[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

(Do we have precedent on whether the Sandstorm move keeps lasting after its owner is recalled? Is that only for things like Snow Warning?)

Yup!  Shiva's battle with Zamboni, Round 4.  Sun was present from Rounds 2-5, summoned by Nightshade.  Nightshade was not on the battlefield during Round 4, however, but Sunny Day persisted.  In addition, the book does not say the effects of Weather summoning moves end when their user leaves the battlefield.

Gallade analyzes the situation...he's slower than this Furret. And Furret is holding a Silk Scarf...

Perfect.  That means the ferret has to either predict what's going to happen, or attack blindly.  Conditional evasions aren't going to work.  Hypnosis and Dream Eater aren't common moves on Gallade, either, given how easy it is to evolve Kirlia into Gallade before it ever has a chance to learn them.   Tanuki might be caught off guard here.

"Give 'em what for, Gallade!"  3 Actions, with conditional orders for actions 2 and 3 based on if Furret is asleep or not.

Hypnosis 1 (burning another Will Point to add a success!)
Acc: 11 base - 4 Acc - 3 Actions + Will = 4 D6 + 1 success!
Effect: Inflicts Sleep if it hits!
Note: Sucker Punch and Me First fail if they attempt to out priority a non-attacking move.

If Furret is asleep...

Dream Eater 2 and (maybe) 3!
Acc: 11 base - 4/5 = 7/6 D6
Dmg: 4 + 5 + STAB + CP - 3 = 8 D6
Effect: Restores HP equal to half the damage dealt!

If Furret is not asleep...

Rock Smash 2 and/or 3
Acc: 11 - 4/5 = 7/6
Dmg: 4 + 4 + STAB - 3 + SE = 6 D6 + 1 Damage
Effect: -1 Defense (5)
