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

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

No Guard essentially has been merged from the games , as it no longer gives No Miss status to a Pokemon's attacks. No sure why they changed it, but they did, so the ability is gimped, so to speak.

As for Aegislash...well, it can't be owned by anyone but the League champ, so you're stuck with Doublade unless you fancy breaking the law. Iron said so wasaaaay back. Think they did that for either plot reasons, or because stance change would work...oddly in his version of the game.

Don't worry about anything exclusive to Aegislash too much, Spirit.  Aegislash is a rather...special pokemon we probably will only see an important NPC towards the end of the campaign's climax/story using.

In thecase of No Guard, it's a pretty simple Ability.  Say we have a No Guard Machamp with Dynamic Punch.  You did indeed interpret the Ability correctly.  If Machamp doesn't use any Evade actions in a Round, its moves have no innate accuracy penalties.  Which means for Dynamic Punch, it just rolls Dex + Fight + Brawl for accuracy, ignoring the -5 (but not ignoring Pain).  In Honedge's case, it doesn't have any wildly powerful moves that benefit from the Ability, but it does have Metal Claw and Fury Cutter.

As for King's Shield not being in Aegislash's movepool...that's just an error on the writers' part, I imagine.  It's not the first one, either.  *stares at Fire Lash and Heatmor in the 1.2 book*

On top of that, it might be better to worry about this when it's more relevant.  There's no guarantees you'll find a Honedge at this time.  It is one of the rarest pokemon in Creshire, after all.

... wait. So own a Aegislash it's against the law?! That means I gonna be stuck with a pokemon half evolved and if I go around unless I become champion?! 

Man, this drop very much my enthusiasm in finding the metalic ghost. If I knew that I would pick another Pokemon. Even if I find a HoneEdge, I can't use it. And before I heard something like "But you don't need to evolve a Pokemon to play in the campaign". I know that, but I like evolve a Pokemon to his final form to have a sense of progress and experience. I don't like left a Pokemon with his second or first evolution.

I think I gonna change soon my post. Maybe Yamask or even Ghastly would be cool...man, I wanted so much a metalic ghost.
