Talk:Lance vs Cynthia/@comment-28319385-20200114175737

If you give both of these Champions any move, ability, and item they've shown on their main partner, then Lance has this in the bag. Even if Cynthia Mega Evolves her Garchomp:

0 Atk Garchomp-Mega Outrage vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 175-207 (71.7 - 84.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

0 SpA Dragonite Blizzard vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp-Mega: 244-288 (87.1 - 102.8%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO

0 Atk Dragonite Extreme Speed vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Garchomp-Mega: 49-58 (17.5 - 20.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Since Lance's Dragonite has shown to have the ability Multiscale in the past, we can use that on him and boy does it help him out, giving him the durability he needs to survive the first hit, then after a Blizzard and an Extreme Speed, Cynthia's Mega Garchomp is done for. I understand the way I'm saying Lance wins is through Game Mechanics, but outside of Game Mechanics, we don't know who wins, because neither Champ has a feat putting them above another. One of the reason people say Red would beat Cynthia and the other Champions  is because he has feats, like beating and catching Legendary Pokemon, a level the other Champions haven't shown to be on, so when it comes to Lance and Cynthia, all we can really do is use Game Mechanics with them in their battle, and in the end, Lance comes out on top.
