Hmmmm...let's see...if we were going off of base Pokerole Base HP standards and only looking at the Pokedex data for each species...

- Volchik would have 3 Base HP (less than 3 feet tall, Basic Pokemon, and able to evolve)
- Voltasu would have 5 Base HP (Stage 1 Pokemon, just over 5 feet tall)
- Yatagaryu would have 7 Base HP (Stage 2 Pokemon, just over 7 feet tall)

As a reminder for how the Pokerole writers scaled Base HP in the book:
- Basic Pokemon capable of evolving typically have 3 Base HP minimum
- Basic Pokemon that are unable to evolve and Stage 1 Pokemon typically have 4 Base HP minimum (Shedinja being a notable exception due to its gimmick)
- Stage 2 Pokemon typically have 5 Base HP minimum
- If a pokemon's height in feet is greater than the minimum Base HP guideline for its current evolutionary stage, its Base HP is equivalent to its height in feet (rounded down)



Wiki doesn't have a whole lot of info that can help determine a Disobedience score, unfortunately, other than Cameron's Yata apparently acts very 'loyal and heroic' (that could just be entirely due to how Cameron raised the dragon, though)


Oh yeah, and just outta curiosity since it might (and probably will) be relevant in the near future, @Lord Windos...what bonus effect does Volt Absorb have?  And does Stormbringer have a bonus effect, or does it only summon the Thunderstorm weather (for 4 Rounds in this campaign, obviously) because the weather itself is an incredibly strong effect already?

Yeah, that sounds about right for the Yatagaryu's lines Base HP values! Thanks for doing the math for me, mate!

Volchick has 0 Disobedience, Voltasu has 2, and Yatagaryu has 3. The line, is however, prone to being impulsive and/or hyperactivity though, which leads to them causing trouble or doing all sorts of stuff regardless of their listed Disobedience. Males in particular are real trouble makers without a steady and firm hand on the reigns, while females tend to be more subdue but discrete with their energetic nature, which leads them into more interesting situations. Reiner knows all this, as Taylor gives him the complete run down 'off camera' some time after he receives his Egg.

Volt Absorb: Turns Electric Moves into HP Recovery Moves (Like Absorb, or Basic Heal for Non Damaging Moves) for them if they have 2 or less (Maybe 3 in some instances) or less Power, and adds Standard Dice to Deal Electric Type Damage upon being hit with any Attack Move having 3 or above power, with the number of CDs scaling up by 1 for each point above 2 (EX: Discharge grants 1D6 Damage chance, Thunder Deals 3D6). If an Electric Attack Move's Damage Dice exceed 6 against a target, however, then HP/Chance Dice that would be recovered/calculated is converted to Extra Damage, but deal 1/2 Damage as Recoil to User (Rounded Up, Min 2) - Damage is treated as Lethal for purposes of HP Recovery/Healing until either they Faint or they remain out of battle for 10 minutes . Outside of battle, this Pokemon can rapidly recover HP/Lethal Damage if they are supplied with a steady stream of Electricity, and can serve as a portable battery of sorts if you want to risk frying your electronics.

Stormbringer: Works like Sandstorm (Deals Damage every other Round), only it factors which types are weak to its Damage instead of a consistent amount. Deals 2 Damage by Default, up to 4 against dual weakness targets, 3 Damage to Steel types (Up to 4 Damage Max), and 0 Damage to Electric, Ground, and Ice types. Grants + 2 Damage Dice to Electric Type Moves, and all Electric type Moves have their drawbacks/reduced Accuracy eliminated. Weather remains until the user wants it gone, leaves the field, or Faints.

Zeus would make a awesome combination with such amazing ability. That would make Reiner become a even more powerful Dragon Tamer.

Also a quick question Windos: Since Reiner not gonna work anymore with Team Rocket, that means he will not be able to access the Team Rocket PC storage, so he will not be able anymore to change Pokemon teams outside of PCs. How its gonna be done now? Its gonna go now in normal ways or its gonna be like Pokemon Lets Go where we can access the PC any time?

@Dragonstrike, the same question about your future campaigh? Its gonna have the normal ways to manage PCs or Pokemon Lets Go method?
