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

Yeah, Eshouten naturally learns a couple interesting moves that can benefit from Serene Grace.  And you're probably more likely to find an Owten somewhere than a Togepi.

Eshouten's pool of moves affected by Serene Grace is by no means huge, of course.  I believe Blissey has the honor of having the biggest pool since she's a generic normal type, and thus has an impossibly large amount of coverage moves compared to most other pokemon.  But again, with these Serene Grace pokemon, it seems most of their moves affected by Serene Grace come from TM, Egg, and Tutor moves.

What I will give Eshouten is it has a large variety of potential effects that Serene Grace affects the odds of without having to use TMs.  You have boosted odds of stat boosts, flinching, and confusion all in one pokemon.  Variety without having to resort to more exotic methods is always a plus in my books.

Eshouten also have access to Tailwind and Sing for team support AND Sleep Shenanigans, learns Roost and U-turn for recovery and pivoting, can learn a surprising amount of coverage moves for the feline, learns Nasty Plot for MAXIMUM BUFFING (Which is convenient given, given we have a tutor for that move...), Pursuit and Trick to screw over opponents in nasty ways (That buff is already paying off!), AND has a useful alternative ability in the form of Tinted Lens that removes one layer of Resistence from its attacks (Even if its an HA, I think). Not bad showing at all for the caowl! Fragile as heck in the base game, but in Pokerole it would have a much better chance of flourishing than not!

I agree. In my opinion the best type of Pokémon its a versality one. One with access with many useful moves both offencive then defencive. And Owten have excelent to use and abuse a lot about Serene Grace.

Well, other pokemon have more to abuse with Serene Grace if we consider Tutor, Egg, and TM moves...Blissey probably being the one with the most at the expense of not having any to start with in her level up moves...

Fun Fact: I originally wanted to start out with a Serene Grace Chansey to match my character as a generous person that is willing to help out others, but then I got a gander at its movepool and decided to aim for the Togepi line instead, as that had far more offense use out of its Ability than not! Perhaps if he had started out with one, though, he may have never developed into who he is now in the campaign. What if, what if, what if....

Blissey is too much extensive about egg moves, TM, and move tutor, and since my char its not kinda rich, its necessary a good Pokémon to learn naturally good moves. Togekiss and Eshouten both acomplish that gools as field manipulators with status moves. And lets agree they both awesome cute, including Owten evolution line (I like cats a lot).
