Or...

We could beat up Omnisroth, then I use Endeavor on Genom reducing it to low health, our favorite snagger catches it, and we get a Narcham supporter every turn as well as preventing Genom from boosting all the other Ruin types. :3

If AB allows that, that is somewhat genius. I approve wholeheartedly. If it's not possible, which I think, I say we go with my idea.

Astral Harmony · 03-04-2010, 03:39 AM

You're not getting Gendom, I don't care how much you butter me up.

But I will make this battle as over-the-top fucking crazy as possible. Say your temporary goodbye to Rayleen and Dormond and hello to Rayleen's steel type Pok�mon! Up first is her Registeel.

As for why she didn't use them before but still keeps them with her, she pretty much retired on training after the incident but still does her duty with caring for them. They're a family to replace the family she lost.

Ok well that hurt. Now's the question of whether Matthias is actually going to move forward again or if he'll just launch psychic attacks from the back.

Geminex · 03-04-2010, 06:06 AM

Ok, threat assessment...

Our targets are still the Omnisroth and the remaining Narchams.
The Omnisroth for obvious reasons. Syncstrike, probably obscenely high stats, guarding the Gendom.
The Narchams, I'd like to kill because two of them now have an increased chance to crit (thanks to the Gendom's ability) and they also have the sniper ability. Meaning they can dish out major hurt.
I'd recommend that Impact and Rio kill the two buffed ones. That'll lower the danger.

The rest is... interesting.

We have a glass cannon avaliable, the wonderfully weakened Togekiss. We can do two things with it. We can either reduce Omnisroth's HP to a bare minimum, kill it, then wipe out the Gendom. That'd take us...
Togekiss
Our weakest damage dealer (not sure who, possibly Starmie)
1 pokemon with a dragon attack. Not sure which. (Against the Gendom)
1 Backup. Maybe whatever Charlotte replaces her downed pokemon with. (Also Gendom)

That'd leave us with Matt, Isaac, Heatran and Registeel (Minus one dragon of them to use a dragon attack) to kill some Pulverot and probably leave two-three paralyzed pulverots and one Narcham to fight us next round.
Unless, of course, the Gendom has more HP than I expected. But still, looks like it'd work, doesn't it?

The alternative would be...
Togekiss+Charlotte's switch-in kill one Pulverot.
Everyone with Psychic attacks hits Omnisroth with whatever they have, that'll probably be Matt and Pierce's Starmie. Maybe Isaac can join in. That should weaken the Omnisroth enough for the poison to finish it off.
Meanwhile, Registeel kills or damages a Pulverot, Heatran kills or damages another, while Rio and Impact do the usual Narcham killing.
That'd leave us with the Gendom alive, one paralyzed Pulverot, up to two heavily damaged Pulverots, one Narcham.

I'd say we take the first option.
Pierce+Charlotte take out the Omnisroth, two others take out the Gendom, the rest focuses on Omnisroths and Narchams.

That acceptable?
And that'd be pretty much it.

Dracorion · 03-04-2010, 07:52 AM

Sorry to break it to you, but Starmie doesn't actually have any psychic-type moves right now. It's current moveset is Ice Beam, Thunder, Water Pulse and Thunder Wave. We could try to paralyze and confuse it. With any luck, if we confuse it it'll turn the Syncstrike against them.

Also, I'm calling it now. At least some members of the Evil Eevee Eight will show up with some dual-typed Ruin pokemon.

Menarker · 03-04-2010, 01:38 PM

Or, you know, everyone can use Protect/Detect/Fly/Dig to get a turn of nigh-invulverablity while the toxic clock ticks while protecting themselves against Syncstrike.

I'm pretty certain that all of our pokebrids are capable of learning Protect via TM, Tyranitar can use Protect and so can my Umbreon. Charizard can use Fly and Dig. Dunno about Charlotte's pokemon (tried looking for the movesets and not having any luck), although I admit Impact would be unlucky (Hide behind Tyranitar as a meatshield?). Request a shield that can duplicate Protect in the future as potential armor?

Kinda cowardly perhaps, but still mostly effective...

EDIT: Although it just occurred to me that Narcham's Spiral Dive ignores defences, so I guess it'll pierce those moves. Still, it would protect from the Omnisroth and Pulverots. Also, a turn delayed is another Narcham to fight...

Bard The 5th LW · 03-04-2010, 01:53 PM

I actually have serious regrets about forgetting to teach at least one pokemon dig. It was in my mind to do it, but I somehow forgot.

And heres the character list.

Slayers
Geminex (Ray Green:Impact)
Armored Bishoujo's NPC (Rayleen)

Trainers
Bard (Charlotte Beaufort: Madame Ursurang)
Menarker (Renny Tresserhorn)
Dracorion (Pierce Granger)

Pokebrids
Naqel (Rakald Essertle: Bone Knight)
DanteFalcon (Matthias Sona: Oberon)
Raptor200 (Isaac Lucius)
Armored Bishoujo's NPC (Rachel McConnelly:Princess)

Snaggers
Arcanum Darkfire (Mike Kenno)

Menarker · 03-04-2010, 01:58 PM

Technically, I said move list, but I finally found your pokemon's moves in your bio. I thought it was posted afterwards. ^^;

Arcanum · 03-04-2010, 01:59 PM

As much as the coward tactic would work to save our pokemon, we the trainers will still be exposed and judging by what happened to the leader of the EEE, them ruin types have no problem attacking trainers. Also Mike has Heatran out right now, not Charizard.

Oh and AB, Magma Storm's description says that it traps a pokemon in pillars of fire. I dunno exactly how that would work in the games (my extent of poke-knowledge is Red/Blue/Yellow, a little Silver, and Fire Red) but how would it work in the RP context? Would it render it's target unable to attack, or would it lock them into only attacking Heatran, or would it just deal continuous damage over a few rounds?
