Faulkner:
Sentret (13): Quick Attack 2HKOs Pidgey and 3HKOs Pidgeotto. They don’t kill you fast enough: you should end the fight at roughly 1/3 HP (14/33 HP).
Bugsy:
Furret (16): Pink Bow. 2HKO cocoons with Swift, 3HKO Scyther, last bit of Scyther can be picked off by Quick Attack unless you get low damage rolls. They never kill you.
Slowpoke (16): Much to my surprise, +6 Tackle doesn’t even 2HKO Scyther, and it can probably crit you. Assuming it doesn’t crit you, you win, though Tackle’s miss chance can be a pain (Water Gun can probably finish off Scyther) and the damage can get pretty close to killing you. Ended in red.
Rival 2:
Furret (17): Pink Bow. You’re probably going to 4HKO Bayleef with Swift due to Growl (Razor Leaf seems to be a 5HKO, but I wouldn’t bet on that due to crits. Usually it derps). Zubat is 2HKOed by Swift (I assume I had a rebuff).
Slowpoke (16): 3HKOs Gastly with Water Gun. Zubat seems like a 4HKO with Water Gun but just avoid it; Supersonic and Bite are too annoying. Obviously avoid Bayleef.
Whitney:
Furret (20): Defense Curl into Rollout 2HKOs Clefairy and 2HKOs Miltank (it is faster). Even though it crit on Stomp and Milk Drinked, it still died. In an attempt where Clefairy used Growl and I missed Rollout on Tank, I STILL swept in low HP. So yeah, pretty watertight.
Slowpoke (20): Curse like 5 times and you spam Headbutt to win (Clefairy might live a Headbutt if it Curses once or twice).
Morty:
Furret (25): Pink Bow. Gastly Curses as you Defense Curl. Rollout 1 finishes it off, then Rollout 2 OHKOs Haunter, then you outspeed and OHKO Gengar with Rollout 3 (!). Rollout 4 OHKOs Gengar. If Gastly uses Spite turn 1, this doesn’t change the outcome.
Slowpoke (25): Gastly uses Curse and you kill it with Surf. Haunter tries to Hypnosis you and is 2HKOed by Surf. Gengar comes out, sleeps you and you die. I could Mint Berry but I think you’re only beating Gastly and one Haunter anyway.
Pryce:
Slowpoke (32-33): Pink Bow. +1 Strength takes Seel to red, and if it uses Rest, you can get another Curse off easily. +2 Strength does 2/3s of Dewgong’s HP, now you’re around half HP. Piloswine comes in and you 2HKO it with Surf, but…

Yeah. Two Blizzards come VERY close to killing you. +3 Strength does 2/3s to Piloswine by the way. Sweep seems consistent.
Furret (32): Pink Bow. First attempt had me 2HKO Seel and Dewgong (Seel looks like a roll to OHKO) with Strength, but Piloswine (3HKO) landed a crit Blizzard to finish me off. Second attempt went virtually the same, but Headbutting Piloswine gives you significantly better chances due to flinch chance and Blizzard miss chance and derp chance.
Classic Curlout works even better: Seel dies to Rollout 2, Dewgong is OHKOed, and Piloswine is OHKOed, not even an Attack drop from Aurora Beam stops this, notably.
Tentacruel (32): Sludge Bomb knocks Seel to red, but Dewgong is a 3HKO stall fest unless you poison it first turn (it still Rested on me turn 2, I eventually crit). Piloswine Surf OHKO seems like a roll. It seems consistent, still great as they aren’t really hurting you fast like ever.
Chuck:
Slowpoke (35): Mystic Water. Primape gets OHKOed by Strength after 3 Curses and you do 2/3s to Poliwrath with +3 Strength. You win at roughly 1/3 HP. You don’t even need Pink Bow here. Two uses of Curse OHKOs Primape and 2HKOs Poliwrath.
Furret (35): Pink Bow. Outspeed and OHKO Primape with Pink Bow Strength. Outspeed and 2HKO Poliwrath with Pink Bow Strength (looks close though). Easy sweep.
Tentacruel (35): Poison Barb. Outspeed and OHKO Primape with Sludge Bomb. Sludge Bomb is a shaky 2HKO on Poliwrath but potential poison can bridge the gap.
Jasmine:
Slowpoke (35): Mystic Water. Magnemite outspeeds and OHKOs you with Thunderbolt, don’t even try. Steelix dies like a baby (2HKO with Surf). Even if it puts sun up, it’s not beating you (you 3HKO).
Furret (35): PRZCureBerry. With PRZCureBerry, you can actually still barely 2HKO both Magnemite with Strength (look like rolls sometimes though, particularly when I crit), and thus take both of them. Otherwise (in another attempt, not paralyzed), you can also give it Surf to easily 2HKO Steelix, whose Iron Tail will likely do roughy half your HP. Not as useless as you’d imagine.
Tentacruel (35): Poison Barb. Even without Mystic Water, you outspeed and OHKO everything with Surf. Thunderbolt does 1/3 of your HP if you are wondering.
Rival Tunnel:
Jynx (34-35): NeverMeltIce. Outspeed and OHKO Golbat with Ice Punch (very helpful). Sneasel comes in, but you can 3HKO it while taking roughly half your HP in exchange. Magnemite comes in, you sleep it to avoid paralysis and 2HKO it. Haunter is so frail it folds to neutral Ice Punch, and Meganium is actually OHKOed.
In my second attempt I slept Sneasel, but got paralyzed by Magnemite and finished off by Haunter and Meganium. Still pretty good, it’s not like Magnemite or Sneasel threaten the average team with a Surf user anyway.
Slowbro (37): Mystic Water. Hey, remember Slowbro is slow? Yeah Bite flinches and Confuse Ray suck here, and to make matters worse, you leave Golbat in red with Surf. Magnemite adds in Thunder Wave to make confusion EVEN MORE of a pain. I have legit lost to Magnemite chipping me down with Thundershock because status is just that big of a pain in this battle.
Testing with Bitter Berry goes a lot better, you outspeed and thankfully OHKO Magnemite with Surf. Sneasel struggles to break your bulk as you 2HKO with Surf (I think it 5HKOs with Faint Attack lol). Avoiding Meganium for obvious reasons. You have enough health to eat a Shadow Ball from Haunter, OHKO it with Surf, then end at about 1/3 HP. One of the few matchups where Slowbro’s playstyle of 1v1ing doesn’t actively hurt, but you need a Berry nonetheless.
Tentacruel (36): Poison Barb. Golbat is cleanly left alive by Surf but confusion is annoying (feel free to use Bitter Berry if you want). Magnemite is OHKOed by Surf, as is Haunter. Both Sneasel and Meganium are left in red by Sludge Bomb. You should have just enough HP to sweep. One attempt. And no, Golbat doesn’t even come close to dying with Mystic Water Surf.
Furret (35-36): Pink Bow. Return sadly takes Golbat to red and 2HKOs Magnemite, but OHKOs Sneasel. Meganium is 2HKOed by Return. I didn’t heal Magnetite’s paralysis off and still won in red (never got fully paralyzed).
Try Curlout with a Bitter Berry. 2 Rollouts kill Golbat, Rollout 3 kills Magnemite, 4 kills Haunter, and 5 kills Sneasel assuming accuracy doesn’t screw you over. Return should 2HKO Meganium unless it goes for Reflect.
Clair:
Furret (39): Pink Bow. 250-255 Return consistently misses OHKOs on the Dragonair while they 4HKO with the special move of choice. Took out two before needing to heal, but at that point I reset.
With PRZCureBerry, you seem to 3HKO the first Dragonair with Rollout without Defense Curl. With Defense Curl…Dragonair sadly still lives two Rollouts, PLUS you need to have them not use Thunder Wave for two turns. Curlout 3 and 4 OHKO the other two Dragonair though. Kingdra comes out, and despite you outspeeding and 2HKOing with Return, it finishes you off by 2HKOing with Surf. Good.
Slowbro (38): PRZCureBerry. Unboosted Strength (with Pink Bow 3HKOs Dragonair while they do very little damage with DragonBreath. Using Curse without Pink Bow means you 2HKO Dragonair at +1. Unfortunately, the Thunderbolt Dragonair comes out and ruins your day. Kingdra’s DragonBreath is a 4HKO.
After two Curses you actually just manage to 2HKO Kingdra with Strength (no Pink Bow). But again, the Thunderbolt Dragonair comes out and 3HKOs with Thunderbolt, and it lives +2 Strength in mid-yellow. You’re just not sweeping here, not with paralysis and Smokescreen - I’m not bothering.
Tentacruel (38): PRZCureBerry. You do 2/3s to Dragonair with Poison Barb Sludge Bomb, but you can thankfully just barely 2HKO Dragonair without it while hopefully dodging Thunder Wave. You’ll very likely be paralyzed when Kingdra comes out, but you can Barrier to mitigate Hyper Beam. Sadly you’ll only have 4 Sludge Bomb PP left, but you 4HKO - I healed up at 19 HP. I was able to do it with one item and a lucky poison at 9 HP. I think you either take the Dragonair or take Kingdra. Regardless, pretty great! One test, can do more if need be but seems kinda clear cut.
Jynx (38): NeverMeltIce. Dragonair is outsped and OHKOed by Ice Punch and Kingdra comes in, thankfully you outspeed it. Sadly, you just BARELY miss the 2HKO on Kingdra with Ice Punch and Hyper Beam does 3/4s of your HP. Clair did use Smokescreen once, but that didn’t stop me from hitting the other Dragonair. It’s best to Lovely Kiss Kingdra, hope it stays asleep until Clair uses an item or two (she Hyper Potioned, then Full Healed once, after which I crit). You can use Powder Snow to prevent a heal. All you need is one Sleep really, but even discounting that, outspending and OHKOing the Dragonair trio is huge.
Rival VR:
Furret (40, 41 for Meganium): Pink Bow. Defense Curl, then 2HKO Sneasel with Rollout, Rollout 3 OHKOs Golbat, Rollout 4 OHKOs Magneton, Rollout 5 OHKOs Haunter. Haunter is outsped and OHKOed by Return, Meganium is barely 2HKOed by Return. You can probably afford to X Accuracy on Sneasel, don’t usually advise that but it is fodder in every sense of the word.
Slowbro (40): Mystic Water. 2HKO Sneasel with Surf, OHKO Magneton with Surf, 2HKO Golbat with Surf (don’t try if paralyzed from Ton, Bite and Confuse Ray sucks), Haunter is a pain if paralyzed due to Confuse Ray, Curse and Shadow Ball, Kadabra is OHKOed and is a pansy, avoid Meganium.
Tentacruel (41): Mystic Water. Surf takes Sneasel and Magneton to red (inviting paralysis, I Full Heal it off as Kadabra comes in). Sludge Bomb OHKOs Kadabra and Surf 2HKOs Golbat. Surf OHKOs Haunter. You’re likely in low yellow from Golbat and Future Sight. Sludge Bomb 2HKOs Meganium. Obviously PRZCureBerry makes this better but I’m not bothering to test with it. Either way you get pretty low on HP, but good.
Jynx (40, 41 after Haunter): NeverMeltIce. You can Lovely Kiss Sneasel to prevent Screech and 3HKO with Ice Punch. Golbat comes in and dies. Magneton comes in, we both miss Thunder Wave and Lovely Kiss lol before I land the kiss of death. Based on a crit I got, Ice Punch likely 3HKOs Magneton - you definitely need sleep here. Ice Punch OHKOS Haunter and Kadabra and Meganium it seems.
Will:
Furret (41): Pink Bow. Return knocks Xatu 1 to red as Psychic just barely 2HKOs you (you outsped, it got a Special Defense drop but I seriously doubt it matters). Jynx comes in and is thankfully outsped and OHKOed. Exeggutor is a 2HKO with Return, but finishes you off with Psychic. Decent with Return.
Bitter Berry for Rollout. Rollout does not 2HKO Xatu unless you Defense Curl first. Anyway, after a lot of resets until the right timeline where Xatu 1 Confuse Ray, then Psychics, Curlout 2 kills Xatu, three OHKOS Jynx, 4 SOMEHOW OHKOs Exeggutor with a neutral move, and Curlout 5 drops Slowbro. Xatu 2 comes in, but I survive Psychic likely due to both a low roll and getting some HP upon level up earlier. BUT, it actually has Quick Attack - hilariously I lived at one HP.
So what do I think of this matchup? It’s alright, but nothing spectacular. The amount of RNG hoops you have to jump through (Xatu, Rollout not missing five times) is simply asking a bit too much with how fragile Furret is. However, getting 2.5 KOs normally with Return is not shabby at all. Not testing this more because it was bad enough just getting one attempt where everything went perfectly. Killing four with Rollout is nice, even if it’s likely out of reach with normal circumstances. Good.
Slowbro (41): Mystic Water. Actually halfway decent. You 2HKO Xatu as it struggles to break your bulk with Psychic (two Xatu Psychics don’t even get you to yellow, does roughly 50 damage of your almost 150 HP combined). Jynx seems 3HKOed by Strength if my crit is any indication, does absolutely nothing with Psychic, but obviously watch out for Lovely Kiss. You’re around half HP with Xatu 2 comes in. You have juuuuuuuust enough HP (read: end in red) to 2HKO it with Surf. Pretty darn good, didn’t try on Exeggutor or Slowbro.
Tentacruel (41): Mystic Water. Outspeed and 2HKO Xatu 1 with Surf while it 2HKOs with Psychic, Jynx seems like it cleanly lives Sludge Bomb in low-yellow (read: Poison Barb doesn’t change this to a KO most likely) as it kills you, Slowbro is 4HKOed by Sludge Bomb as it 2HKOs you, the second Xatu seems like a range to 2HKO with Surf if my critical hit is any indiction, Exeggutor is taken to 1/3 HP by Sludge Bomb. Everything looks like it 2HKOs with Psychic if my Revives are any indication: I spammed them to speed up testing.
TLDR: You take 1 and a half mons, pretty poor. I think you outspeed everything though.
Jynx (41): NeverMeltIce. Outsped and nuke Xatu off the face of Johto with Ice Punch, Jynx comes in and this is where this gets funny, you sleep it then 2HKO with Body Slam of all moves (learned at 41) before it sleeps you. Slowbro is best left to something else - you can sleep it, but Ice Punch is a 4HKO. Second Xatu happens exactly the same way the first did. Now at level 42, Ice Punch OHKOs Exeggutor as well. Pretty great.
Koga:
Furret (41): Pink Bow. Return 2HKOs Ariados cleanly and knocks Venomoth to red, though Supersonic and Toxic suck. Avoid Forretress (Full Restored Furret after switching in case evasion rears its head later). Return thankfully 2HKOs Crobat even if you don’t outspeed - I consider this notable as most things fail to 2HKO Crobat. Muk is 2HKOed by Return. Pretty good, but yeah, hax.
Slowbro (41): Mystic Water. Slowbro sadly can’t OHKO Ariados with Surf, but Forretress is pretty much a free 2HKO. Probably don’t bother with Crobat, you miss the Surf 2HKO and healing happens. You 3HKO Muk with Surf while it 4HKOs with Sludge Bomb, hope it doesn’t Minimize and Toxic you. Venomoth is 2HKOed by Surf and isn’t doing much beyond confusing you. Alright, I THINK you’re outsped by most things, but I don’t really care enough to double check at this point. Nevertheless, slightly good.
Tentacruel (41): Mystic Water. Outspeeds and 2HKOs Ariados with Surf but Double Team is a pain. Just barely 2HKOs Venomoth with Surf. Unfortunately, bad luck with confusion necessitates healing on Forretress - I’m at a third when it falls via Surf 2HKO. Surf 3HKOs Muk and you can Barrier to make Sludge Bomb do chip damage if you want. I’m now at 32 HP. Crobat is left to something that can kill it faster - it is 3HKOed by Surf and I ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF PP ON SURF BEFORE I COULD KILL IT. And Full Restore means you have to resort to BubbleBeam. LOL. Decent, resisting Muk’s Sludge Bomb is a pretty big help, it’s just they are going to get evasion crap going whether you like it or not.
Jynx (42): NeverMeltIce. Ariados is knocked to red by Ice Punch. Surprisingly, you barely 3HKO Forretress with Ice Punch. Venomoth is outsped and 2HKOed by Ice Punch, and one Max Elixir later (usually use these offscreen, so not counting it against Jynx) I am level 43 for Crobat as I use some fodder. Unfortunately, due to chip from Spikes and other moves, Jynx dies to Wing Attack. Despite this concerning pedigree, if you land a hit on Crobat you OHKO it with Ice Punch (full disclosure, I Max Revived for speed here). You can Lovely Kiss Muk and 3HKO it with Ice Punch, but Sludge Bomb does like 3/4s of your HP. Despite the mess, I’d say this is good (a little worse than Will).
Bruno:
Furret (42): Pink Bow. Return does 2/3s to Hitmontop as it uses Dig. Since you are faster you can get a free Defense Curl here. Hitmonlee comes out, much to my shock, you outspeed and OHKO with Return. Hitmonchan comes out and Mach Punches, but thanks to Defense Curl it only does like 3HKO damage thanks to chip from Dig. Return, based on a crit seems like it 3HKOs Machamp. I tested again, and yeah, Lee is still OHKOed, and yes, Machamp is 3HKOed. Oddly solid.
Slowbro (41): Mystic Water. This matchup plays out really weirdly in that you can actually Curse to max and OHKO stuff, though you likely need to heal by the time Hitmonchan falls second (Hitmonchan’s Thunderpunch is maybe a 3HKO or 4HKO). Lee comes out and dies, and Onix dies to Surf as it sets sand. Machamp’s Rock Slide flinches are a pain (I swear I flinched like three turns in a row) but if you hit it should die with Sandstorm chip. You can Pink Bow if you want but I didn’t need to.
Surf 3HKOs Top, 2HKOs Chan, and OHKOs Onix, who you will need to heal after you beat (again, you Curse once as Top uses Dig for a free boost). You 2HKO Lee with Surf and 3HKO Machamp with Surf, but again, Rock Slide flinches and a Max Potion use on Machamp sucks. Finished in red HP.
Tentacruel (41): Mystic Water. Sadly Surf only 3HKOs Hitmontop, though you can Barrier on the second turn of Dig (it does less than 30 damage this way). After another Barrier and you kill it, you should be at 2/3s HP. Hitmonchan comes out, you 3HKO it, but Thunderpunch unfortunately paralyzes me. I kill Chan and Full Restore as Lee comes out, and Lee is again a 3HKO with Surf, though I score a crit this time. Onix comes out and gets crit to death but I doubt it matters. Machamp comes out, it heals once, and I run out of Surf PP but that matters little since I crit with Sludge Bomb and it’s not killing you. Meh, they can’t kill you but you also take longer than you should to kill them. If you could 2HKO more I’d call this good. Ended in yellow HP with one item used, seems clear-cut.
Jynx (42): NeverMeltIce. Hitmontop and Hitmonchan are 2HKOed by Ice Punch barely, but they do enough chip that you’ll need to heal when Onix comes out…sadly it 2HKOs with Rock Slide, so just OHKO it with Ice Punch. Fodder for a potion later, Machamp comes out. I sleep it and Max Elixir (again, not holding this against Jynx). It turns out you 3HKO Machamp, but Rock Slide OHKOs you back. Jynx crit Hitmonlee out (you 2HKO with Ice Punch), but another attempt reveals Swagger confusion hit + HJK kills you. Mediocre.
Karen:
Furret (42): Pink Bow. Return 3HKOs Umbreon but it can chip you with Confuse Ray and Faint Attack (like I was around roughly 1/3 HP when I beat it). Vileplume is 2HKOed by Return and Petal Dance does 1/3 of your HP. Gengar you can’t touch. You and Houndoom 2HKO each other with Return and Flamethrower but you should come out on top if you are faster. Murkrow is actually outsped and OHKOed by Return. You’re not sweeping at all, but this is decent.
Slowbro (41): Mystic Water. Don’t bother with Umbreon, Surf is a 4HKO, it can confuse you, and IIRC Faint Attack is like a 3HKO. Avoid Vileplume obviously. Curse + Surf KOs Gengar. Murkrow only 3HKOs with Faint Attack while you knock it to red with Surf. You and Houndoom both knock each other to red with Surf and Crunch respectively: it comes out on top. Poor.
Tentacruel (42): Poison Barb. Sludge Bomb 4HKOs Umbreon, but three uses and a round of poison after the third use actually made the difference. I switched out after to rid myself of confusion and accuracy drops as Vileplume locked into Petal Dance. I think Petal Dance is a rough 4HKO but Plume crit me with some prior damage from Umbreon while you IIRC 3HKO back with Sludge Bomb. Curse + Surf sadly leaves Gengar alive, but Mystic Water may close the gap on that - it can also Destiny Bond you. Sludge Bomb damage also looked a little close on Plume though too.
Tentacruel outspeeds and 2HKOs Houndoom with Surf as Crunch is a 3HKO. Now at level 43, I outspeed and cleanly 2HKO Murkrow with Surf. Decent.
Jynx (42): NeverMeltIce. Umbreon 3HKOs with Faint Attack, but you can Lovely Kiss it; sadly Ice Punch misses the 3HKO. Obviously avoid Houndoom. Vileplume lives Ice Punch (I had one attempt where it was OHKOed, oddly, but I think it usually lives in red) but does pretty insignificant damage with Petal Dance. Now at level 43, I accidentally misclick Powder Snow to do like 1/3 to Gengar, then have to heal - sadly Lick paralyzes me after and Ice Punch does 2/3s of Gengar’s HP to kill it, which I confirmed in another attempt clicking correctly. Murkrow 2HKOs with Faint Attack, but assuming no paralysis, you outspeed and OHKO with Ice Punch. Decent.
Lance:
Furret (42): Pink Bow. You outspeed and Defense Curl as Gyarados uses Rain Dance. Curlout 1 does 1/3 as rain-boosted Surf does 2/3s of your HP. Curlout 2 finishes Gyarados off. Level 47 Dragonite comes in, you outspeed and blow it up with Curlout 3. The other 47 Dragonite comes in, it gets outsped and blown up. Furret grows to level 43 as Aerodactyl comes in, Rock Slides me to red (thus, a 4HKO I believe) and Curlout 5 kills it. It’s obvious I’m too frail to make healing matter as Charizard comes out - Curlout 1 takes it to low yellow as Flamethrower kills me.
Slowbro (41): Mystic Water. Surf knocks Charizard to red and you can easily eat Hyper Beams from it. AncientPower from Aerodactyl does like 40 damage (4HKO) as Surf surprisingly OHKOs Aerodactyl. Not testing the others.
Tentacruel (43): Poison Barb. You can Barrier as much as you like on Gyarados because it spams Flail, it’s helpful that you outspeed it. At max Defense, Gyarados’s Hyper Beam does like 20 damage of your roughly 130 HP. Despite Gyarados’s high Special Defense, Poison Barb Sludge Bomb cleanly 3HKOs it. Dragonite level 47 comes out and I’m at about 2/3s HP.
Then goofy stuff happens. I miss Icy Wind as he misses Thunder Wave. THEN I crit Icy Wind to knock it to red (thus it’s probably a 3HKO) as he misses Thunder. The next level 47 Dragonite comes out and Sludge Bomb a little less damage than Icy Wind, but I oddly picked up the KO with Icy Wind on Dragonite after one round of Sludge Bomb poison (read: Icy Wind did like 2/3s of its HP) so I dunno.
Third Dragonite comes out (level 50) and I’m still paralyzed from the last one. Outrage is a 3HKO on Tentacruel as I barely miss the 2HKO with Icy Wind, implying the last bit of damage with it wasn’t the fluke. Since I’m at red and paralyzed, I Full Restore up. Just like the last Dragonite, I pick up the KO with Icy Wind (I legit dunno how this keeps happening).
Charizard comes out, I outspeed and Surf it to red as Flamethrower takes me to yellow. Aerodactyl Hyper Beams me to 34 HP as I Icy Wind Aerodactyl (I expected Rock Slide to screw me over). Surf finishes it off.
Jynx (42): NeverMeltIce. You can outspeed and sleep Gyarados with Lovely Kiss. Ice Punch does just enough for a 3HKO on it. Charizard is a definite no - it outspeeds and OHKOs with Flamethrower. Level 47 Dragonite comes in after I’m all revived. Ice Punch OHKO, Jynx grows to level 43, Aerodactyl comes in and forces Jynx out (no way it’s living Rock Slide). Both the level 47 and level 50 Dragonite are outsped and OHKOed by Ice Punch.
