Pokemon Umbral Discussion 34: all your base...

[Bard The 5th LW]

Honestly, I might be on board with Bard being the leader. Impact may not be scared of Pierce, but I'd like to see him try some shit with Charlotte. I'd laugh the whole damn rest of the RP.

KICK. ASS.

Edit: Umbral sprite comic? I suppose that sounds neat.

[Menarker]

PROPOSED PLAN (Modified)

Rachel:Two rage rockets to Wilhelmina. Wilhelmina is at 60 rage.

Wilhelmina: Sniper OHKO Cradily.

Renny: *Pays 25 rage for Togekiss to use Divide*
Shaymin uses Divided Air Slash on Toxicroak. 100% flinch and STAB Amplified Super Effective Damage (Sky Shaymin has absurb Special attack too).
Togekiss uses Air Slash twice (Divide) to prevent fog from emerging.

Harriette:
Wormadam use Psychic on Seviper for Amplified Super Effective Damage.
Illumise's Helping Hand on Pierce's Palkia.
Charge Bolt on Noctowl for Super Effective Amplified damage on Noctowl which get reduced due to splash. Splash hit Toxicroak for neutral damage.

Pierce:
Pierce uses a Full Restore on Palkia (I assume you have one?)
Palkia use Testament Drive on Mio for Quad Effective damage with Helping Hand Boost. (Don't know if Testament Drive is amplified)

Impact: Use a rage rocket item on himself to prepare for CC&C next turn.

Charlotte:
Pike uses Thunder for STAB Amplifed Super Effective damage on Noctowl which get reduced due to splash. Splash hit Toxicroak for neutral damage.
Arceus (Poison type with Toxic Plate) uses Judgement on Acolyte A for Super Effective STAB Amplified damage.

Matthias: Porygon Z Paradigm Shift! Hyper Beam on Acolyte B. Improved STAB (2x damage instead of 1.5) making the attack 300 Power, Amplified HUGE Special Attack stat.


Moon:
Starmie (Shannelle) use Psychic for STAB Amplified Super Effective Attack on Seviper.

Lanturn uses Discharge on Seviper and the target beside it (Presumably Golduck if the Acolyte dies). Don't know if it'll spread even further due to the water and it already being AOE. STAB, Amplified.

Lexhur: Has 300 rage. Do nothing this turn.

Approve? Disapprove?

[Bard The 5th LW]

I like the idea of Charlotte, because she is ruthless in a way similar to Impact, but she doesn't try any sneaky bullshit. She knows what she wants and she won't hide it.

Her sidequest will also have a surely shocking SURPRISING DEVELOPMENT or two.

Speaking of side-quests, seeing as how Gem is shorter on time, I propose we move Charlotte's to happen before Impact's and after Drac's. Matt, being the most mysterious of the crew, will probably have the last sidequest.

New Thread, yo!

No, it was discussing the battle plan and then we decide which is better. >_>

I like the pic a lot too, but share in the worries that it might be a tad overboard for this forum. ^^;

Let's see about this plan:

Rachel: Rage Rockets on Pierce and Impact.
Renny: Togekiss and Shaymin use Amplified Air Slash on target A and B. Defog effect. 60% and 70% chance of flinching respectively (Shaymin has flinch boosting item). Renny uses Serene Blessing. Renny pays 70 RPs to protect Togekiss and Shaymin. Harliette pays 35 RPs to protect herself, Shannon pays 35 RPs to protect Matthias, Cecilia pays 35 RPs to protect Impact.
Wilhelmina: Piercing Shot on the DARKNESS.
Moon: Lanturn to use Amplified STAB Discharge on C & D (backlash to hit Aria), Kingdra to use Amplified STAB Hydro Pump on D.
Charlotte: Buck to use Amplified STAB Fire Blast on D, Pike to use Amplified Discharge on C & D (backlash to hit Bastiodon).
Harliette: Nidoqueen to use Amplified STAB Earthquake on slots C & D (backlash to hit Shaymin), Kangaskhan to use Amplified Focus Blast on C. Harliette to use HV Shot on C.
Matthias: Amplified Psychic on C.
Pierce: Palkia to use Amplified STAB Spacial Rend on D, Aria to use Amplified STAB Thunder on C.
Impact: STAB HV Rifle on D.
Trainer Attacks: Pierce target C, Charlotte target D.

Moon can't use Moonbeam Disco because he doesn't have Rage.

Formation:

[Evolith/Device Space 1] [Matthias] [Buck] [Pike] [Bastiodon] [Kangaskhan] [Harliette] [Nidoqueen] [Shaymin] [Togekiss] [Palkia] [Aria] [Lanturn] [Kingdra] [Impact] [Power Amplifier]

I could have Pierce call out Tyranitar. Except Tyranitar has a metric fuckton of weakeness and we're supposed to be playing it defensively. Still Tyranistorm with all it's sweet sweet +50% Special Defense would help a bit, I guess.

Firstly, remember that Rachel can spend 25 rage to use an extra item. We could feasibly have Rachel spend 50 rage to use another 2 rage rockets on someone else, such as Moon so we can use Moonlight Disco while still mainly keeping to the plan although we would have to have Harriette pay again instead of Shannon.

Secondly, why are we having Kangashkan use Focus Blast? Yes, it's special type and thus amplified, but Kangkashan has one of the SHITTEST Special Attack stat you can get. Seriously, we might as well get Harriette's Helping Hand pokemon to boost Nidoqueen's Earthquake. Even amplified, it wouldn't do as much damage as its attack stat based attacks, (two stages boost is equal to double power.)

Thirdly, Did AB answer the question about whether Wilhelmina can attack to attack a target since
A: She has to shoot through the fog to attempt to hit a target anyhow. She might as well attempt to hit someone while she is shooting at the "darkness" at the same time.
B: Renny's pokemon would have "defogged" twice before her and thus remove the accuracy barrier as Harriette said.

"Unfortunately, we're screwed for the next phase," Harliette explained. "We can use Defog once to recover from the accuracy decrease the Fog of War brought us, but we won't know what we hit until after we've done our business."

Fourthly, I noticed you have Discharge set to backlash on Bastidon. Keep in mind that neither the rock type or the steel type resist or has immunity to electrity, so it'll hit it like normal.



On a different topic all together! AB: I was just reading about the "Hot Skitty on Wailord" topic on TVtropes... I was wondering what happens if two pokebrids mate and try to have a baby. Does the pokebridization of the parents have any influence on the child, such as species of the mother or father, or even the child is just a normal human? >_> I then had a nasty thought of a fatty Wailord Pokebrid smothering a tiny Skitty pokebrid in this RP... Fatty on Loli fetish? *Brainbleach*

Pokebrids doing other Pokebrids usually results in a perfectly normal human child. That's the benefit of ethical scientific advances. They always make sure it's possible that genetic mutations won't affect future offspring before they advertised it out to the public.

Remember that Rachel has no means of generating more Rage since we're using her for healing and Rage generation every turn. So whatever Rage she has to use more items with has to be hoarded like fucking gold.

I think we should save it for the boss we know is coming, and overwhelm that Miyo bitch with enough raw power in Signature Techniques to crack the planet.

Mostly? Because I didn't know about Kangaskhan's crappy Special Attack. Let's have Kangaskhan use Dizzy Punch, then. Confusion is always nice.

Eh, I don't see why not. Put it in orange, though.

Well, I could've sworn Rock-type was resistant to electric. Mostly because I haven't checked Bulbapedia in a while.

Remind me to punch Gamefreak or whoever makes Pokemon in the fucking balls for making Electric type stupid just to buff Ash's retarded little rat.

Let's just have Pike use Thunder on D. And shift the trainer attacks so both concentrate on C.

So I'm guessing they did human trials to see if Pokebrids made Pokebrid children back while Pokebridization was still in development?

I'm imagining bastard Pokebrid children running around. Hell, that might've been the origin of the first few Asuras.

Fair enough. I can get behind that. Although Renny would be using Testament Drives since he doesn't have any offensive Sign Techs atm.

But then, alternatively, why shouldn't we just forget about giving a rage rocket to Impact and Pierce (giving both to Moon instead) and give Impact and Pierce the stuff next round when we find out who the foes are?I thought the goal for this turn was to be defensive until we knew which foes were which, and that means shutting down as many foes as possible via guaranteed statuses like flinching. Gem thought it was the way to go too.

Sounds good. STAB is a plus as well.

I did in the last thread. I'll do it again though...

No, what Gem said was:

Defensive plan looks good. If Milsha still had her rage, we could use that to pay, but OH WELL.
Yeah, pay for the people who're worth protecting. Get some water pokemon out. Use a few buffs. Prepare.

Which does not translate to "FLINCH SHIT". And flinch is in no way a guaranteed status. Like, at all.

Look, if we were to use Moonbeam Disco chances are most of the enemies it'd hit would be flinched. BUT, I would rather build up our collective Rage for later, again, so that we can crush Miyo like a stupid bug. I think we can take the hits this turn, all our important players being protected, and the ones that aren't don't aren't squishy little bitches with crappy resistances either.

Pffft. That's only for PokebridxPokebrid.

For all you know, if Renny and Lola were to have a kid it'd be some bastard mutant thing.

[Astral Harmony]

The actual way they proved this was...well, pretty silly.

Scientist Dude: "So, you're a retired Pokebrid, correct?"
Female Pokebrid: "Yep. Won the lottery."
Scientist Dude: "You became one because you didn't care about bearing children, correct?"
Female Pokebrid: "Yeah, but now that I'm older and have had time to think about it, I feel like I want to settle down. Too late now, I guess."
Scientist Dude: "Let me get to the point. I'll pay you two million dollars to let this Pokebrid guy cum inside you on a dangerous day."
Female Pokebrid: "Sweet deal! I'm glad I decided not to Fire Blast you when you opened the door."
Scientist Dude: "Ah. Thanks."

My strategy guide confirms that Rock has no resistance to Electric attacks. Man, I thought it was that way, too.
