Poll of the Day > Pokemon 1v1 Tournament Match 4!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Match 1 - Tauros 30v Dewpider 7
Match 2 - Mismagius 12 vs Emboar 13
Match 3 - Zigzagoon 11 vs Gloom 22

Gloom doubles the votes over Zigzagoon.

This match seems to be a bit unfair for one of the contestants

Machop just kicks out of the arena.

This is tough... I'm leaning towards Flabebe, but how deep into this do we make our considerations?

Going off the pokedex/bulbapedia entries:

So, assuming type affinities are a gameplay conceit, I think I'll ignore the type advantage (at least in this situation... fire against grass would be harder to ignore).

Flabebe is one of the smallest and lightest pokemon. It blows in the wind and holds onto its flower for dear life and draws power from it (which I guess might be part of its body).

Machop can easily lift Graveler (231lbs) and even throw 100 human adults (...which frankly sounds absurd, unless it's 1 at a time but being that its muscles never tire I'm not sure how that limit is reached). It also seeks to learn every martial arts, which I suppose is impressive as well.

I feel like, being that there isn't much of a speed gap and Machop is apparently a highly skilled fighter, Machop could easily just squish Flabebe.

yeah, ran the numbers and moonblast or psychic just wipes my boy off the map, meanwhile a poison jab is never gonna take less than 2 hits to KO flabebe so she has it easy

That is what I thought. I just wasn't sure how to dig into it since we don't really have standards for how to determine "who wins" I just knew flabebe had an overwhelming advantage in most situations.

there are almost no fairy types i like not counting retroactive fairy types.

On paper the Flabebe wins most of the time.

Flabebe resists and is super effective against him but okay

Machop can learn Posion jab and bullet punch. So it can probably OHKO. If it doesn't, it loses.

It doesn't, and I'm pretty sure the results here are mostly the fact that machop seems cooler than a little flower.
