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

[Dragonstrike]

If you're hypothesis is true, how are you going about to take care of the lot as efficiently as possible (Assuming all Deoxys Clones are in Range of All Characters attacks)? I'm just going to try and go ham with Genie using FISSURE and Arete using Fury Cutter to down Black Gem and then as many clones as possible, since they don't explicitly have the same Plot Armor that nulls Non-SE/PD Damage. If it works, then we have a lot less enemies to deal with!

If it works like I think it does, Fury Cutter can completely dismantle any two clones as soon as the PD Fury Cutter user gets to move.  Of course, that's probably going to draw a LOT of aggro from the Deoxys almost immediately.

Larger groups will be a bit more problematic, however, since the only STAB spread move I have that's super effective against Psychic is the boosted Attack Order.  That can knock a group of 6 down to 1 HP immediately if they're susceptible to the full power of PD damage, though, rather than half HP (if they have more than 50% HP remaining).

Sweet ideas! Grid's probably the best Fury Cutter user you have atm (If he's wearing the Choice Scarf, the pseudo gimped helm), so you're going to have him reduce the two attacking Purple Speed Cloens to fritters? If you take care of them, I can have Terra go over and screw around with that big makeshift antenne and it's attendants or the Black Gem Deoxys Clone to draw some aggro to him instead, but it'll put him out of range of the Artifacts most likely in the process.

Speaking of Deoxys Clones, are the only two ones that are currently attacking the two Purple Speed Clones? Or are their more targets than they?

Opted for the ElectrIzer instead, actually.  Grid has things other than Fury Cutter he might be needing to use (like Electroweb).  Zippy, on the other hand...

At the moment, it seems to only be those two speed forme Doexys with purple gems, as they're the only ones in the Initiative.  But again, I expect that to change starting in the next Round.

Correct, just two are on your battlefield right now.

Hmm....well, I say that's a fine idea. Electro Web, Thunder, and Electro Ball are all pretty stellar Moves that benefit from it, so nice choice there! And Zippy has the Choice Scarf?

Alright, in that case, what do you think I should do: stay with the group and let Grid PD Fury Cutter the two poor sods to death and act as a failsafe in case they actually manage to survive, but bring full aggro on Nathan/Grid, or have Terra split off to go harass the Atenne Crew/Black Deoxys on the assumption that Nathan will take care of things just fine to draw/split the aggro, but leave him vulnerable in the process? I'm fine with either option, but I want to hear your input on this, since you're leading the charge and hold the capability of KOing those Purple Speed Clones faster than they are.

Yes, Zippy has the Choice Scarf.  Given that all he's going to be doing is attacking if/when he appears on the battlefield, that oughta allow him to shred some Psychic types with his Bug moves.

I honestly think we should stick together.  Splitting up is only asking for the smaller groups to get overwhelmed by larger numbers without the support of all of the Artifacts.

Fair enough! Hope the little honey bee does well, if he gets called to defend his kingdom and Vespiqueen!

Very well, then Terra sticks with the group! Proceeding to write orders now!

People, do you forget right now Heart have the Frozen Roar? Maybe I could use to turn the numbers to our favor if I manage to scare more or less 6 of them. In case it doesnt work, I will take care of Rainbow and the Red Gems Deoxys. Thanks to the upgrade form of Dark Pulse, those evil dwelers will receive SE dark type damage all the way to hell, with chances of get Flinched.

The Rainbow Gem Deoxys is likely the fully legendary Prime, and splitting up is likely suicide given how ridiculously tough these Deoxys clones apparently are.  I'd honestly prefer it if we stuck together to tackle this.  This isn't a situation where we can be heroes individually.

Frozen Roar could be a good thing to try, but be careful.

Second this, mates. Dragonstrike's rarely wrong when it comes to tactics and strategy, and going solo against the Legendary Horde is a Bad Idea ® unless you're prepared to take heavy losses, so sticking together seems to be the best idea for now. If anything, you could use the upcoming Round to help set up your Pokemon/do some disruption at the Deoxys' fortifications , like what Genie will end up doing if Grid wombo combos the Purple Speed Clones to Faint.

If you could scare off some of the clones with Frozen Roar, go for it! If Heart's the one holding it, though, use it's buff on either Grid or Kelda, as the Helping Hand buff it provides could be the edge they need to overcome those accursed copies.
