[Meta Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Not too sure if I was being clear or not, but Pyra doesn't want to kill these Pokemon, mates. She just wants to KO them completely before moving on with Marcus' Errand. Of course, given how difficult it is to understand her at times, I find it quite reasonable and amusingly fitting that everyone just misinterprets her actions based on their own assumptions. You know what they say about them, after all.....

For all intents and purposes, Conkeldurr has already been KOed.  He's just still conscious but exhausted for story purposes (pretty common in PMD for boss fights and the like to do stuff like that).  Any further damage to him would be Lethal as he is currently.

*Shrugs* If that's the way you're playing it, then Pyra probably would assume otherwise before first hit, but would immediately stop trying to hurt him once it's clear her hits weren't KOing but Lethal.  She hasn't tried to 'Faint' an 0HP but conscious Pokemon before, so she wouldn't know that trying to keep hitting them wouldn't work (or at least, not ASAP).
