We've got a game of cat and mouse on our hands, Coulomb.
Look, I know that your kind and their kind have had...troubles in the past. But it's nothing we can't resolve with a
hug, right? It's a step in the right direction, at least. I mean, it'll be a pretty bodily hug, get right on in there, go in charging and smack the most unhuglike hug into that Meowth. They oppressed your species after all! See if you can activate your ability when doing so, it's just inherent static in your cheeks, and up the old
Body Slam's paralysis chance.
Smiling is like Beaming, right? Well, then
Charge Smile right at Moist. You are both fans of Pratchett, share the love! Finish up with another tight
hug-slam, really let the love sink in.
Could be that the Spangler himself loves you a bit too much, and has set up some of his feline clones, and the closest we can get to a widespread hug is...damn we don't have one. I guess we'll have to think of one, think long and
think nasty about it. Along with Double Team, if Moist is untargetable, or set up a protect or whatever ('cept a good ol Substitute),
Nasty Plot away. Unless you're Taunted, in which case just try hitting him with your normal commands (Slam and Beam).
On the second action, if there are clones, try and
spread out your Charge Beam to hit them, channel it like the laser it is. If you're asleep at any time,
Sleep Talk because the RNG is love, the RNG is life.
If he's gone downwards for a one-action spelunking adventure, then I'm sure you can just wait til he comes back and give him the goods, be it death by lazor or death by hug.
