[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"That could be. It was almost an electric blue, but it was at night so..."

"Unless you actually heard the crackle of electricity, I'd be more inclined to say it's not an Electric type.  And there's all those stories and general facts of the mushroom being the one controlling the pokemon at that point.  A Ghost type variant wouldn't surprise me, to be honest, particularly if it seems to be more common at nighttime.  Well, information wise, anyways.  I suppose it could theoretically still try to actually ambush unsuspecting safari goers...but maybe that glowing aura of its could potentially also make that harder for it..."

"In any case, got any general tips for goin' on Safari out there that you'd be willing to share?  I'm kinda new to this, but I'd like to do well in the Safari Cup tomorrow."

"Type matchups. Safari Zone Pokemon tend to be grass, bug, poison...few big Normal types like Stantler, Tauros, Kangaskhan. If you can find something to counter those, you'll do better. Gear. Repels don't help much. Spend that space on something else. No Pokeballs are allowed in the Zone except your Safari Balls, so you have to pick your items carefully. Can't reduce the weight automagically. Healing items are small and fit in your pack with no problems, but big stuff like cooking gear and tents can be a problem. Some forego a tent entirely and just rely on survival skills. Plenty of natural resources for raw materials."
