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

Spoiler

Transferring Curse, Burn, and Disable all sound like great ideas to me.  Curse definitely helps both Burn and Toxic, and removing a dangerous attack from play sounds like an excellent idea.  Bonus points if we have some way to inflict Burn 2 or 3 instead of 1 (those are typically tied to damaging moves, though, and the only reliable one is Inferno, which we don't have right now unless one of the Elite 4's Charizard happens to have it and helps out).

Taunt might not have much of a meaningful effect since Deoxys hasn't had much reason to use non-attacking moves so far, but if there's even a possibility that it could actively focus a bit more on healing with Recover or similar, then that could put an end to those shenanigans before they even begin.  I wouldn't say it's a high priority unless Deoxys starts using non-attacking techniques, though.

Not sure Snatch will do anything since it's geared towards stealing stat buffs exclusively in pokerole's base rules, and Deoxys has no need for such things.

Good thoughts on Heal Block.  However, Shiva doesn't have Gothitelle with her at the moment, so that idea's out the window unless we get some outside help from somewhere.

Alright, so I guess Terra will be making a comeback after all! Woo! Thus, should I have Dunny use Disable, Curse, then Wil-lo-wisp on Cosh to Transfer onto DEOXYS PRIME (in that order), or should it be Curse and then Disable?

As for Burn 2/3s, maybe there's a Deoxys Clone corpse 'Inflicted' with it, so Cosh could have a potent Burn source in that, maybe?

If Mawile is going to be not so useful, I could send out Melly instead and see if he can't transfer Paralysis onto it (to what meaningful effect, I dunno), or just have her do Attack Interception via Quick Attack so that the Artifact Wielders / their Pokemon don't get wrecked early on. She hasn't had a Max Potion used on her either, so she can take up to 3 Attacks in a row before Fainting, or 4 if she's Revived and then MPed straight away after taking a 2nd PD hit. Self sacrificing strat, but hey, if it works it works, and if it doesn't then it nothing is really lost from it that wouldn't have been lost in the first place.

Have an idea that could also meaningful affect DEOXYS PRIME, potentially: try to use the Terrain against it. Stuff like collapsing the ground beneath it, getting Heart to try and Channel his Moltres Egg to get hot lava from the nearby volcano to squirt right onto it (Super Burn AND potential immobilization!) and/or see if the Charizards can't do something similar, getting the Scims to drop heavy wreckage on/in front of it to distract/block it further, stuff like that. Depending on how creative we can get, it may be possible to majorly inconvenience the bastard, even if it doesn't do any significant harm to it.

As for Heal Block, maybe a random Scim has the Move loaded as a Spell? Couldn't hurt to shout out for them and anyone else to use the Move, if they have access to it.
