Pokemon Umbral Theatre 1: Where All the Lurkers...Ah...Lurk

[Menarker]

So... are we waiting for anything else other than AB's promised demon upgrades before we can continue discussions or is there something I/we forgot?

Also, AB is going to be busy with his next sprite comic (assuming he wasn't joking about him making one where Renny asks all the female NPC about the birds and the bees or something a bit like that.) I mean, there are a lot of female NPCs!

[Astral Harmony]

You're not going to talk to all the female NPCs. Just the ones where I can make a punchline. First and foremost, I need to think up some dialogue.

RP post will be done tomorrow. And if I can stop playing shit like Tales of Vesperia or Radiata Stories (god forbid I play a new game instead of an old one), I could have a great deal more done.

[Menarker]

I was going to post since the last few days, but feeling totally uninspired to the point of utter writer's block. I'll sum up Renny's feelings at a later point.

[Dracorion]

So I guess we should finalize the plan, huh?

Renny: Shaymin and Swampert use Air Slash on the Fog.
Rachel: Two Rage Rockets on Pierce and Impact.
Wilhelmina: STAB Dark Shot on Psytellite A.
Melanie: Uses "Un" (Dark Type Slayer attack) for STAB Super Effective damage on PsyMatthias. Base 50% chance of flinching which might be 100% flinch due to Super Effectiveness? Uses X-Attack on Irene.
Irene: Attacks PsyImpact and Psytellite D with Grimslay for STAB Super Effective Ghost damage and 50% base chance of Instant Death. (Doubled to 100% due to Super Effectiveness?) Sceptile uses X-Scissor on PsyPierce. Rhyperior uses Megahorn on PsyMatthias.
Harliette: Vespiquen and Wormadam use Attack Order and Bug Bite (both bug moves) on Psytellites B and C.
Moon: Vaporeon uses Helping Hand on Harliette. Lanturn uses Signal Beam, a bug move on PsyPierce.
Lexhur: Uses Grill Gore for strong dark type damage on PsyRenny.
Charlotte: Uses Arceus (Poison typed due to Toxic Plate) and his Poison typed Judgement on one of them Asura Beta A to knock it out with Super Effective Damage. Sol-Leks uses Dark Pulse on PsyImpact. Spends her Trainer Action to use Future Shock, centered on Psytellite E, Asura Beta E and Psytellite F.
Matthias: Porygon Z, Dark Pulse on PsyMatthias.
Pierce: Tyranitar uses Crunch (Dark) on a PsyPierce and Blaziken uses Overheat on Asura Beta D.
Impact: uses Swarm Bow for super-effective damage on PsyImpact. Pays 75 RPs to use C,C&C.
Shannon: Florescense uses X-Scissor on Psytellite B. Roserade uses Poison Jab on Asura Beta D.
Kurika: Uses Below the Belt for STAB Super-effective damage on PsyImpact.
Milsha: Uses Throat Harpoon for STAB Super-effective damage on PsyMatthias.
Cecilia: Splash Bomb on PsyPierce.
Aster: Lucario form, Divide Dark Pulse between Psytellite C and PsyPierce.
Harliette (2nd): does Desperado to do four powerful randomly aimed typeless attacks (Hopefully there are fewer targets since she attacks last, so there is less chance of a bad random attack).
Pierce's Trainer Attack: on PsyPierce.

[Menarker]

Why are we using Pierce's Trainer attack after all the discussions we made about it? And if we did want to use the original way for the duration of this battle, why is Charlotte's trainer attack not there?

Roserade's attack stat is very poor compared to her special attack. Using Sludge Bomb instead of Poison Jab.

Slightly edited below.

BTW, I just damn realized that all this time, we have been sending out Charlotte's Arcanine and Mightyena and always forgetting their Intimidate ability to put an Attack Debuff on two targets!

1) Yes, I'm assuming we're still using Trainer Attacks because Bard hasn't come up with any Trainer Actions for Charlotte and I haven't finalized mine.

2) Roserade doesn't have Sludge Bomb. It does, however, have Shadow Ball, so we could have it target one of the Psytellites I guess.

3) Charlotte is using her Trainer Attack action for Future Shock, so that's why I didn't include hers.

[Menarker]

^^: Ouch, I'm still groggy from waiting up. However, Shadow Ball would be more effective than Poison Point. Super Effectiveness has a larger damage modifier than STAB. (2x compared to 1.5x)

[Dracorion]

Maybe you're still groggy.

If Roserade uses Poison Jab on an Asura, it gets STAB and super effectiveness. If it uses Shadow Ball on a Psytellite, all it gets is super effective.

[Menarker]

Yes, but that modifier would be applied to her poor attack stat as opposed to one modifier on her very large special attack (Roserade is tied with one other grass pokemon for highest Special attack). It is higher than Flying Shaymin by 5 points (although with lower speed).

Calcuating it, Shadow Ball would be more effective.

[Dracorion]

If Roserade uses Shadow Ball on the Asura, it doesn't get super-effective OR STAB.
