Mailbag showdown pokemon
A Mailbag Showdown in Pokémon!
In a Mailbag Showdown, two trainers send their Pokémon through the mail to battle each other. The twist is that the trainers don't know what Pokémon their opponent has sent until the battle begins.
Here's how it works:
- Trainers send their Pokémon through the mail to each other.
- The trainers don't know what Pokémon their opponent has sent until the battle begins.
- The battle takes place, and the trainers make decisions based on the Pokémon they have sent.
- The trainer who wins the battle gets to keep both Pokémon.
Let's imagine a Mailbag Showdown between two trainers, Alex and Ben.
Alex sends the following Pokémon through the mail:
- Pikachu (Level 15)
- Charmander (Level 12)
Ben sends the following Pokémon through the mail:
*???
The battle begins, and Alex sends out Pikachu first. Ben responds by sending out... a Squirtle (Level 10)!
The battle is on!
Turn 1:
- Pikachu uses Thunder Shock on Squirtle (12 damage)
- Squirtle uses Tackle on Pikachu (8 damage)
Turn 2:
- Pikachu uses Quick Attack on Squirtle (15 damage)
- Squirtle uses Withdraw to retreat into its shell
Turn 3:
- Pikachu uses Thunder Wave on Squirtle (paralyzing it)
- Squirtle tries to use Withdraw again, but is unable due to paralysis
Turn 4:
- Pikachu uses Thunder Shock on Squirtle (12 damage)
- Squirtle is unable to move due to paralysis
Pikachu wins the battle! Alex gets to keep both Pokémon.
But wait, what's this? Ben has sent a second Pokémon through the mail...
*???
It's a Jolteon (Level 15)!
The battle continues...
What do you think will happen next?
