Yes, it can. However, no you can't reduce the reduce the accuracy of Explosion that way, because logically Metagross knows its going to Faint and therefore would want to allocate all its processing power to pull of Explosion, and Mechanically they can't possibly pull of Multiple Actions after going BOOM! That Move is an All or Nothing Attack, and will be treated that way accordingly

Keep that in mind, mates.

Fair enough.



That means it will have an accuracy pool of 4* + 5 + 3 + 2 = 14 D6, and a final damage pool of 8-12 D6 (depending on the target) before critting, @Spiritmon.

Evading this thing is gonna be tough.  On the plus side, Melchior and Magnezone can both tank an Explosion with only a very, very small chance of getting OHKOed (10 D6 -1 Damage before any potential prior experience bonus, yo.  Would have to get 9-10 successes on that damage roll.  Magnezone also can't be KOed in Round 1 at all due to Sturdy, which is good. Could still faint at the end of the Round if Sturdy is triggered and it takes additional damage afterwards, though).  Reiner and Lindworm are also very unlikely to be OHKOed as well due to their defensive accessories (Reiner could take a maximum of 9 damage from a critical Explosion, and he has 10 HP).  Dragonair has enough HP and Defense to easily tank an Explosion.  Arial, however...8 HP, 12 damage dice, no reductions aside from the potential bonus from prior experience.  Ouch.  He'd have to definitely evade to avoid the possibility of getting OHKOed.


I think that's everything in the immediate situation that needed to be assessed about using Explosion.  I hope. Just need to decide if we're going to use it or not...
