Key things to watch

• Pikachu

  Pikachu opens every battle. Ground types take no damage from Thunderbolt — but they lose the ground game against Flying.

• Charizard

  Charizard is weak to Rock and Ice. Electric moves work too.

• Blastoise

  Blastoise's Ice Beam threatens Grass and Dragon answers.

• Snorlax

  Snorlax is bulky and hits hard. Outspeeding it is usually better than out-damaging it.

• Espeon

  Espeon hits with Psychic and Bite. Dark and Steel answers are rare — Ground moves work.

• Venusaur

  Venusaur stalls with Giga Drain and Sludge Bomb. Status and weather moves wear it down.
