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

[Dragonstrike]

I'll take the TM.

[Iron]

You should provide a Pokeball for any mons you hatch. They automatically go inside though.

While rooting around in the Berry bushes, Nathan finds two misplaced discs! They're brown...and the Pokedex says they contain Stealth Rock!

Stealth Rock has a pretty great selection in the Core Book, so we'll just keep it at ? moves and level up moves already in Core.

Welp, analysis time!  The pokemon that we own that can learn it are...

- Sandshrew
- Delta? Tropius
- Ray
- A-Geodude
- Delta Onix
- Ferrothorn (Ferroseed has to evolve first)

So basically, only Heart and Nathan can get any use out of the Stealth Rock TMs (and I definitely want to teach the move to at least one of Nathan's pokemon!).  However, do note that SR was nerfed quite drastically in Pokerole (just like Spikes), as it no longer deals damage based on a pokemon's type, instead always dealing 1 damage regardless of type (unless the GM says otherwise).

As for the Miracle Rod...well, lemme just list everyone's Grass types for good measure.

List of Grass Types

Terra:
- Michael (but he's always holding a Toxic Orb)

Heart:
- Viktor
- Ferroseed

Nathan:
- Yule
- Snivy
- Delta? Tropius
- Ray

Shiva:
- Nightshade
- Cottonee
- Tropius
- Oddish
- Chikorita

I love it the cat face XD Anyway, Nathan can keep the Stealth Rock. Since it is his finding, Nathan have total right in keep it. As for the Miracle Rod, I gonna keep to myself. Unfortanely Nathan I have trade Ferroseed a time ago (I just dont know when). I just dont know yet what to do with such item. Maybe I should give the Miracle Seed to Larvesta for now and give the Miracle Rod to Viktor. 2 More HP its always a good thing, but he dont need to access the move Grass Knot since he already have many strong such as Horn Leech. @Iron, even if no-grass type hold the Rod, other pokemons can hold it to gain access to Grass Knot? Or only Grass pokemon can use the Miracle Rod to gain the use of Grass Knot?

My 2 Cents: The impression I got was that only Grass types can use the item, as it rapidly stimulates their growth as long as they hold it from what the description seems to imply.  Which would imply that Viktor is the only pokemon Heart has that can actually use it.  And given that he already has Horn Leech, it's not exactly super duper necessary for him to have access to Grass Knot (as you already stated.  Grass Knot is also kinda awkward to use because it uses Survival and Nature instead of Fight and Canalize)

Given that there's 2 Stealth Rock TMs, I'd be willing to negotiate trading one to Heart if you wanted to teach the move to Iron/D-Onix.  I really only need to use the one, tbh.




Also, from an objective standpoint, it looks to me like Nathan's probably got the pokemon that benefit the most from the Miracle Rod. Given he still has less than 4 Vit, most of his Grass types (currently) have 3 base HP, and only one of them (currently) has access to a 3+ Power Grass move, they could potentially benefit a lot from both effects of the item. The Grass types Shiva commonly uses can all make up for lower power moves in other ways or also have access to 3+ Power Grass attacks.

This post is where you last mentioned Ferroseed from what I can tell.  I don't remember you ever trading them, tbh. I don't see any posts where they're mentioned being traded in the game thread, either. (I suppose it could have been done via PM with Iron if it was a secret thing, though...)

Iron said that Basteele can ALSO learn the Move, so I have a major stake in wanting it for her too! At least, that's the impression Iron gave me when I asked to teach the Move via a Surprise, and he said that he'd put the TM on my wishlist instead. Right, mate? I'm rather willing to give you quite the bit for one copy, mate!

Ah yes, right, I forgot that Basteele probably didn't know SR because D-Pineco/Forretress came with it despite it being a ? move.  Derp.

Well then...that alters things quite a bit then, doesn't it?  Guess it's up for grabs for both you and Spirit, depending on what ya guys offer (if Spirit even wants the TM in the first place)

My starting bid is 1/2 the total value of the Shiny Dweeble Shells Terra has found, + a Sitrus Berry and a Day's worth of Training your Pokemon. I really want that TM, so I'm going to be heaping on the wealth to get me my copy!

Man, I really want to that Stealth Rocks too. That could do wonders for my team too. My starting bid of course its the Miracle Rod I have find, the Training Claw used to train pokemon with Claws, a Hyper Potion and a Day wortly of Training with your pokemon too. Sorry Windos my friend, but I want that TM too!
