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

[Spiritmon]

Wait a bit @Iron, making changes in my post.

Hey, @Lord Windos, if Terra could pick at least a few of these ephemeral flowers he found and bring them to Shiva, I'd greatly rejoice. Do you think he could that? With 3 Points in Nature Speciality and 5 Insight at the moment, maybe she could tell more about them and how they could be useful.

Well, I gonna certain take Spinarak them. A nice pokemon with status moves its a powerfull combination.
I still wondering if I should take the Silk Scarf or the Grimer. I already have the Wilde Lens Ventus give to Heart.
But the Punch Tms I gonna take for sure. I will try to take the Giga Drain and Iron Tail TMs in the future.

Or you could take the Wide Lens and give it to another member of the party if you don't want a spare one.  That's an option too.  Grimer would also require raising it a little to be decent.

Peronsally, I'd take one of the rare items over Grimer.

I should also note that Wide Lenses are purchasable at the Department Store, btw. (though Nathan won't be picking one up from there any time soon, if ever). The Silk Scarf is easily the rarest item on that particular list since it's not easily purchasable in a location we've visited already.

And there is another factor: Zubats is common in caves. But no one have Fury Attack as far I can remember...hmm this is something to consider too.

Is a non-STAB Fury Attack really worth it, though?  I'd personally be very unlikely to use the move unless I was trying to finsih off a low HP opponent.

A STAB, Silk Scarf boosted Fury Attack/Swipes is much scarier, as Tanuki recently showcased.

You right...A non-STAB dont wortly the trade. And it would take some time to make Zubat be strong. And I can easily find one in the caves (this is kind a parody in the pokemon world). With process of elimination, Spinarak then.

In that case I take Silf Scarf. This item will be useful in the future.

He'll pick a few of them to show to Shiva, since he knows they share an interest in plants from their introduction!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! *hugs* I look forward to hunt rare plants and natural objects together with him: He has the high Survival to find things while she has the high Insight to determine the finding, sounds like a good team.

SS Fury Attack is terrifying indeed, but a SS Return is equally terrifying in its own right, even if its not on a Normal type! Anything can learn that Move except special cases, and a STR + *6 Move (At Max Happiness) is effectively equal to Façade in sheer power, and all without having to be Statused! Silk Scarf in general is pretty good for any Pokémon with Normal Moves, really!
