Pokemon Umbral Discussion 24: I Can Has Pokemon?

[Dracorion]

Actually, I don't think I ever specified what type damage Hellfire does.

AB, can Hellfire do Fire and Rock damage? If not, then yeah it'd probably be Fire.

Pierce's got 65 RP now. If Kingdra and Blaziken each take a turn, that'd get him to 75. Someone uses a Rocket Booster on him to bring him up to a 100 and then he can use his Trainer Attack for some fiery goodness.

Ok... In regards to Renny's signature sequence...
I'm actually torn. On the one hand I'm all like "No, we don't need protection at the moment, not worth it". On the other I'm like "Well, but I do wanna play defensively until our flinched allies are back".
I still think the first one wins out, though. Our enemies aren't gong to hurt us too badly, I hope. All those RPs can be better used later.

What else could we do? I like Drac's idea, more than anything. Great damage against 4 targets, just what we need. But can you use a SigSeq and attack in the same turn?

If we can, that'd be quite excellent. I'd probably use divide, for Impact, so I could hit two enemies and damage them severely and Pierce's technique could finish them off.

[Menarker]

Well, the thing is for Renny, is that he doesn't have many options for his RP. His item technique is best saved for a more serious battle. Focus and Divide aren't going to do that much (Best option is Divided Confuse Ray, and that's pretty chancy). Renny's defensive technique is the best thing he can actually do. And whether anyone else wants the protection is optional.

Basically, Renny and his pokemons are protected (they are still attacking too). If Pierce, Charlotte, Matthias or Impact think their rage is best saved for some other ability they got, they can save it. But if they or any of the other characters like Welhelmina or Harriette think their rage points be best spend on protecting Impact or another crucial ally during the turn it is available, then that's something they could do.

Best idea might be to use Pierce's ability this turn to lock down pretty well all the foes, while everyone else builds rage by attacking.
Next turn, Renny does his technique, so everyone else has the option of not being attacked with the rage they built up.



Swampert and Mollesk would be protected if the tech was activated.
Wilhelmina doesn't need protection (and is unlikely to hit 100 rage this round since she can't get hit yet and only gains 5 rage per round if she hits her one target. Can protect 1 person.)
Harriette: Gains double rage and might be better if she and her pokemons were allowed to get hit. (Can protect 2 people after her pokemons attack)
Thus the following targets who can use protection are...
[Power Amplifier] [Matthias] [Sol-Leks] [Buck] [Empoleon] [Kingdra] [Blaziken] [Lanturn] [Impact]

If you think either of these deserve protection and you got the rage to spare, let me know. :3 Otherwise, I'll save it for next round or something.

[Dracorion]

Reposting Pierce's Co-Op Tech, for your benefit.

Co-op Technique (Tyranitar & Blaziken)
Hellfire: Tyranitar launches three enemies into the sky with a powerful Earthquake, while Blaziken leaps into the air and delivers a powerful aerial beatdown to the enemies. Then Tyranitar pummels them with large rocks using Stone Edge, and Blaziken fires a powerful Overheat until finally the unlucky targets come crashing to the ground in a large fireball.
Effect: Critical damage dealt to three targets. 50% chance to inflict burn status on targets, 50% chance to inflict Internal Bleeding.
Consumes 100/100 Rage Points.

And if AB lets me, it'd do Rock and Fire type damage.

Hey AB, can I have Kingdra and Blaziken attack, then have someone use a Rocket Booster on Pierce and then use his Trainer Attack to do the Co-Op Tech instead?

[Menarker]

Pierce, I don't really WANNA use rocket booster. It's only the first battle! I'm sure that with your negate 6 target's moves move, we could mop up fairly easily, since we would have 2 turns, each of us hitting someone 3 or 4 times. but if you got one of your own or if you really want to use it badly, I could use Renny's item ability to give the same boost to a few other people. Then Charlotte, Impact and some others would be able to use their super abilities.

[Dracorion]

Nope, Pierce doesn't have his own. I also don't want to use Renny's. I'm assuming Rachel has a few.

We're still supposed to be doing shock and awe. Occasionally, that might mean spending an item just to keep up the pace, especially with so many allies flinched.

Also, formation. Now properly including Rachel and Moon's pokemon:

[Evolith/Device Space 1] [Matthias] [Sol-Leks] [Buck] [Rachel] [Empoleon] [Nidoqueen] [Harliette] [Blissey] [Togekiss] [Shaymin] [Kingdra] [Blaziken] [Kingdra] [Lanturn] [Impact] [Evolith/Device Space 2]

[Geminex]

Nope, Pierce doesn't have his own. I also don't want to use Renny's. I'm assuming Rachel has a few.

You mean Rachel "Flinched-for-the-next-three-turns" McConelly? Yeah. Good luck with that.

Focus...

Do the two of you have all of your techniques anywhere? If so, could you link to said post? I'd like to look at their respective costs, again...

[Menarker]

I put my techniques, custom items, my pokemons all in my character bio. My character bio is linked in my sig!

Honestly, just find any of my posts. :3 (Including this one)

*I advise everyone to consider linking their bio in your sig*

Focus basically doubles the power of any pokemon attack for 25 RP. (Really, it's all in AB's database)

Also for plan "Shock and Awe", hitting hard and fast is only one part of it. If we can do it while barely getting hurt at all, we'll be more imposing (we'd be seen as closer to invincible juggernauts, rather than powerful suicidal attackers)

[Dracorion]

Right. Forgot about Rachel.

Well, maybe we should spend Renny's Rocket Booster. I'll leave it up to you, Glorious Leader.

And Pierce's Co-Op Tech and Signature Sequences are now in his profile.

No use getting protection when the enemies aren't going to try to damage us much anyway, Menarker.

[Menarker]

They probably CAN do heavy damage. They just didn't try attacking, because they spent their rage inflicting all that stun in case they'd get knocked out. Now that they don't have it, they'll try attacking. And who knows if its potent or not?
