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

[Dragonstrike]

.....Bloody hell, we just roffled stomped that Onix. With. Ease.

Yikes.

I knew our characters were getting stronger, but being able to KO a mega Bulky snek like that.......well, it sure make me appreciate how far we've come. Well, not quite for me, since I did do a chara. restart and made a Mighty Glacier, but eh, I still had to earn that privilage (Thank you for allowing that again, Iron)!

One thing you forgot to roll for was Paralysis on Anubi's Force Palm, Iron. Might be able to Paralyze the sucker after all (Since a Held Back Sky Fall would probably still do Damage to it, since its Screech).

So Dragonstrike, you want me to have Terra summon Dunny and Tommy to Burn, Curse, and Flinch Onix before you catch them, or you fine with how he is now? More Status means that you can safely use Pokeballs/Great Balls, but if you don't think Nathan would indulge in such pragmatism, then that is that!

Those giant, ultra bulky pokemon are certainly a lot less scary when you're able to constantly exploit those 4x weaknesses And when you're allowed to use multiple pokemon against them.  And when they don't have massively increased stats. And when they have no way to heal themselves.

If you could Curse it, that'd be great.  Flinch probably won't be effective since it's KOed, unfortunately (and Fake Out might also do Lethal damage to Onix).  Burn and Poison might be unnecessary.  With the combination of being KOed while Asleep and Curse, that's a -7 Penalty to Onix's Pokeball resistance.  -8 if Force Palm Paralyzes it.  Enough for a Great Ball to have decent odds of catching that Onix.  Dunny being out might make Nathan a little nervous still, but he'll be able to stay calm(er) once it's clear that the Duskull is not Disobedient (for now).  Gallade will still be sticking close to Nathan, ready to use Night Slash if necessary, though.  Ya know, just in case.  Can never be too careful where Skull Ruins Ghosts are concerned.
