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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

I think one of the interactions I'm looking forward to with Terra is Melly and Orthros roasting marshmallows together.  Simple, but it'll be a treat every time




Hmmm...who should I teach Psychic to?  Every pokemon that can learn Psychic learns it via level at some point in their evolution line.  The only exception to that is Darmanitan, the only pokemon that lists it as a ? cost move (though it also becomes 0 when it goes Zen Mode, so it seems to be intended almost exclusively for HA Darmanitan).

Nathan's Pokemon that can learn Psychic:
- Gallade (can't learn Psychic since evolving, but can pick up Psycho Cut for 36 exp.  Can also eventually get Stored Power for 64, and he already knows Dream Eater and Hypnosis)
- Orthros the Delta Houndour (Psychic is 49/56 exp, but he already knows Extrasensory.  Can also learn Psywave for 40/45)
- Solomon the Slowking* (Psychic is 45 exp.  He can pick up Zen Headbutt for 32)
- Ray the Primal Bulbasaur (Psychic is 44/52/62 exp.  No other damaging Psychic moves in his movepool, but he also gets Moonblast for 50/60/72)
- Solosis (Psychic is 37/39 exp.  Already knows Psywave, and Psyshock is 25 exp)
- Metang (After evolving Beldum.  Psychic is 41 exp.  Zen Headbutt is 29.  Will have -1 Str until it's a Metagross)

Any opinions, Windos, Phantom, and Spirit?  (You can jump in and offer an opinion too if ya want, Mika)

Didn't really think of THAT interaction, but that does sound mighty charming! Bit disappointed about Melly's HP, though, if I am being honest. She already had a Fire type move in Fire Fang, and given that it has 4 total Chance Dice and use Brawl, HP Fire ends up as kinda of a side grade, trading those effects for more power and Accuracy + Situation damage increase on Wood. Had I know ahead of time about that, I'd probably save the HP for Duskull or Dunsparse. Oh well...thems the breaks.

Hmm...well, I'd say that you should use the TM on Ray, in my opinion. Its a Grass/Rock type, which means that Fighting and (to a lesser extent) Poison types will give him problems, so a coverage Move would suit them well. If you need an alt. option, I would go with Solomon, as Zen Headbutt is a little inaccurate. Solosis or Gallade shouldn't be taught it, since their own learnable Psychic STABs can be learned for a pittance and are just as/more powerful than Psychic. You could, however, save Psychic for Beldum until they evolve into a Metagross, but it probably be for the best its taught soly Phys. Moves, due to them having Synergy with its Mega Ability Tough Claws.

That's my assessment, so take it however you may, mate!
