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

[Iron]

Mossy Rocks can be found in Earthstar and Liverwort. Moss Shards are not as popular since it's easier to just travel to Liverwort.

[Dragonstrike]

So in total, the treasure we've found is:

- 3 TMs for Hidden Power (anyone that can learn TMs can use these, obviously)
- 1 TM for Signal Beam (Helios, Magneton, Starmie, Porygon-Z, Vespiquen, Gothitelle, Grid, and Kyuu are the pokemon that are definitely compatible with it) 
- 1 TM for Dragon Pulse (Vibrava/Genie, Lapis Lazuli, Lucario, Serperior, Koa, Gustav are all compatible)
- 1 TM for Dazzling Gleam 
- $10300 worth of valuables that we can potentially split (basically 2 Star Pieces and 1 Gen 7 Stardust in the games)

Hmmm...now the question is: how are we going to split all of this? Personally, I think TMs should go to pokemon that can't typically learn the move via 'leveling'.

Now I'm having one more reason to head to Earth Star Forest or one reason to head to Liverport.

I'd like to keep the TM of Dazzling Gleam as I already claimed it for Cottonee or Raphael and the TM of Signal Beam for Kyuu most likely as my Tanuki has found it, the loot to sell can all go to you people as I'm having enough cash. If one TM of Hidden Power remains I'd gladly take that additionally, but I'm very fine with leaving them for you all. Really, take them all, I'm having my fill already.

EDIT: Signal Beam is even on Espurr's list of ?-moves!

Oh yeah! Heck yeah! Dragon Pulse found! Now comes the important question: What Pokemon I should teach such powerful move? Gustav, Nidoking, Eelektross, Delta Onix or Aggron?

Probably Gustav since Dragon Pulse would get awesome benefits with Mega Launcher ability. 

Power (3) + STR (3) + Mega Launcher (2) = 10D6! And with Swords Dance = 12D6!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Probably Gustav since Dragon Pulse would get awesome benefits with Mega Launcher ability. 

That's what I'd suggest as well. C: *sends in a fairy who'll still be totally immune to that pulse*

That leaves the Star Pieces/Dust and the 3 TMs of Hidden Power to distribute.

Heart can have Dragon Pulse , since Gustav gains more benefit from the move than genie . Since Shiva has Signal Beam and Dazzling Gleam , and Heart has Dragon Pulse , and Nathan + Heart already have Pokemon that know HP , I say Terra should get either 2 TMs of HP and 1 Star Piece , Or 1 TM and both Star Pieces. Those are my two cents on the matter!

Well, you could teach DP to Gustav, but he can also learn it naturally, and he already has two ML boosted moves that are just as strong as a non-STAB DP.  That TM might be better spent on something else, imo.

The pokemon that can't learn Signal Beam naturally are:
- Helios
- Magneton
- Starmie
- Vespiquen (but she also gets Attack Order/Bug Buzz)
- Gothitelle
- Kyuu

The pokemon that can't learn Dragon Pulse naturally are:
- Vibrava/Flygon (Flygon can learn Dragon Claw, though. However, Vibrava can't)
- Milotic
- Lucario
- Serperior
- Koa (but he can also learn/knows Dragon Claw)

I'm perfectly fine passing on Dragon Pulse myself , as Genie has Hard Stone Rock Slide and Bulldoze + DD and other moves. Rilou doesn't need Dragon coverage , so if you want it for your Pokemon , take it Dragon strike ! 

Call me greedy , but I personally want to get 2 HPs , dine they would prove potentially useful on Lovely and Kelly , and the could use a broader Movepool.  a Star Piece + Pokeon hand will afford both Camp trying and Will Wisp for Duskull , so the extra one can go to anyone .

Clawitzer learns Dragon Pulse naturally?? *throws another look into its summary in Corebook* Oh... You're right, I must have overseen it somehow. My bad! Still costs amazing 63xp.

Again, do with the remaining things what you like, I'm fine with keeping Signal Beam, Dazzling Gleam and the Eevee Family.

Signal Beam will most likely go to Kyuu to give the psychic cat some more usage and coverage, he could use a more versatile movepool. Actually wanted to teach him Shock Wave in Atheneum, but in the end Delphox has won with a different move.
