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

[Lord Windos]

With our luck, it's probably a Shadow Pokemon too, to boot.

Yup, Dialga's a Shadow Pokemon as well!  Just edited in Rui noticing since I forgot to initially.

Hope you're ready for a fully Plot Deviced battle, because I'm certainly ready to put some (hopefully) fun ideas to the test!

Me: I hate it when you're right.
Myself: *Sadly Nods* Feel the same way, Me....

Jokes aside, double shitbiscuits. Shadow Primal Dialga, a Legend who's Plot Device involved Time itself. If nothing else, I expect shenanigans when it comes when stuff happens, as well as shuffling of Initiatives if (when) SPD starts really loses it. 

Whether or not we are, we're in for it now and Time itself is against us, so we better make do regardless!

First off, for Insights about Dialga for us Players: Expect Roar of Time to come up relatively soon, if not within the first few Actions of the first Round, and for it do some seriously screwy stuff to anyone wammied by it. Given the way it worked in PMD:EoD/T/S , it's probably either Spread or AoE, and will hurt like a sonnofbitch, but if we survive it they'll be defenseless for at least an Action. If it isn't sufficiently PDed, then Paula Immune to it , so at the very least she'll be spared the Damage. 

If it doesn't go with RoT, expect a unique Shadow Move that will serious wreck us, or it's Plot Device to make its moves remarkably fast coming and therefore hard to miss/more impactful. Hopefully Giratina can use its own PDs to help mitigate the Time Lord's PD for us, if it can be bothered too...

Second Insight: READ ITS LEARNPOOL EVERYONE. It most likely knows all its Level Up Moves and at least has 2 Shadow Moves, and it'll likely go full on aggression and Damage options right off the bat like most Shadow Pokemon do, so be prepared to make some Condtional Orders to Dodge/Evade certain Moves that you are particularly worried about (Hard as that is to do, what with any Move being deadly in the hands of a Legend).

Thirdly, pay attention to the battlegrounds itself. You never know how it might end up help or harming you, especially when things start getting dicey when the Legends really get at each other with their mass devestation attacks.

Case in point, Dragonstrike, are their any Pillars near were SPD and our charas/their Pokemon are  standing, and do they look particularly fragile/suspectible to Damage? Ran's a Geologist, so he should at least get a roll to determine the likelihood of them coming crashing down in the carnage that's about to ensue.
