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

[Iron]

Weird question, @Iron, but could a pseudo STABed move from a Surprise like Meowstic's be powered up by the Sword?

No, it has to be real STAB.

Marco will definitely be involved, but I'm not sure yet what I can do with him that will actually be mechanically helpful. He's certainly capable of helping with the clones a bit, or buffing your team, or simply being ready to heal. If you want to buff his mons with the Sword, he can send out whichever mon is most helpful.



Shiva has plenty of insight to pull off a trick like that. You know Rage Powder works on clones. Hasn't been tested on Prime yet. Speed Deoxys outspeeds all priority except the Helm. Attack Deoxys rolled a natural 5 on initiative so it'll probably go after Nathan, chances are.
It won't take any extra unusual actions or Shiva-rolls, just an Evasion.
