Veteran Shaun wants a new challenge and try to win Kalos League.

Lol anyone can be Diantha

NPC vs NPC? Anything can happen really.

>>26984610
This. They'll both end up using their shitty AI and one will beat the other based entirely on luck.

Pair him up with post-game Wally.

Excadrill kills Aurorus and Tyrantrum
Crobat kills Gourgeist and Hawlucha
Gyarados kills Goodra (Blizzard)
Whoever's left throws everything they have at Gardevoir

He would have a pretty easy go at it imo

Someone should try to fight her with this exact team. Could be cool.

Could probably just do it with Gyarados and Excadrill, really.

>>26984588
I like the idea of this thread. If we're assuming they fight like NPCs (no switching unless a Pokemon faints):

>Gyardos vs Halucha
Unless there's some ridiculous hax, Gyarados wins this.

I think the Mega is always used last, so Gardevoir can't be brought out yet. I'm guessing Tyrantrum comes in next

>Gyarados vs Tyrantrum
Gyarados can get a Blizzard off before fainting, assuming it hits.

Shaun kind of has to bring in Gigalith here. Gigalith can easily live an eq (or Head Smash), even without Sturdy.

Gigalith vs. Tyrantrum
Gigalith takes a good amount of damage, KOs with Earthquake.

>Gigalith vs Gourgeist
Dead Gigalith. Gourgeist might not be able to eq with a single Seed Bomb, but Gigalith does piddling damage anyways.

>Crobat vs. Crobat
If these are Gen VI mechanics, Crobat should probably try to land a Poison Fang. Gourgeist's best option is a Trick-or-Treat + Phantom Force, so if Crobat can get a turn 1 or 2 Toxic, that would be grand. Then just follow up with Air Slash.

>Crobat vs Aurorus
U-turn out, incoming Snorlax takes a bit of damage off Blizzard. Heavy Slam is probably a 2HKO, so Snorlax likely lives long enough. If Diantha's smart, she'll set up Reflect.

>Snorlax vs Goodra
One Focus Blast should take out Snorlax now.

>Crobat vs Goodra
Crobat might have decent damage on it by now, but hopefully it can land a Toxic with Poison Fang, or just hit it with a Return.

>Excadrill vs. Goodra
If Reflect is up, this goes to Goodra. Either way, though, Excadrill is dying quickly to two Focus Blasts/Muddy Waters/Fire Blasts. And if it doesn't die, Gardevoir comes in and hits with Shadow Ball for a 2 or 3HKO. With Reflect up, Excadrill can't do enough damage to Gardevoir. To bad it doesn't carry Iron Head.

Ultimatley, I think Diantha wins this one.

>>26984763
Shit, just realized I didn't put in Druddigon. It would have to come in after Excadrill, and it's as good as dead by then. Either Goodra or Mega Gardevoir put the hurt on it.

>>26984763
>Shaun kind of has to bring in Gigalith here
Wrong. He can use Excadrill and KO Tyrantrum( who is weakened by Gyarados). From there is an easy victory for Shaun as long as Snorlax survive to fight Mega Gardevoir

>Veteran shaun

literally who?

>>26984843
Good point, but you would need to rewrite the scenario to see if he wins in the end.

>>26984863
>Diantha

literally who?

>>26984910
A champion.

Literally nobody knows who Veteran Shaun is, unless you went out of your way to find him.

>>26984588
Is there some kind of automatic simulator we can try this with?

>>26984763
>One Focus Blast should take out Snorlax now.
Assuming perfect IVs, neutral natures, and no EVs for both
0 SpA Aurorus Blizzard vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Snorlax: 76-90 (26.2 - 31.1%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
0 SpA Goodra Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Snorlax: 124-146 (42.9 - 50.5%) -- 1.2% chance to 2HKO
0 SpA Goodra Dragon Pulse vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Snorlax: 64-76 (22.1 - 26.2%) -- 8% chance to 4HKO
0 SpA Goodra Dragon Pulse vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Druddigon: 152-182 (81.7 - 97.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

If Diantha goes for Reflect, Snorlax survives one Focus Blast and probably deals enough damage to allow Druddigon to finish Goodra. If she doesn't, Outrage's damage isn't mitigated and it still oneshots Goodra. The only way for Goodra to survive the encounter with Druddigon is if Aurorus sets up Reflect and both Blizzard and Focus Blast connect. And even if that happens it gets outsped and probably KOd by Excadrill anyway, since unless I'm miscounting Reflect is gone by the time he comes out.

>>26984971
I'll build Shaun in Showdown if somebody wants to build Diantha.

This thread is some new level of autism.

>>26984971
There are ways to build battle bots on Showdown, I just have no knowledge of how it works.

>>26984863
Like Youngster Joey, this is another well known NPC Trainer. He is known because is one of the very few NPC that have a full team (six Pokémon) outside of facilities, also because if you challenge him unprepared you will have a hard time beating his team.

In B/W he is found on Challenger's Cave on Route 9.

In B2/W2 he is found on Wellspring Cave.

>>26985077
Fuck you, this thread is great.

>>26984635
this is how I beat dianthe with my Aurorus
except ice beam and earthquake with an ice type hyper beam at the end

Currently building test teams.
What kind of Gourgeist does she have?

Final round.

>>26985626
How's it going

>>26985626
Diantha won Match 1 and Shaun won Match 2, so we would need a third Match, but we can sefely say that their team are on same level of strenght

>>26985729
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-395759919
Final match won by Diantha.
Like >>26985751 said, they're pretty even and it could go either way, but Diantha won best 2 out of 3.

>>26985799
Don't forget that she's higher leveled in a game made around an exp share too

This was a cool thread though

>>26985729
>>26985799
Switching out for any reason other than accidentally via u-turn is haram.

Shaun would never switch a Gigalith in on Tyrantrum when he's weak to Ground (Excadrill) and Dragon (Druddigon). He'd Outrage immediately

>>26985851
Rock resists Poison, Flying, and Normal so he would almost definitely use U-Turn on a Rock type.
The Gigalith point is fair though. Although I only went to Gigalith on that one match, which coincidentally was the match he won.

Hmmm, this looks like a nice thread...
It would be a shame that a tripfag...
RUINED IT, AMIRITE?

>>26986015
The threads over

>>26986035
Your welcome.

CONCLUSIONS
>Diantha and Shaun teams are pretty much even, despite Shaun being underleveled and not having a Mega
>Diantha would win most of the time thanks to Reflect and Light Screen( as evidenced by the simulations run here >>26985626 >>26985799 thank you btw)
Can we all agree on these?

>>26984863
>>26984910
>>26984942
that word yet AGAIN

>>26986046
I wonder how it would be if the movesets on Shaun's pokemon weren't retarded

Conclusion: if Shaun leveled his Pokemon a bit on the way to Diantha he'd win.

>>26986056

There's that level 35 Volcarona in the ruins.

>>26989113
Neat

>>26984588

His only, literally ONLY disadvantage is the lack of a mega evolution.

Excadrill alone would rape her team alive.

>>26991194
Assuming his team order doesn't change Mega Gyarados is actually worse against Hawlucha.
