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

[Dragonstrike]

Absorb was only that powerful due to SE and HH, while Façade is his only real attacking move besides Tackle, which power would quickly be diluted by both your Pokémon's natural Vit to 2 Dice of damage ( STR (3) + 2 - Vitality (3) ) . That, and he WAS fighting against a Psychic type with Confusion abilities and a bug with Paralysis, Screech, and Fury Cutter/Electro Web/Electro Ball, so I thought using Façade only once per round would be fair enough, especially since he's not using Spore and Leech Seed to be even MORE annoying...

Starmie using Psybeam was an error on Iron's part.  Was supposed to be Psywave, which wouldn't have dealt the SE damage and has no Confusion chance.  And Starmie also doesn't know Confuse Ray yet, nor is the Confusion status the ultra powerful accuracy reducer that it is in the Celadon campaign.

Breloom also doesn't have to worry about bugs too much because Fighting resists bug.  Thus, he takes neutral damage from bug moves.
