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

[Spiritmon]

Surprise, surprise! Heart finally tell his full last name: ArcHeart. Keep this name in the memory because someday this might reveal some secrets of the future (and past) of my char :3 Also finally I have enough XP to teach Gustav the Water Pulse! Finally a stronger STAB move to be combined with his Mega Launcher ability (who increase all the Aura abilities)

[Spiritmon]

Also, any toughts after this battle @Dragonstrike ? How it was the battle, and any tips after see the battle?

[Iron]

I have a tip: Don't evade unless you have enough dice to make it worthwhile. Inflicting a pain penalty or removing an opponent or applying a status are all better goals when you're outsped.

I can heartily stand by this tip, since this is my basic strategy for most of my fights as I don't have a lot of DEX or Evasion! If its possible, try getting priority moves on the Pokémon you do own (Rose and Clauncher) so that if you end up dead last in Ini, you can still cut ahead and deal decent damage!

[Iron]

Definitely. Priority moves are some of the most valuable. They've made a big difference throughout the campaign.


I also wanted to note that this game doesn't require a whole lot of optimization. Build the team and stats you enjoy. You'll live...probably.

[Spiritmon]

Well, Rose have Mach Punch so its a begin.

That's my main tip too.  As Monferno, Mudkip, and Clauncher demonstrated, they could do a lot of work against Nathan simply by striking him again and again since Nathan wasn't even trying to evade anything.  Doing so removed his pokemon relatively quickly, while evasions allowed Nathan to interrupt Heart's DPS indirectly and increase his own.

Attempt to evade for both sides would be another thing I would permit when in theory battling Nathan.


Huh, you're people's battle is already over? Neat, now it's waiting for mine being wrapped up... I hope we can finish it today, Iron. Despite how Shiva grew to greatly dislike her opponent, that battle is quite fun for me! I'm sorry that you have to wait for me/Shiva meeting up with you at the bonfire, @Lord Windos ><

Which Nathan would have no problems with, since he's plenty adept at evading as well as attacking.  If he even feels he needs to evade in the first place.  He's not a completely glass cannon after all.

Ended slightly sooner than I would have liked, though.  Wanted to at least get Swiftfire in there along with Orthros, but I also wanted Solomon to get as much work out of Curse a he could, and Heart had a lot of pokemon that are good against Fire :/

[Spiritmon]

I keep that in mind. Sometimes I prefer to have a more defencive style, but I will go a more attacking style next time.

Well, as much I would like to continue the battle, the battle would more dificult later. Rapidash and Calam is strong oponents and my team its not ready to fight against it. At least not yet.
