Sedusa VS Grimmsnarl

Sedusa VS Grimmsnarl is 7494pinguisback/Dolphboi's tenth Death Battle of his first season and his tenth battle overall. It features Sedusa from The Powerpuff Girls and Grimmsnarl from Pokemon together.

Description
Hair is often a blessing, but it can be also used for dark, or even malicious intent. Today, two of these hair-weilders come face-to-face with each other.

Interlude
(Cue Jim Johnston - Invader)

Wiz: As a fashionable blessing, hair is considered to be beautiful. However, some can use it with dark intentions, going as far as to weaponizing it.

'''Boomstick: And these two combatants show that hair ain't just for fuckin' around. Sedusa, the manipulative mistress of Townsville!'''

Wiz: And Grimmsnarl, the Bulk Up pokemon.

Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick!

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to figure out who would win a Death Battle.

Sedusa
(Cue City of Soundsville - Townsville)

Wiz: The city of Townsville. Home to the Powerpuff Girls and their many adversaries. Sugar, spice and everything nice was needed to make the perfect little girl, but once the professor added Chemical X, the Powerpuff Girls were born.

'''Boomstick: It should also be noted that crime in Townsville was very rampant. Like, by a lot. Have you seen how bloodthirsty Fuzzy Lunpkins looked in the movie?!?'''

Wiz: Yes, it is true that crime rates are rampant, even after the creation of the Powerpuff Girls. It seems that if you were ever to take a trip there, you were more likely to see a robbery, someone getting mugged, or Mojo Jojo on one of his schemes.

'''Boomstick: For example, one of Townsville's biggest criminals is a mad mistress who should've gotten more episodes focusing on her, and this crook is named... Sedusa!'''



(Cue Chemical X Traction - Sedusa's theme)

Wiz: As one of the many supervillains in Townsville, Sedusa is a woman bent of stealing loads of jelwery and money.

'''Boomstick: As you can tell by her name, the main schtick around her villainy is that she's a bad chick... a hot one, really!'''

Wiz: Exactly. Her cunning intelligence and deceptiveness allows her to make men do her bidding as part of her schemes, like when she controlled the Gangreen gang for instance. And as a bonus, her disguises make her acts believeable, such as the time she impersonated Ms. Bellum.

'''Boomstick: Well, that's not the only thing that makes her a badass! The main thing that makes her stand out is her batshit crazy hair! Just look at it writhe!'''

Wiz: Well, the reason why her hair is like a bunch of snakes is because she is directly based off of a creature from Greek mythology, Medusa. Using her hair, she can bring out powerpull blows simlar to punches. In fact, with just her hair alone, she was able to hold up a fair fight against the Powerpuff Girls.

'''Boomstick: And that's not all, using her hair gel, she can stick it onto her opponents, preventing them from moving! That's... not how hair gel actually works though, is it?'''

Wiz: We should also note that Sedusa has taken multiple blows from the Powerpuff Girls during her time as a supervillain in Townsville, giving her some above-average durability, considering that the Powerpuff Girls have been known to burst through asteroids.

'''Boomstick: However, that's nothing compared to this! If she gets the scepter, amulet and tiara of Cleopatra, she can become a giant, superpowered egyptian goddess, literally becoming what Medusa would be like as a kaiju!'''

Wiz: In this form, she gains incredible strength and magical abilities, such as invincibility towards the girls' attacks and firing beams of energy from the sceptre. Not to mention she was easily able to destroy most of Townsville with these artifacts in her possession.

'''Boomstick: But she can't access these powers if she doesn't have all the artifacts or when the tiara is knocked off of her! On top of that, she doesn't usually have access to the artifacts. At all. So much for reaching your full potential...'''

Wiz: But that's not the only problem. Sedusa's hair is the primary source of all of her abilities, which means only one thing...

"...My hair! What happened to my hair?! YOU BROKE MY HAIR!!"

Wiz: Without her hair, she is nothing. Water can make her lose control of it, therefore nullifying it's properties. It should be also noted that she has suffered from baldness after the events of Something's a Ms.

'''Boomstick: And despite all her genius robberies that sometimes go untraced, she's not a perfect genius. She once tried to seduce the Professor, DESPITE her cover already being blown, and got sent to jail as a result. You know, I've made up my mind. I ain't dating 'er!'''

Wiz: Yeah, but she's still earned her reputation as a jewlery-nagging woman.

"Two down, one to go. You girls stick around while I finish your sister!"

Grimmsnarl
(Cue Pokemon Sword/Shield - Route 3)

Wiz: Galar is one of the eight reigons of the Pokemon universe that we have today, presenting a British aesthetic and dozens of new Pokemon to discover and battle with.

'''Boomstick: Now I know where to go for my vacation! Go, Grookey Gang!'''

Wiz: However, one certain pokemon in this reigon posseses a unique typing out of all of the others. Meet Impidimp, the Dark/Fairy-type pokemon.

'''Boomstick: Awwww, look at the lil' gremlin! No wonder he's a fairy!'''

Wiz: Well, don't be fooled by it's cute and cuddly appearance. According to the Rotom dex, it breaks into people's homes to steal all of their belongings and feeds off of the negative emotions of those targeted by sucking them in through it's nose.

'''Boomstick: So not only is this guy a robber, but he can smell your FRUSTRATION? What the hell?!?'''

Wiz: Well, there's it's less-jerky evolution, Morgrem, who is said to have the power to make crops grow. That sounds amazing unless it tries to lure you into it's woods so that it can stab you with it's hair.

Boomstick: Alright, I can take being a sly predator over being an asshole.

Wiz: However, those two are nothing compared to the final evolution in the Impidimp line. The Bulk Up pokemon itself, Grimmsnarl.



(Cue Pokemon Sword/Shield - Piers battle theme)

Wiz: As the only Dark/Fairy-type pokemon and evolutionary line, Grimmsnarl is a force to be reckoned with. Both it's design comes from many mythological creatures such as trolls and goblins, while it's name is a reference to the Brothers Grimm, who traveled around the world and gathered folklore and fairy tales to gather them into one book.

Boomstick: Considering all that inspriation, this pokemon really lives up to his or her nature!

Wiz: Well, Boomstick, here's something you should know. The Impidimp family is actually 100% male, meaning that no females are present within the species.

'''Boomstick: So it's a dude? No wonder he looks like a monster from a heavy metal album cover!'''

Wiz: In fact, the Grimmsnarl line is a direct counterpart to the Hatterene family, who are 100% females. While Grimmsnarl is Dark/Fairy, Hatterene is Psychic/Fairy.

'''Boomstick: So a troll and a pastel witch are fairies? Now that's something you don't see everyday!'''

Wiz: Right, but let's compare the two. While Hatterene is a bit sluggish and has much more long-range potential, Grimmsnarl goes for physical offense, his base Speed stats being higher than hers and having much higher Attack stats as opposed to Special Attack.

Boomstick: While Hatterene can take you out from a distance with stuff like Psybeam, Grimmsnarl prefers to get up close and personal to break your friggin' skull!

Wiz: With physical offense as it's main priority, Grimmsnarl is the only known pokemon capable of knowing it's two signature moves: Spirit Break, a fairy-type move where he strikes the opponent so hard that he breaks their spirit, and False Surrender, a dark-type move where he pretends to bow his head, only to stab the opponent with his hair.

'''Boomstick: Wait, he STABS you with his hair? How?!?'''

Wiz: Well, all of the so-called "fur" around Grimmsnarl is actually his hair itself. For him, it works exactly like muscle fibers and is capable of splitting into a few tendrils on his hands when he attacks. Using this hair, he can overwhelm and beat even a Machamp.

'''Boomstick: So you're telling me that he can not only amp up his strength with his own hair, but he can BEAT THE ABSOLUTE SHIT OUT OF A MACHAMP? And those guys can deliver a thousand punches in 2 seconds and lift a boulder TWICE as large as they are!'''

Wiz: Not to mention that each punch a Machamp can bring is equal to one million tons of TNT. This, combined with the pokedex entry, means that Grimmsnarl's physical strength is dangerously higher.

'''Boomstick: But he doesn't just learn his two signature moves, he can learn plenty of others as well! For example, by his name, he is capable of using Bulk Up, tensing up his muscles to increase it's defense and attack!'''

Wiz: In addition, he is also capable of knowing the following moves: Foul Play, Dark Pulse, Dazzling Gleam, Play Rough, and Incineroar's signature move, Darkest Lariat. Plus, with his type combination, he is immune to Psychic and Dragon-types, as well as being resistant to Ghost and Dark-types.

'''Boomstick: But that's not all, the dynamax phenomenon in Galar allows the pokemon fights in the reigon to become big-ass kaiju battles. This phenomenon allows pokemon to change their size and increase their HP stats, allowing them to take more of a beating!'''

Wiz: There's also gigantamaxing, where certain pokemon have their appearance drastically change, and Grimmsnarl is no exception.

Boomstick: When he becomes a badass giant, he turns into some friggin' Evangelion kaiju by elongating his hair to the point where it's larger than his normal self!

Wiz: When dynamaxed in general, pokemon like Grimmsnarl are capable of of using Max Moves, powered-up attacks for each type. For example, Max Darkness, Max Phantasm and Max Knuckle.

'''Boomstick: But then there are G-Max moves, signature attacks for each gigantamax pokemon! For Grimmsnarl, it's G-Max Snooze, similar to Max Darkness except he makes his opponent sleepy in the next turn after lashing his hair out at them..!'''

Wiz: That's not all. In fact, according to the pokedex, a Gigantamax Grimmsnarl's hair enhances it's strength so much that it can create huge holes in the ground with just it's drill kicks alone, as well as jump over the tallest building in the world.

'''Boomstick: For your information, that would be the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which is 828 meters tall. However, it would've been topped by the Jeddah Tower in a few years by 1008 meters!'''

Wiz: With all of his badassery however, Grimmsnarl is not a perfect pokemon. It's weak to steel, poison and fairy-type moves and doesn't rely much on physical defense in exchange for Special Defense stats. On top of this, his base Special Attack stats are a bit lower than his Attack stats, but not too much to make him a formidable foe in long-range attacks.

'''Boomstick: And remember the whole Gigantamax ability? Well, he can't use it unless he's in an area with dynamax energy.'''

Wiz: However, despite his flaws in both his stats and vulnerability to poisoning, Grimmsnarl is a beast that's worth his unique typinng.

Boomstick: I think competitive Pokemon players agree with that too, Wiz...

Intermission
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
