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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Bulldoze is usable no matter who has Ditto (but just like EQ, it also hits your allies, so...).  To use Wide Guard, you need to have 2 significant achievements (such as Gym Badges) under your belt (Wide Guard is learned at level 22/with 22 exp).  Don't know what Valder has done that might qualify as a significant achievement, though, as that'll be at Iron's discretion.  On another note, though, Starmie has Swift on top of its incredibly power Water STABs, which could help with fending off the bugs should it prove necessary.  Might be better to leave Herolune Ditto with the ones who might end up directly engaging Seikamater so he can protect everyone with Wide Guard should it prove necessary (the attacks are probably still going to hurt quite a lot, but Wide Guard should help everyone stomach a blow or two more).

Maybe?  If we definitely had 3 encounters worth of time between now and the Whirlipede Stampede, then yeah, he'd have regained that 1 HP.

Swift might help with the Bugs at the Entrance, but Starmie is ALSO a Water/Psychic type, which means any and all Bug and Electric moves will spell the doom of the sea star in the long run, while Herolune Ditto only has to Worry about Water moves and has a Resistance towards Bugs. That, and Haunter can float out of range from Bulldozes, so he's good back up if Mamo gets downed. Since Ditto and Starmie are ultimately your Pokémon, though, I'll defer their final use as you see fit.

Every little HP counts, especially since each of Seika's attacks could Faint or near Faint our Pokémon, so this an important point to raise!!!

I was only curious, currently I won't prioritize Pineco over any other of the Pokemon in my care.

(good night, btw)

Bug also resists Ground, so unless the pokemon being attacked have a dual type that makes it neutral damage (Rock, Electric, or Fire)...and I think I'd be more comfortable with definitely still having access to Wide Guard (and said Wide Guard user also being as bulky as possible since Ditto has already had a potion used on it today) in the event that it could help us stomach blows from Seikamater just a little more easily.

@Iron, would Heart and Lucifer have regained 1 HP by this point?

Next important point: are we reviving Theo and using a Potion on him?  And whose supplies is that coming out of if so? (Nathan only has 1 Potion and 1 Hurtloam left, so I'd prefer to save those. Don't think there's enough time to use a Lemonade)

It's not necessary per se unless we'll end up being involved in a battle against Seika herself as he knows Night Slash and bears 5 Strength on his own, I'd grant a Hurtloam of mine to him... A Potion I sadly can't provide as I already used one today, it'll only restore 2 HP.

Valder has Hurtloam on him if I last remember correctly due to digging it up, and plenty of healing Items that can quickly patch up the little guy. Since he's offline now and more or less left things in mine/Iron's hands due to not giving any suggestions/orders/plans for Valder, I'd personally like to see him heal his Pokémon himself without draining everyone elses resources automatically, either via my command or Iron's. If Iron doesn't want to override Nylon like that, then Theo can stay Fainted since I don't want to expend resources on a character that will not be actively participating in the upcoming fight. Not exactly ideal for anyone in the later case, but at least the active resistence keeps their supplies to be used themselves....

Potion Effectives is based per Pokémon, not per use, so if Theo hasn't had any Potions used on him today one will still 4 HP on him. That, and we still have berries to patch him up IF necessary.

Valder also has 3 Potions left iirc from what he stated earlier. Nathan also still has 2 Oran Berries, btw. I guess I could use those to patch up Ditto's missing 1 HP and Theo post-Potion?

Haunter is also sitting at 5/8 HP currently, just so you know.

No Potions have been used on Theo yet today according to my notes.

And by contrast, if Swiftfire had a normal Potion used on her, it'd restore only 1 HP.  If it were a Super Potion...it'd be 1 again as well, I believe.  And if it were a Hyper...she'd get 2 HP.  Those Potion penalties are harsh after you've used the second Potion.  Only Sitrus Berries, Max Potions, and Full Restores are any good for emergency HP healing in that case.

True words on its own, dear.... I'd support that, actually, not only because I'm scarce on Healing Items myself. But if it'd come to a battle against Seika,Theo would be useful due to mentioned Night Slash, so I'd appreciate him being healed before that!
EDIT: Or one on Haunter...

It's getting late and I'm actually tired, means I'll be preparing for the night then... Means I likely won't be present shall the plan be rolled out today. It can be assumed that Azumarill will fire 4 TailWind-boosted Bubbles at the Firoke together with Gustav while Tropius will use 2 Rock Smashes with the others shall my orders be needed, for anythingelse that'd need my idirect nput: Please wait, I'll get to it eventually!

Iron, I'm hoping nothing bad befell you, having a long day?
