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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Problem with using Delphox is that Breloom will have Mind Reader Spores, Stun Spores, and Stone Edges/Facades to thoroughly disabuse them of the notion that the kick boxing shroom is an easy mark. Spore to Sleep them, Stun Spore to cripple them, and/or Stone Edges and Façade to burn their HP down into the ground, essentially. Leech Seed could also be used to further wear them down, but Michael would rather destroy a Fire type than try to stall it out.

Michael's ALWAYS Poisoned by his Toxic Orb, so Magic Room wouldn't work and undermine your own strategy, but Heal Block would be an effective means to stop his regenerating shenanigans, but she would still have to fear Façade giving her a concussion.

Overall, though, those are rather nice ways to prevent Michael from functioning like how he wants, but he would be FAR from defenseless or weak against them. That, and Pluse/Minus and your mice on the field would trigger it, giving him a monsterous + 2 STR, which is just ruinious if with Façade if you ask me!

- Even with Mind Reader Spores one successful Putting-Delphox-to-sleep would be nullyfied by a held Chesto Berry, and the fiery mage has the chance to hurt him with Mystical Fire or chant a Fire Pledge while Michael sets up depending on the Init order. But true, I missed that he has Stone Edge, that makes him dangerous.
 
- Really? I thought Magic Room blocks the effects of Held Items as well, but if the poisoning is 'automated' then it won't work and Heal Block combined with changing a Breloom's Ability would be a better choice.


- Of course he wouldn't be 'weak or defensless' my dearest, but since the Poison Heal-Toxic Orb Combo plays quite a role in his power I've been think on how to cross this with priority.

- Nope, the +2 Strenght is only triggered if there is Plus and Minus on one's own field, having Plus at Shiva's side and Minus on Michael would not trigger it as confirmed by GM.
