IONO

Hello, out there, all my loyal followers! It’s me, your favorite streamer, Iono! I hijacked prastarkeepers’ blog today to tell you all about myself! I’m the Electric-type gym leader for Lavencia with a huge following, and a gym challenge involving my dear friend Mr. Walksabout! You can bet, for sure, I’ve got enough to work with! Subscribe to watch live.

Here’s a teensy-tiny little moveset I just made for myself:

 

Standard B: Electric-tera Mismagius

Now, some of you may have been expecting my bestest friend Bellibolt. Well, he works too, but the rest of my gym leader friends have all been doing their tera-buddies, so I probably should too.

 

Side B: Screenshot

For this move, I will think I just spotted Mr. Walksabout behind my opponent and take a screenshot of the feed. This has the unfortunate issue of stunning my opponent at the same time. Whoopsy daisies!

 

Up B: Magnet Rise

Now, some of you may notice the cute little Magnemites in my hair can sometimes float on their own. Well, this time, they get to take me with them! Yay!

 

Down B: Iono Zone

And now for everybody’s favorite move! I’ll create a field around myself where all your wonderful likes and comments will appear. As long as I am standing in it, I get boosts from all your love and support, but my meanie-weanie opponents will all take damage if they step inside. Boo-hoo!

 

Final Smash: Lavencia Gym Iono-Stars

For my big finale, I’m going to send out my Bellibolt, my Kilowattrel, and of course my Terastalized Mismagius to electrify the stage. By the way, a sub-a-thon will be running the whole time the move is happening, so be sure to get those gift subs in!

 

Entrance: Of course, I’ll come in welcoming all my beautiful followers.

 

Taunts: Oh, you know, all of my taunts will be my famous and iconic poses. You all know them. Do them with me!

 

Kirby Hat: O.O!!! Look at him with my hair!! He’s sooooooo CUTE!!!

 

Kart: Based on my beloved Bellibolt of course!

Special Move: I think I’ll put up my Iono Zone, so I can see all your lovely support for me!

 

Spirit Battle: For this one, I’ll be right here at Naranja Academy in its omega form, accompanied by my favorite baseline gym team.

 

Victory Screen: You all know what happens when we reach one million subs! IONO PARTY!!

Losing Screen: And now, all of my wonderful challengers get an Electric Badge!

 

Color Swaps: Well, of course, I’ll have my basic outfit, and some outfits based on my favorite Pokemon. I might even wear an outfit based on my fellow streamer, Canari, from the Kalos region or my bestest best friend in the whole world, Dot. As a collab, of course.

 

Thanks for reading! Next up, my friend Kofu serves up some fish! Catch ya next time! Bysies!

Character Sheet: Katy

KATY

Now, we start our run of Paldean gym leaders. First up, we have Katy, the Bug-type gym leader of Cortondo. She is a pastry chef, and her gym challenge has a whole olive run thing going on. (Side note: All of the Paldean gym challenges take place outside the gym and require a lot of running around the city in question, so that should give us quite a bit).

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Bug-Tera Teddiursa

It will use Fury Cutter (also, love the subtle implication here. Chef, makes little bear a bug type. It’s all about honey).

Character Sheet: Melony

MELONY

Next, we cover Gordie’s mom, the Ice-type gym leader of Circhester in Shield version. Despite her disapproval of her son’s life choices, the pair still have mostly matching gym challenges, just with slight differences for their types, so they will be echoes.

Character Sheet: Gordie

GORDIE

Next up, we have the Circhester Gym, which likewise has two gym leaders, depending on the version, but with this one, it is expressly a mother-son pair, with some tension built in with Gordie, the son, choosing to focus on Rock-types, instead of his mother’s chosen typing, Ice. Their gym challenges are mostly similar though, so they will still be echoes or at least semi-clones.

Here’s the moveset I came up with for Gordie:

 

Standard B: Coalossal

Using Rock Throw

 

Side B: Trap Detector

Will buzz to reveal hidden items.
