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

[Dragonstrike]

That's actually a good thing in this case. Melly's attacking Electric Move is.....indiscriminately strong, to put it lightly. That, and between QA and Fire Fang, and the fact that his living blitzkrieg is on her last legs, she's 'fine'. Besides, with 5 STR backing your attacks, STAB and potential SE Damage are rendered nice bonuses rather than vital, like it was with Ventus!

To be honest, having low Vitality kinda sucks if you're facing opponents with high Strength. Having the stat affect both HP and Defense is really imbalanced for pokemon with low base HP.  Trying to setup is also a huge risk if your opponent doesn't do the same and has enough power to blow through your defenses.  That's really the main reason that those low power moves are so scary right now.

If I don't keep up some amount of pressure, I'm gonna fall behind really quickly. :/  I was really hoping Grid would have survived that QA so I could fire off four Fury Cutters to get some additional damage in.  And now I'm in the same situation with Snivy, too, thanks to that dual proc Fire Fang :/
