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

[Dragonstrike]

Hmmmm...well, hopefully Nathan doesn't worry too much about Omanyte when he finds out Ventus traded it for Nincada.

That's a pretty good deal for that Stunky, though.  A shiny stone for Togetic, $2500, and a Toxic Orb is...a lot.  That's going to give Ventus a lot more options in the near future...I shudder to think how terrifying Michael and Raphael are going to be (Serene Grace Air Slash, Ancient Power, and Sky Attack and Poison Heal with permanent poison OP, yo)

Probably just going to get Encore for Raphael, then immediately evolve it for the rest of its kit. Shiva can always tutor it Nasty Plot later, if I want more POWER! Michael with Absorb, Leech Seed, Toxic Heal, and maybe Drain Punch/Facade/FOCUS PUNCH is indeed scary, but Raphael also gets Extreme Speed and Aura Sphere, the former is a strong Priority attack, while the later never misses ( so it can be spammed!). Add in the fact that both mons have Sleep status under their belt, and things get rather dire, don't they? Hehehehe..

Let's also not forget that Togetic immediately learns Magical Leaf upon evolving.  And that the evolution line's only Fairy STAB without a Dazzling Gleam TM is...Fairy Wind.  

I'd still consider Ancient Power.  With 3 chance dice, that's about a 42% chance to get +1 to all attributes.  Which is amazing.  And Togetic can learn Baton Pass, too.

Meanwhile, Air Slash and Sky Attack both have about a 60% chance to flinch with Serene Grace...ew.  We all know exactly how ridiculous that is already, right?

Wish is also pretty great for keeping the team topped up in between battles, even if it is a bit slower than say, Heal Pulse.
