You VS a Pokemon
 
Pokemon are powerful. It's normal for them to do things like have a body temperature of 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit, or generate ultrasonic waves that can blow apart a house, or have the power to stop a train with a slap. So, yeah, you VS most Pokemon = an easy win for that Pokemon.

Name one you think you could win against, though. And name one that you'd lose to, but just barely, like it wouldn't be easy for the Pokemon either.

i could probably beat any small bug type with... my foot, obviously they're bugs what can they even do besides spit string at me LOL

And a Pokemon I'd just barely lose to? Probably any first route Pokemon because they're not that strong. Most normal types are just basic. But only the pure normal types, any with any other types I'd just lose to immediately.

I could take a pin and deflate a Jigglypuff.

getting mad "Ash vs Mewtwo from the first movie" vibes from this thread when he tried to throw hands vs Mewtwo

still cant get that out of my head lmaooo

but uhhh i think i can take on any like...pre-evolved fighting type. you may think that this is an unfair advantage, but even pre-evolved fighting types are pretty damn strong sooo

I could probably beat a Sunkern?

Never underestimate the strength of a Pokemon! It's more than just numbers.

I could probably beat a Metapod. But a Magikarp would probably be impossible; all that uncontrollable splashing and stuff...it's actually a lot more tiring than one would imagine.

Pretty much all the cocoon Pokemon can only spam Harden. Pretty sure I could win by just picking it up and tossing it someplace it can't handle xD

Tempted to go with Ditto for the other. It would transform into me after all, the odds are pretty much even!

Yeah this seems really accurate.

I suppose, as long as it didn't see you coming and start singing.

I don't even think I could take on any Fighting-types. Even first-stage. It's their type, it's what they do. As a human, if I had to assign myself a type, it would probably be Normal, and we all know how a Normal vs Fighting matchup typically goes. Not well for the Normal.

I like the question mark at the end like even in Sunkern's case you're not totally sure.

Both of these answers are very clever.

yeah us humans are pretty weak, and i really misspoke when i said "any" fighting-type, because i sure as hell cant take a machop lmao

Venusaur's_Leaf_Company November 12th, 2021 3:28 PM

Metapod doesn't stand a chance against me!

Sheep November 13th, 2021 2:59 AM

I...actually don't think I'll be able to beat any? Except maybe small and slow ones that I can outspeed and capture before they can do anything to me (like Caterpie). Then again I wonder if a human like me could compare to Caterpie's 45 base speed......

Corveone November 13th, 2021 12:32 PM

I could beat Rhydon, as long as I have a bottle of water at hand.

Devalue November 14th, 2021 1:53 PM

Smashes Magikarp easily enough. Outruns Munchlax's waddling speed for a victory.

Automatically loses to any Ghost, Fighting, Psychic, Rock, and Steel type. Cannot hope to even scratch them.

Hm. Depends on the circumstances versus Trapinch. Feels confident with a nearby stick. Absolutely loses upon stepping into its sand pit blindly.

Names Zubat for a narrow loss. Would be in trouble after one successful Poison Fang. Gives it a solid swat in the process, however.

Geewithabee November 14th, 2021 3:27 PM

Me versus Wishiwashi. In one version I easily win because it doesn't use its Schooling ability. In another version I am soundly defeated because it does use the ability.

How will you capture such a small and probably agile fish though! And what if it uses something crazy like Water Pulse? :O

as you can see I have no confidence in myself

TepigLover101 November 15th, 2021 6:14 AM

i would crush snom easily, and I would have a very hard time hurting a shinx, seeing as its my favorite pokemon, and the last thing I want is to hurt it

Jiggykoopbob November 17th, 2021 12:06 AM

I could try to defeat a Shroomish in battle. I'll try to squash it like a Goomba. (Even though i am one myself here on this forum).

Humans fighting against Pokémon is something Game Freak should maybe consider. (To be fair, James has actually fought a Toxapex all by himself in the anime once.)

I feel like I remember reading a manga where the kids were standing at the edge of a lake watching Bruno out there on the water doing his training, and he was fighting, like, several Gyarados at once, punching them right in their faces, avoiding their Hyper Beams, and somehow remaining airborne the whole time.
