I dunno, but I should let you know that Sunny Day doesn't reduce the accuracy of all electric moves. Just Thunder, the most powerful one. Which should help in the given situation anyhow.

Also, as a warning to Bard with AB's offer... better phrase your ideal dog carefully. You might just get something else... =P

EDIT: Seem to notice that Wizardcat isn't posting at all, so I removed his name from the bio list just like Dauntasa. I can put it back later if that changes.

Jumpluff was in mid-Bounce, yes. But he's not going to escape Sol-leks and Impact's wrath this turn.

Sunny Day will negate Hail, Sandstorm. and Rain. It might seem a little bizarre that Sunny Day would negate Sandstorm, but if it didn't you wouldn't be able to see the sun anyways, so there.

Any of those three would negate Sunny Day. Yet bizarrely, rain, sandstorm, and hail can all coexist. It'd be a real bitch to fight in all that inclement weather, but it can be like that.

Geminex · 02-25-2010, 04:18 PM

I'd assume that it clears out hail.

Menarker · 02-25-2010, 04:22 PM

... It's a good thing the roof-top team is almost done, because Charlotte might have prematurely made the parking lot pokemons go rogue and need sniper support ASAP.

EDIT: And we seem to have a tidy three teams of threes.

Roof: Renny/Pierce/Rachel
Alley: BoneKnight/Rayleen/Mike
ParkingLot: Impact/Charlotte/Matthias

Geminex · 02-25-2010, 04:42 PM

Impact can take a few hits, act as support... Besides, once leafeon's down she'll only have two pokemon left. Not too much danger there. I also doubt that Charlotte will hit... Though if she does, I hope she also has the sense to run away, get out of range.

Edit: Also, I honestly doubt it's possible to snipe down from the roof. If you had guns, yes. But unless you have a lot of beam attacks (and the only one I know of would be your swampert's ice beam) you might need to fly down to help us.

Charlotte... run away? From what I grasp of her character traits, I'd expect that if Arcanine and Houndoom weren't both weak against water, she would send all her pokemons at once to take over Impact/Matthias's place and overall screw the rules/teamwork.

Impact is also very head-strong and aggressive...

Heck, if it wasn't for Matthias being in your group, I would name you guys "Team Psycho".

EDIT: Swampbert's Ice Beam, Magnezone's Thunderbolt and Flash Cannon, Togekiss can fly and use the ranged attack Air Slash and Aura Sphere, Umbreon with Confuse Ray. And that's just my pokemon. Pierce probably have a few ranged attacks too with Starmie and Blaziken and Skarmory.

Trust me, the roof team or at least I am capable of sniping. :3

Dracorion · 02-25-2010, 04:59 PM

Assuming AB doesn't decide to reveal the Narcham to everyone before I can do what I'm thinking about, Pierce will become the one-man Team Crazy.

As for sniping, let's see... Tyranitar has Focus Blast, and Stone Edge could also be used to haul giant razor-sharp rocks at unsuspecting pokemon. Blaziken has Fire Blast and Overheat, Starmie has Thunder, Ice Beam and Water Pulse, and Skarmory has Air Slash.

By the way AB, I'm begging you not to show the Narcham. My idea's just too much fun to pass up.

Menarker · 02-25-2010, 05:01 PM

^^ Exactly.

I can snipe the parking lot with Togekiss's flying moves and Swampbert's Ice moves against the grass types while Magnezone zaps the water types.

You can use rock and water to snipe HARD against the fire pokemon trainer, bringing Rayleen, Mike and Issac back to the parking lot to help deal with Narcham (and the parking lot if it's not finished yet). ^^

EDIT: Hell, with Heatran, Rayleen, Bone Knight, Rhyperior and Pierce all staring him down with super effective weapons against him, he might just surrender or send out all his pokemon, ending the entire thing in one or two rounds.

Dracorion · 02-25-2010, 05:09 PM

Sure, I could. But why the hell would Pierce do that? It'd be unnecessary. The guys on the parking lot along with Renny can handle the dark and psychic trainers, and Mike and Bone Knight will recieve support from Isaac and Rayleen once Dusknoir is dead. So obviously Pierce would move on with his crazy idea.

As for the Narcham, sorry, I have a thing about blatantly using out of character knowledge like that. Sorry dudes.

Geminex · 02-25-2010, 05:26 PM

From what I can tell, this RP's rules are fairly close to the actual game. And I don't believe sniping was possible in the game. Your pokemon are confined to a battle. If they enter a new battle, that's fine, (though I think we can only have one pokemon for every enemy pokemon, so that's sorta moot) but I don't think you can designate your pokemon as "snipers" and simply pile in with overwhelming fire power.

And if it were possible, then splitting up our forces was even less intelligent than I would have thought.

I think we need some clarification here...
