Winona is scary, for pretty much one single reason. But before we get to that, let's look at her other Pokémon first. | |||
{{bp|Swellow}} is level 31, Normal/Flying type, and holds the ability {{bpi|Guts}} (Attack is increased by 50% if the ability holder is afflicted with a status condition). As for moves, Swellow has {{bpm|Quick Attack}}, {{bpm|Aerial Ace}}, {{bpm|Double Team}}, and {{bpm|Endeavor}}. You won't outspeed it unless you also have a high-speed Pokémon like {{bp|Manectric}}. However, it's highly likely that it'll use Double Team right off the bat, so you should have time to charge up a two-turn move and one-shot it. | |||
{{bp|Pelipper}} is level 30, Water/Flying type, and holds the ability {{bpi|Keen Eye}} (Any accuracy-reducing move does not affect it). For moves, it has {{bpm|Water Gun}}, {{bpm|Supersonic}}, {{bpm|Protect}}, and {{bpm|Aerial Ace}}. It'll probably spam Supersonic and Protect for most of the time it's out to make you waste your moves and damage yourself, throwing in a random Water Gun or Aerial Ace to do STAB damage. Though it has one glaring weakness: It is 4x weak to Electric, so pretty much any Electric attacking move on an Electric type Pokémon will delete it... if it gets hit. | |||
{{bp|Skarmory}} is level 32, Steel/Flying type, and also has the ability Keen Eye. Its moves are {{bpm|Sand-Attack}}, {{bpm|Fury Attack}}, {{bpm|Steel Wing}}, and {{bpm|Aerial Ace}}. Sand-Attack will be an annoyance, as it reduces your accuracy, and Steel Wing and Aerial Ace benefit from STAB, so Skarmory will be able to hurt your team pretty badly if your Pokémon are weak to Steel or Flying. One grace with it, however, is that Fury Attack is almost useless with its 15 Power. | |||
And finally, we get to that single reason: {{bp|Altaria}}. This cloud Pokémon is level 33, is Dragon/Flying, and has the ability {{bp|Natural Cure}} (heals any afflicted status conditions upon switching out). It's moves are {{bpm|Earthquake}}, {{bpm|Dragon Breath}}, {{bpm|Dragon Dance}}, and {{bpm|Aerial Ace}}. Dragon Dance always does 40 HP of damage, regardless of resistances or weaknesses, so there's not much else to say about that. And while Aerial Ace does benefit from STAB and Dragon Dance, it rarely gets used, so is more of an annoyance than anything else. Where the ''real'' danger comes from is Altaria's two other moves: Dragon Dance and Earthquake. Altaria will always open up with two Dragon Dances, which both raise its attack and speed stats by one point. Combining this with Earthquake's intrinsic lethality results in a combo that will OHKO almost every Pokémon you could have attained at this point. To add ontop of that, the type combination of Dragon/Flying results in her having the following weaknesses: Ice, Rock, and Dragon. Since there's absolutely no way you could've gotten a Pokémon with Ice or Dragon type moves at this point, your only option is Rock type. Prepare to be in for a beatdown. | |||
