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

[Lord Windos]

If I focus everyghing on the Attack Formes, I'll be able to KO 2 of them before they can move and bring the third to half HP, but the Defense forms will be left undamaged because it'll take all 5 of Grid's Fury Cutters to do that.  Gallade can use his own Fury Cutter to easily remove any Deoxys at 1 HP (which is the main reason why KOing any two Deoxys at once is possible right now in the first place).  If there are some Deoxys left at 1 HP by Sheer Cold, Gallade can finish off those as well.

I'll probably summon Princess in the next Round, given that we're facing greater numbers now.


The way Lightning Rod works, it redirects only single target attacks (ala Follow Me).  It cannot redirect Discharge and Electroweb at all because they hit multiple opponents (meaning they'll still hit everyone they would have normally, friend and foe alike).  It would completely screw over any attempts by both us and the Deoxys to use ST Electric type moves like Thunder, Zap Cannon, Thunder Fang, etc.  Atm, it hurts us more than the Deoxys.

I honestly think it'd be better for Genie to just Fissure the non-Deoxys mons.  It takes care of them quickly and puts the OHKO to good use, and we don't even know if it will work on the Deoxys in the first place (and even if it does, they'll probably just evade it)

Then do so, as I REALLY don't want to deal with more than one or two Lethal PD attacks from those menaces if possible! Cosh's Sheer Cold Wave won't come until after Grid, Gallade, Arete, and Genie act, so the others will have to capitalize on that or you'll have to get creative with your orders to account for it.

Goody! Would be a perfect time for the queen bee to shine!

Welp, that answers my questions about Lightning Rod. Guess Mega Quetzal will have to wait a bit, eh?

Problem with doing that is that Genie won't be able to attempt to Flinch the Defense Clones if she just FISSURES the pseudo Legends, which could end up being an issue if nobody else can Flinch them. That, and I want to respect Phantom's wishes in this, as while it would be strategically sound to void those pests, it wouldn't be very fun or fair towards them doing so. I've already run over their own desires a couple times recently, and I don't want to do so again unless they say its okay to do so.
