Pokemon Umbral Discussion 15: The PCs Think Their GM Is Smart. That's a Laugh.

Impact only took damage, he's not abducted, and I have a strange feeling that he's a little disappointed about that.

-----

Magnezone is still alive, but only a sliver away from death.

-----

Dormond still has his full strength and you can said Whitney over. You're the leader, y'know. Just remember that if the person's a trainer (like Rayleen), their Pokemon goes with 'em.

-----

That was my bad on the Shadow Tag shit as well. Definitely no more big battles in the future. It's difficult to keep up with all the abilities and whatnot. Hell, last night I was confused as shit because I couldn't for the life of me figure out if Steelix was Mr. Skarmory's Pokemon or Mr. Donphan's. We'll uhhh...just ignore that illegal move. And if anyone brings it up, you'll get a hug from Dinner. Believe me, you're not going to want a hug from Dinner. Unless you're fat and really want the weight squeezed out of you.

-----

Meditation, Geminex? Seriously? I'd never credit Impact with the mental ability to reach a higher state of consciousness. But if you really must have it, then I suppose I can allow it, effective immediately. Go crazy, wanker.

-----

Impact shouldn't need a support NPC to heal him. As he is his own character, he's allowed to use an item and attack on the same turn if he so chooses. He just can't sacrifice his attack for the ability to use two items like the support Pokebrids can.

-----

Kiyomi's Raging Raider Signature Technique hits all enemies...however, against an enemy force so large and widespread, it won't hit all targets in this case. Here's the basic enemy formation on the Ruin Pokemon side:

From your left to your right, you've got Orbishriek A, Raikner A, Orbishriek B, Juggernaut, Raikner B, Raikner C, Orbishriek C, Raikner D, and Orbishriek D (this labeling is likely different from what's in the RP). And then there are two Harpressors in the air. Kiyomi's Raging Raider, like Shizuka's Apple Splicer, will hit the target Impact designates and the targets on both sides of it.

Here's putting it into practice. If Impact has Kiyomi target Orbishriek C, then Raikners C & D will also eat damage. As for the Harpressors, they're flying too far apart for Raging Raider to hit them both, so the technique is wasted if you're just trying to ground the birds.

-----

The Juggernaut is not a Ruin Pokemon. It's difficult to say what it is exactly, but fighting type damage will hurt it. It's just one of those little sacrifices an Atunhand makes when it merges with a corpse.

-----

Yes, Dormond and any Pokebrid for that matter can Pokeshift, Paradigm Shift, and still attack all in one turn. Once in a Paradigm Shift state, however, he cannot Pokeshift. And if he or she leaves that state without using their Synchronization Technique, they can't correct that. Then all they can do is Pokeshift.

Paradigm Shifts and Synchronization Techniques are one use only in one form only per each battle.
