Bugsy: Difference between revisions

|desc={{p|Spinarak}} is the first Pokémon Bugsy used in his match against {{Ash}}, saying that it's one of his strongest Pokémon in his arsenal. It battled against {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and almost won with its String Shot and Poison Sting attacks, since Cyndaquil couldn't get its flame started. Eventually, Ash recalled Cyndaquil and sent out {{AP|Chikorita}} instead, despite the type disadvantage. Spinarak and Chikorita kept dodging each other's attacks, until Ash told Chikorita to use {{m|Sweet Scent}}, enabling it to {{m|Tackle}} Spinarak and win the round.

|desc=Bugsy's second choice for his battle with Ash was {{p|Metapod}}. Metapod used Harden several times to resist Chikorita's attacks, and then surprised Ash by being able to jump and tackle Chikorita. Ash decided to use {{AP|Pikachu}}, and after dodging many more attacks, Pikachu managed to attack Metapod with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and win.

|desc=The final and strongest of Bugsy's Pokémon was {{p|Scyther}}. It first battled [[Ash's Pikachu]], which it easily defeated with a powerful combination of Slash and Fury Cutter attacks after dodging Pikachu's Thunderbolt with Double Team.

Scyther proved to be an exceptional fighter as it can hold its own against {{type|Fire}}s by using Swords Dance to counter fire attacks. Using this technique, it almost defeated [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] by deflecting all of its fire attacks. Thanks to Ash's strategy though, Cyndaquil gained the upper hand. Instead of attacking horizontally, it jumped above Scyther and used {{m|Flamethrower}}. Scyther was unable to defend itself from the attack and was knocked out of the battle, allowing Ash to earn the Hive Badge.
