Barkspawn vs. Gabriel: Barkspawn has more of a variety of moves other than Dark type moves giving him a upper hand and being able to attack from a longer range rather than having to be up in close combat giving Barkspawn the upper hand in the first round.

Surgeon vs. Willow: Surgeon does have a better move set if he was battling someone else Willow has the upper hand sure Surgeon could set some stealth rocks to damage Willow but Magical Leaf is to good against a rock/water type and it also never misses and getting the power boost from the life orb she is holding and being able to put Surgeon to sleep with hypnosis is also a huge advantage so. EDGE: Willow

Mariner vs. Brahm:Brahm may have the better move set but Mariner shell is much more of a defense Pokemon. Also has a move set for close and ranged combat and being able to Mega evolve giving him more cannons so Hydro would be easier to use .Edge: Mariner  Slight EDGE: Lloyd Hemlock
