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

[Lord Windos]

Yeah, Nathan's had a rough day, and he's...incredibly frustrated right now.

And he's got pressing concerns for both Ralts and Furret (plus her egg), so that's another factor.  Among...other concerns as well.

Looking forward to seeing just  how much havoc the almost-was-a-tank dragon is going to dish out on the battlefield since it can properly utilize Hustle (unlike poor Ariel)

Though on that note...this is another weird case in our campaign style of a pokemon having a noticeable advantage over its evo that it otherwise wouldn't have...first case is Dragonair and its MASSIVE HP stat (Dragonite's only advantage without changes/surprises is a slightly larger movepool).  And now we have Zweilous arguably having higher offensive potential for physical sets (though Hydreigon has a much better potential movepool to try and make up for that, particularly on the special side)

Which was a damn shame, since it started so well for him..... Darn it, why can't Nathan be happy for a long period of time for once? It would make it sooooo much easier to like and bond/re-bond with him if he was like that, and actually become more understanding and sympathetic to his plights/views.....

Me too, especially when Azrael acquires Crunch and Fire Fang later on to rip and tear her enemies into nice blood chunks, and Dragon Breath to take advantage of her draconic nature! Having Dragon Rage from the get go is also nice too, since it can be used to quickly burn down anything but Fairy types in short order if their HP is below 6-8 due to spam. Which is most Pokémon even with max Vitality, now that I think of it! Fire in the hole, *Fwoosh!*

Eyup, that is a bit of the proverbial pain in the kiester when it comes to those two, but like you said Dragonite gains several moves that Dragonair doesn't get and can take advantage of being part Flying type to avoid ground moves (Though being Flying has its own disadvantages too), and much the same can be said for Hydreigon, particularly since it gets Hyper Voice, Tri Attack, and Outrage right off the bat to do some truly atrocious things to whatever crosses them. Levitate is nice too, since it means it has one more immunity and can be flown around on!
