Let's Play Pokémon Stadium 2, Poké Cup, Master Ball, Round 2 - Part 1

The toughest trainers in the stadium are awaiting our challenge. These trainers are no pushovers, and their movesets are tricky. Nevertheless, we must press onward! Battle 1: Pokefan Carmen Clefable (Encore, Return, Metronome, Moonlight *Quick Claw*) L55 Victreebel (Encore, Razor Leaf, Frustration, Sleep Powder *Miracle Seed*) L50 Golem (Body Slam, Explosion, Metronome, Rock Throw *Berry Juice*) L50 Dewgong (Encore, Icy Wind, Headbutt, Safeguard *Focus Band*) L50 Hypno (Hypnosis, Metronome, Fire Punch, Future Sight *King's Rock*) L55 Pilowswine (Ice Beam, Icy Wind, Earthquake, Hidden Power *Gold Berry*) L50 STRATEGY: Carmen's team loves to use Encore in order to lock you into using the same attack for five turns. Many of Carmen's Pokémon are vulnerable to Fighting attacks, so use them to get rid of Clefable, Piloswine and Golem. Battle 2: Youngster Wyatt Fearow (Scary Face, Drill Peck, Tri Attack, Mirror Move *Bitter Berry*) L52 Rhydon (Scary Face, Ice Beam, Rock Slide, Seismic Toss *Bright Powder*) L51 Tauros (Scary Face, Earthquake, Double-Edge, Thunderbolt *Focus Band*) L52 Feraligatr (Scary Face, Dig, Slash, Crunch *Pink Bow*) L51 Ariados (Scary Face, Psychic, Giga Drain, Night Shade *Quick Claw*) L52 Granbull (Scary Face, Crunch, Shadow Ball, Thunderpunch *Blackglasses*) L52 STRATEGY: Wyatt loves making scary faces, which means your speed will be reduced heavily. Tauros is the most dangerous member of his team with its high Speed and Attack, so once again Fighting attacks will help tremendously. Battle 3: Firebreather Cliff Charizard (Iron Tail, Belly Drum, Fire Blast, Hyper Beam *King's Rock*) L53 Nidoqueen (Blizzard, Fire Blast, Earthquake, Dynamicpunch *Gold Berry*) L51 Exeggutor (Sunny Day, Headbutt, Solarbeam, Synthesis *Focus Band*) L51 Typhlosion (Sunny Day, Dig, Reversal, Flamethrower *Bright Powder*) L53 Slowking (Surf, Psychic, Fire Blast, Shadow Ball *Leftovers*) L51 Blissey (Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Fire Blast, Thunderbolt *Quick Claw*) L51 STRATEGY: Cliff continues his Sunny Day strategy from the last tournament, but he uses stronger attacks. Charizard is a major threat with Belly Drum, but it sacrifices half of its HP in exchange for the massive Attack boost, so hit it with a strong attack before it slams you. Blissey is a pain as usual and both Nidoqueen and Slowking have massive type coverage. Battle 4: Biker Dillon Muk (Toxic, Protect, Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb *Poison Barb*) L55 Weezing (Haze, Explosion, Fire Blast, Sludge Bomb *Pink Bow*) L50 Vaporeon (Toxic, Bite, Haze, Surf *Leftovers*) L55 Ampharos (Toxic, Reflect, Body Slam, Thunderbolt *Focus Band*) L50 Skarmory (Toxic, Agility, Drill Peck, Steel Wing *Metal Coat*) L50 Miltank (Toxic, Body Slam, Earthquake, Shadow BalL *King's Rock*) L50 STRATEGY: Dillon is back, and packing more poison than ever. This time, he fights more aggressively, with attacks such as Earthquake and Fire Blast. Psychic attacks hep with Muk and Weezing, but bring an Electric Pokémon to deal with Vaporeon and Skarmory. Up next, the final four battles of the Stadium!
