And the third battle has an explosive start, with Golurk hitting for some very strong SE attacks and Excadrill retaliating with some strong STABs! However, an unlucky confusion self-hit by Excadrill A2 means that Florina's pokemon cannot survive Golurk's attacks, and so Gemini Taurus comes away with this third game, the match by a score of 2-1, and therefore his very own Raikou!
Rewards:
Gemini Taurus gets 6 RC, 6 TC, spends 4 JC, and a 3* Raikou
Florina Liastacia gets 6 RC, 6 TC, and spends 4 JC
I get 6 RC and 16 JC
