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

[Dragonstrike]

Nice. In the Games, an Iron Ball only has a positive effect if combined with Fling (move). Well, let's see if some additional use can be found here!

There is one other use for the item, though it requires your pokemon to know Switcheroo, Trick, or Bestow.  The holder is slowed down considerably, and are grounded if they're in the air.  It's a shame the rulebook uses the Gen 6 X and Y moveset tables for anything before Gen 7 pokemon.  Otherwise, Plusle would be able to learn Bestow and Minun would be able to learn Switcheroo for 13 exp since they learn it at level 13 in OR/AS and SM!  Well, I guess they still could, as long as Iron gave you the OK on doing so...

It makes me a little sad that the pokerole creators haven't fully updated the book's data to match the changes that came with OR/AS to many pokemon movepools (Ralts can learn Draining Kiss, a move it only got through leveling in OR/AS, but Kirlia can't?  And neither can get Disarming Voice?  Hmmm...).  I know it's a lot to update, but still...

They probably are just waiting until the next game comes out to update everything. I doubt they have the time and money to constantly rework the guide. I'm still impressed with the amount of work put in it, so even if its missing some detail, we can still get along just fine!
Oh, and thanks for not KOing Apsis! I'm glad that she was able to do something to that Ponyta of yours. Horses are the worse enemies of snakes, after all...

Yeah, I know they're probably busy. It's just slightly irritating, is all. But that's what homebrew rules are for, I guess.

Yeah, Nathan knows what it's like to see your pokemon get KOed (dat Cubchoo was crazy, man...).  Not fun.  He wouldn't willingly wish it on anyone.  You're rather lucky that all 3 debuffs proced on the first attempt!  Think Ventus can handle Nathan without them, though?  It took all 3 to bring down Swiftfire, and she nearly KOed Aspis by herself.  Imagine what she'd do to something weak to fire!
