[Meta Thread] Dragonstrike's Pokerole Test Game: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

So, just for fun, let me give you guys the rundown on Candice's team structure now that everyone's mostly done facing her.

Her first pokemon is usually a weaker one.  Typically, they're a weaker version of one of the pokemon that will appear in her team later.  She usually uses this pokemon to gauge how powerful her opponent is.

Her second and third pokemon are flex spots.  She picks pokemon here based on which types her opponent has been using against her.

Her fourth and final pokemon is one of her three aces.  These three pokemon are capable of defeating entire teams of weaker pokemon by themselves (as they have the greatest move variety and the highest stats), and are typically holding a Sitrus Berry during the Gym Battle (like with most Gym Leaders in the Sinnoh Region).

Candice raises her pokemon to compensate for their weaknesses, particularly ones related to the Ice type.  She does her best to make the most of the type's strengths.  She likes to use a lot of type resist berries, and her pokemon tend to have more offensive strategies than defensive because of the exact nature of the Ice type.
