Pokemon Umbral Discussion 26

[Geminex]

I'd definitely give Rage boosters to everyone we can. Give one to Rachel as well, if you can.

The plan looks acceptable. Lemme see what else we could do...

Also, Impact could use C&C, to give us a few extra attacks.

[Menarker]

That's what I did, sir. Rachel was included in the Rocket Booster, as I intended all along.

[Dracorion]

The plan:

Charlotte: use Future Shock centered on Gardenoir. Have Pike use Ice Fang on Altarisect.

Rachel: Use two Rage Rockets on Renny.

Renny: Use Prosperous Gifts, use Rage Rocket to give RPs to himself, Pierce, Impact, Wilhelmina, Rachel, Matthias, Harliette and Moon. Have Shaymin use Air Slash on Lopunnish (100% flinch).

Moon: Have Lanturn use Discharge on Phione and Gardenoir (ally target is Tyranitar). Have Poliwrath use Dynamic Punch on Lopunnish. Construct Deprecipitating Device.

Pierce: Have Tyranitar use Stone Edge on Altarisect. Trainer Attack on Seacalibur. Use Blaziken's action to unleash Hellfire centered on Lopunnish (100% burn, 100% internal bleeding).

Impact: LH Launcher on Altarisect.

Matthias: Bug Bite on Gardenoir.

Harliette: Have Vespiquen to use Attack Order on Gardenoir, Wormadam to use Bug Bite on Gardenoir. Mineral Shot on Altarisect.

I'd rather not have Impact use C,C&C this turn. Right now we're still testing Pokegeddon, not to mention stopping their Signature Sequence. But chances are, we're going to have to end up spreading damage among all of them and taking them all out at the same time. We're going to need the extra attacks for that.

[Geminex]

Ah, excellent, lieutenant. I misread that...
Carry on.

And I'm not sure if it would be possible for Charlotte to have anything resembling a romance with Shannon. Unless she threw in a lot of accidental flirting into her dialogue.

We will arrange something. But Charlotte will seduce Shannon. Worst-case-scenario, it'll just be anger sex.

Rachel uses two Rage Rockets on Renny bringing him up to 80 Rage. Renny uses Prosperous Gifts. Moon constructs Deprecipitating Device. Charlotte uses Future Shock centered on Gardenoir. Pierce uses Hellfire centered on Lopunnish.

Gardenoir: Matthias uses Bug Bite, Vespiquen uses Attack Order, Wormadam uses Bug Bite, Lanturn's Discharge. Pierce uses Hellfire. Charlotte's Future Shock.

Altarisect: Tyranitar's Stone Edge, Pike's Ice Fang, Impact uses LH Launcher. Harliette uses Mineral Shot.

Seacalibur: Pierce's Hellfire. Pierce's Trainer Attack (testing).

Manaphy: Lanturn's Discharge. Charlotte's Future Shock (100% Paralysis chance due to super-effective).

Lopunnish: Shaymin's Air Slash (100% flinch), Moon's Poliwrath uses Dynamic Punch (Lopunnish might prove immune to special attacks). Pierce's Hellfire. Charlotte's Future Shock.

Ok, few things:
Dynamic Punch. Why dynamic punch? Fine, it'll confuse the foe if it hits, but it only has a 50% chance to hit.
Secondly, there's nothing in reserve. If any of them survive with low health, we have nothing to finish them off.
Thirdly, I wouldn't have moon construct the anti-rain device, better to save his RPs for his signature sequence with Shannon.. I don't think signature techniques get affected by weather, anyway. Otherwise I'd recommend that someone throws in a sunny day.

[Dracorion]

Dynamic Punch because it's the only physical Fighting type attack Moon has.

Wanna know what we have on reserve? Tyranistorm. Gardenoir and Altarisect should go down. Lopunnish, maaaaaybe.

Moon's Signature Sequence will cost 40 (Shannon splits the cost). After this turn, he'll have 30 RPs. He can get the rest next turn. So yeah Deprecipitating Device, or else we have to pull someone away to use Sunny Day and we can't be sure our intended targets go down.

[Geminex]

Moon's Signature Sequence will cost 40 (Shannon splits the cost). After this turn, he'll have 30 RPs. He can get the rest next turn. So yeah Deprecipitating Device, or else we have to pull someone away to use Sunny Day and we can't be sure our intended targets go down.

He'll have 30?
He has 20 now. After a rage booster, he'll have 45. If he attacks with one pokemon he'll get the 5 he needs to constuct. But when he's constructed, he'll have 0.

Also, I'm not sure about this either...
But I think that, for them to split the cost, shannon needs to actually be in-battle. She'd also need to have more than 15 RPs.
So ok, Moonbeam disco next turn. But if you construct with Moon, we'll probably have to wait a turn more.

And like I said: If weather affects signature techniques, why not go for Sunny day? It'd give you a damage bonus and weaken Manaphy's and Phione's attacks.

And tyranistorm? Fair enough...
But still, I'd prefer to have someone who can deal actual damage.

And I don't think trainer attacks are affected by enemy's attack immunity. As such, Pierce's hitting Seacalibur might not actually prove anything.

Gimme half an hour, I'll try to come up with my own version.

[Dracorion]

Balls. Yeah, I thought devices only cost 25 for some reason. If you can think of anyone we can spare to use Sunny Day, go ahead.

[Geminex]

Matt: Sunny day
Rachel: Out-of-combat with 2 rage boosters on Renny. Spend an extra 25 RPs to use a rage booster on shannon
Charlotte: Future shock, centered on Gardenoir, Hammond's stone edge on Altarisect
Pierce: Tyranitar stone edge on Altarisect, Hellfire centered on Lopunnish
Renny: Serene Gift (rage boosters for everyone), Swampert with mimic-ed stone edge on Altarisect
Harliette: Mineral shot vs. Altarisect. Wormadam with bug bite, Vespiqueen with Attack order on Gardenoir.
Moon: Lanturn's discharge on Gardenoir and Manaphy, Moonbeam disco, centered on Lopunnish (will only deal half damage to Lopunnish and Seacalibur, but should be enough to soften them up. Also, flinch.)
Trainer attacks: On Gardenoir. If Gardenoir defeated, hit Altarisect

Ok, it's really similar to what you had, so this wouldn't have been that necessary... I'm still wondering what to do with Impact. I wanna keep him in reserve, have him kill any survivors. Those would probably be Altarisect or Lopunnish...

But see, my problem is that we don't know that Slayer attacks will circumvent enemy immunity. I think Harliette's attack should be safe (she only has special attacks, so we'd be justified in raging at AB, should enemies be immune to her attacks), but what to do with Impact? He only has one physical attack, and that's dark-type. It could hurt Altarisect and Gardenoir, but not Lopunnish. I have attacks that're super or ultra effective against all of those, but they're all special. Should I play it safe with Claws of Darkness, or go all-out, and risk them avoiding my attacks?

[Dracorion]

Go all out with Impact.

And really, we wanted Renny's Shaymin to test of Lopunnish could be flinched.

[Geminex]

I'm using moonbeam disco instead. That has a 100% flinch rate.
