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

[Spiritmon]

Well, I don't know about you guys, but can't wait to see Heart fly in his Metalic serpent. Who gonna be the first one to Fly in the ArcHeart Airlines?! We have snacks for in the flying, with 100% chance in find Tentacles fly in the sky too. Who with me?!

I think I'll stick with Drifblim, something about tentacles is unsettling...

It's a old gag. Deoxys. Tentacles. Japan don't exactly help with that image.

[Iron]

You'll have more chances to finalize your stats before fighting the Elite Four or whatever your characters are gonna do after Deoxys. Once we go diceless, I'll probably institute some kind of advanced heartbeat XP - like every week of gametime, you gain enough XP for one specialty.

Cool, sounds good. There's a LOT of things I want Shiva to do assuming she makes it and the region's saved, most of it is roleplay-stuff and caring for/bonding with some of her less-frequently used Pokemon as well as honing her frequently used ones further. And there are a few places in the region she likes to pay a visit if possible please, like Earthstar Forest and Telperion!

@CodySP, here is a couple of screencaps of what's happening with reports

Nathan has a pool of 15 dice for Evade, @Iron, not 12.  6* + 5 + 4. Still a chance Charizard could dodge that blow!

Also, where are the Deoxys in the initiative?

[Lord Windos]

......Welp, that certainly is a veritable army, and look how busy they've been with their SCIENCE! experiments....

Since Iron has more or less laid out all the (current) priority targets, I'm going to gun for Black Gem Deoxys. Getting rid of the one that's seemingly responsible for the MSC Captures is a very sound idea, and maybe if my chara can manage to release the Pokemon trapped within they'll serve as good distractions. What about everyone else? Which target(s) you going after?

Also, I presume the Rainbod Gemmed Deoxys is the Original/Primary Controller, right?

[Iron]

Thanks to FLY, it's very possible to head for different clones. But remember the Artifacts probably won't be able to affect you like that.

Another thing I should note now, is that when in the air you have line of sight to each of the Deoxys, and vice versa.

I'm not planning on seperating from the group or going off from it without a partner (IE: Marco), so if Black Gem Deoxys would result in Terra doing either he won't.

So we can attack them from the air with Ranged Attacks, and vice versa. Neat!

Question, though: How many Deoxys Clones is the group fighting, in the current area? And like Dragonstrike said, what are their Initiatives? If they don't have any until we decide which ones we are going to fight, then I'd like to know so I can get started on crafting my orders now than waiting needlessly.

So in total in that scene, there's:
2 Red Gem
2 Orange Gem
Some Shiny
2 Blue Gem
A bunch of White gem
1 Black Gem
1 Rainbow Gem
Several Purple Gem (more than two)


At the moment, there's only the two Purple Gem, Speed Forme Deoxys to deal with since they're the only ones that have noticed us so far, but that will probably change quickly.

It seems the Speed Forme will always be at the top of the Initiative, following whoever the Helm is empowering. The Deoxys were edited into the Initiative already, Windos.

We know the clones are able to take more hits than a Steelix, but we also know they aren't fully Legendary.  If I'm right, that means it'll take 3 hits from the Sword, assuming neutral damage, to KO them.  If the damage is SE, then it only takes 2 hits to kill them.

Welp, I jumped the gun again, it seems. Derp. Oh well, that's what I get for being impatient.

If you're hypothesis is true, how are you going about to take care of the lot as efficiently as possible (Assuming all Deoxys Clones are in Range of All Characters attacks)? I'm just going to try and go ham with Genie using FISSURE and Arete using Fury Cutter to down Black Gem and then as many clones as possible, since they don't explicitly have the same Plot Armor that nulls Non-SE/PD Damage. If it works, then we have a lot less enemies to deal with!
