Recently: You're battling Robin for the championship! You've been winning so far, but Gyarados is buffed and ready to sweep.

General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.

Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as it comes up.

Combat involves rolls! Once there's a clear vote winner, we roll for the move accuracy/crit/secondary effect. Usually it's just three 1d100s. Sometimes you can get a modifier from circumstances, so be creative! Add flair, do tricks with moves, mess with terrain, whatever! This is not a video game. Weak moves tend to be quicker.

Call me out on a mistake and receive an apology butt or suggestive picture.

Badges: 10

So how exactly does Trunk's special reflect work? Does it cancel an attack? Do we have to declare it before hand?
>>
>>602895
*cancel our attack

>>602895
[You can spend a turn to put it up where it stays at the ready, or it can be used as a reaction. It takes a few turns to 'recharge'

The catch is that using it as a reaction can delay how long it takes to recharge, drain Trunks, or other side effects. Sometimes it's better to just take the hit.]
>>
>>602951
Good to know, but I don't think we want to take a hit in this case.
>>
>>602951
In a moment like this it's better to use it as a reaction
It was a dumb move to keep Oberon in anyway
>>
>>602965
Fuck you, it was the True Man's World. But I think safe bet here is Horn Leech and hope Trunk's reflect can stop an attack.
>>
Fuck yes, time to battle.
>>
Use it as a reaction and hit Gyarados with Horn leech.
>>
>>602971
So long as it blunts the attack at the very least, I think Trunks will survive. And Horn Leech will have him recover some.
>>
>>602971
>Keeping Oberon in who has a massive type disadvantage

Oh nooo the water flying type knew an Ice move.

>>602984
Dan is stupid with A gyarados that knows Earthquake.

It might be okay against Golem since Dan might be faster and get off a magnet rise, but against Gyarados... Ya no.
>>
>>602993
Close enough from what I have. Only stuff missing is Dragonite's moves. But that is taken care of already.
>>
>>602951
It also doesn't block AOE stuff like Earthquake completely right? (not that it's a concern with 1/2 effective against Trunks)

You’ve sent out Trunks against Robin’s Gyarados.

Trunks is a defensive type. He’s good at regaining health, being spooky, and stalling. Just what you might need to stop Gyarados before he starts doing major damage.

Gyarados is buffed. He pulled off a Dragon Dance and used Moxie. He keeps his position and moves his upper half left and right, watching Trunks and sizing him up.

Robin carefully considers the situation too. How is she going to get to Trunks without being counter attacked? Should she switch? Are you planning some sort of other trick? The stakes in the next move are high.

You have to be careful. There’s a chance Gyarados can take Trunks out in a single blow with a super-effective move. Then again, she might be wary of a trap and stay away for a bit. Trunks also just might be able to tank it, although that’s iffy. He is good at coming back from that sort of thing.

She nods to herself. She’s decided. Her skinny arm points. You’d better move.

>Block her attack and counter with Horn Leech
>Confuse Ray. Robin might not directly attack
>Will-O-Wisp. Lower it’s attack and let it slowly finish off it’s remaining health
>Just put up the Protection Move for now to have it ready
>Destiny Bond! Take Gyarados with you
>Leech Seed. Drain it down
>Phantom Force

If she doesn't attack, then we can get a horn leach in. Gyarados is on it's last leg. we should horn leech it to death.

[Yeah

Dragonite - KO
Gyarados - Heavily damaged, +2 attack, +1 speed

>>603306
Scouting out Island fashion? Trying out our families fashion designs in the heat and tropical environments?

Not saying I entirely condone, just saying there are a multitude of reasons for anything.

I'd rather be an up and coming gym trainer scouting out locations. Or maybe a breeder looking for new/rare moms. Hell we could even pull Robin's role for her father, scouting out gyms.

“Bounce! A little to your left!”

Gyarados bounces up into the sky. He’s clear out of range before Trunks can close the gap. Trunks lands his Horn Leech onto the ground near where he was though, sapping the energy from the nutrients in the dirt and turning it into a dry, hard patch of land.

Trunks is looking good from that. It’s like he’s gone a little above and beyond his normal health limits. Not much, but it could make a difference. So there’s that consolation.

You glance up to Gyarados. He’s directly in the sunlight from where Trunks is. You can see him a bit better from your angle, though. He’s going way up there.

You think back to before when you’ve used Bounce to set up an extra hard combined attack. Robin might be planning to do that.

He’s going way up there. You probably have a few seconds to prepare. Of course, she might be readying something too.

You glance around the arena. Trunks is right in the middle with nothing around but packed dirt. The rock pillars are on his left, a small gathering of trees and shrubbery on his right, and three ponds all about equal distance.

I think he'll hit trunks before trunks can protect himself, if he managed to jump before we could hit him.

Do we have time to growth then phantom force?

[Calling a revote. It's not quote only because of IDs. The order of operations is pretty important.

If you use Phantom Force right away, you'll catch Gyarados right after he lands (assuming nothing slows him on the way down to throw off the timing). If you use Growth first, you'll just barely have enough time to get out before he comes down (assuming nothing speeds Gyarados on the way down, or slows Trunks down)]

>Phantom Force Now!
>Growth First, then Phantom Force
>Something else
>>
>>603571
That plan still carries the issue of relaying that command without Robin hearing it. It's not a use for Phantom Force we've used so it's not something Trunks may anticipate or think on his own.

Gyarados jumped extra high, giving time to do more than just a simple bounce. Just as he comes to his zenith and starts racing downwards, he fires a Fire Blast at the same time you have Trunks use Growth.

It looks pretty nasty (70), but Trunks should be able to survive the hit and be gone before Gyarados lands. Of course, that will use up his block for a short while.

You’re confident about how this will end when Trunks lands Phantom Force (69) but you need to make the choice about if you want Trunks to take this blow or not.

Even if this Gyarados has trained Special Attack it is not naturally inclined to it and Fire Blast won't be boosted by Moxie or DD.

You let Trunks take the hit. You know he can take it, and you might need the Black Aegis for something else. The fire move sizzles onto the Grass type Pokemon with great effect, but not great enough.

Gyarados comes flying down as Trunks cackles and vanishes off sideways into nowhere.

Gyarados hits down hard. But it’s not where Trunks was. It’s into the pond. He doesn’t hit particularly well, but it’s good enough to send out a strong wave of water. Not as powerful or slamming as if he had just used a move like Waterfall or Surf, but you see what she was going for. Water floods in a powerful and constant rush. Trunks would have had to plant himself into the ground with his arms and legs to avoid being washed off the arena, leaving himself open to attack. She wanted to be absolutely sure she could bypass his defenses and take him out with one good hit.

Gyarados and Robin glance around. “Hurry! Double Team!”

But it doesn’t make a difference (70). Trunks comes crashing in from wherever he goes and slams Gyarados in the side with the power of Phantom Force.

The mighty Pokemon howls as it’s knocked out.

“Gyarados is unable to battle.”

She retrieves him. You think you hear her apologize to the ball. Trunks lands as a soft and easily manageable stream of water goes by his feet.

Robin throws out her next Pokemon. Golem. Or at least, the Pokemon that appears to be Golem. You notice she sends him out specifically in a spot where you can’t see his feet impact.

You examine “Golem.” It could be the real thing, but would she really risk sending out a Pokemon so weak to Grass moves?

It’s a tricky situation. Zoroark probably has all sorts of super effective moves. Golem could have his own tricks or indirect attacks.

>Confuse Ray!

>Feint Attack. You can’t miss!

“Trunks! Use-”

“Taunt.” Robin interrupts.

Well crap. You should have seen that coming. Trunks stops cackling and stabs his feet into the ground repeatedly. It’s on for him.

“Oh! And a pre-emptive taunt from Golem!”

“Indeed, Chip. And what speed.”

Yeah. Yeah. There’s no way Golem would be faster than Trunks. That’s ot to be Zoroark.

Hmm, well, actually, Trunks is a bit slow, too. But unless Golem has spent an incredible amount of effort into speed, it wouldn’t close the gap. And you don’t recall Robin ever doing that before. You’re almost certain it couldn’t be possible.

“Trunks! Phantom Force! Block if you can!”

Trunks’ skitters across the ground in that unsettling way of his. He rushes forward at his opponent.

But his opponent is fast. Really fast. “Golem” fires a powerful wave of darkness. Night Daze. Maybe if Trunks was able to get his shield up he would have been able to block enough of it to manage, but it’s just too much.

He’s plowed over mid attack. His many legs propel him forward and Golem sidesteps to avoid him. Trunks eventually comes to an unconscious flop a little further down.

The flag goes up. “Trevenent is unable to battle.”

“Good job, Trunks.” You whisper into the ball. He managed to avoid Robin’s tricks with Gyarados despite how convoluted they were. This just wasn’t a good matchup for him. Still, you know for sure that this is Zoroark, even if he doesn’t look it.

“Indeed, Chip!”

“What an exciting- I mean...”

“Ah ha. Sorry Chip. I was a little out of order there. It’s just hard not to be enthralled! It is indeed an exciting match. Both battlers moving closer to victory in a neck and neck race.”

Your heart is pounding. And you've never seen Robin this excited with clothes on. You feel like you're growing closer to her and your Pokemon with each move.

Who will you choose next to battle against Zoroark?

>Devon (Houndoom)
>Zappy Dan (Magnezone)

Confuse Ray and Leech Life.

It'll work because Dark is weak to Bug.
>>
>>604452
Or just Roost and U-Turn
>>
So is everyone on the /fa/ train? Looking fabulous and attracting all the island girls?
>>
>>604439
>>Vlad (Crobat) - Medium damage, possibly slowed. Probably fine by now

>>604464
We'll see what happens
>>
>>604439
Vlad
We're kind of fucked right here
It's all based off of bluffing at this point
Will we attack or do something else
We need to trick robin into either sucker punching or taunting
>>
>>604439
>Vlad (Crobat) - Medium damage, possibly slowed. Probably fine by now
Holy shit i remember how much Vlad wrecked Zoroark last time!
>>
>>604452
hmm. Maybe ya.
>>
>>604469
Roost is very good.
>>
>>604439
>>Vlad (Crobat) - Medium damage, possibly slowed. Probably fine by now
>>
>>604469
Or we could roost and then Wing attach to finish it. Eat the sucker punch if it happens
>>
>>604455
Sounds good.
>>604464
How about instead of fab, we go for elegant and refined?

Grand manners, snappy dress and even if we do decide to go for contests, we're not afraid to push someone's shit in in a fight.

Either pokemon or personally.

The drawback is we're cripplingly insecure and anxious.
>>
>>604464
Actually I've been thinking about it, and while not mutually exclusive, the thing I would most want the opportunity to vote for would be aura sensitivity.

I really loved what gobble's done with aura in this quest and would be thrilled to get to see more of it.
>>
>>604452
neither confuse ray or leech life are Bug type moves
>>
>>604484
U-Turn is better because we can send out Dan without wasting a sleep turn.
>>
>>604455
Why U-turn? staying in to badly poison Golem would be awesome.
>>
>>604469
m8 we still have Dan and Devon to her injured/sleeping golem and a mystery poke.

Two of our heaviest hitters.
>>
>>604469
We have a strong edge in that nothing she has left can fuck Dan up in any meaningful way. Except Golem who is sleeping and gets outsped so we can Magnet Rise.
>>
>>604498
Because staying in gives it a chance to wake up and Dan needs time to Magnet Rise.
>>
>>604487
I could get behind the noble pretty boy kind of look.
>>
>>604489
Leech life is bug type. Confuse Ray is ghost, but doesn't deal damage so it doesn't matter unless robin swapped in to ditto.
>>
>>604508
Dan is faster than it anyways.
>>
>>604488
Yea Aura could be an easy gateway into megaevolution.
>>
>>604489
>Leech Life not bug type.
I'm starting to think most of you have never played a Pokemon game before.
>>
>>604518
But we have to use our initative to swap.
>>604514
Roost + U-Turn is better my man. More healing and doesn't rely on Gobble rolling poorly.
>>
>>604514
Huh, coulda sworn it way grass.
>>
>>604531
I was thinking stall with Bite and confuse ray and Toxic Golem. Only put Dan in if Vlad faints.
>>
>>604530
>>604514
fuck i was thinking of Leech Seed.
>>
>>604542
I don't like having Vlad out against Golem really. One wrong move and he is out.
>>
Guys.

We're down to the first three pokemon we ever caught.
>>
>>604561
Robin will be down to her first two if we beat Zoroark.
>>
>>604561
Dramatic ain't it?
>>
>>604488
I could get behind that.

I mean it basically guarantees we'll have either a Lucario or Riolu following us around, but that coupled with>>604487

Would make a pretty damn cool character.

“Vlad! Come on out!”

Vlad loops on his exit from his Pokeball, showing his recovered speed.

Robin’s shoulders slump just a little. Vlad is tricky. She collects herself and refocuses. You can see her cybernetic eye do something that requires quickly dropping the illusion for a fraction of a second. She wants to be able to track him. Vlad can sometimes get to speeds too fast to really see.

You can already see the internal debate. How are you going to play this? Will you go for a quick assault to finish Zoroark? Will you use utility or stat moves? Will you do something else? How’s she going to counter it?

You grin. Not out of putting her on the spot, but in excitement about what comes next.

Nah, maybe just poor city kid who always dreamed of something better for himself and his mother.

>The drawback is we're cripplingly insecure and anxious.

We did that tho.
Sheltered,naive (maybe even a bit snooty. Ardledge levels not Dick) would work well for this character as flaws. Physical disabilities could be a thing too however that could be largely negated by having Pokemon. (Seeing eye Arcanines would be cool as fuck but being blind would put a serious damper on the quest action.) Gobbles slot blind samurai type trainer into possible NPC/Travelling Companion.

Kat has self-worth issues, it's not so much about 'will they still like me if they find out I'm poor' it's more 'why do they like me I'm gutter trash.'

“Vlad! Roost and U-Turn!”

As Vlad zooms down for a microsecond of rest, you see Robin swapping Pokeballs. She retreives “Golem” and sends out Golem!

Just in time to take a U-Turn, dead on.

“Oh! And it looks like a sudden switch.”

“That’s right, Chip. Robin seems to really want to avoid matching her Zoroark against speedy Vlad.

Golem sits there, still asleep.

“Come on! Wake up!”

He stirs slightly, but he's still out. You’ll have time to pull something off with your next Pokemon. Who will you toss out?

>Devon (Houndoom)

I think she might have a idea but Golem is immune to sparkle cannon anyways due to Golem being Rock/ground type.
>>
>>604794
Sparkle cannon is steel...
>>
>>604794
Sparkle Cannon is steel.. But he does have Sturdy. Or good odds of it.
>>
>>604794
Think Sparkle is Steel type? But it's probably immune due to Sturdy anyways so the point is moot.
>>
>>604794
What typing is sparkle cannon? I thought it was steel?

>Zappy Dan
Let's not play our auto lock on card just yet. We have Magnet Bomb right?
>>
Please read the pastebin people.
>>
>>604796
It is? Nice then we can just use that to one shot golem with a autohit
>>604799
I think golem has taken damage at some point but ill go check last thread for it.
>>
Hey Gobble? Can you confirm what ability Golem has? Kat has studied that sort stuff so she should know by now.
>>
>>604802
We have Flash cannon, which is much stronger and super effective.

His sturdy for regular moves is broken too
>>
>>604802
That is a physical move, we can just Flash Cannon.
>>
>>604805
He just got hit by uturn
>>
>>604751
>Zappy Dan (Magnezone)
>>
>>604805
Nope golem is at full hp so let's just go with flash cannon after magnet rise
>>
>>604805
Sturdy makes him immune to OHKO moves. As in they do no damage ever.

This guy has it right.

>>604834
k. well so long as he has access to sturdy our OHKO is useless. Unless we psyche her out somehow.
>>
>>604842
No, Sturdy makes you IMMUNE to 1HKO moves.
>>
>>604816
>>604818
Fair point. Just used to being cautious with Sturdy, but if it's busted we'll be fine.
>>
>>604834
I just had a thought about the ability training

Slaking with Wonder Guard, how OP does that sound?
>>
>>604849
>>604832
nope in the last 2 gens sturdy does this
>It cannot be knocked out with one hit.
Meaning that we can use sparkle cannon now that he has lost hp to U-turn
>>
>>604849
My mistake.
>>604858
Oh god, please no.
>>
>>604861
It is both.
>>
I wouldn't be surprised if Golem knows Brick Break and Dig.
She was probably hoping to get a Rock Polish with it to deal with Dan.
>>
>>604874
Okay yeah read the rest of the wikipage. so it is.
>>
>>604861
It's both now, complete immunity to 1hko moves, and not being able to be knocked out at full hp
>>
>>604891
Magnet Rise > Dig.
>>
So there are two ways we can do this, full offense or defensive. Flash Cannon or Magnet Rise.

On top of the fact that he is a Special Attack Tank. The reason we taught him Magnet Bomb is because STAB and Explosion for free switching and the fact that it is stupidly strong. We should have invented an electric type Special Explosion too.

“Golem! Wake up! F-f-focus!” Robin half commands, half pleads. She’s backed into a corner here.

No time to worry about that. “Dan! Magnet Rise! Hurry!”

Dan slowly powers up his levitating...muscles? Magnets? You’re not sure about what to call the anatomy. The point is, he focuses the energy in the right place and rises off the ground. Dan’s big and slow, but Golem is slower. Of course, that makes Analytic not very useful against him.

Robin pleads with the Pokemon she caught oh so long ago. “F-f-focus Punch!”

You guess that gets to Golem, because he springs awake. He’s still as slow as molasses, but he rings his full weight to bear in a running, zen-like charge against Zappy Dan. He lands a stupefyingly powerful Focus Punch.

Robin looks as surprised as everyone else.

Your hair flies back first, then you hear the ear-shattering TONG. Dan spins and bounces off the ground for a second ungraciously despite his Magnet Rise. He nearly floats off the edge of the arena with his eye closed.

But Dan stops. His eyes open, then narrow.

You can’t help but cheer. If it were anyone else, if it weren’t for that critical hit negation training to take a bit of the edge off, on top of the defense training, on top of Dan’s relaxed nature that allows him to roll with the hits, he’d be out. Every factor worked together to keep him in the game where any other Pokemon would be knocked clean out.

And now he’s mad. Mad and locked on.

“I-I knew you wouldn’t attack while he was sleeping,” Robin explains. “Y-you always go for a setup.”

But you can tell from her voice that she didn’t expect it to work. She didn’t have a clever plan this time. Just gambling.

And unfortunately it paid off. Dan is hurt pretty badly.

>They’re both near the edge. Ram and use Explosion to try to knock him off! (hard)
>Use Hyper Beam to try to knock him off the edge. Won’t be as easy as Explosion, but Dan won’t faint by using it.

nah if it would have crit Golem would have KO'd for sure due to having been hit by Vlads U-turn.

This isn't quite following game calculations, but I wouldn't be surprised if Gobble did it given the dramatic build up and Dan being a special attack monster while Golem is Golem.

literally no damage, not stab and dan has high def

Yes, but Dan is still Dan.

Dan would've been the best lockpick had we have known...

Sure but I inferred it based on the fact he said no damage while Golem has a base 120 Attack and Sucker Punch is base 80.

“Flash Cannon! Full power!” You commit to doing as much damage as you can.

“Sucker Punch!”

Golem crouches and strikes with a strong Dark type attack. Dan’s mighty defenses crumble under the power.

Dan’s consciousness starts to leave him

But Dan pushes. He pushes with everything. And before he goes down, he gets at least some of his Flash Cannon out. And it hurts. It’s not a critical hit, but it’s a very powerful attack thanks to Dan’s Special Attack training and being super effective. Golem’s pushed back and forced to take a knee.

Dan doesn’t explode or drop like a rock. He just slowly powers down and comes to a rest on the ground.

Golem is breathing heavily, sweating, and barely in the fight. He sees the referees giving him an inspecting look and forces himself up onto two legs.

“Magnezone is unable to battle.”

Golem’s legs tremble, but he stays up.

“Good job, Dan.” Another unlucky matchup. That's not the first time Dan's gotten that last hit in before fainting. It's sort of his thing. And you’re still in a good spot. Vlad used roost to regain almost all of his health back, and Devon is still fresh. Robin has a very injured Golem, a very injured Zoroark, and Sylveon.

"And what started out as a clever match of back and forth tactics has devolved into a slugfest between titans."

"That's right, Chip. It's becoming a contest of who wants it more."

Who will you send out next?

>Devon (Houndoom)
>Vlad (Crobat)

>>
>>605389

There's nothing she's got that will want to take a hit from Devon right now, and Vlad's speed isn't going to matter if she can get a final Sucker Punch in. May as well do this now.
>>
>>605389
>Vlad (Crobat)
>>605396
What?
>>
>>605389
>Vlad (Crobat)
>>
>>605389
>Vlad (Crobat)
Time for some flying type action, and with vlad fully heald we will win even if Robin decides to go with sucker punch
>>
>>605389
>Vlad (Crobat)
We all know what the final match will be at this point.
>>
>>605389
>Vlad (Crobat)
>>
>>605399
Vlad can still roost after an attack.
>>
>>605399
>>605389
Vlad can take the hit.
>Vlad (Crobat)
>>
>>605399
Vlad is at full hp right now and should be able to tank that.
>>
>>605382
You're right. It doesn't matter because we have Vlad on standby with Toxic. We still need to be aware of it until it's knocked out though.
>>
>>605389
>Devon (Houndoom)
Looks like it's time to hit that sub-par Sp Defense with everything.
>>
So Bite + Roost sound good with people? Bite and Astonish are his only non resisted moves.
>>
>>605403
we can even Wing Attack -> Roost so that if she does a sucker punch we'll get healed up some.
>>
>>605423
Maybe roost then bite? To throw off sucker punch
>>
>>605411
>>605413

I don't doubt it, but I was hoping he wouldn't have to. Still, fair enough.
>>
>>605425
I feel like Sucker Punch will work anyways.
>>
>>605423
I like confuse ray+toxic, then keep our distance.
>>
>>605400
He's probably upset that Robin had us completely outsmarted but Dan still got an attack through.

THere is precedence for this though. Dan has managed to stay up for just long enough to attack before.
>>
>>605423

I was thinking Toxic and Double Team. See if Vlad can take out Golem and be set up for Zoroark
>>
>>605429
>>605413
He doesn't have to risk the crit. Toxin is a guaranteed KO.
>>
>>605433
I'm not a fan of giving Golem an attack that could be super effective if Robin goes for Stone Edge.
>>
>>605445
One rock move could be disastrous
>>
>>605431
Sucker Punch does damage and is an increased priority move. If Sucker Punch's target has selected a physical or special attack and has not yet had a chance to execute its move, Sucker Punch will damage the target; otherwise, Sucker Punch will fail. Sucker Punch only depends on the move the target has selected, and is not affected by any consideration of whether the attack can actually be executed, such as status conditions like sleep or freeze or Abilities like Truant.
If the user is put to sleep or frozen during the round that Sucker Punch is (or attempts to be) used, Sucker Punch's increased speed priority will not be reset. Subsequently, it will only be reset on the turn after the user wakes up or is defrosted, or if the user switches out.
>>
>>605449
it all depends on if she would predict us not using an attack on a super weak pokemon.
>>
>>605448
>>605433
>>605445
Toxic does damage at the end of a turn and Stone Edge has increased crit chance. Granted she might go for Sucker Punch, but that is what Roost is for.
>>605453
We are doing two moves at once.
>>
We should double tap Golem, then use Roost if it manages to hit Vlad. But what I'm expecting is Explosion, and then Devon dropping Zoroark in one shit, so we get the ending matchup everyone wants
>>
>>605452
>>605449
Sure, but Rock moves have generally worse accuracy anyways, plus being put into a one Vs. Two situation would be far worse.
>>
>>605460
*Shot, whoops
>>
>>605455
how about Toxic + Roost?
that removes our flying type so if she goes for stone edge it won't be super effective, but if she went with sucker punch, it won't do anything. slightly lower risk and might get us out completely undamaged.
>>
If we're sending Vlad out, going for a sure kill before Golem can use any rock-type moves is the safe way to go. Sucker Punch might hurt, but we can probably take it. Stone Edge would wreck our shit and probably seal the match.
>>
>>605460
Oh right, Explosion/Self-Destruct is Golem's best move now.
>>
>>605461
Correction. one Vs. three
>>
>>605452

Ok then, lead with Double Team, follow up with Leech Life, incase of rock damage.

Golem is on the edge, we can take him down and still be in decent fighting shape for a second fight.
>>
What about Swift + Roost. Out of range for explosion, Roost for Sucker Punch, and doesn't give a chance for a Rock Move.
>>
>>605484
Are we sure a non-stab special half effective like swift is enough to take it out?
>>
Also if we knew exactly how Sucker Punch worked with Vlad's double moves this would be so much simpler.
>>605489
Yeah, this is a real hard equation, but it seems like it might be. Golem has shit special defense.
>>
Golem is on it's last leg you guys are over thinking this
The only thing we need to worry about is getting fucked by the dice
>>
Also. Watch this be the last update for today.

We gonna get blue-balled so hard.
>>
>>605489
No, we aren't, so we should go with something stronger to make sure.
>>
Toxic + Confuse Ray ensures the kill while Providing a 50+% chance of not getting hit back. I don't recall the exact percentage of evade provided by one Double team but I'm fairly certain it's less than 50.
>>
>>605504
it would lower Stone edge's acc to 60%

“Go, Vlad!”

Vlad twirls in excitement as he comes out. He’s getting a little tired, but he still

Once again Robin’s faced with a difficult choice. Sucker Punch again could give Vlad some much needed damage, but if you use moves like Toxic or Confuse Ray it’ll fail.

Golem could use Rock Slide and really ruin Vlad’s day. But of course, if Vlad hits him with a direct attack, he’ll fall right over.

She looks exhausted but excited. The pressure and tension is as thick as the Rock Pokemon’s hide. Vlad is a good counter to Sylveon, and just as dangerous to Zoroark as he is to Golem right now. A lot is riding on what call both you and her make.

Golem sweats. So do you.

Robin's running numbers in her head. She looks overwhelmed with choices and variables. You can't help but feel the same way.

Why are people treating Sucker Punch like a 1HKO? Vlad has anti crit.
>>
So, how does everyone think this battle compares to the other elite 4 battles? I honestly think this is the most tense and excited I've been during a match in this quest. There's been tons of back and forth and trying to out maneuver each other.
>>
>>605570
Certainly looks new.

Also, might be a tad early to ask questions, but what do you think of all the brainstorming over character ideas?
>>
>>605523
>>Confuse Ray + Toxic
I think the chance of Devon going up against Two Sucker Punch users with Super Effective attacks and Sylveon is too great a risk regardless of how strong he is. Devon does outspeed Zoroark while mega'd so we get the chance to cripple it's already not great attack stat with Will-o-Wisp even if Vlad goes down here. Golem needs to go, he's too great a threat. I think Devon can handle Zoroark and Sylveon if he needs to.

Yeah, people seem to treat Sucker Punch as GG for Vlad when he has already taken one before.
>>
>>605588
Sucker punch would be a bad move to use against Devon so we can be quite sure that Devon can clear both the Zoroark and Sylveon.

[I like it. I want to do an initial character gen with votes, and I want the starting aspects not to be too strong so that players have a chance to develop the MC over time instead of locking in everything all at once, but the ideas that have been floated are excited.

For example, if the initial vote is for a character with natural aura abilities, he or she would still be very much a beginner without a lot of skill. You'd need to practice and find teachers and other things to make it more than just a vague, circumstantial sense. A nice jumping off point, but leaving things open to change direction]
>>
>>605585
I think everyone is just nervous to the possibility of a really bad roll. This is the championship match after all.

>>605586
Its nerve racking but exciting
>>
>>605585
He's not bulky. Base 80 Def and 85 Hp are okay at best and without investment are not much, where as Golem is trained in Attack with a 120 base. While Anticrit would help it doesn't prevent them entirely.
>>
>>605586
This is pretty much the best fight in the league. It's a strong finish for the quest. Robin definitely earned her title.

It'd be neat to search the islands for aura masters to learn from. A nice side quest to the contest/gym/whatever stuff

A novice aura user could be neat. I actually am partial to the idea of a fabulous guy for a MC. My mental image is of a guy who's somewhat twinkish in terms of his appearance, but who still acts like a regular dude.

A guy who's in touch with his feminine side while still being straight would be a nice contrast from toyboy Kat. Also it would open up the possibility of pretty good crossdressing for lewdbins.

I second basically everything here.

no reason Fabulous guy can't have aura.

After all Fabulous isn't a perk or anything

I find myself more in favour Aura now that's been brought up.

>>605645
Oh, I wasn't suggesting that in place of an aura. I like the aura idea, too. This was more of an in-addition-to thing.
>>
>>605613
Except Confuse Ray does. And I'm not relying on the Confuse Ray I'm relying on the Toxic. Even if Devon resist Sucker Punch it's still potentially free damage on Devon. We can guess at Crobat surviving a Sucker Punch but we have no way of being certain.

Robin closes her eyes. She can’t bear to watch. “Sucker Punch!”

At the same, you yell out your own command. “Bite, then Roost!”

Vlad comes flying down at mach speeds, only to suffer a heavy punch to the jaw for his troubles. It knocks some bells loose, but he doesn’t let it stop him from landing a respectable bite.

Golem goes reeling backwards and collapses. Vlad takes the opportunity to catch a brief respite and regain some of the lost health.

“Golem is unable to battle.” The announcement is nearly drowned out by the cheering.

She retrieves Golem, thanking him for everything he managed.

She inhales, exhales and throws out Sylveon.

There’s a light breeze as-

...Wait wait wait wait a minute. That could be Zoroark. Huh. Now this is an interesting turn of events. Zoroark is weakened, just a few notches above the state Golem was in, but Sylveon would be entirely fresh. Zoroark could probably survive a short time with Toxic thanks to it’s slowly regenerating health. Sylveon has that special blocking move using her Ribbons that you suspect works roughly similar to Trunks’ Dark Aegis.

The mystery Pokemon stands perfectly still, not doing anything to give itself away.

Robin sees you seeing it. She smiles and nods. This is probably one of her last attempts at a trick.

[It's really close and any one move can make a difference. Robin's chosen what she's going to do and I'm excited to see it play out.

I want to make sure this vote has a clear winner. Since there are two strong contenders and a few misc votes, I want to simplify it down to the two big choices and let everyone revote.

So with that being said, please choose one. Since we have IDs there's no need to worry about quote-only]

“Sucker Punch!” Robin looks a little self-conscious to always be repeating herself.

But you clearly see her plan, now. It all rolls in in slow motion. Vlad comes rushing down at his target with that absurd speed of his, and suffers yet another Sucker Punch.

Of course, it’s not enough to stop Vlad. It hurts, a lot, but it won’t finish him. And Robin knows it. Zoroark knew it. You can see it in his smile as he takes the Cross Poison, changes back into his true form, and gets sent sailing in the other direction.

“Oh! And it’s a critical hit!”

Zoroark is very cleanly out, even before he hits the ground. Vlad stops short of battering the unconscious opponent as it comes skidding to a stop and flies over instead. You taught him better than to do something like that. He comes loop back around to your side, though. His wings batting and his mouth wide open to suck up as much air as he can get.

“That’s right Chip. And it looks like...yes! The referee is making the call. Zoroark is unable to battle.”

Robin retrieves the hard working little guy. He’s certainly pulled his weight.

She reaches for her last Pokeball. You know who it is. Robin isn’t pulling any trick or scheme at the moment. She’s going to send out Sylveon. And she’s taking her time. It’s a signal.

You both know that Sylveon knows Quick Attack, and Vlad likely can’t handle that with how much he’s been roughed up. She can probably switch from Pixelate to something else to ensure it’s effective enough. So she’s letting you decide. You can declare Vlad as out, or you can keep Vlad in and try to pull something off anyway. Vlad’s it a weird grey area and if you switch right away, the refs might declare him as done.

“Vlad, how are you feeling?”

He wheezes, but offers a weak smile.

You look over to Robin as she throws out Sylveon. You don’t have a plan. It’s not that you don’t have faith in Vlad. It’s that you don’t see a way to make this fair to him. Vlad, and really all of your Pokemon, are willing to go above and beyond to try their hardest. But with that level of dedication from them, there needs to be the same level of consideration from you.

You and Vlad exchange another look. “You did really well, Vlad. I’m really proud of you.”

He smiles. He knows you’re throwing in his towel, and he’s okay with that. Vlad’s happy to have helped. He flies over to give you a hug and you squeeze back as hard as you dare.

You retrieve him in his ball. Maybe he could have pushed and fought, maybe he’d get humiliated for no good reason. You’ll never know. But you know that right now he’s content, tired, and earned a rest.

You look to Robin and Sylveon. Your hand falls to Devon’s Pokeball.

[End of updates for today. I’ll be around a bit to answer questions. Next thread will be Saturday.]

Yeah I can get behind this. I think Gobble was saying something similar.

A /fa/bulous aura reader that has fun island adventures and brown waifus. Islands are good for festivals and varied traditions and stuff.
>>
>>606119
Aura reader/guardian may lead to getting a Lucario, which would be neat

>>606150
or another Pokemon that can learn Aura Sphere
I don't dislike Lucario but it isn't the only aura capable pokemon

>>606157
Togekiss can learn it, as can a few others. I think most are legendaries though

>>606186
Apparently the normal mon who can learn it are, Lucario/Riolu, Mienfoo/Mienshao, Togekiss, Clawitzer and Squirtle

Mienfoo is also pretty fashionable.

Just look at some of the Bloodborne sets.

They're elegant and refined and thus fabulous as fuck.

The fact you look like you could fuck someone up if necessary is an added bonus.

For example, pic related.
>>
>>606757
Most of the stuff from that game is way too stuffy for tropics.
>>
>>606780
True, but it's a good starting point for a contest costume.

And it's a good basis, rather than good as a full translation.
>>
>>606821
I can agree with that. Maybe something like E4 Will from gen2?
>>
>>606849
Either that or Lance.

Maybe cross with something like Drake's coat.

Depends really.

Another option is to take inspiration from Riley and Sir Aaron.
