[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Huh, that caused Shiva to go silent for a little to think over which Pokemon she, and then the group has that may benefit from a sandstorm. ...Her Comite came to her mind first! Followed by Heart's Ar- Lairon. Ven's Numel likely won't mind either, same with his and her Magneton!~

Eventually, after a little, she carefully spoke up again, looking thoughtful. "Guess it's better to only cast a sandstorm then when the advantages outweight the disadvantages. Sand Rush is a cool Ability, at home we mostly breed Lilipup that'll have this Ability when they evolve for customers. But if there's only one or two Pokemon on the field that don't mind or even benefit from both the storm and the hail, this probably brings out the best of these particular weather changes. Like... well, I think I'll only let Vulpix battle when it's safe. Or indoors, as then her skill of summoning a hailstorm is surpressed!"

"A...anyway, I realized that weather changes in battle shouldn't be done because you feel like it, but it can bring quite a benefit if done so with an intention. Like, Braixen's firepower grows amazingly if his inner flame is set ablaze and even powered up by the sunshine my sweet Cherubi summoned. Overdoing it will likely develop into chaos I think, or backfire, the sun and rain were my main...sentiments...to have, I mean."

"Yeah, Hail's probably the hardest weather to use...aside from Ice types, only pokemon with Overcoat, Magic Guard, most abilities that benefit from Hail directly, ones that know Blizzard, and ones wearing Safety Goggles can actually safely fight in it or benefit from it.  And on top of that, the trainer has to be equipped for those damaging weathers too if there's no suitable cover, lest they also take damage from it...though summoning an aurora is probably more than enough justification for starting a hailstorm.  It'd be...nice to see that one day...shame that TM is only produced in Alola currently...but I guess that makes sense if it's also the only place that can really sell it since few pokemon can use it as well as the Alolan Vulpix line..."

Nathan shrugs at Shiva's next comment.  "Changing the weather is what Castform do.  Maybe Forthright will eventually call on the Rain as well, but...it's not exactly very fitting of her namesake if she doesn't at least get the hang of clearing the skies to let the light shine on the battlefield.  Maybe she'll be soaking up the sun's rays one day as well to complement the literal firepower..."

...

"...that's not here or now, though.  For now, I'd like to just focus on going through each of her different Forecasts once she's learned Weather Ball.  It won't be long before she learns it...she was just starting to form the clouds into a ball earlier."
