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

[Lord Windos]

GOing to class, so I'll see you guys in a couple of hours!

My my, your cousin's nameshake pops up just around the time I was thinking about adding more coverage to Lucifer's movepool, and when I had the money to afford it as well! That is well and truly appreciated, so thank you!

I suggest everyone look at their Pokémon's movelists/learnpool and see if they can have their Pokémon learn those moves, as the offer on display is all around just great!

Amusing that Noibat is going to be using Iron Tail without even having one to begin with.  Though Noivern at least has a long one.  Steel Wing would be another option for a move to teach Lucifer.

Looking through my move options...Gyro Ball is really, really meh since I'm aiming for Nathan to have rather high Dexterity (combining pokemon and trainer stats kinda kills this move's potential, really).  Flash Cannon on Starmie might be interesting, but I don't even have the cash on hand to learn Iron Tail right now, let alone Flash Cannon (the only pokemon that learns it before level 30 without the TM, not counting Blastoise, is Solgaleo.  Blegh.)  I'd probably be looking at Flash Cannon costing at least as much as Iron Defense...

Iron Tail on Calam might be interesting as well, though...but again, don't have the cash on hand for that currently.

So yeah, if I end up using that tutor probably depends on just how much worth that Valuable Item has...because I'm certainly not selling that Clamperl Pearl right now.

EDIT: Okay, so it's a Rare Bone variant worth $3000...guess I might be using that Steel Tutor after all.

Whoahw, that necklace has quite a nice effect. @Lord Windos, what will Ven do with it though? Since I feel like all of your Pokemon have a useful ability for battle and outside of battle, even Abbadon's Telepathy has its benefit.

(...) Calam's pretty happy with his new move, though. Fairies were always a rather prickly thorn in his side the very few times he encountered them, and now he can smash Ice and Rock types too! (...)

Lolz, do I sense a dislike of the Absol for my Fairies or possibly Shiva herself, or is it just my imagination?

Nah, he just finds them annoying to fight since Absol don't typically have very many tools that make them easier to combat.  Look at his battle with Kirlia, for example  

And that's not even the worst case since Kirlia takes neutral damage from Night Slash.

And Calam gets along well with Kirlia, so it's mostly just battling the type that he dislikes.

Apsis will receive the necklace, as she has a frankly huge amount of moves she can learn that greatly benefits from Serene Grace being temporary active in Battle (I assume its only active in battle; clarification would be nice, @Iron!). Bite, Poison Sting, The Elemental Fangs, Mud Bomb in the future...this is just the peats knees for her hobbling capabilities! Ice Fang in particularly is now even more nasty, since 4D6 Chance to Freeze and/or Flitch the target is awesome! Throw in Acid Spray, Wrap, and Glare, and things just become plain bad for the opponents!

Now the image of a big poisonous snake wearing a necklace while being curled around her Master is stuck in my mind.

Ew...and I thought Petrify made Arbok scary enough in the Celadon campaign...

[Iron]

Yeah it's only active in battle.

Wait, Ventus is going to actually catch that Slowpoke? I didn't expect that considering we've had many opportunities to catch them before...
