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

[Iron]

That plan doesn't quite work because you can't Hold Back a move to 0 dmg, and Protect moves negate bonus effects if they negate all damage dice.

If you don't mind a risk of applying Lethal damage, you could just smack it around dealing 0 or 1 dmg each time. It will usually be 0 dmg because of the ineffectiveness. Kind of a jerk move to the Pokemon though.
