx with.
It was planned from the beginning, hence May saying the attack over and the writers building up suspense, even with Max saying, "She's using the same attack?" and so forth.
Most pokemon get done with a considerable amount of damage from a supereffective attack. Jynx was in flames and you keep forgetting Jynx is an ice Pokemon. It was total believeable victory because it was planned to survive until Assist got the right move.
