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

[Dragonstrike]

Have a risky plan already forming, now that I know that Genesect is both dumb and 'vulnerable' to mental debuffs/trickery: Try to bluff/distract it out with Oinari Illusioned as a rival Genesect, channeling his Raw Intimidation Stats into her to make her seem like a Big Bad Bug it does NOT want to mess with. The fact it also has Ember to play around with could also help the act even more, as if Genesects don't like FIRE and a nasty looking member of their race can use it against them, it might scare them even more! If someone could also Confuse them prior to the deception, that probably help it greatly too! How does that sound, Dragonstrike? Everyone?

That might have a chance of producing results.  Flatter and Swagger are even specifically emotion based methods of Confusing the opponent

Given that we also have an Imposter Ditto available (how'd ya like my little secret surprise, btw?), that might also be something to consider (assuming Imposter works in this scenario).

There are a few catches that might backfire, though:
- Genesect might have a set Initiative if it comes to a battle, and Terra's not the fastest guy here by a long shot, so the Illusion could possibly end up broken before Ember is used if Initiatives are rolled
- Gothitelle is our only Flatter user on hand, and she's a Psychic type
- Swagger tends to make opponents more aggressive.
- Ember isn't exactly a very impressive move that strikes fear into the hearts of whoever sees it
