Character: Jaskier | rollstoseduce Badge/Gym Leader: Janine for the Soul badge Elite/Regular: Regular Team:Plumeria the Aurorus (54) holding the Shell Bell Battle Details: Janine may be a ninja, but unlike Sabrina and Clair, Jaskier doesn't find her very scary - she's a sweetheart! So yes, she gets winked at. Because scary fathers are only scary if they're around, not if they're stuck in an E4 room. That's Jaskier's philosophy - Schrodinger's daddy or something. (Obligatory apology for him goes here.)
The Pokémon that will be starring this battle is Plumeria, Jaskier's beautiful rainbow-dino (aka Aurorus). Unlike other encounters, Plumeria doesn't have a great level advantage over her opponents, she matches Janine's levels. However, she's holding the Shell Bell, she starts the battle by setting up Light Screen and, most importantly, she resists Poison (and Flying as well, considering certain bat!). So even if Venomoth does have Tinted Lens, Jaskier thinks Plumeria should last long enough to handle this battle by herself - especially when we move from mentioning the defense to the offense: after Light Screen, Plumeria also sets up Hail and Stealth Rock. All of Janine's Pokémon are weak to Rock thanks to the types going with the gym's poison, and Crobat is also weak to ice. That means it's Ice Beam for it, Ancient Power for Ariados and Venomoth. STAB damage + Stealth Rock + Hail should make powerful combined damage, especially if Ancient Power is feeling generous and activates that stat boost.
