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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Azu doesn't know Hydro Pump because Bubble Beam is fine enough, I like my Accu Rolls without penalty.

I'm interested in taking on that Giant Trapinch... (>ω>) Giant Golbat as a second choice, but Trapinch prefered. But before making a final decision, @Iron, can I ask something concerning the Shield Shiva wields?

Spoiler

Since it protects 1 Pokemon + 1 Chara for a whole Round now, nothing prevents me from engaging in one of these extra-strong wild Pokemon here with only 1 Pokemon and providing constant protection from harm. Read, I fight that Trapinch basically with an invincible Pokemon... I see no reason why I can't do that, do you? That's not considered cheating, is it? I don't want to cheat. :C But that'd be an efficient training for Primal Espeon, and a nice experience for him on top of that.

Trapinch learn a good portion of lethal moves, can the Shield prevent damage from these too? Is there ANY way Shiva can imagine where the Shield breaks/fails, aka is there a danger that Trapinch finds a loophole and messes with me either way? That I'd like to know before stating the Encounter to prevent a at worst dead wise-old-man-espeon.
