Pokemon Umbral Discussion 26

[Dracorion]

... Fuck your duty day, AB.

Our questions need answering, damnit!

[Astral Harmony]

Mornin', ya big meanies.

First off, I'm sorry about not factoring in Tyranitar's sandstorm (or since it's kinda different from a normal sandstorm, I'll just call it a Tyranistorm).

Secondly of all, if you think dodging attacks and self-revival are bad, just wait. This is only the first turn. Forget the damn rules. That's what Pokegeddon is all about. They're too powerful for rules.

The enemy formation is as follows:

[Seacalibur] [Lopunnish] [Gardenoir] [Manaphy] [Regina] [Phione] [Frosqueen] [Altarisect] [Pegidash]

You'll have to show me what Future Shock is again. Chances are that it does hit only three.

The enemy formation really hasn't done anything except for Phione's focused Surf, so the enemy's Rage is still nearly all maxed out.

And since they're bosses, morale doesn't really figure into their lineup. They've got great control over their own fear.

Hell no, Harliette doesn't get double Rage from that shit. C'mon, you should know better.

Here is Charlotte's profile. Future shock is at the bottom.

And when I wrote Future Shock, it was said to affect all foes on the battlefield. You can't rescind it now AB! 'Tis too late!

Also, computer is acting weird, so if I'm not around to make a post when the attack is ready, then you guys can choose her attacks. Probably won't be an issue though.

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.

[Astral Harmony]

I can't make that affect all enemies! Gawd, you guys really wanna defeat Pokegeddon, don't you?

Okay, Operation "Get Shannon Monumentally Drunk" is underway!

Shannon: "I'm only 19, though."
Armored Bishoujo: "Shoujo-ai, Shannon."
Shannon: "But why me? I have a boyfriend. Make Evangaleen do her. Evangaleen'll do anything."

Hmmm...words to ponder.

[Menarker]

Well, it does Moderate damage instead of severe damage like Hellfire does. It only has a 50% chance of inflicting a status unlike the 100% from Hellfire. And the only other feature is a Fire Spin like ability which is semi-weak since our battles don't last long enough to even use Rollout to is fullest ONCE.

Makes sense why you approved it to hit all foes.

[Dracorion]

So maybe ramp up the damage juuuust a little bit.

Anyway, the plan:

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.

Menarker, decide on how you're using Prosperous Gifts so we can put this in the proper format. You obviously have to target Pierce and Moon, but who else?

More importantly, hey AB, it's Teleport that Gardenoir is using to dodge attacks, right? Meaning we should be able to Disable it, right? I'd probably do that next turn, if it works.

Also, when we pulled Rachel out of combat, does that mean she doesn't even have a pokemon deployed?

In the end, our formation should look like:

[Evolith/Device Space 1] [Matthias] [Pike] [Spitz (drop-kicked far far away)] [Empoleon] [Vespiquen] [Harliette] [Wormadam] [Mollesk] [Shaymin] [Blaziken] [Tyranitar] [Lanturn] [Poliwrath] [Impact] [Deprecipitating Device]

[Bard The 5th LW]

While I do still think Future Shock should hit all foes (for reasons Menarker listed) I have a question. Will I need both Hammond and Pike out to perform Future Shock. If so, then I'll have to replace Spitz with Pike.

[Dracorion]

Nope, you don't actually need both pokemon. Hell, I don't think you even need either pokemon out. That's why I had Charlotte send out Pike and have it attack, use her trainer attack, and then use the action that would've gone to Spitz to use Future Shock. And this fucking better be possible.

I'm pretty sure you can't replace Spitz, by the way. Otherwise, what's the point of sending it away in the first place? If it was as simple as getting it out of the field, they could've used Roar or something.

[Menarker]

Renny has enough RP to give items to nearly everyone.

Renny (Support his skills)
Pierce (Hellfire)
Moon (Device)
Wilhelmina (100 RP tech)
Rachel (She can use that 25 rage for healing or a rocket boost in a future turn.)
Impact (Sweep good for spreading damage.)
Matthias (Tons of status effects on one target.)
Harriette (Spread Damage the turn after?)

And can you switch Mollesk and Shaymin's location? 3 pokemons weak to water in a row is JUST ASKING for a repeat Surf Spam. (Seaking, Manaphy and Phione among others perhaps.)

(Which is weird since AB had the foes use Surf, but it only hit one target instead of three? I guess they were using focus or something so they don't hurt each other.)

Anyhow, off to work soon.

The plan looks good to me though. (Although you might want to see if Impact can hit another target adjacent to the original due to getting 25 rage for Sweep. Although he might save that for next round or so.)

[Dracorion]

Yep. AB's post said it used Focus.

Yeah, I'll switch Shaymin and Mollesk.

Impact doesn't really need to use Sweep this turn. Nothing worthwhile to hit.
