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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Dragonstrike, about that cover behind Giratina - Is it possible to take cover behind them while not performing an Action and leap out of that cover for an attack, then take cover again? This taking-cover doesn't (yet) take an extra-action, right?

If you break cover to attack, then you'll be vulnerable to whatever Dialga's next action is before you can take cover again.

So that basically means that it's not possible to attack at all while seeking cover behind Giratina, the moment you step out you're a target, like you said earlier... That's a risk I'm going to take though.

One more thing, is it possible to... clash Dialga's attacks as well? I THINK so because of (quote)...Dialga's stats are reduced to their mortal equivalents!...(quote ends), but I likely won't be sure before I try, will I?

(...)Before you get start on writing Orders, do you have any other Insights and questions you want to share about Dialga and/or the upcoming battle in general, or want to make any Knowledge/Lore/etc. checks to see if you (and by extention everyone else) can glean more info before we take the plunge and write our Orders?(...)

Hmm nope, you actually covered everything I would say about that, dear. ^v^ I always learn about a foe's movepool through the corebook and bulbapedia to know what to expect and what to look out for!~

The only thing I'd add is 'Know the foe's weaknesses and exploit them as best as you can' and 'Prefer to buff yourself over debuffing the foe', but that's just general fluff that goes for every battle. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(...)So if any has access to easy to proc Confusion on their Pokemon , that might be something to consider inflicting on the Time Lord.(...)

Ah damn, that would be something Stella could easily do with Confuse Ray since she has enough XP for it to learn and I'd be willing to burn those XP for that sake, but she's not with me in my active party. Mercury has ways to inflict confusion via Chatter, but it's unreliable due to being a 3CD-Effect.
