Falkner:
Psyduck/Brie Lv. 11
Moves: Water Gun, Tail Whip, Scratch, Water Sport
Mr. Mime/ The Joker Lv. 11
Moves: Confusion, Barrier, Guard Swap, Copycat
Commentary: Continuing with the tradition, I named Psyduck after a type of cheese and Mr. Mime after a Batman villain. Anyways, its been a while since I've last played a Johto game, but I'm starting to remember why I took the long hiatus from them. Not to bash on the game, overall it's great, it just isn't a favorite of mine.
Bugsy:
Psyduck/Brie Lv. 20
Moves: Water gun, scratch, Confusion, Tail Whip
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 20
Moves: Confusion, Double Slap, Barrier, Copycat
Commentary: Now I DEFINITELY remember why I do not like this game. The grinding is horrendous and took over an hour to get both of them to level 18. Thankfully the gyms can steer them in the right direction faster with their abundance of exp. which is why they both went up 2 levels. Also, this is the first time I have ever had one of the duo faint. After getting a Barrier up, Scyther critted Mr. Mime and got a OHKO with U-Turn leaving Psyduck alone for the entire battle.
Whitney:
Psyduck/Brie Lv. 24
Moves: Water Pulse, Ice Beam, Confusion, Headbutt
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 22
Moves: Confusion, Thunderbolt, Light Screen, Barrier
Commentary: Not too difficult. Mr. Mime's barrier comes in handy at stopping heavy hitters like Miltank this early on. NOTE: This is why the log was so late, as I spent hours trying to get Thunderbolt and Ice Beam for the two.
Morty:
Psyduck Lv. 28 Moves: Water Pulse, Ice Beam, Confusion, Headbutt
Mr. Mime Lv. 29 Moves: Psybeam, IB, LS, BARRIER
Chuck:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 34
Moves: Confusion, Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 32
Moves: Psybeam, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: Mr. Mime OP. A single Barrier wasn't even necessary as Mr. Mime OHKO'd both Primeape and Poliwrath. He is truly the sweeper of the duo.
Jasmine:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 35
Moves: Confusion, Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 32
Moves: Psybeam, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: Golduck finally had his chance to clear a gym by himself. OHKO on everybody with Surf. I'd say he's the bulkier of the duo.
Pryce:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 41
Moves: Confusion, Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 40
Moves: Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: Not a challenge at all. Easily destroyed with Surf for Piloswine and Thunderbolt for everything else in the gym. I've also noticed how much easier and more balanced levels are in this game when it's just a team of two.
Clair:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 46
Moves: Confusion, Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 47
Moves: Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: Another Golduck sweep. Ice Beam really wrecked house and got insanely lucky on Kingdra. Freezed the first turn, second turn was bland, third turn I hit with Headbutt and got the flinch as Kingdra thawed out, froze with Ice Beam AGAIN as she healed, and got crit Ice Beam the next turn to bring home victory. Sometimes the RNGods just look down and smile.
E4/Champ:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 51
Moves: Confusion, Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 53
Moves: Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary:
Will: Nothing too special. He got lucky with Confuse Ray hax at the beginning on Mr. Mime, but Mr. Mime pulled through and swept with Shadow Ball.
Koga: Almost embarrassing how easy he was. Psychic OHKO'd his entire team and took less than 5 minutes to sweep.
Bruno: A little higher than Will level difficulty. Confusion from Golduck didn't get the KO on Hitmonlee so some HP was lost, but a switch to Mr. Mime easy cleaned the rest of his team.
Clair: Probably the hardest out of the entire E4+Champion. I had nothing to stop Umbreon from setting up, so it took well over 10 minutes trying to hit it after 6 Double Teams. Eventually pulled through and got the sweep with Mr. Mime. Thankfully, the rest of her team either died to Psychic and Thunderbolt from Mr. Mime, or Surf from Golduck.
Lance: Pathetically easy. Thunderbolted Gyarados and swept with Ice Beam from Golduck. OHKO on everything.
POST E4: NOTE: They will be out of order from their actual positions, as I fought/fight them as I find their gym. For example, Lt. Surge is first because he's the first Kanto gym leader I fought, even though Brock would normally be the first gym leader of Kanto.
Lt. Surge:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 51
Moves: Confusion, Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 55
Moves: Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: First gym leader of Kanto! Yay progress! I definitely was not expecting such high levels from his team and they took me off guard, but Mr. Mime came through with a nice sweep at the end.
Sabrina:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 51
Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt, Psychic
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 57
Moves: Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: I've finally found the TM for Psychic! Oddly enough, Mr. Psychic is now a fisherman in this game... Anyway, I feel bad for there being such a huge gap in levels between Golduck and Mr. Mime. Mr. Mime was the clear sweeper, but I had to switch to Golduck after Sabrina's Mr. Mime mimic'd my Shadow Ball and made me eat a crit one in return. Surfed his way right into victory.
Erika:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 57
Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt, Psychic
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 57
Moves: Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: I felt bad after seeing the huge gap between Golduck and Mr. Mime in levels, so I decided to grind Golduck up about 5 levels to be closer to Mr. Mime. Golduck got a surprising amount of KOs in there with Ice Beam and swept Erika's entire team by himself. Not bad.
Janine:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 59
Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt, Psychic
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 57
Moves: Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: Somehow she managed to be even easier than Koga in the Elite Four. Golduck swept with Psychic and made her look like a fool. That's what you get for using two Ariados, Janine. They suck, just like you.
Misty:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 59
Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt, Psychic
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 60
Moves: Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: Pretty much self explanatory with Mr. Mime's Thunderbolt. Swept her team and used Psychic on Quagsire.
Brock:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 62
Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt, Psychic
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 60
Moves: Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: This, too, was very easy with Golduck's Surf. He even managed to OHKO Omastar and Kabutops. Looks like he's a higher level now than Mr. Mime! Oh how the tables have turned!
Blaine:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 64
Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt, Psychic
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 60
Moves: Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: Another perfect Golduck sweep. Surf was a OHKO on everybody.
Blue:
Golduck/Brie Lv. 65
Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Headbutt, Psychic
Mr. Mime/The Joker Lv. 61
Moves: Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Barrier
Commentary: Surprisingly more difficult than I expected. Really underestimated Exeggutor and thought I could KO with Ice Beam. NOPE. Leaf Storm was a OHKO and forced me to switch to Mr. Mime. Swept pretty easily afterwards aside from Arcanine.
