[Meta Thread] Dragonstrike's Pokerole Test Game: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

If Kee needs justification to bring them along to the fight, just have them be a non-participate but still outside their Pokeball. Pokemon can still affect the battlefield even if they're not directly in the Fight, so having the fox kit in your chara's hands triggering Drought but not fighting should be viable (Unless Dragonstrike rules otherwise, in which case we're back to square 0).

As for the battle itself, I wanted to bring Yurei and immediately have her set up a protective Safeguard via summoning her previous owner, for the sole reason to prevent Kee's Pokemon/anyone's from being frozen solid and rendered defenseless. That'd nullify the use of an Electric Terrain from Karen's Magneton, and enabling Lovely Kisses from Ran's Jinx and Karen's Nidorina if desired. How's that sounding, alright?

Offensivewise I've planned to pester them with poison from Minyan, accompanied by Core's Flamethrower as long as possible before Octavia would jump in and take his or Draven's place to continue the fight.

Sound perfect, dear! Of course, if Yurei doesn't end up going before any of the Snover/Abomasnow and gets put to Sleep/Frozen themselves, then Safeguard becomes a less than perfect solution. I could perhaps try to have Brigid After You them into the lead, but that in of itself is not dependable due to it being practically impossible to do outside of battle (Due to balancing, unless I enact shenanigans to make it work) or inside of battle, due to the fact she may get disabled before using it or being slower than Yurei. Therefore, it still may be a good idea to have Magneton use Electric Terrain regardless, as having every form of redundency in place against Sleep is not bad at all.

Like the team, so it's fine be me!

That he'd certainly do, unless it counts as a third Pokemon he's bringing into the fight. (Dragonstrike, can you bring clarificaton concerning this?) If that's not viable though, That Hidden Power from Kogeki's Antarki can appearantly strigger Sunny Weather and possibly overwrite the heavy hailstorm.

Yes, having Vulpix influence the battlefield with her Ability would count as a pokemon that is present on it, even if they are not directly fighting.  A Drought (or other weather ability user) needs to consciously focus on maintaining their weather.  And if two pokemon with differing weather abilities are on the field, the book states that the pokemon with higher Special will maintain their Weather condition.

And my expectations of you shutting down my compromise have been precisely meet. Whether that is a good thing or not is up to debate, but it can't be argued that you're very keen on balancing any ideas that could grant us advantages back into neutrality at best, and made completely unfeasible/bad at worst.

In any case, if the book says that having the Higher Special is necessary to win the weather wars, then having Vulpix out (by whatever defination we subscribe to here) would be pointless, as the Abomasnow/Snover likely have higher Special than it or Dragonstrike could increase their Special to ensure that their Snow Warning is the dominate Ability active. At the very least we still have access to Nagi's Hidden Power Fire (Which has Priority from Prankster, to boot), which would at least manually override the Weather for a bit before the mean greens reset it at the first opportunity (Via Ability or using Hail), so the plan to dispel their Weather ain't a total bust.
