Well that creates an interesting proposition. My character knows next to nothing about pokemon battles specifically, but he has experience and training in combat, so ideas like guerilla tactics, pyrrhic victory and team play are all natural to him. Keeping the Poliwag busy while the others win their battles will be common sense to Havoc.
