[OOC] Pokemon Spiral

[LuckyBlackCat]

@OtomostheCrazy You going to have Alexis meet Mistress Hollow?

[Heckno12]

@OtomostheCrazyWe're not in the right town just yet, but if people want to do some kind of mock contest that's up to you guys.

mesalon doesn't have its own hall.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@OtomostheCrazy We can prepare for contests, at least.

@fer1323 Oh no, are Oscar, Sophia and Alexis all going to be preparing for contests later?

[OtomostheCrazy]

I dunno. I haven't had time to plan anything yet.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 Solanna vs the Ultra Beasts:

Trying out Torkoal instead of Infernape, because this team needs more Pokemon with good defense.

[fer1323]

@LuckyBlackCat I do not mind training for contests later.

[OtomostheCrazy]

Found some time to try out my Anti-Toxapex Team.

Also may have some time to make a post later. One more final before I have around 5 days to study for my last one

[Noxx]

gonna wait for the other groups to move forward before pushing Nyxx somewhere

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat Odd to see a nihel without Stone edge. Nicely done though.

@OtomostheCrazy Man that person got greedy with swords dance.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@OtomostheCrazy That battle ended on the most awesome note :D

@Heckno12 Yeah, Stone Edge would've wrecked my team. Though the sun team's doing better now I've added Torkoal, and made some other adjustments.

It's a shame Whimsicott can't learn Synthesis. She could have Chlorophyll as an ability, but Prankster is more useful for her, so Sunny Day doesn't help her at all, it just makes things tougher for her. She fits thematically, Sun Stone and all, but still... I had to give her an Occa berry to offset the Fire weakness.

I'm wondering whether to give her Solar Beam, but she kind of needs her other moves.

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat I think she does fine as things are, that moonblast packs a punch.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 I was just wondering how she could fit a sun team better... Oh well, she's one of the strongest Pokemon in this team anyway, it's just the Fire weakness that's a problem.

[OtomostheCrazy]

@LuckyBlackCat
What, bug and bird-types aren't weaknesses either?

[LuckyBlackCat]

@OtomostheCrazy The fire weakness is the worst because it's a sun team, so if Sunny Day is active, I have to wait until it wears off before I send out Whimsicott. It could be used against her all too easily.

Oddly enough, she can usually counter Bug and Flying types with her stat-boosting and status moves.

[OtomostheCrazy]

I am half-tempted to try and challenge the gym leader as Deneb with only Maractus.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@OtomostheCrazy Even with just Maractus, he'd be better prepared than Sophia... You might want at least one other Pokemon though.

@Heckno12 @Dusksong @AbysmalDemon Whose turn is it to post in the group by the hospital?

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat I was giving dusk and abysmal a chance to post, but I can get something done once I get done at work.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 It seems just about every time more than two characters have interacted, we've had people waiting for each other xD

[OtomostheCrazy]

@LuckyBlackCat
I'm thinking Helioptile. It's an Electric/Normal type, so it technically would be within the bounds of the wild pokemon that would surround Mesalon. Or maybe not?

[Typical]

@luckyblackcat finals set me back a bit, and I was also waiting for abyssaldemon... Buuut I'll see if I can make a post later today :)
