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

[Lord Windos]

Nathan might not have empathic abilities, but Kirlia does (to an extent).  If Shiva is willing to talk about it, Kirlia can help him with understanding if needed by relaying the important emotions.

As for that bond part...well, I've been building on that for awhile now, if you hadn't noticed yet.  But, Shiva has developed her bond with Ventus more than Nathan since he was a bit more separated from Ventus and Shiva for a good chunk of the campaign so far, I'll give you that much...I'm hoping that last post helps to show the results of how much that's developed recently, though.

I'd be more worried about further Acid Sprays.  Kirlia's weak to poison and not dark, all due to that fairy typing.  When he evolves into Gallade though...well, he's going to tear holes in both of those types.  And will have access to Swords Dance to counteract Charm/pokerole Acid Spray completely.  And Calm Mind also helps with mitigating Acid Spray a little.  And then there's Double Team.  Pretty easy to nullify a lot of the attacks that are incoming with that move in effect (as long as RNG doesn't screw ya over).

I'm somewhat conflicted on WHEN I want to evolve him, though...I was considering doing it pretty soon after I get the Dawn Stone, but now that his Dream Eater attack is only half the cost (normally it's 59 exp for Kirlia, now it's 29/30)...the other issue with it though is that Hypnosis isn't half the cost (and it costs 53 exp)...Charm (50), Future Sight (45), Imprison (39), and Lucky Chant (17) are all pretty tempting too...Magical Leaf (22) is another consideration, but isn't as crucial since Gallade gets Leaf Blade.  Heal Pulse (25) is also on the list, but also isn't an issue since Gallade can still learn it for the same amount of exp.

Your efforts in building the bonds between Ven , Shiva , and Nathan have far from gone unnoticed ; Ventus not Shiva would not be willing to help you out or feel guilty about causing him pain if they didn't consider him a close friend . Its that , no matter how hard we tried , it seems we can t get all the viterol and tension out of our friendship. We can be happy and chill one moment , and BOOM the mext! Its pretty hectic at times , eh?

Taunt can stop non damaging move outright , while Sleep from either Raphael or Michael ( Soon! ) makes it hard to dodge around , eh? That , and Apsis has access to Bind AND Paralysis to completely lock down a nything's movements , which means they won't escape her that easily. Or she could just clamp down on a body part of Kirlia and never let got , and just trash the psychic around by repeatedly smashing them against the ground HARD. Also , once Aoe  come into play, NOTHING can dodge them, so evasion is kaput aswell.

[]Gallade can take Apsis on more easily , but then they become a play thing to Raphael, and they have Priority , never miss moves and SE Flying STABs that can quickly whittle it down to a nub . Lucifer also can give the ESP fighter a hard time too with Leech Life and Flying STABs, but it has to watch out for Drain Kiss too...

I can help tutor ML through Shiva , and you can always as r up for Hypnosis first THEN get DE. I m still hording points for Spore , so if that does not tell you patience , then I don't know what will.
