Hmm... Dragonstrike, clashing a spread move (Poison Gas) with another spread move (Snarl) should be possible, shouldn't it? I could not find an restrictions on that point in the corebook. Does the Special Stat play any role in that case, aka what if clashing-me and the foe have a different Special Stat?

The book specifies that 'support moves, moves that ignore defenses, and moves that have a set damage cannot be clashed' on Page 50 of 1.2.5.

I have allowed clashing Spreads/AOEs with the same type of damaging attack before, but the snag here is that Poison Gas isn't a damaging move.  It is labeled as a Support move according to the book's key on Page 347 (it is the name they've assigned to Status moves, though I'm not sure why the change was necessary).

Oh, that means it's my mistake and the question was pointless: I remembered Poison Gas as a move that also deals some damage in addition to the poisonous status. I schould have checked again. Sorryyyy, my bad! (>_< )

(...)So, here's the plan I'm proposing right now:

Operation Double or Nothing
1. Keldeo focuses down Cubchoo with the most powerful Move he has that isn't a complete crapshoot on Accuracy with his Dice Pool, while Emolga Acrobatics Mienfoo this time, and the rest of the party pick off either if they somehow survive or simply pile on the damage onto Trubbish at that point.
2. If Keldeo get's Faked Out, then Kogeki Link Moves Cubchoo in an attempt to Faint it or at the very least make it Miss it's Move due to Pain, Emolga takes care of the Mienf, and the rest proceeds like the rest of Point 1. .
3. If Emolga gets Faked Out, Kogeki wombo combos Mienfoo , Keldeo proceeds as originally planned, and the rest of the party does clean up.
4. If any of the Pokemon are still up and at us, focus down them down in order of lowest HP to highest HP, and hope to Arceas they don't have any nasty tricks up their non-existent sleeves.

How's that sound, mates?

Sounds good, I'm down with that. It's a...risky plan, but I'm down to give it a try nevertheless. I SHOULD have a Stairs Orb if I remember that correctly, but I can't check right now whether I took it along. Will do later once I'm at my PC.

In regards of the worry about Mienfoo FakeOut'ing any of us, I'll handle that by having Kee clash that attack or any double-SE Fighting Type aimed at him.

Sounds like a good plan. Let's roll.

[Lord Windos]

Alright, it seems like we have a agreement! I'll get to a-posting ASAP!

Wait, should I attack Trubish first with my link move and wait for the others to attack the enemies? I a bit confused because of this sequence of things you said Windos:

Cubchoo -> Meinfoo -> Trubbish

So I should link move Cubchoo or Trubish?

I have an inkling that making conditional / more reactive plays with your Link Combo is not a great idea, since it has Priority baked into it that ensues it'll hit first unless you're trying to Clash it with Fake Out (which Phantom already has it covered). Ergo, if we want to play it as safely as possible Kogeki should use his Link Combo on Cubchoo, as that way if Keldeo get's Faked Out successfully then the bear cub still has decent odds of being KOed, and if Emolga is instead Faked Out then those same odds give Keldeo the potential to instead blast the Mienfoo to make up for the lost attack from the squirrel.  If anyone else gets Faked Out it's not that big of a deal since we really only care about cleaning up the weakened mobs and then pilediving onto Trubbish afterwards with whatever Actions we have left.

As for the ordering, it was a priority chain, or at least it was supposed to work like so. 1st Target is Cubchoo, but if they got KOed then the second would be Meinfoo, and so on. Since the Priority on your Link Combo prevent you from reactively changing who you attack without wasting said Priority, you essentially have to designate one target whenever you use it and it's up to us and the NPCs whether or not we want to back you up for good measure or have faith that the ninja can handle a foe on his own so that it frees up others to do their own independent Actions.

Hello darkness my old friend...I have come to see you again...

[Spiritmon]

Also, I didn't say earlier, but I didn't know Heart signature pokemon of everyone was Koa. Cool.

Also, @Lord Windos I don't think we see your list too.

I've been busy with studying for multiple exams and IRL stuff concerning my car, so that has fallen by the wayside for now. I'll get to it eventually when I have the time.

Hello darkness my old friend...I have come to see you again...

Patience, mate.
I'm sure that Dragon has just been really busy irl.

[Mikaruge108]

Just a heads up, I will be traveling abroad Nov. 10th-21st and won't be bringing my laptop with me, so if you have to, auto Karen during that time.
