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

[Lord Windos]

If I use the Torchic Tooth and Camp Training on it, Duskull will already have 2/3 Loyalty it needs to listen to Terra completely, so I don't think a Training Battle would work well for that purpose alone. Maybe for our Pokemon to gain XP and test out their new Moves, though, since that's always a nice thing to do. I'd rather have a Friendly Battle (similar to the ones against Nathan/Shiva) , though, since those are much more epic, fun, and XP lucrative!

Keep in mind that Torchic Teeth can create Happiness Debt by dropping pokemon with 0 Happiness to -1.  I'm not sure dealing with a depressed Duskull is going to be enjoyable...

Camp Training also raises a Pokemon's Happiness by 1 along with Loyalty if I recall, so those two effectively cancel each other out. Even then, a more obedient if miserable Skull Ruins Ghost is better than a Happy but Willfully Disobedient one. I and Terra would like to be true friend with them, but that's going to take a loooot of work regardless of whether the Tooth is used or not.

I could always use the TT on Anubi to make them totally Loyal to Terra and further delay their Evolution, but I just can't find it within myself to make an already Happy Pokemon less so than a Pokemon that hates my character miserable.
