The Aroma Lady sends out Exeggcutor!

Eggs: (5) + 4 Dex + 5 Survival = 14
Parasect: (2) = 12

Safari Showdown: Cannon Canyon - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

Wow, she's speedy.  Even with a (2), it's still 50/50 on whether she actually will outspeed, though, and Paralysis would give Nathan the advantage again...

Well then, let's see if Aroma Lady Beatrice figures out what type D-Parasect is, or if she ends up using Hypnosis on a Grass type (since D-Parasect doesn't look very 'grassy') or a Normal move on a Ghost type (Barrage, Stomp, and Egg Bomb have their benefits too!).

As for Nathan's orders...

"Parasect, if you could please slow that Exeggutor down and attempt to wear it down quickly with your poisonous claws, that'd be great.  Or you could try to outlast it or make it go away, I suppose.  Just don't attempt to put it to Sleep or use Leech Seed since it's immune to both, alright?  This isn't a foe you'll be able to slowly wear down easily, and they might be packing some powerful attacks."



Preferred orders:

Stun Spore 1
Acc: 13 - 3 - 4 Actions = 6 D6
Eff: Paralyzes the Exeggutor, reducing its Dex by 2 and Initiative to 12 (meaning Parasect now goes first if its Dex/initiative remains the same)

Cross Poison 2, 3, and 4
Acc: 13 - 5/6/7 = 8/7/6
Dmg: 3 + 4 + SE = 7 D6 base + 1 damage
Eff: Poison (1) and High Crit (4 successes crits)



Nathan probably wouldn't complain if D-Parasect decided to use Roar or Draining Kiss, though, since they both have beneficial effects.  Poisoning Exeggutor and using Draining Kiss to stay relatively healthy and attempting to outlast the palm tree wouldn't be so bad either. Shadow Claw wouldn't even be that bad a choice since Exeggutor is a Psychic type and the move is still a strong, high crit attack.  Using Delta Parasect is a risk since (s)he only has 1 Loyalty versus 3 Disobedience, but I hope that it pays off, because I definitely want to test run this pokemon in the cup! Hopefully Delta Parasect wants to win this fight as well and heeds at least some of Nathan's advice!
