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

[Dragonstrike]

Hmm... I wonder, could Spira possibly craft Black Sludge out of the decayed snax (or could they be used as a proxy for Black Sludge)
also, as for Spira's team in the Ruins, definitely bringing Luna along so I can evolve her into Drifblim.
-Luna (mainly to evolve, some Ghost/Flying type coverage)
-Toya (varied type coverage, depending on restrictions {i.e. not being able to use it indoors} of Ghost World travel, a quick method to escape, if necessary. Access to HM Rock Smash/Flash)
-Hida (AoE Fire-type/Rock-Type coverage, access to splash damage)
-Noire (Ghost-type coverage, access to HM Flash)
-Nubi (Varied moveset, HM Flash)
now for the 6th slot, potential candidates:

Spoiler

Neura (Fanged Yanma)
Pros:
-varied type coverage
-Foresight
-boosted accuracy thanks to Compound Eyes
Cons:
-0 Loyalty vs 1 Disobedience
-4x weakness to Rock-type moves

Mero (Linkite)
Pros:
-Cursed Body
-Mean Look
-Curse
Cons:
-2 Disobedience vs 0 Loyalty
-Small current movepool

D-Lotad
Pros:
-Steel/Ghost moves (Astonish, Gyro Ball, Mirror Shot, Gear Grind)
Cons:
-Current movepool is small

Clamperl
Pros:
-Buff moves (Iron Defense, Shell Smash) Would using those two moves as a combo be a good idea; basically using Iron Defense to cancel out the debuff of Shell Smash.
-Trapping moves (Clamp/Whirlpool)
-No (current) disobedience
-Refresh for status ailment healing and Endure for shielding
Cons:
-Pretty much listed its whole moveset


Beedrill
Pros:
-Focus Energy/Rage for high crit/boosted Strength combo
-Entry Hazard (Toxic Spikes)
-Pursuit/Assurance
-Rock Smash HM
-Swarm to boost Bug moves (1 currently)
Cons:
-2 Disobedience vs 1 Loyalty
-Rock-type weakness

I'm about 99% confident that Beedrill should have 2 Loyalty and 2 Disobedience, actually.  It started with 1 v 2, and gained 1 Loyalty at the end of the Safari Cup stuff (proof)

Something to be REALLY wary of is that there is a high chance that Yanma will evolve into Yanmega when we go deeper into the Ruins.  You could cancel the evolution with the Pokedex, I suppose, but it's still something to consider since Yanmega has a whopping 5 Disobedience.

I'd probably stick with D-Lotad or Beedrill for reliability, tbh.
