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

[Lord Windos]

Typing just doesn't mean as much in general if you have sufficiently large damage pools and high enough defenses. Or the moves have just enough utility to make them worth using regardless of type (like Inferno's Burn chance or Electroweb's Dex drop)

I'll say that the scariest pokemon are ones that have a good synergy with a strategy of some kind (Grid and Calam), ones with many different options for how they attack and support (Gallade is going to fill this niche nicely), and ones that are incredibly difficult to wear down without losing 2 or 3 pokemon in the process at least (Solomon and Mamo kinda fit, but Aspis is a FAR better example here. Monsters like Milotic and other pokemon with 20+ base HP also easily fit here)

Yes, but SE and QE damage is always helpful to have since it ignores Dice Luck altogether when a move hits, and Resistances coupled with a high Vitality/Defense essentially make a Pokémon invincible (See Abaddon's battle against Bronzong!), so it certainly can and should play a factor in fights!

Using your definations, Michael, Raphael, and Abaddon all have highly effective set up strategies that dunks on most Pokémon, Apsis and Raphael are wonderful when it comes to the various ways to support the team with their wide/powerful/annoying moves , and for bulky beasts look no further than Apsis and Haneal, and eventually Lilith once she starts accuring HP Surprise!

Whoever wins this battle, I'm happy with how it came out.

I'm rather surprised that Nathan actually lost that battle despite not going at it full force, but its a pleasant one none the less! That Ven's money and generosity at work right there!

Still doesn't change the fact Ven sooner cuddle with a Florges than fight Nathan anytime soon, though!

Also, I'm FREE FROM EXAMS! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Now time to read everything else, and catch up some.....hopefully.
