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

[Lord Windos]

Sure! Terra would be happy to arrange that trade! Just mention you caught it when they return the Super Rod to my chara. in the morning, when they meet up in the lobby! Won't be posting until everyone's teams are fully and completely finalized, though, as I can't really do much until that is sorted out since all my Encounters are going to be dedicated to the Ruins. Unless Trading Tubareel takes an Encounter, in which case we can go ahead and do that in the meantime. Iron?

Tubareel won't take an Encounter if you sell it to a researcher or similar.

Does that include his Shieldmaidan Contact ? If not, I'll have to spend an Encounter making sure Nathan gets as much value out of his Tubareel as possible.

From the sound of things in the game thread, it seems like you more or less have your team nailed down, mates. Care to share what they are, just for it all to be in recent posts? My team right now is the follow, based on everyone's suggestions/own choices: Angie, Michael, Solomon, Oinari, Pixie, and Edmundi. Angie for being bulky, Digging, and beings fast transport in wide enough tunnels, Michael for being bulky in a different way and his ever useful Spore/Stun Spore double wammy, Solomon to do a solid for Dragonstrike as well as his overall usefulness/power, and Pixie + Edmundi for amazing team support. All that sound good?

My line of Pokemon is Doublade, Atlas, Posei, Quetzal, Rose and Gustav.

I can get behind that. She could use it for training against, Angela-style.

Alright! We'll get to that trade then as soon as everything about the teams is sorted out or Dragonstrike wants to get that done ASAP to give him muns/Items fast.

Considering that Mandibuzz has been using the Flinching Dark Pulse (And pulling off its effect with remarkably and annoying consistency), you might want to make conditional Orders in the event that Tailwind misses and/or a Rock Slide gets Flinched out. The likelihood of things going totally awry is low, but as they say, 'never hurts to be sure.....'

Sure, my team of six consists of:

• Whimsicott
  
• Lilith aka Gothitelle
  
• Yena aka winged Mightyena
  
• Azu aka Azumarill
  
• Raphael aka Ventus' Togekiss
  
• Primal Glaceon
  

That's definitely the final version, I feel it fits, is nicely balanced and consists of useful Pokemon that are either dear and important to Shiva or are some she wishes to bond with more/train up further, or both.

-Noire (Banette) Flash HM, Ghost moves
-Toya (Dusknoir) versatility & Ghost World travel/ Rock Smash & Flash HMs
-Nubi (Mismagius) Flash HM, Rock/Grass/Psychic moves and Lucky Chant
-Hida (Magcargo) Fire/Rock Spread moves, Splash damage
-Luna freya (Drifloon {Drifblim-to-be}) Evolve & Flying moves
-Nathan's Ditto

[Dragonstrike]

Planned Team for the Skull Ruins:
- Gallade (mandatory)
- Calam (semi-mandatory)
- Charizard ('dragon', versatile attacking options)
- Solosis (dual screens.  Primarily support, but has strong attacking moves)
- Emolga (semi-mandatory due to Marco.  Ditto can turn into Grid, Porygon-Z, and Dedenne [as well as other pokemon] from memory.  Primarily support for now, but can learn strong attacks)
- Snivy (in case of Vines/Claydol, another 'dragon' [though less so than Charizard])



Pokemon Nathan is currently going to be loaning out:
- Solomon to Terra (larger pokemon, Disable and Yawn support, can maybe learn Heal Pulse and/or Nasty Plot)
- Ditto to Spira (versatile Transformations, if a bit random at times.)

Trying to balance making a strong, well synergized team with IC choices that make certain pokemon almost mandatory isn't easy.  I think that's about as well as I can manage it, though.

*Looks at everyone's teams* Great! Looks like we're all thoroughly ready and set for the Skull Ruins, after Heart's battle! I'll get on to posting ASAP, then, so I don't cause anymore significant delays!
