[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

Nah, I was eating, but thank you for clarifying positively.

Nah, I was eating, but thank you for clarifying positively.

If there is one thing I pick up from roleplaying games, its that you really have to be on point with the details of things. That, and keeping track of every little thing that happens! 'Sides, you can get pissed off at a game occasionally, but staying pissed off...its just not very smart.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Not only pissed off among all the positive, enjoyable things, but also frustrated, I fear. Or in Shiva's case, ice-cold in response.

@Dragonstrike, foolishly after our battle, I realised that I have the possibility to not only ignore an opponent's ability like I would with Mold Breaker ( = Swiftfire's Flash Fire is untouched), but outright get rid of it. It was there all the time. Take good care of this Round!~

Ah yes, good old Entrainment. Can be used to both benefit you AND screw over your opponent, all in the same go! I used an Entrainment Turant Durant, Sticky Web/SR Shuckle, and a Dugtrio with Protect and Hone Claws together to GREAT effect. You can also entrain something like Dancer or Water Bubble onto something else that would like it, making it even MORE deadly in the long run! Hehehe, what fun!

Ah yes, right. The cheerleader mice get Entrainment. However, Nathan isn't really reliant on the effects of Flash Fire too much, it just happens to be a VERY nice convenience when covering against a fire attack Besides, the only flash fire user it'd even be worth using a fire move on is Heatran, and that's still only neutral damage (and Heatran ALWAYS has Flash Fire as well since its HA is still unreleased).

Also, while getting rid of the ability did remove the effects in the Riff and Raff fight, let's also remember that was because Swiftfire hadn't used a fire move yet (according to the GM call). I don't know what would happen in the games should that occur, though. It's not a situation that's very practical to test...

Using it with dancer would be great! ...if Oricorio could learn the move, so getting it on a different pokemon without Trace or Skill Swap is tricky...Araquanid can actually learn the move though, interestingly enough...

Also, blegh. Entrainment Durant with a boosting pokemon...I remember that strategy for the battle facilities. Never wanted to use it myself. It makes everything waaaayyyy too grindy...

Ohh, what a scary (and fun!) combination you have there. Whoops, I was calling the move "Entertainment" instead of "Entrainment" the whole time...

How about getting rid of Grid's Compound Eyes then? Muahahaha! See you, -1 Accuracy on Thunder.

Alright, but there's other moves it can use which aren't reliant on Compound Eyes, so there's alternatives in that kind of situation (Bug Bite and Electro Ball come to mind, and Electro Ball is definitely something I want to look into using later on in the campaign).  And you still might have to deal with a +1 accuracy Fury Cutter first depending on initiatives.

I've seen a Lilygant and Oricorico combo, with Lilygant using QD and Roleplay to boost both Pokémon, then spamming Revelation Dance to great effect! Works great if the Ori also has Teeter Dance and Lilygant has own tempo, hehehe! Aquanid and Drizzle Pelipper/Golisceped/A bulky Water type also works wonders too, or so I've seen!
