Ya hallo thar people!
Welcome to our Fighting Qualifiers! Like what happened to the normal typing, we have three contestants for the leadership: AOPSUser, Birkal and deadfox081. The winner will be decided in a series of three battles with whoever netting the best results being nominated Fighting Gym Leader.
This battle is between AOPSUser and deadfox081, so let's get to hem, shall we?
Both contestants have several similarities. 4 of their 5 pokemon are the same (infernape, gallade, revenankh and tomohawk), they are both runner-ups for Gyms (AOPSUser for Dragon and deadfox081 for Bug) and both are familiar with the whole "gyms are cruel" business, having challenged gyms to no luck (right, deadfox? hahah).
But the similaries stop here.
AOPSUser is known for reffing shit. Lots and lots of shit. That got him a great set of Dragons and now got him a good set of Fighting pokemon. He is a Silver Pike Ref, with a good history, as well an Arcade Ref and other stuff I am missing. But now he doesn't have the control of the almighty RNG (I have BWAHAHAHA) and has to face several adversities to common to the reffing world. Does he have what it takes (oh god I sounded so cheesy)?
From his team pay attention to...uh...its almost a mirror match so its hard to tell. I guess Karate Kid the Medicham is the mon to watch. Aside from being AOPS's wild card, its better movepool, with the likes of Fake Out and Pain Split, as well as perfect accuracy Hi Jump Kick and Psychic typing give him a distinct advantage against Fighting types as a whole.
The other contestant is deadfox081. deadfox081 is one half of the dream team (the other half being Engineer Pikachu) that devastated Raids back when they were up (and when they return, hopefully soon, right, zara?). He is used to using very different pokemons to suit different needs and doesn't need bloated movepools to get the job done. After being DQ'd from a battle against Engineer Pikachu (a very close battle, I might add, that hopefully will be redone in a soon future), deadfox081 is aiming for a gym once again. Let's see the results of that.
Pay special attention to...I wanted to say Puncha for being with him since the begining (or close to it), but the opponents are very...dangerous against it, so I will bet on Woosh the Tomohawk. Woosh is a common view on the raids deadfox081 participate in and has a lot of options at his disposal. Also, hitting every single mon on the opposite team supereffectively is probably good for something haha.
Now let's get to the teams!
