You know, I should warn you. I'm the one who controls Ginnungagap. Just sayin' why you shouldn't be happy to have helped me.

Meh. I doubt we'll want to change either of them. Meh. AB said water moves. That means any water move should have the same effectiveness.

(Of course, it's entirely conjecture, but I think its worth a shot. Plus 999 Attack also would likely OHKO minions that come out with Rock Slide.)

Remember how this relies entirely on Mollesk living long enough? Yeah, I thought so. Which becomes extremely unlikely if you can't wipe the oil off it this turn. So I very much doubt Mollesk will be able to stay alive for three turns straight.

And I doubt 999 attack would OHKO anything unless it's quad-effective, or super-effective. And need I remind you that you need to wait three fucking turns?

I still can't grasp how you think the possibility of it happening is even worth considering.

When using water moves on your own allies, neither damage nor the affects are applied nor do they add or subtract from the move's ability to wash away the oil.

That's only for allies, though. Damage does apply when trying to wash away that wall of blue fire.

Speaking of that wall of fire, I think I have some very evil ideas. *possessed by the devil cackling*

Mollesk was able to survive 2 turns, one turn being the Pokegeddon full onslaught with the third turn being the buffing phase we got. If Recover is successful, then it'll definately live that long since AB said Ceru will not be focusing on doing oil again (which was the real reason for the plasma's obscene power) combined with the fact that it'll still have that maxed defense thing going.

Waiting 3 turns (2 turns after this one) is an option. The other one is sending Togekiss to use Follow Me on Mollesk during the turn it uses Power Trick (maybe next turn) and then Testament Drive the turn after.

Sorry I was away. I was at a performance show, hoping to see Lev doing his fire-sword-chuck thing. Too bad I didn't see him there tonight.
