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

Essentially, we are far more likely to run into a Zap Cannon user than an Inferno one. Great... Your Porgon learns that move (Albiet at a high level), so that is....4-5 Lethal moves you can get your hands on eventually? Nathan is shaping up to be quite the killer, eh?

You don't even know the half of it.

Vespiquen: Poison Sting, Toxic, Slash

Swiftfire: Fire Blast, Inferno (!), Flare Blitz, Megahorn, Poison Jab

Gallade: Leaf Blade, Night Slash, Slash

Porygon-Z: Zap Cannon

Absol: Night Slash and Slash

Galvantula: Thunder (via TM or tutor)

Starmie is the only one without easy access to one.  Unless I also teach it Thunder.  Which could be a possibility.

Oh, but disregarding tutors, Zap Cannon is the most common of those 3 50% accurate moves. Fun, right?

Holy shit, that a lot of deat and destruction. My Breloom can learn Super Power for LD, but I rather have either Focus Punch or Facade for pure damage without drawback. Apsis can learn Crunch, and Gunk Shot is right deadly in its own right. Toxic Fang is also bad news as well, but I'm not too sure if it can easily get it. Ariel don't have access to any Lethal moves, but Hustle Rock Blast can easily kill something given half a chance. Lucifer can learn Draco Meteor AND Hurricane, but both are hard to get and have somewhat shaky accuracy. Raphael can pick up a variety you of Lethal Damage moves, but all of them but Sky Attack need a TM.


I can do Lethal Damage, but you are clearly more suited for it. I'll stick to debuff to be a right pest to my enemies, thank you!

Oh, and Zap Cannon commonness will be a bane to us at some point, I swear it!

Yeah, Nathan's the real killer in our group based on eventually available moves on his available pokemon, but you'd have to really piss him off to get him to use those moves without holding back.  Thunder's also the only one that would be a TM requirement for him among all those listed ones.  There's probably a few more he could get with access to strong TMs (or maybe even the super HMs...I doubt Creshire's cut is as non-lethal as every other region's)

Inferno could be used situationally for its raw damage, because it would floor the opponent almost instantly if it lands, holding back or not (as long as the opponent isn't super beefy or immune to Burn 3).  Now, it would be because of a devastating Burn 3, but if he has to resort to Inferno, then the situation has probably really gone sour.

Meanwhile, Ventus has demostrated repeatedly that he's unafraid to Lethally damage and/maim his opponents if the need arise...or something tilts him of the deep end. He's also been responsible for ALL the Pokémon deaths that have occurred so far, most of them by being eaten by Apsis. How would he react if Ventus invited them on a hunting trip? Joltik and its evo eatPokémon as well, so sooner or later it's going to happen...

Shame he doesn't have access to more Lethal Damage...

If you guys are waiting on a post from me, it might take longer than I expect. The tablet I was using crapped out in the middle of my writing the post, so it will need to charge for a bit before it will even turn on. Sorry...

He was planning on meeting up with the group to surprise them about his newly evolved Togekiss, but this took presiding now. Quickly taking out his phone, he sent a quick text to Nathan say : 'Camping outside of town at pink beaches tonight. See you tomorrow!', before he started to carefully erase his own tracks in the clearing, and hiding in a bush large enough to conceal him. 'I'm going to find out what's causing this negativity and put an end to it, or I'll try my best to!' Ventus thought, preparing for a long night ahead.

Didn't you say Ventus's phone couldn't send texts (but could receive them due to a mod of some kind) the last time we discussed the topic?

Time to write some stuff...dang you and your awesome memory!

EDIT: Now I have changed it! His phone was not hacked by Nathan's Oorygon to make it more modern!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Speaking of phone, Windos, doesn't your IRL phone has access to the internet and the possibility to write posts? Or, dunno, is there a particular reason you are tied to the table?

EDIT: Oh my! Post #4000 in Meta Thread goes to me. On page 400. Lolz.
