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

Another piece of friendly advice for you, my love! Vaporeon has Aqua Ring and Acid Armor, correct? Well, it might be a good idea to use it both in conjuction (Preferably Acid Armor first to blunt incoming Damage!) so that she can last longer against them if necessary! A good defense is a good offense, as Dagney can attest! Otherwise, might be an equally great idea to just drown the mole in enough Water so that he doesn't get of a Earthquake or two and wipe Vapey out..... Your choice ultimately, Phantom!

Oooh, you got me there my dear, as you partly cottoned on why I wanted Vaporeon to take part in this Gym Battle. ^^ We'll use a combination of defense and offense.

I'm putting some hope into 3 CD to confuse as well.

[Lord Windos]

Did some quick number crunching, and this is what I came up with this:

Assuming that Excadrill doesn't know TM moves, the most power attack he can do is Earthquake, which with Dagney's Stats is a 8D6 Damage Roll , a 9D6 if he has Sand Force and Sandstorm is occurring, abd 10/11D6 if he uses Hone Claws or Swords Dance if he has and uses those moves. With a Vitality of 4 and Acid Armor + Aqua Ring and assuming they do not Crit and deal only average damage with their attacks without Sandstorm in effect and they only take 3 Actions, then Earthquake only does 2D6 Damage at minimum and 4D6 Damage at Maximum per Earthquake, so Vapereon on average would only take roughly effectly 1-4 Damage from a minquake barrage, and take 4 - 7 Damage from maxquake barrage. With Sandstorm and Sand Force, Earthquake can become 3D6 to 5D6, which means more damage and canceling out weather's auto damage with auto heals.

Overall, if you think you have to drag the fight out with Dagney or that she won't hard ball you with Boosting moves and weather (Since she didn't summon Magnezone to destroy your chances of victory, its not totally unreasonable), then going the counter tank approach would be a swell idea! Otherwise, stick with blasting them with Water STABs!

I was left in belief that Dagny roughly adapts the challenge of battle to the skill of the challenger and I feel like that indeed what she's doing without making it too hard or to easy for Shiva to still have a chance, so let's see where this all will eventually lead! And she's friendly to her. C:

She adapts her party to the challenger, but is relentless with her moves and strategy.

About to head to my last class of the night, so I won't be on for a few hours. See you later guys!

Sounds like a good compromise. But even if I'd lose here, I'm hoping that Dagny would be open for a rematch after Shiva has honed her skills more.
I meant friendly in a way how she speaks with Shiva and for example asked whether they shall do another match-up instead of cold-heartedly sending out her next Pokemon - I like that.

Ooh, Shiva got the Confusion!  If Excadrill were to hit itself with an EQ while trying to hit Vaporeon, that could end things FAST...that'd be a 4 D6 +1 against itself...

Nathan's the only person in the group with a Me First user, and the only Protect user is your Aron.  Pretty sure you meant to say After You instead of Me First.  Not sure where Protect came from...
