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

[Iron]

I feel drawn to that artistic Ratsy.  Though, Shiva would not want to outright start a battle, so is it possible that she'd take that Encounter without agressive Archnautilus?

Forgot to mention this - the Scims aren't interested in any of those Pokemon, so they don't apply to the cap. You can leave your Scim behind if you wish.

Given that Nathan, Heart, and Shiva aren't doing particularly tough encounters (assuming I pick an easy one as well), could the Scims/Marco's pokemon definitely help with the harder ones instead?

I'd kinda like an idea of who would be available to help Spira in the event Nathan doesn't take that encounter, tbh.

Yes, but they will then count as an extra person for the Cap. (which doesn't apply to the ghost one since it has no cap)
