Pok�mon Umbral Discussion 7: Plusle and Minun Equals Zero - Page 4

Just so you know Geminex.

It's a swalot not a swellow. Might cause a slight change in tactics.

Dracorion · 03-27-2010, 08:16 AM

Impact can still hit Swalot with the Psychic rifle and Rachel's Metagross helps, and Matthias takes out the last Gastrodon.

Actually, I just noticed that Rachel didn't actually attack last turn. WHat's up with that?

Astral Harmony · 03-27-2010, 09:25 AM

Rachel only attacked that one turn because Matthias didn't. There are three slots on each side of that corridor and Rachel has two Pok�mon deployed. If Matthias posts, Rachel will be restricted to just having her two Pok�mon attack, or she could attack and have only one of them assist. If Matthias doesn't post, Rachel and her Pok�mon can all attack for that round. It's just basically my way of coping with a day in which DanteFalcon doesn't post.

Dracorion · 03-27-2010, 09:27 AM

I meant Rachel's pokemon didn't attack.

Astral Harmony · 03-27-2010, 09:59 AM

They didn't? Effin' A!

EDIT 1: And there you have it. No enemy reinforcements that you don't already know about. No members can switch teams. Get to hurtin'.

EDIT 2: The scouters will tell you more about Phantomere once you're commited to the fight, but it won't tell you much at all. You'll only be able to learn what it uses to hurt you with once it's actually hurt you with it.

EDIT 3: And just so you have the information on previous foes from before...

Ruin pokemon strengths, weaknesses and known moves

Strengths: Quad damage dealt to Fighting types. Double damage dealt to Grass, Ground, Rock and Ice types. Half damage received from Fire, Ice and Rock types. No damage received from Fighting and Ground types.
Weaknesses: Half damage dealt to Fire, Water, Electric and Poison types. Quad damage received from Dragon types. Double damage received from Psychic, Ghost, Dark and Steel types.

Narcham
Spiral Dive - Ruin type, physical attribute. 110 power, 80 accuracy. Ignores defense. Can make target flinch. An attack using the mandibles where the Narcham rebounds off of a surface and hits the target like a big, spinning bullet of slicing blades.
Star Ray - Ruin type, special attribute. 90 power, never misses. Can confuse target. Five beams are emitting by the sensory sphere cluster and converge on the target.
Bloody Flurry - Ruin type, physical attribute. 25 power, 100 accuracy. High critical hit ratio. Slashes and gashes the target with three to six claw strikes from its foot claws.
Terror Weapon - Ruin type, no attribute. Lowers all statistics by one.
Ability: Sniper

Pulverot
Body Wrecker - Ruin type, physical attribute. 120 power, 80 accuracy. Lowers attack and defense two levels. Can also cause paralysis. A brutal strike with both arms.
Mind Eraser - Ruin type, special attribute. 120 power, 80 accuracy. Lowers special attack and special defense by two levels. Can also cause confusion. A power spherical bullet fired from the sensory sphere.
Soul Crusher - Ruin type, physical attribute. 40 accuracy. One-hit KO. A devastating strike that obliterates the target.
Sweeping Ray - Ruin type, special attribute. 90 power, 70 accuracy. Strikes all enemy targets. A long, thin beam that slices into the ground, causing a line explosion a few dramatic seconds later.
Ability: Battle Armor

Omnisroth
Knuckle Sweep - Ruin type, physical damage. 160 power, 60 accuracy. Single target. A powerful backhand swipe with a massive claw. The ultimate bitchslap.
Beam Ball Cluster - Ruin type, special damage. 110 power, 50 accuracy. Four random targets. A fire-and-forget grouping of glowing energy spheres that arc up and smash down on the enemy.
Gargantuan Leap - Ruin type, physical damage. 140 power, never misses. All targets. This Pok�mon somehow manages to get airborne and then crashes down with all the grace and power of a giant Pok�mon. Given the current tight conditions, Gargantuan Leap cannot be performed by this Omnisroth.
Laser Show - Ruin type, special damage. 120 power, never misses. All targets. Syncstrike capable. Omnisroth gets the party started by blasting the area with big ass laser beams from its eyes. This is usually joined by Pulverot's Sweeping Ray and Narcham's Spiral Dive.
Ability: Filter

Mononoke (Non-Pok�mon Incorporeal Undead)
Appearance: Mismagius Mansion apparently has some ancient secrets that should have remained buried, but Phantomere's powers are unearthing some kind of horrible truth. Mononoke are clearly not Pok�mon, but they are still ghosts, and one might be able to defeat them as such. They appear fragile, but we'll leave it to those they're fighting to determine how capable they really are.
Suggested Tactics: A crucial moment to defeat a Mononoke is after it has drained someone's life force. Defeating it then will return the life force to the one the Mononoke took it from. If a Mononoke has a turn in which it has life force, it will use it up to possess an object and hurl it towards it foes for somewhat better damage than the life siphon. Multiple Mononoke with life force can collectively possess larger objects for greater damage against multiple targets.

Zombie (Non-Pok�mon Corporeal Undead)
Appearance: They are most certainly dead people, but that doesn't seem to stop them from moving around. A few of them have open Pok�balls on their belts, suggesting their Pok�mon were killed as well when they went rogue and tried to avenge their masters. They don't seem to be the brain-eating type of standard zombies. More like the punching and kicking type. Despite their muscles no longer working, they can fight with the strength of the undead.
Suggested Tactics: An attack that cuts and scores a critical hit (like Florescence's Leaf Blade is very capable of doing) can decapitate the Zombie, killing it instantly. Zombies catch fire easily, and fire seems to be very effective at killing them, but a still-moving Zombie that attacks someone can spread the flames to their victim.

Tyranitar force-deploys?

You son of a bitch.

Astral Harmony · 03-27-2010, 01:24 PM

Suffer, dude.

Yep, a sandstorm the whole battle.

Aw man, I'm not sure if I'm going to enjoy this or not. One boss, two Pok�brids and one maniac complete with a full roster for a grand total of eighteen Pok�mon, nine Ruin Pok�mon, twelve undead monsters...

That's a lot to keep track of. And that's just the enemies' side!

Dracorion · 03-27-2010, 01:26 PM

I count forty-two baddies. Like shootin' fish in a barrel.

Too bad we're limited to two pokemon each. A massive goddamn battle, everyone controlling six pokemon each would be nothing short of epic awesome.

The worst part about Tyranitar force-deploying isn't the Sandstorm, it's that I get the side with the Ruin pokemon.

Jerk.

Astral Harmony · 03-27-2010, 01:28 PM

Ah...well, to make amends, you'll get to date Whitney. How's that?

Dracorion · 03-27-2010, 01:29 PM

Well Pierce would rather date Chizuru but sure why not?
