Yeah, it wasn't a pretty situation for Glaceon.
I will point out a rule I haven't really announced yet: Sometimes I'll alter the effects of a move a bit if Metronome is what creates it, to fit with the rolled power of the move. For example, it would be fair to use a 5-strength super effective move in place of a 6 strength normal move. Fire Blast could be worth up to 8 power, if you see what I mean, because it has a status chance and a super effective typing in that scenario. But it was a 6, so either way Glaceon had a good chance of going down!

That's a good rule, I think. Means Metronome can pick a status move if necessary, like what just happened. For a roll of 5, I'd say Pain Split was a pretty solid pick since that move can be incredibly valuable! Shame it doesn't even out HP in Pokerole, though...

That Abra of Shiva's is such a troll! That Pokémon will be fun to be around!

And we have immediate access to Teleport too, if we need it for anything. I can imagine that using it to try and ambush an enemy from a direction they weren't expecting could be quite useful!

Oh my. I hope Aspis is ready to flinch that Swinub into oblivion with Bite!

I have a question: Does the enemy have to go through my Vitality (2) in order to deal damage?
RE: [Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins - Iron - 05-24-2017
Of course. Your vitality score is subtracted from the enemy's damage dice pool. I usually only display that math on the first round of damage, but for example Powder Snow looked like this:
3 Str + 2 power + 1 STAb -2 vitality -2 charm = 2 dice

Nathan gasps as he sees Ekans reel back from that last mud slap. Encouragement is a little difficult right now. Plusle and Minun are looking a little sad, as is Ralts. The overall mood has suddenly become a little more solemn. It doesn't look like Aspis is going to be able to pull this off without some incredible luck.
Well, Ventus certainly feels that mood change for the worse. Hopefully he'll muster the will to go on...

Don't worry, Nathan will make up for it after the battle. I'm sure Ralts, Plusle, and Minun will offer some encouragement too!

Good battle, Ventus.
I'm off to bed. I'll check in the morning but I won't have time to run anything complex until I'm done with work! They're calling for a storm tomorrow, so maybe I'll be home early?
