I'll go first.

Pearl takes a lot of categories. I don't exaggerate anything when I say thousands upon thousands of years of experience. She was Rose's right-hand gem in the Gem War, being trained in professional sword combat and later becoming a teacher. I realize intelligence barely matters in a fight, but when it comes to battle smarts, Pearl takes it there, too, as the experience shows. I'm not entirely sure about speed, but I'm pretty sure Pearl loses here, seeing as how she doesn't have many speed feats to begin with. As far as strength goes, Pearl kicked away a boulder flung at her by Sugilite, while Penny stopped a speeding van in its tracks, giving her the win there, too. Durability-wise, Pearl easily takes this, too. Penny was dismantled by Pyrrha's magnetic powers slicing her up, but Pearl has tanked numerous explosions and survived the vacuum of space, and she took a pretty big beating from Sugilite. Really, the only time she was ever poofed was when she was straight-up impaled by Holo-Pearl. And I'm not sure if this can be taken into account, but Pearl has a lot of mechanical know-how, seeing as she's built and repaired huge, complicated machines that rival that of Peridot's. Not entirely sure if this will help her against Penny, a robot, but I figured it was still worth mentioning.

Penny may take it in speed and strength, but Pearl has it in every other category.

Your move, Riolu.
