Me: "9 years old? That's still too young. They better age her up in Horizons." And they don't seem to have done so.

So day before yesterday i defeated poppy and today i defeated both larry and hassel on my first try!
Here are my teams:
Meowscarada: Leftovers
Leaf storm
Flower trick
Seed bomb
Knock off
Hatterene: float stone
Draining Kiss
Psycho cut
Dazzling gleam
Trick
Alolan sandshrew: Never-melt ice
Gyro ball
Blizzard
Powder snow
Ice beam
Minior (shiny✨): Hard Stone
Power Gem
Stealth rock
Double-edge
Ancient power
Cetitan: Expert belt
Heavy Slam
Body Press
Ice punch
Snowscape
Medicham: Muscle Band
Zen Headbutt
Detect
Thunder Punch
High Jump Kick
My strategy:
My only strategy was to:
Make hatterene use trick and give the opponent the floaat stone, effectively making the target lighter
Switch out for cetitan
Use Heavy Slam, which deals increased damage due to the weight difference
(I also made minior use stealth rock if this counts as a strategy)
I didnt end up using it for larry, i saw no need since i already defeated him
Nothing quite to this battle, really.
They were both quite easy, and i defeated larry with 2 pokemon to spare (meowscarada and minior) but hassel... was a different story
I used the same team but i switched out minior for my: (mystery gift) Gyarados, which held nothing:
Water Pulse
Ice Fang
Twister
Protect
And medicham for:
Dragapult: Dragon Fang
Dragon Darts
Dragon Breath
Dragon Pulse
Dragon tail
Hassel was fairly easy till baxcalibur. i had 3 pokemon left: meowscarada, sandshrew and dragapult
Sandshrew got ohko'd without being able to attack
and meowscarada got one-shot too
Dragapult used dragon pulse and brought baxcalibur down to over half hp, and he used glaive rush, which didnt ko my dragapult, but forced me to use a revive for hatterene with her fairy moves for backup in case i do faint.
Oh boy, did i need backup.
Glaive rush ENDED my dragapult
And i sent out hatterene, who followed in dragapult's footsteps by fainting from glaive rush, but not before i used a revive on dragapult.
Dragapult used dragon breath, and that may have been the most stressful time i have ever been in.
If this left baxcalibur with even 1hp, i would be out, and have to redo rika, poppy and larry. i dont know if i could defeat poppy again, i got through to larry via dumb luck
But thankfully, dragapult did it. i mean, its my favourite pokemon because its cool and can breathe very heavily.
Also, thank you @Candelinot , because you suggested to get rid of my revavroom, i did. i defeated 3 of the elite four without it lol. it was just a waste of space tbh
but i am so happy that i managed to do it. tmw or the day after i will challenge geeta. if you have any suggestions, i would be so happy. thx for reading!
I finally defeated poppy! after a week of putting her off, i went back and defeated her. my medicham was now lv.54 and all my other pokemon were above 60 but the levels didnt matter because i defeated her!
I used:
Meowscarada with muscle band - same moves
Medicham- same moves
Pawmot (not jumpluff/ voltorb) -
entrainment
Discharge
Charge
Arm thrust
Pyroar with heat rock - same moves but sunny day instead of fire blast
Quagsire with expert belt - same moves but spikes instead of toxic spikes
My shiny paldean tauros combat breed with leftovers
Raging bull
Assurance
Double kick
Work up
Yh i used held items for a little bit of jazz
i really owe it to medicham who toughed it out just for me. twice, 🥹 im so proud of you, gandhi (my medicham) and also the sunny day + heat rock tactic for pyroar (thank you @Anthony Vermeer1 )
I demolished each of her pokemon in one or two hits and im so glad i got past her
Now i need help with larry, who has flying types.
Should i keep these pokemon and held items, or should i change them? type advantages worked a treat for me here so now i will use them here
Ice is super effective, right? bc i have a lv. 74 alolan sandshrew who wouldnt evolve for some reason but i decided to give him an everstone but here are igloo (alolan sandshrew)'s moves:
Blizzard
Defense curl
Tackle
Rollout i think
Yh not great
Also i have a chansey with last resort and i removed all his other moves.
Will this work?
Im battling the elite four but i cant get past poppy!
Ive rematched her 6 times and i cant defeat her. the furthest i got was her tinkaton, and that was only once!
Here is my team:
Meowscarada- Lv.59
Hp- 158
Flower Trick
Knock-Off
Seed Bomb
Grassy Terrain
Medicham- Lv.38
Hp- cant remember, 100 and something?
Detect

Force Palm
Revavroom- Lv.56 (fighting tera type- i always terastallize the revavroom)
Hp- 168
Tera Blast
Iron Head
Sludge
Spin Out
Pyroar
Hp- 138
Snarl
Endeavour
Fire Spin
Flamethrower
Quagsire
Hp- 134
Mud Shot
Muddy Water
Aqua Tail

And lastly, either

Or i use
Hisuian Voltorb- Lv.54
Hp-125
Seed Bomb
Explosion
Electro Ball
Gyro Blast
Any suggestions? i need some feedback so please tell me how to build on this team thx
Poppy in Scarlet and Violet, and Paul in the Diamond and Pearl saga.
Poppy is nine years old, and Paul doesn't have an official age, but is pretty commonly estimated to be 11. I was even going to say he is 11, as a lot of sources would if I remember correctly.
This would mean the age difference of these two characters in their particular series would be SHORTER than that between any character's age in the Kanto games, and that same character's age in the Johto games.
Poppy is said by others to resemble a preschooler, while Paul sounds like he had already gone through puberty.
You agree that Poppy doesn't look just two years younger than Paul sounds in the DP anime, right?

Sometimes you agree Poppy is suitable for the X and Y anime series of the Ash era. If so, then maybe her character is the same as Scarlet and Violet, but instead of being an actual Elite Four trainer, she’s just a powerful trainer who is related to Wikstrom of Kalos Elite Four. Her partner is Mawile/Mega Mawile, while having Steel-type Pokemon like her relative and other types on her team. Poppy will bond with Bonnie once Ash and the rest meet the former. Somehow she was able to enter the Kalos League Lumiose Conference despite her age. She made it to the semifinals, but lost to Alain. Watching Ash’s battles against Sawyer and Alain with the group. Aiding during the battle against Lysandre and Team Flare including joining the final battle against the Giant Rock with the help of Steven Stone, Diantha, and Kalos Gym Leaders. Poppy is a huge fan of Steven Stone. Once the incident ended, she hangout with Ash and friends to help with the cleanup and enjoying a showcase. They said their goodbyes and live return to normal.

I almost lost to Poppy and Hassel, but i reseted before so it turned out fine
(After a giant explosion)
Meowscarada: I couldn't do it. Sorry Liko!
Ancelotti: It is a tie. Corviknight was killed by the recoil of Brave Bird.
Poopy: It's the time to finish you off. Go Tinkaton and Tera Evolve!
Liko: Go Chi-Yu Tera evolve and RUINATION!
Tinkaton: It doesn't even matter. Brutal Swing!
Chi-Yu: It's my fate! It's my life! Flamethrower! I am supreme for love!
Ancelotti: It's super effective! Tinkaton fainted! Liko and Chi-Yu won the battle!
(After some hours, somewhere)
Honor Students: We had been in the underwater city R'lyeh please forgive us.
Corrupted God: Well... I want to know what's the date.
Honor: 10th March 2023, but why?
Corrupted God: Because I am out of time. We have to unleash the beings we created before 1st June 2023, when Language and Literature...
One of C God's servants: God we have a problem. The Four Poke balls were Salt, Sulfur, Mercury and Lead were kept are lost!
C God: I don't care. Prepare Tel Megiddo so students of High School will ready.
(Somewhere else)
Ancelotti: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to the Paldea League! Today Arven and Larry are fighting.
Arven: Wait aren't you a gym leader?
Larry: I took up being a E4 so I could earn money. Anyway, go Tropius!
