Pokemon Umbral Discussion 26

[Astral Harmony]

I may be able to do an omake tomorrow where Muon and Pegidash spit some mad rhymes.

[Geminex]

Mad. Can Dave Cameo in it, for a Crowning Moment of Awesome?

[Astral Harmony]

No copyrighted characters will be used in the spittin' of these rhymes.

'Sides, I kinda don't even know who that is.

[Geminex]

He is so cool.
Also, he has some pretty sweet sunglasses. And pretty sweet rhymes. And he's ironic.

But ok, Muon and Pegidash are sufficient.
Not allow me to stop distracting you.

[Astral Harmony]

Post is done. Expect some very big, very comical and ridiculously over-the-top attacks to come next Enemy Phase.

Impact can consider himself having the Swarm Bow and Pesticide Layer for the next Ally Phase.

[Geminex]

Shizzlemah-licious.

But what the...?
How're they avoiding attacks? What rules govern that?
And HOW'RE THEY REVIVING? What rules govern that?

Edit: Ok, AB's abandoned us to our fates, so here's what I think:
Each of them is immune to either phsyical or special damge. Pegidash never got hit by the stone edges cause they're physical. Harliette's bullets (special) hit it, though. I'd assume it's immune to phsycial.
If we had tried to use physical attacks on Frosqueen, I'm guessing they would've been avoided. It's only vulnerable to special.
Gardenoir, on the other hand, avoided Bug Buzz. Bug Buzz is special. So I'm guessing gardenoir can only be damaged by physical attacks. This sucks, because Impact's Swarm Bow? It's special.
Altarisect should also be invulneralbe to special attacks, since Tyranitar's split (physical) Stone edge can hit it.
Not sure about Seacalibur or Lopunnish... We need to experiment.
And this is just speculation on my part...

[Dracorion]

Okay, seriously. Gardenoir is a fucking cheater. Though, I imagine we may be able to hit her with multi-target special attacks.

Another alternative? Have Matthias use Disable to lock out her Teleport.

How's the enemy formation looking now? because if it's still relatively the same, then I got to yell at Geminex for something:

Why in the hell did you have Pierce use Divide? He doesn't get any RPs for that shit, you know! Now he's stuck at 70! If you had just let him target Pegidash, he could've used Hellfire this turn. Now, you fucking better use a Rage Rocket on Pierce, or I swear I'm going to make you into Tyranitar's and Blaziken's new anal toy.

My guess? Gardenoir, Lopunnish and Altarisect are preparing some kinda Signature Sequence. Have Harliette call out Wormadam, have it use Bug Bite on Gardenoir. Replace Charlotte with Shannon, use her use Florescence's X-Scissor and and something else with a physical Bug-type attack.

Pierce is going to be using Hellfire. If Regina is still next to Gardevoir, she's going to wake up. Target her with some kinda ice or water attack to cancel burn, then have Harliette's Blissey put her back to sleep.

[Geminex]

Well duh. Renny's been itching to use his Prosperous gifts, and he should be allowed to. Rage rockets for everyone!
And besides, if Pokegeddon had done what they were supposed to, and used all their RPs early in the battle, then Pierce's pokemon would all have died. Pierce would have had to revive them. That would have given him 50 RPs. If I hadn't used those 25 RPs, and he would have done the whole revival thing, most of those 50 would have been wasted. I did the right thing.

Anyway... Eh. I think you can probably use your uber-technique. But let's see what else is happening, first. Organize.

I also assume they intend to Syncstrike, let's prevent that. Preferrably by killing most of them. My only problem is that, well, we don't know Lopunish's or Seacalibur's resistancse. So we may have to limit ourselves to just getting two kills. Those being Gardenoir and Altarisect. If we kill those two, even with the other two revivals, we'll just get hit by two signature techinques.

And I'll see about Regina...
I mean, d'you think three bug attacks will be enough to kill Gardenoir? If Harliette uses an X-scissor, Matt does too and we follow up with a mimic by Swampert. Then trainer attacks as well... that could work. And your signature technique might as well...

And where do you think would Impact's attacks best be allocated?

I think we can make this work...

Edit:

Another alternative? Have Matthias use Disable to lock out her Teleport.

Yeah. I don't think that'll work.

[Dracorion]

Pierce's pokemon wouldn't have died, because you had Harliette expend RPs to protect them! Bad move!

Okay, by the way, Frossqueen was not immune to physical attacks either because she was hit by Mollesk's Rock Slide and Swampert's Stone Edge.

If Seaking is Water/Steel, it'll be vulnerable to Fighting and Electric. If Lopunnish is Normal/Fighting, she'll be vulnerable to Fighting and Psychic.

Why the hell not? Teleport is technically the last move Gardenoir used. I don't think tossing a greatscythe counts, anyway. I think it's worth a try. We were able to put Regina to sleep, so maybe we can do statuses on the rest of them too. I say we have Matthias try Disable.

We should try to test if flinching works, because then we can use Pierce's Signature Sequence and fuck 'em up bad.

Harliette can have Wormadam use Bug Bite and Vespiquen use Attack Order. We replace Charlotte with Shannon, have her use Florescence's X-Scissor and I don't think she has any more Bug-type moves. That's three quad-effective Bug-type attacks. Plus Swampert's Mimic. We have Renny deploy Magnezone and have it use Mimic as well. That's five quad-effective attacks, plus Pierce's Hellfire. Gardenoir should drop fucking dead right there.

[Geminex]

That's actually a good point. Then how did some of them avoid attacks, while others didn't? Can you find a way to explain that? It could be that they're just immune to anything quadruply effective.

And we need to come up with a SigSeq for Charlotte. She has a lot of RPs, and I don't wanna use future shock.

If Seaking is Water/Steel, it'll be vulnerable to Fighting and Electric. If Lopunnish is Normal/Fighting, she'll be vulnerable to Fighting and Psychic.

...
Tell me. Is there anything else I could have meant by "resistance". Y'know, besides the completely obvious thing? Lopunnish is also weak to ruin, by the way. And I have Ruin.

AB's post says

Pokemon didn't know how to apply Teleport to actually dodging attacks, so how did-?

That seems to indicate that it seemed to be teleport, but couldn't have been. I think disable wouldn't be of that much value to us.

We should try to test if flinching works, because then we can use Pierce's Signature Sequence and fuck 'em up bad.

I was considering that. The problem is, the only way to actually get flinching with a 100% chance is by having one of Renny's mons use air slash on Lopunnish. If lopunnish is immune to that, we'll either have to risk it, or use Pierce's RPs another way.

Harliette can have Wormadam use Bug Bite and Vespiquen use Attack Order. We replace Charlotte with Shannon, have her use Florescence's X-Scissor and I don't think she has any more Bug-type moves. That's three quad-effective Bug-type attacks. Plus Swampert's Mimic. We have Renny deploy Magnezone and have it use Mimic as well. That's five quad-effective attacks, plus Pierce's Hellfire. Gardenoir should drop fucking dead right there.

Yeah. You're over-employing resources here. Renny's gonna use prosperous gifts. That means he's already used an action. He only gets one second action, either to use air slash, or to use mimic for a bug move.
Also, you want Harliette to deploy Blissey, yes? That means she can only contribute one. And depending on what we do with Charlotte, we might not want to switch her with Shannon.
