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

[Dragonstrike]

I love it the cat face XD Anyway, Nathan can keep the Stealth Rock. Since it is his finding, Nathan have total right in keep it. As for the Miracle Rod, I gonna keep to myself. Unfortanely Nathan I have trade Ferroseed a time ago (I just dont know when). I just dont know yet what to do with such item. Maybe I should give the Miracle Seed to Larvesta for now and give the Miracle Rod to Viktor. 2 More HP its always a good thing, but he dont need to access the move Grass Knot since he already have many strong such as Horn Leech. Iron, even if no-grass type hold the Rod, other pokemons can hold it to gain access to Grass Knot? Or only Grass pokemon can use the Miracle Rod to gain the use of Grass Knot?

My 2 Cents: The impression I got was that only Grass types can use the item, as it rapidly stimulates their growth as long as they hold it from what the description seems to imply.  Which would imply that Viktor is the only pokemon Heart has that can actually use it.  And given that he already has Horn Leech, it's not exactly super duper necessary for him to have access to Grass Knot (as you already stated.  Grass Knot is also kinda awkward to use because it uses Survival and Nature instead of Fight and Canalize)

Given that there's 2 Stealth Rock TMs, I'd be willing to negotiate trading one to Heart if you wanted to teach the move to Iron/D-Onix.  I really only need to use the one, tbh.




Also, from an objective standpoint, it looks to me like Nathan's probably got the pokemon that benefit the most from the Miracle Rod. Given he still has less than 4 Vit, most of his Grass types (currently) have 3 base HP, and only one of them (currently) has access to a 3+ Power Grass move, they could potentially benefit a lot from both effects of the item. The Grass types Shiva commonly uses can all make up for lower power moves in other ways or also have access to 3+ Power Grass attacks.
