Pok�mon Umbral ~ Ruinous Origins Discussion 2 - Page 3

Rio and everyone like her are going to be special cases. She's not even a registered citizen, let alone a registered Pok�mon trainer. There's no evidence of her being a Pok�brid, and she doesn't use Slayer weapons. Instead she uses her claws, beyond superhuman strength, and martial arts abilities to defeat enemies without all the strategy that comes with the Pok�mon universe. Fortunately, she won't stay mysterious for very long, and she's a powerful ally, just what you'll need when fighting the Ruin Pok�mon and those who wants to use them for evil.

And yes, Ruin Pok�mon will take quad damage from Dragon type damage despite being only one type.

Anyways, today's my duty day and I don't have any time to type up a response post, but I will read what has been posted and make my response so that I can send it the moment I'm finally able to return.

Mmmmm, Dragon/Ruin type...

Hehe, only pokemon with 6X weakness to an element. *Parasect with Dry Skin ability takes 5x damage by comparision*

I personally would prefer Ruin/Steel myself. Steel cuts down the weakness of dragon by a bit and resists a ton of other elements, and loses two of its weakpoints, ground and fighting. Also neutralizes the weakness to psychic and dark and steel and ruin type neutralizes fire. This in addition to reducing some other damages such as ice and water and grass in a manner similar to dragon types, giving it several quad resistances.

Weaknesses multiply, so it'd be a 8* weakness.

8* times the damage puts things into perspective.

Throw in a STAB bonus and a Dragon Fang for sexiness.

If only there were some weather effect to boost dragon-type damage.

Sadly not, but if it was a team battle, you could get a pokemon to do "Helping Hand" to increase the power of a different pokemon's attack by 50%.

God dammit. All my weapons for Steel, Dark and Dragon are melee. The only ranged ones I have are Ghost and Psychic. There go my fantasies of being a gun-toting badass...

You mean Rio and the rest of the Kimonos, right?

Being a sword-toting badass is cooler anyway.

Nah, going in and slashing stuff isn't Impact's style. He's much more of a "Pick off your opponents with accurate fire and watch them bleed out after crippling them" sort of guy. Hence my desire to get a Scouter that'll increase my special attack.
Unless whatever upgrade Impact gets will also include ranged dragon-type weapons.
