Pokemon Umbral Discussion 24: I Can Has Pokemon?

[Bard The 5th LW]

And I finally finished Charlotte's legendary, which will be introduced at an indefinite time. I'm a bit unhappy with the 4 attack moveset I have panned out, so it is very likely that Ill make Charlotte a breeder by another name as to give Revenard (name pending) a wider array of attacks.

Name: Revenard
Type: Steel/Ghost
Ability: Rough Skin- inflicts damage equal to 1/8 of the opponents health upon contact.

Appearance
Height: 6 ft
Weight: 200 lbs.
Renard is an eerie and unsettling figure. It bears a resemblance towards a silver fox, although is much larger. Upon further inspection, its fur seems to be made of metal and and also stands out like spikes, and they can be cut upon very easily. On his forehead however, his hair forms a completely black crescent moon. Revenard's eyes take a steely blue color, and always seem alert. It also seems to be incapable of making sound, and has no verbal cry. Its breathing is peculiar to, as it shows no outward signs of taking in air.

Stats:
HP:130
Attack: 150
Defense: 120
SP. Attack: 70
SP. Defense: 110
Speed: 100
Total: 680


I'll admit, you guys are probably smarter than me about this sort of thing, so I'll take any criticisms and/or suggestions. I admittedly stole the base stat from Enmakki, but I'm not sure if that was the accepted Enmakki or not. Once agains, criticisms/suggestions.

[Dracorion]

That was the accepted base stat.

Looks good.

Only comment I can make about that pokemon is that if you got Levitate, you could remove one of its weaknesses, the Ground type.

Anyhow, Togekiss is flinched for 3 turns and Shaymin pretty badly hurt, so I'm switching to two different pokemons. Probably Mollesk and Swampert.

AB: I still didn't get the answer to my earlier question. If the pokemon that I got selected for my Co-Op Technique is flinched or affected by a status condition, is that going to stop me from using that technique?

[Astral Harmony]

I approve Charlotte's Revenard.

If the Pokemon is flinching, it doesn't mean the Co-Op is down. Now if OC Spray was used on you as well, which can happen, then you're fucked in a lot more ways than not being able to use the Co-Op.

[Geminex]

Ok... We don't really have a lot of manpower now, do we? I was really hoping to kill more enemies last round. Anyone have suggestions for potentially useful signature techniques?

Impact: Support Charlotte vs. Soldier A
Matt: Attack Soldier B
Pierce: Attack Soldier B
Renny: Not sure. What've you got left? Shaymin+ and harrasser could probably keep the enemy's fire types in check for a while longer, but it's your choice.

[Dracorion]

Pierce has enough Rage for his Signature Sequence with Chizuru, but I don't know if she's available.

I mean, she's supposed to be watching Faynoc. Don't think she can leave post every five minutes to shake her ass at some bad guys.

[Menarker]

Actually, I got a super Move ready. ^.~

Due to AB's saying that flinched pokemons can still be part of a Co-Op technique, and that they don't have to be the active battling pokemons either...

1: Renny recalls Togekiss and Shaymin
2: Renny sends out Mollesk and Swampert
3: Mollesk orders Mollesk to use Rock Slide on two fire pokemons (or on the soldiers rather?). Super effective if used on the fire types (Ultra if used on Charizard). Renny gets 10 rage (two targets hit). Renny now has 75 rage.
4: Co-Op activated although Togekiss is withdrawn (maybe it comes out right beside Renny). Renny and his pokemons have Protect on them and still able to attack (Mollesk already used it though). All other combatants can spend 35 rage or 70 or so to have Protect on them or an ally as well. (Good for Wilhelmina to spend rage on since she doesn't have enough rage or time to get the rage needed for her super ability. She can spend it to help someone else instead.)

5: Have a bunch of team-mates spend rage for protect. They still able to attack, but we can use the most offensive and most reckless attacks without worry.

6: Have Swampert use Earthquake. Allies beside him (hopefully) have Protect and not have to worry about the ally hitting part. ^^

We probably really need to have 3 or 4 of us attacking each target to ensure they go down...

AB: Can flinched trainers still give orders to their pokemons that aren't flinched? Or can someone else order their pokemons? Harriette may be flinched, but she has two pokemons that aren't flinched. Same with Moon and Rachel who both got pokemons, but neither are flinched.

Our forces pretty much consist of:

Mollesk: Rock Slide two soldiers
Swampert: Earthquake two soldiers
Pierce: Two pokemons (Trainer Attack?)
Impact: Attack
Charlotte: Two pokemons (Trainer Attack?)
Matthias: Attack
Harriette: Nidoqueen and Blissey
Rachel: Empoleon. Can't send another pokemon, switch or send herself to attack.
Moon: Lanturn. Trainer can't switch or act himself.
Wilhelmina: Attack

[Dracorion]

So am I given to understand that Moon, despite being a Trainer and having no way to attack for himself, needs to take a combat slot if he wants to use Engineer skills? And that's how he got flinched?

Also, do Signature Techniques and Co-Op moves and Synchronization Techniques and Signature Sequence and all of those restore RP for the damage they inflict?

[Astral Harmony]

Chizuru's still available.

Flinched trainers can still order their Pokemon, but that's it. They can't switch 'em out, they can't use items on 'em, that kind of thing.

Moon isn't taking any slot and he doesn't take a slot to use his Engineer skills. Those HPG guys are actually attacking the trainers themselves to mess them up. Obviously, they're not going to kill trainers because, hey, all that trainer's Pokemon'll come out and dogpile that motherfucker.

No, special moves that you pay RP for don't pay RP back. Doof.

Yeah. I went there.

Only comment I can make about that pokemon is that if you got Levitate, you could remove one of its weaknesses, the Ground type.

I considered that, but decided that Ground type was rare enough to not make that an issue. Earthquake is all it has to really watch out for. Has a decent defense to, so it isn't in that much peril.

Ok... We don't really have a lot of manpower now, do we? I was really hoping to kill more enemies last round. Anyone have suggestions for potentially useful signature techniques?

Charlotte's close to being able to have Hammond and Pike use Future Shock, which hits all enemies and does some continuous damage. Although Pierce's HellFire would probably be better do to it being fire type.
