14XP total. 

Safari Zone - Nathan 3

Aggro: (2)
Rarity: (6)

Stompstompstompstompstomp. A trio of Doduo comes pounding down the track, pecking at everything in sight. They're driving a Tauros ahead of them, separated from its herd. 

So that's 7 exp for Nathan, and then 14 to split between Juliet, Grid, and Solomon...let's see here...think Juliet's going to get 5, Grid will get 4, and Solomon will get 5.  They all put in a fairly even amount of work there, all thing's considered.



Well, it's not particularly rare, but a Tauros IS quite strong.  Doduo aren't too bad either, to be honest.  Now then, time to catch some pokemon!

Grid's Nathan's first choice in this scenario, followed by good ol' Juliet once again!  Those two are seeing a lot of action today, that's for sure.



Grid's got some simple yet complex orders: trap 'em all with webs and Paralyze that Tauros once the Doduo are sufficiently weakened!

Electroweb 1
Acc: 6* + 3 + 3 - 1 + 2 CE - 4 Actions = 9 D6
Dmg: 2 + 4 + STAB (+ SE) = 7 D6 base (+ 1 damage against Doduo)
Eff: -1 Dex for all (which should hopefully help minimize the damage a little when coupled with the Pain it'll inflict on those Doduo)
Note: hits Tauros and all 3 Doduo.

Electroweb 2
Acc: 6* + 3 + 3 - 1 + 2 CE - 5 Actions = 8 D6
Dmg: 2 + 4 + STAB + SE = 7 D6 base (+ 1 damage against Doduo)
Eff: -1 Dex for all (which should hopefully help minimize the damage a little when coupled with the Pain it'll inflict on those Doduo)
Note: hits Tauros and all 3 Doduo. If those Doduo keep pecking at Tauros, though, then we might have to restrict this second one to just hitting the Doduo.
Note: If the Doduo are all already at -2 Pain after the first use of this move, use Spider Web instead.

Spider Web 2/3 (just in case those Doduo are going to try fleeing once the electrified webs have started flying)
Acc: 6 + 3 + 2 - 5/6 Actions = 6/5 D6
Eff: Traps all the wild pokemon as long as Grid is out!
Note: If the Doduo are already at -2 Pain and trapped by Spider Web, use Thunder Wave on Tauros instead

Thunder Wave 3/4 on Tauros
Acc: 12 - 6/7 Actions = 6/5 D6
Eff: Paralysis!
Note: If Tauros is already Paralyzed, use it on a Doduo instead if any are left.





Juliet's orders: Attract on Tauros, then Hypnosis, followed by Confuse Ray!

Attract~ 1 on Tauros
Acc: 6* + 3 + 4* - 3 Actions = 10 D6
Eff: Tauros becomes infatuated with Juliet!  (who's probably disguised as an Absol once more since we're doing Field egg group stuff again)

Hypnosis 2 on Tauros
Acc: 6* + 3 + 3 - 4 - 4 = 4/3 D6
Eff: Sleepy time for Tauros!

Confuse Ray 3 on Tauros
Acc: 12 - 5 = 7 D6
Eff: Confusion!



Once those Doduo are at -2 Pain, Nathan's got some Safari Balls ready to try and catch 'em!  We'll throw 'em once the Doduo reach -2 Pain.  The idea is to try and catch the bird pokemon mid Round so that they A) stop hounding Tauros [who I'm less concerned about since Attract and Hypnosis might do a good job of keeping Tauros immobilized] and B) can't do as much damage to Juliet and Grid over the course of the Round.  Speaking of which...

I think it's about time that 30 exp was spent to increase Nathan's Vit to 4, increasing the Defense and HP of all his pokemon and himself by 1.  Nathan's been through a lot, and we've been facing a lot of opponents with 4+ Strength lately, so it's probably helped him and his pokemon to naturally toughen up a little!  No better teacher than practical experience, right? And it means Juliet now has 5 Defense with the Eviolite equipped.
