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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

(...) Would also be nice to have all three Pledge moves available to the party, and Nathan's probably the least adversely affected by a -1 Dex effect.

Fire Pledge is something I'm already anticipatingly seeking out for Braixen, partly because I'm enjoying these Unovian moves lots not only for their power but for what can be done with them if combined correctly, and mostly because it's practically fire magic that just matches my fierly fox like nothing. <3 Curious to see what idea you've brought up for these, Iron!~

If you want that Snivy, go and take it, I don't mind. I'm loving the whole evo-line, but outta-chara I've played with this grassy snake in the official Games often enough + bred enough Snivys in Gen.7 that I'm satisfied, in-chara Shiva already has enough Pokemon that she'd like to bond with and train, and Snivys aren't hard to obtain to breed more later down the line if you're a native Unovian and have a Prof.Breeder as your dad.

Hmm yeah you right. Abbadon indeed have Safeguard to protect against Status moves. It might be useful. Do Shiva interested in joining Heart against the swarm of Paras and Swromish? Heart might need some help against those nasty foes. And I quite sure need some XP like Heart.

Oh yes, I gladly join you in taking care of this pseudo-madatory Encounter, and already somewhat know which Pokemon I'll send out - depends however, it's not yet written in stone as I'd rather not use many resources in this Encounter if it can be avoided. Before running into it, I'm having some questions to please be answered @Iron: (I'm hoping you have time to give your input to it despite your folk's visiting, as it'll have quite an influence on actions and I can't carry on unless it's clarified)
EDIT: Okay, for the sake of pace I'll carry on in GameThread anyway, but I might edit things to match after you've answered.


- Shiva already has several means to feed a Pokemon with her, so far except food for carnivores. If she'd take a portion of it and offer it to the Shroomish and Paras in a friendly manner from a safe distance not unlike the bait that is used in Safari Zones, can a free action be won that Heart can use to cast a Safeguard over the scene with Ven's Wobbuffet? Probably need an Insight+Allure or Empathy-Check, which I'm down for. How good are the chances that she'll succeed on this, how hostile do these Shroomish and Paras look/feel?

- Additionally, can I keep Tropius out and let him create a not necessarily damaging gust of wind whenever our foes release spores or powder in order to prevent them from reaching our side? If this takes an action, it's fine. Tropius is also immune to sleep because of his Grass Type one way or the other.


Heart, Paras also may know Slash, so if you're fine with it too we should deal with this one first. As soon as a Safeguard is up, their both's Effect Spore won't do anything to us anymore, yay!
