Everyone who didn't include a link to the pokémon they want to use in their post: please do so.

I'll be joining. A few questions before I make my choice regarding who to use.

Might a ralts possibly be able to consensually hover through the use of psychic powers? (I also asked this in the rules thread :l) If yes, I'll be using Crystal, my Ralts. If not, I'm probably going with Persephone, my Chansey.

Do the legendaries have any held items? I assume griseous orb for Giratina, but for the others?

What would happen if a pokemon were to hold an iron ball? Would that pokemon, fall to the ground and could the battle continue on the ground?

Since Kratos, Kusari and Pathos order by pm, then, if they so choose, they can read their opponents' commands in the thread before issuing their own. Correct?

Would it be possible to manipulate the meteors? For example, using psychic or something like that to fling them at the legendaries or use agility or the like to avoid getting hit.

Does the part about needing to attempt at least one damaging attack per round mean that if I command something like, toxic~taunt~swagger, my pokemon'll get ko'ed?

All psychic pokémon (that I can think of) are able to hover using their psychic abilities.

The legendaries have no held items. Giratina is technically holding the Griseous Orb, but it has no effect on its abilities in battle other than the forme chance and can't be knocked off/skill swapped/flung/otherwise interacted with, so it might as well not even be there.

If a pokémon held an iron orb, it would fall to the ground and die.

I think Kratos, Pathos, and Kusari will be perfectly capable of reading your commands before sending their own, yes.

You can't manipulate the meteor. They are a terrain effect and deal damage between rounds, not when your pokémon has a chance to take an action.

Yes, if your command string was Taunt ~ Toxic ~ Swagger, that would be your last round in play.

WHY CAN'T NIDOKING FLY

Does being inherently hovering count enough to be in this battle? Do consentually flying pokemon have to suffer the energy loss associated with taking to the air? Could Rael play, with some sort of psychic levitating power?

I'm signing up for this! Sorry, though, but at the moment my choice is rather unclear. (Do reserves even count?)
Click to expand...
Yes, any form of hovering or flying capability is okay for the purposes of this battle. All psychic pokémon can hover.

You can count that as a reserve, sure.

Joining, and planning to use Skar. Do I need to move him to my Active Squad first?
Click to expand...
No, you can keep him in your PC if you wish.

Jomeo my Beedrill's just about raring to go.

He's awaiting an AHBE move, though, so can he still use it here?

Also would things like Baton Pass, Volt Switch, or U-Turn lose their switching effects?
Click to expand...
Most likely your AHBE move will go through before it's your turn to fight.

Since each player gets only one pokémon, all switch-related moves lose the switch element of their effects.

I also think someone asked if consensually flying/hovering pokémon need to burn energy to stay aloft here and I missed it when I was multiquoting. In any case, for the purposes of this battle pokémon do not need to burn energy to remain in the air--they just have to be capable of keeping themselves floating/flying somehow.
 
what pokémon are considered "allies" for the purposes of moves like safeguard?

can the legendaries' effective boosts be gained with psych up?
 
Latching onto this. With my haunter. He could fly me around, right?

I'm going to hide behind sreservoir, btw. He'll probably kill all of the legendary pokemon in one round with Tackle or something!

EDIT: Someone will have to do huge fanart for this.

Snatching off the same thing (I had a similar idea!), what would happen if a legendary used psych up on a pokemon with no statboosts? Would it lose everything and reset to zero, reset to +2, or what? What if the pokemon had additional statboosts?

Do we know when Kusari, Kratos, and Pathos send in their commands? Are they allowed to reorder when someone's already posted commands?

EDIT: Also, what I meant earlier was this: do consentually flying pokemon have to pay the upkeep cost of flying to simply be in the battle? What about psychic pokemon, or ones gaining the ability to fly from either of these shops? And what about hovering pokemon?

EDIT(AGAIN): If a player is DQed and you're still in the battle, are you allowed to control two pokemon at once? What about coordinate alliances and such with other players? Are the moves counter and mirror coat banned along with OHKOs and the other set-damage moves?

Would it be possible to use a chansey (with the ability to hover) with an iron ball and bestow it to one of the legendary pokemon before dying?

I'll be using Lurline. She's getting a levitation course now, and I'm guessing the battle won't start in the next three days. So... yeah... :huh:
 
Also wait I thought that there was a strict no-legedary rule in this league... if Kratos, Kusari, and/or Pathos do win, will there be other opportunities for other members of the league to obtain legedaries, too?
