[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Dragonstrike]

But what? If you want go for AoE Moves, Lindworm and his Dragonair can suffer some damage from the metal kaiju, and switching out your Pokémon with new ones will clear them of the Intimidate Debuffs layed on them. The new additions won't even suffer from the debuff since they've already procced on the Pokémon out, and give you the chance to reset the Initiative into your favor. Only problem is that Rhyxemplar going to get lit up soon after Yang is taken care of/he draws attention to himself, but Ageis Ferrum should keep him stable long enough to do his job....hopefully.

There's 3 'buts', actually.

1. If Rhyxemplar doesn't down every last Nuclear doggie, they're going to focus on him, and even he can only take so much punishment.  Getting swarmed by this many pokemon isn't fun, particularly when they can hit all of your pokemon for SE damage.  Hence why I said 'Lightspeed EQs' instead of just EQs.  Would have rather saved the item for later, but this encounter is getting silly.

2. Not really a factor in not doing it, but could the Dragonair potentially use E-Speed to get both themselves and the trainers in the air instead of attacking since Dragonair can fly?

3. If we stick with basing Rhyxemplar's level up moves on the book/Rhyperior's XY learnset instead of the updated ORAS/Gen 7+ one, I need to use the Rare Candy to teach him EQ since he's 6 XP short :/

I am not finding this encounter very fun, tbh.  And if the whole NRF is like this and the massive Rattata swarm, I'm really not looking forward to trying to deal with it...
