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

[Lord Windos]

Important question here, @Iron: Does the +2 Defense buff from Hail/Sandstorm stack with Defense buffs from moves or not?




Spiritmon, you'll have to edit your orders a little either way if you want to try and optimize this.  You'll need to account for Gargryph having -1 Pain after using Substitute.  Sandstorm will outright fail (or be relying on a Luck Die, which you can't use a Will Point on) due to having no dice in its accuracy pool if you stick with your current orders.  Edit: Fixed now!

Only abilities stack.

…So you are saying that the Defense Buff given by weather isn't inherent, but rather like an Applied Buff in mechanics? That doesn't make too much sense to me, if I am being honest. If Rock types in the games get a passive S.Def boost that doesn't 'count' as a Stat Buff, why can't that be taken as the given here? It allow more tanky Pokémon for both the players and you to exploit, but this is just my opinion here. Take it however you will, mate.
