I agree! With that said, if Toxic Spikes from Drapion gets on the field and if Sceptile is out, it would give it a bit of trouble. Of course there’s Aegislash to take care of the move if it’s not been beaten before Drapion is out (while Salamence can fly and Clawitzer floats...although the latter still could still get affected by them if Drapion grabs him and slams Clawitzer on the ground). Sawyer would still win for sure imo albeit suffering from a bit of poison lolI don't think Paul has anything that can compete with Sceptile :/ Paul's strongest is Electivire which Sceptile's ability easily takes care of. I think this should be a clear but difficult win for Sawyer
Magmortar would lose against Clawtizer because of the type disadvantage, Clawitzer defeated Hawlucha + Noivern easily and had no trouble in easily beating Talonflame.Paul wins in a 6 on 6 full battle,the vast majority of his pokemon are just better trained compared to Sawyer's and Paul is the better battler/planner as well.The only real threat to Paul would be Sawyer's Sceptile in it's mega evolved form.The rest of his team would be a cakewalk,pokemon like Torterra,Magmortar,Ursaring,and Drapion can just breeze through most of his team.Sawyer's biggest chance at winning is in a 1 on 1 battle using his Sceptile in mega evolved form.
Literally what made you think that the rest of Sawyer's team are pushovers when there are powerhouses of Clawitzer and Slaking's calibre there?Sure Paul struggles with mega Sceptile, but the rest of Sawyer's team is getting getting stomped.
If anything Drapion would be the wall that Sawyer would have to endure.
I feel like these are the most likely outcomes in both scenarios.In a 1 vs 1 match, sawyer wins since paul has no ne who could beat MS, but in a 6 on 6 match paul wins it in close match.
I think they rather mean that Paul isn't actually familiar with what Mega Evolution is, so that might cause problems.If they're tacticians, wouldn't Paul research his opponent before the battle? I recall him doing the same in the SL. So I don't understand the "Paul has no knowledge of Mega Sceptile" argument.
I mean in that case Sawyer should also have knowledge of Paul’s Pokémon since he also researched his league opponents. Basically we could separately assess how a battle would go when both trainers are and aren’t given prep time (which would result in very different battles given the trainers we’re discussing). I do agree with your end result though (provided that Paul uses T.U.F.E.N.D).If they're tacticians, wouldn't Paul research his opponent before the battle? I recall him doing the same in the SL. So I don't understand the "Paul has no knowledge of Mega Sceptile" argument.
I think Paul would win tbh. Sawyer would give a tough fight, but I Think Paul edges him out
Was kicking the daylights out of the same Gliscor that later went on to deal the bulk of the damage on Drapion despite being at a massive type disadvantage (Gliscor had both a super-effective Fire Fang and a quad-effective Stone Edge whereas Ninjask was owning it with an nve Fury Cutter). It took a game changing move in underground Flare Blitz to finally hit Ninjask and cripple its speed and even after that Ninjask was still able to deal non-trivial damage on Infernape with an nve Giga Drain and Infernape still needed to concentrate in order to land another hit. Honestly I don’t think Magmortar and (especially) Honchkrow have done anything to suggest they could perform any better against the caliber of opponents Ninjask faced. Also Ninjask has great team synergy with Drapion since it can stall out Poisoned opponents with its incredible speed.N is Ninjask right? How is Ninjask in Paul's top 6 over Honchkrow and Magmortar? .-.
