Pokemon Umbral Discussion 25: Pokegeddon Returns

[Bard The 5th LW]

OK, seven minutes have passed (according to my clock at time of writing) so I am back!

Enforcer: Shannon. Due to the whole 'attempted murder' thing, and because Charlotte lacks grass types of any sort. Good to have a trainer enforcer to.

It will also be quite difficult for Charlotte to have a relationship with anyone. At least not a good relationship.

Yeah, I forgot Wilhelmina's Sig Tech only costs 50. Let's do it. She can target Altarisect twice with Flying Shot. Pierce will use Hellfire, which should ensure Frossqueen goes down on top of everything else we're throwing at her.

Now that Bard's picked Shannon, we can have Moon and Shannon use their Signature Sequence. But it's just Dark type damage, which doesn't help us right now.

Once you're ultimately decided, just post an action guide in orange. That should be the best way to keep from confusing me.

And no, you can't replenish items from Medics. Friggin' h4x. You should be able to replenish items by stealing them from enemies. I won't indicate which enemies have what, but the items should always be decent and not something else...

Renny: "Mollesk, use Thief on that HPG Soldier!"
Mollesk: "Moll!" *uses Thief*
Renny: "Mollesk, not for nothing but what the hell am I supposed to do with a condom? ...Hey, Lolaaaaaaaaaa..."
Lola: "I'm not in heat yet, Renny."

[Dracorion]

I assume we can steal items from Regina? Or maybe we can't because she's a boss and bosses cheat.

Either way, candidates for Thief: Renny's Umbreon (doesn't actually learn Thief, but it learns Covet), Charlotte's Spitz (learns Covet or Thief),, Charlotte's Hammond, Pierce's Skarmory (learns Thief, but I wouldn't suggest it because Skarmory is permanently retired after Pierce's sidequest anyway.)

Pokebrids with Thief: Matthias (in both Castform and Venomoth), Dormond in Zangoose and Houndoom forms, Whitney in Gardevoir and Mismagius form (but she's a Sniper),

What happened here?

I'm not mad, really, I just want to know what happened. And I want the person responsible to own up. I won't punish them, but I want to know who they are.

[Bard The 5th LW]

[Dracorion]

Sure you're not. I blame Menarker, by the way.

Out of curiosity, what are you referring to?

[Geminex]

Renny: Mollesk to use Rock Slide on Frossqueen and Artarisect, Swampert to wait to Mimic Stone Edge on Frossqueen. Has 95 Rage. Spends 80 rage to use Prosperous Gifts with his Rocket Booster item. Give 25 rage to himself and 7 other people. (End rage is 40)

Rachel: Leave combat to use two rage rockets on Impact. Leaves combat, so hopefully immune to damage. (Gets 25 rage due to Renny. End up with 60 rage.)

Impact: Dark ambition, leaving him with 0 Rage. Use second adrenaline boost. Attack Frossqueen with Flamethrower. STAB super-effective. Request Swarm Bow in exchange for Flamethrower. (Get 25 Rage due to Renny. End Phase with 35 Rage.)

Charlotte: Spitz' Super Fang on Pegidash, Hammond to use Stone Edge on Pegidash. (Renny gives her 25 rage. End with 100 rage.) Unless Charlotte wants to do her Relationship Technique? Or Co-Op technique if that's allowed with pokemon attacking on the same turn. (End with 0 rage)

Pierce: Get 25 Rage from Renny. Hit 100. Activate Co-Op Technique? (Can you use a Co-Op technique and still do your normal attacks?)
Otherwise stick with original plan, which is : Tyranitar with Stone Edge on Pegidash, Blaziken with Overheat on Frosqueen. (If you can attack after you do the Co-Op technique, you end with 10 rage. Otherwise, you end with 0)

Matt: Venomoth form, use sleep powder on Regina. (Get 25 rage from Renny. End with 70 RP)

Harliette: Mineral shot on Pegidash, Blissey's sing, also on Regina, deploy Illumise, Bug Buzz on Gardenoir. (End with 95 rage. Renny didn't give her rage.) She COULD do her signature technique, but that's questionable since her damage is random and we're probably relying on her to knock out Pegidash.

Moon: Lanturn's Signal Beam at Gardenoir, Kingdra's Hydro Pump at Frossqueen. (Get 25 rage from Renny. End with 50 rage.) Maybe get him to build a device or evolith?

Wilhelmina: Nether Shot on Frossqueen. (Get 25 rage from Renny. End phase with 95 Rage.)

Trainer Attacks at Pegidash. If it's dead, target Frossqueen.

This, coupled with your apparent intention of using Wilhelimina's signature technique as well.
...
I disapprove.

Seriously, what happened to defensive play? I was considering something similar, actually, but I scrapped it. You wanna know why? Because we don't know anything about our foes. We need to test them. Learn about them. NOT use our most powerful attacks against them. Cause see, you're proposing that we go all-in here. We'd be comitting resources to something we don't know will work. I'd much prefer to just attack normally this turn (or, well, to use my previous plan) and when we know what works and what doesn't, that's when we use Renny's rage boosters and all of our signature techniques, where they'll do the most harm. The only reason that I used Impact's is that I have to use it early, if I want it to be effective later.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Well to be honest Gem, that is the fault of whomever made the post containing said strategy.

You have the quote, clearly you know who did it.

[Geminex]

You have the quote, clearly you know who did it.

I could go nuclear on Menarker's ass, yeah. But hey, with any luck Drac will admit guilt as well, and then I can anihilate them both!
...
Speaking of anihilating, where were you when those two were discussing this?
