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

[Lord Windos]

Aaaaahhh, I've so looked forward to see Nightshade evolve into a beautiful beautiful Cherrim! <3 So looking forward to see Flower Gift Ability in battle. But, ehm, dumb question, what was Special Defense in this campaign again? (Vitality, right?)

Yeah, that just translates to a straight up Defense buff.  Flower Gift is a reeeaaallly strong Ability.  +2 Strength and Defense for the user and all their allies (and it stacks with moves, too) is straight up ridiculous.

Kinda similar to how strong Flower Veil is in pokerole, thinking about it.

Of course, the drawback is that it requires Strong Sunlight to trigger, and that any other Weather can instantly disrupt it. That, and if you focus down Cherrim first with EXTREME prejudice....well, it can't provide the buff to its allies if its Fainted, now can they?

Skill Swap and Ability changing Moves also play royal hell with Flower Gift, and Pokémon with Auto Weather/Cloud Nine completely ruin it too if they come out after the little morsel sets up Sun! In fact, it has anti-synergy with A-Vulpix, so you really can't use those together without screwing over one or the other....or both if the Sun is up, since Fire Attacks are ruinous to their long term survival.

Its a nice ability, but its far from over dominating imo.
