Pokemon Stadium 2 | Round 3 | Rival | 2/2

Safeguard was binned in order to make his Pokemon more offensive. As you can tell from the get go, Lugia was straight onto the attack with Psychic, something he will hardly ever do in Round 1 or 2 as he will always go for the safeguard first, unless he knows he can cause major damage.

You may have noticed that Mew despite being a shiny has still got max stats. That's because for Mew, I had it's stats completely ignore it's genetics (Maybe a hint at Round 4), so the stats weren't effected by it's shiny status. As for the battle itself. I feel that I shouldn't have started with Zapdos, and instead started with Starmie. I was apprehensive to switch out which is what I normally would do, because the Rival was much more offensive in this battle than in any of the others. Instead I thought it was a better choice to sacrifice a few Pokemon instead of switching out. The latter giving him another turn.
