[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

When Nathan mentions Foresight or Odor Sleuth, Yena by Shiva's feet gives a mouth and proudly spreads his wings, he knows the latter move (or rather, has enough XP to insta-learn it)! ^o^ But, Shiva herself has a pretty bad feeling about that. "I.... I'm not sure whether it'll even work... You see, IT usually consists of countless single spirits it absorbed, that may make it very hard to really 'determine' the real thing, that ghostly being among them." (Shiva also generally has her head in the clouds = 0 Alert = low dice pool in Odor Sleuth's Accu Roll. I would rather not take this risk.)

"Unless it's a REALLY strong Spiritomnb that's built up a resistance to the moves' effects, it should work.  In the case of Odor Sleuth, you'd probably be tracking the Odd Keystone, rather than one of the spirits that makes up the pokemon.  Probably a lot easier to do it that way since the spirits are all bound to that specific rock."

Nathan's confident in saying that.

"In any case, those moves are really only helpful if we want to use Fighting type moves against a Ghost type with a secondary type weak to Fighting.  Given that Fighting is the only other type that can possibly hit a Spiritomb or Sableye effectively along with Fairy and as a group we have access to a lot more Fighting type than Fairy type attacks, though, I'd say it could be worth at least attempting."

(Yena's not the only pokemon the group has on hand with potential access to one of those moves, either.  The Duskull line can learn Foresight, so Toya can potentially learn it as well.)
