Golisopod vs Rainbow Dash

[GyroNutz]

I wanted to do Drampa vs MLP, but quickly realised that Drampa was Low 7-B. So I decided to make this matchup instead, with an under-utilised Pokemon.

Yes, it's a High 6-C vs 6-C, but said 6-C is very high into her tier so it's not an AP stomp gap.

Full SBA, cept that this is 6-C Rainbow Dash.

Who wins and why?

Rainbow Dash:

Golisopod: 1

Inconclusive:

First Impression being a strong move on its own coupled with Goliscopod's AP advantage makes that first strike a problem. Not a one shot, but severely weakens her.

Can't she, you know, dodge?

Theoretically, yeah, but the move works like a surprise attack, as the opponent has the "!" above their head when they're hit and it's described as an attack that's made literally the second the battle starts. No one's expecting an attack as soon as the "Go" gets off.

Rainbow can definitely be surprised, pinkie and all. Golisopod FRA
