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

[Dragonstrike]

I think Ventus would need Stone Edge for couple of reasons since he and Nathan make a lot of work so they deserve the better reward. Aerial Ace would be awesome useful for Heart and Shiva too, and Thief would a interesting move for Phantump or another pokemon. But I really would like to have that Ice Beam for Gustav, since he is Water/Ground he have 4x weakness against Grass, so a good coverage would be interesting. But if Phantom really need the ice beam for marill she can have it. And with the chance to Freeze the foe is always something useful.

I personally don't think Gustav needs Ice Beam when he's going to eventually have Mega Launcher boosted Dragon Pulse, Dark Pulse, and Aura Sphere on top of Water Pulse, which all have the potential to hit as hard as a non-STAB 2x SE Ice Beam.

Marill, on the other hand, is rather lacking in the coverage department, unlike all our other water types. Plus, Shiva should get some kind of compensation for the trouble, and a strong move to defend herself with sounds perfect for that.
