Archie vs Moby Dick

Conditions:
  • Battle takes place in the North Atlantic Ocean near the Azores
    Sperm-whales-001.jpg
  • First key Archie is used
  • Archie starts alone on a wooden whaling ship with 1 empty Poké Ball
  • Moby Dick starts in the ocean, directly in Archie's eye line
  • Both fighters are in-character

Archie scales to 0.086 tons of TNT, while Moby Dick scales to 0.01357 tons of TNT, giving Archie a ~6.34× advantage in AP

Archie: CrackerVolley, JustANormalLemon, AyOgUyS, King_Clab, Ztesrxgdfjcvgkbh, Poketmonsrs, Ninkan12

The matchup is very funny, but it's also kinda wierd.

Despite having a rather large AP advantage, Archie would basically need to be swimming or diving in order to throw hands (which sucks for reasons I'll explain soon), so his only feasible win condition is the Pokeball, which I would say is near guaranteed to capture considering how they can capture creatures much more powerful than a blue whale.

Meanwhile, Moby doesn't have much preventing them from smashing up the ship, which sucks for Archie as he's obviously not going to be moving as fast or punching as quick as he wants due to drag. HOWEVER, Archie's is blessed by trainer scaling to have Island level durability, but lacks meaningful lifting strength, leading to Moby's best win conditions being either dragging the man deep underwater until he drowns, or just eating the bastard whole.

And the stupidest thing about the vore tactic is that Archie's potential counterplay of using the Pokeball while being digested is that it's not even guaranteed to work since the two instances of Pokemon getting captured by swallowing a Pokeball have the exact opposite results.

However despite Moby Dick having more win conditions, I still think Archie just going for the capture is a more reliable win condition since skilled trainers are capable of accurately throwing Pokeballs while diving underwater, while the creature with High Animalistic intelligence will need to quickly realize that just attacking Maxie with a charge isn't going to work, which is something I doubt the whale will realize in time.

As a result, I think Maxie just barely eeks out a win over the White Whale.

Don't forget the starting position, that relativistic+ reaction speed allows for Archie to throw that ball with accuracy, and could even catch Moby Richard before the boat is broken.

I'm not sure if he's baller enough to jump of the boat to land a hit on Moby while falling, especially if he doesn't know his relative strength. Maybe ORAS Archie is.

Either way your analysis is stellar and vote is counted
 
wait, really? do you have scans for that?
This, if you stretch the definition: http://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/King_of_Pokélantis

I really misremembered the episode from back in the day lol. I thought it was an actual Poké Ball, not an "orb" shaped like a Poké Ball.

From what I can gather, Poké Balls scan specifically for human DNA and exclude it. I don't have scans for this, but it seems to be generally agreed upon on Reddit, though take that with a grain of salt since there's no scan. Even still, a whale isn't human DNA.
