Safari Zone - Nathan 5
Aggro: (2)
Rarity: (6)

You encounter a Sandslash and a Marill at an oasis.

Calam: (5)
Sandslash: (6)
The Marill is not aggressive atm.

Wow, these dice are certainly being fickle.  I imagine Calam's at least eyeing the Sandslash warily, though, given the species is able to use some incredibly Lethal and/or devastating moves (I'm looking at you, Crush Claw, Slash, Magnitude, and Earthquake).  Nathan also sends out Solomon to assist him!

Calam's got a simple job: chip damage and disruption!

Taunt 1
Acc: 7* + 4 + 1 - 3 Actions = 9 D6
Eff: No non-damaging actions other than Evading for Sandslash for the next 4 Rounds!  No Swords Dance, no Defense Curl, no Sand Attack, no Sandstorm...

Moonblast 2/3
Acc: 7* + 4 + 3 - 4/5 = 10/9 D6
Dmg: 3 + 4 + STAB = 8 D6 base
Eff: -1 Strength (3)
Note 1: High crit chance due to Super Luck.  4 successes crits.
Potential Side effect?: Maybe seeing a powerful Fairy move like that will catch Marill's interest?

And if Sandslash is too weakened to safely Moonblast, Calam will use Detect instead of Moonblast 3.

Detect 3 (if Sandslash is too weakened to safely Moonblast it)
Acc: 7* + 5* Survival + 3 Alert - 5 = 10 D6
Eff: -3 Damage and Chance dice!




Solomon has his own disruptive orders to follow!

Yawn 1
Acc: 6* + 4 + 3 - 3 Actions = 10 D6
Eff: Sandslash falls asleep at the start of the next Round!

Disable 2/3
Acc: 13 - 4/5 = 9/8 D6
Eff: Disables Sandslash's last used move!
Note: If Sandslash is charging Dig or tried to use a status move, though, use Confusion first, and then use Disable.

Confusion 2/3
Acc: 13 - 4/5 = 9/8 D6
Dmg: 2 + 4 + STAB = 7 D6 base
Eff: Confusion (1)



As for Nathan's Safari Ball tosses for the Round, he'd prefer to chuck the both of them at Sandslash once it's both Disabled and at -2 Pain.  If things are looking dangerous, he'll chuck 'em sooner in the hopes that he'll catch the Sandslash ASAP since he has some room for error.
