M&F

neutral STAB is likely to be comparable or stronger than middling off-type, I mean, though also probably more expensive.

yeah it probably isn't such a big deal to stick a few/bunch of thematic mechanically weak extras for creativity purposes.

... huh, is that a change? could have sworn metronome &c. used to have an energy cost of their own.

"In other news, I badly want to mess around with the moves that Nature Power summons. At least update them into what they summon since like Gen IV, or possibly just assemble of list of reasonable average/slightly above average BP moves for it to summon, or maybe even just chalk more of it up to ref fiat."

so I was looking at the moves and they're mostly just decent-but-not-spectacular coverage moves (also haha draco meteor ... in SPACE!), so I think you could also just write up a whitelist of moves and basically have the pokémon can be commanded to use any of these moves so long as it can be justified based on the arena (or if the justification is obvious, e.g. hydro pump on the OCEAN/lava plume IN A VOLCANO)

it would provide coverage for some pokémon depending on the arena but generally 80-90 bp is a bit less than you could do with your best STAB if it's SE, though you might save some energy (but you also lose some from indirection through nature power so)

well except for a few odd pokémon which gain hydro pump as their best STAB. but uh.

His eyes are always closed and all, so I guess he can't tell the difference.

Green peppers: Wheelbarrow Dumpling's favourite pizza topping.

Deru screams foul things (maybe for two straight actions) at Wheelbarrow Dumpling, who is too entranced by his darling Pepper's scent to notice. Perhaps it is the scent of his favourite pizza.

Thank you for not including it in the flavour text, then :p commanding first crisis mostly averted

I knew that Satchet was a good impulse buy!

Thanks. I'll be sure to use more than just a few hours to think my moves through in the future...

I'll just edit it in for now. The original is still there if you need it.

ach! I just realized one of my moves in Me vs. ZM is useless. Can I edit or is that against da rules?

I'm never doing a double battle again

Thanks, I'll read through your battle.

I laughed out loud at your sawk and throh and my parents asked me what was wrong.

I do believe so
All one of them

btw in your reffings the second header also says "pre-round"

That would be helpful of me, yes.

Hey, how do you personally ref stat boosts/drops? 1% or 2% difference per stage?

Haha, there's no rush - I was semi-serious about the five-year DQ time.

Yeah, I forgot too...

"A double battle! That would be fun!" thought I, hurriedly composing my challenge post on the bus home. "Surely it won't be as much of a stressful shitshow as last time I tried it! That would be absurd!"

what argument!
