User blog comment:Drayco90/Console Wars: Red (Pokemon) vs. Kameo (Elements of Power)/@comment-5795750-20140119130409

BG1's "Catch Them All" Edges

Primeape vs Pummelweed: I think Pummelweed gets the edge here since the key to his victory is being able to stay under the ground and attack Primeape from there when he least expects it; sure Primeape's attacks are strong and accurate but only in direct combat whereas when Pummelweed uses stealth in the form of the Weed Creeper, then Primeape will have a difficult time

EDGE: Kameo

Venusaur vs Snare: All of Venasaur's attacks are to be frank a bit slow since it takes quite some time for Venusaur to locate its target and use Giga Drain, time for the Solar Beam to charge up and take full effect, and time to Synthesise and restore health; Snare has a wide variety of offensive tactics and given its ability to go underground, the solar attacks will have little to now effect - that plus Snare's mobility give that form the edge

EDGE: Kameo

Espeon vs Rubble: To be honest, Espeon's best assets are Reflect and maybe Psychic but to me they don't seem to do the job of knocking Rubble out that easily; plus the claw attack no matter how accurate is probably not going to work against Rubble's rock hard armour; idk about mud but since Rubble is an Earth-type form then Rubble might actually benefit from it

EDGE: Kameo

Tauros vs Major Ruin: In this battle of which creature has the bigger spike, I actually have to give this to Tauros although it will need to be very lucky hits with Fissure and Horn Attack; I also think that Tauros's Double Team cloning ability will actually give Major Ruin the necessary stalling to increase the chances of Tauros piercing Major Ruin

EDGE: Red (just)

Charizard vs Ash: Charizard has the edge in terms of mobility (methinks) for having bigger wings and being big it also has a great edge over Ash in terms of firepower but the latter warrior can regenerate under its own fire which evens the playing field

EDGE: Even

Arcanine vs Thermite: Thermite needs to have pretty good aim to catch that Arcanine and while it can roll away to prevent the distance from being closed, I can actually see Arcanine catching Thermite before the latter can roll away and then either burn the little mite to smithereens or gnaw on it and separate the ant from the mortar

EDGE: Red

Snorlax vs Chilla: Do I really need to spell it out? Snorlax is a big pile of flubbery stubborness and laziness; I doubt that it will be able to throw Chilla out of its depth despite its massive size

EDGE: Kameo

Lapras vs 40 Below: Lapras is amazing as a sea and ice creature but against a flying water and ice creature like 40 Below, it stands no chance - 40 Below's attacks are more versatile, more direct (despite Surf's accuracy) and can easily counter whatever Lapras throws at it

EDGE: Kameo

Pikachu vs Flex: Electricity and Water never mix well and that is the case here and guess who comes out on top... Pikachu since he is small and agile enough to outperform flex and with his electrical attacks, Flex is going to suffer real bad

EDGE: Red

Blastoise vs Deep Blue: Both of these creatures can work best both on land and on water and with this in mind plus their abilities, I consider this matchup even since whatever Deep Blue has in power, Blastoise makes up for in durability and yeah the Vortex might put Deep Blue in more of an advantage than a disadvantage, Blizzard and maybe Hydro Pump can give Blastoise a real edge since I doubt Deep Blue can fire off a high-pressure water attack like Blastoise and Deep Blue can be rendered helpless when frozen by the blizzard

EDGE: Even

X-Factors: Average of 58 for Red with Brutality; Average of 78 for Kameo with Brutality

Average of 72.5 for Red without Brutality; Average of 77.5 for Kameo without Brutality

EDGE: Kameo

Overall Winner: I really wanted Red to come out on top but unfortunately despite his experience and tactics, he isn't all that prepared for the more unpredictable, smarter, versatile and faster Kameo who I guess I can classify as a shapeshifter of which Red has had no experience dealing with (I guess this battle also determines my frame of mind for Red vs Ben 10)
