[WIN] Cliff of Thunder (Hard) - Flamestrike and Its_A_Random

[zarator]

Round 2​

Megawhal barely manages to contain Zapdos's fury, but the few moments he manages to buy are sufficient for his team mates to pierce through the foe's shield while heavily damaging the swarm of Tynamo. No more eels seem to join the fight, however you notice another puddle forming under Drillstrike's feet!

[Flamestrike]

zarator I don't think any of our field effects have run out yet but I can't find the status on those anywhere, if you could give us an update on those that would be wonderful

"Great work team! With the shield down let's start taking down this bird!"

Mindstrike: Light Screen (Gallade, Colossoil, Excadrill) -> Wish
Sludgestrike: Earth Power (Zapdos) -> Ice Beam (Zapdos)
Stonestrike: Drill Run (Zapdos) -> Rock Slide (Zapdos)
Drillstrike: Rock Slide (Tynamos 4 5 & 6) -> Earth Power (Zapdos)

With a Puddle on him Drillstrike can't do a whole lot so he can finish off the Tynamo (9 + 4.5 = lethal) and then start some piddly offence on Zapdos. At least if a Puddle hits Stonestrike he'll have Rock Slide and Stone Edge to work with, and obviously Sludgestrike and Mindstrike won't care. Mindstrike's getting smacked by Big Thunder so hopefully Light Screen and a future Wish will help with that. Let me know if you want me to change anything.

 

[Its_A_Random]

"Easy does it."

Sleast: Earthquake (Zapdos, Glyph) > Earth Power (Zapdos)

Megawhal: Stone Edge (Zapdos) > Earthquake (Zapdos, Glyph)

Tormeldon: Earthquake (Zapdos, Glyph) > Earth Power (Zapdos)

Utilitand: Heal Pulse (Megawhal) > Earthquake (Zapdos, Glyph)

Round 3​

Now the team focuses all efforts on the main boss, while Drillstrike disposes of the remaining eels with ease. However, Zapdos does not show any hint of giving up and strikes the Gallade with a mighty thunderbolt. Moreover, another puddle seems to have formed under Stonestrike's feet.

[Flamestrike]

zarator Excadrill has the Glyph of Rock Slide on him so there should have been no spread penalty, and a +1 bonus to BAP, meaning all of the Tynamo should have died to his Rock Slide leaving Rhyperior to Rock Slide Zapdos and only Zapdos (also apparently you can't single target spread moves after all. /me shakes fist at whoever told me otherwise)

 

[zarator]

Ops, fixed!

 

[Flamestrike]

Rhyperior has the same glyph so his Rock Slide on Zapdos should have had one more BAP.

"Those puddles are getting annoying, but there's not a whole lot we can do about them. Let's just keep smashing Zapdos!"

Mindstrike: Wish -> Heal Pulse (Colossoil)
Sludgestrike: Earth Power (Zapdos) -> Ice Beam (Zapdos)
Stonestrike: Stone Edge (Zapdos) -> Rock Slide (Zapdos)
Drillstrike: Rock Slide (Zapdos) -> Earth Power (Zapdos)

With that Wish incoming Mindstrike can take one more Big Thunder easily enough and Zapdos shouldn't live to launch a third, so he'll rest up a bit and then throw Soil a heal. Trick Room wears off next round so we'll have to set that back up, and puddles might start to hurt, but otherwise looks like smooth sailing from here.

 

[Its_A_Random]

Flamestrike: Gallade flinched thanks to Big Thunder apparently replacing the next action with Flinch and Wish never got off as a result. If you want to use it A1, then go do so. Otherwise it is not worth it since Gallade will not live two Big Thunders after one Wish alone.

"Oh god this brings back some bad memories... kinda."

Sleast: Earthquake (Zapdos, Glyph) > Earth Power (Zapdos)

Megawhal: Stone Edge (Zapdos) > Earthquake (Zapdos, Glyph)

Tormeldon: Eruption > Earth Power (Zapdos)

Utilitand: Heal Pulse (Megawhal) > Chill

 

[Flamestrike]

Since when is anything allowed to flinch the action after it's used anymore ._. *sigh*, must be a raid thing. Fixed, I'm going to have to start chilling soon but for now I'll be okay.

 

[zarator]

Flamestrike: Yes, it is a raid thing.

Round 4​

Megawhal now requires all the heals the team mates can muster to keep up, but the time he is buying is well employed by the rest of the squad to lay the hurt on the foe. Zapdos however shrugs off the blows and keeps smacking the Colossoil with aerial assaults. Meanwhile, another puddle forms beneath Sleast, but unlike his team mates, the Gastrodon looks at ease in the surrounding water.

"This is going to kinda get annoying but we should not have too much left to do now."

Sleast: Mud Bomb (Zapdos) > Earth Power (Zapdos)
IF Zapdos is untargetable when you act, THEN use Chill that action.

Megawhal: Stone Edge (Zapdos) > Earthquake (Zapdos, Glyph)
IF Zapdos is untargetable when you act, THEN use Chill that action.

Tormeldon: Eruption > Earth Power (Zapdos)
IF Zapdos is untargetable when you act, THEN use Chill that action.

Utilitand: Trick Room > Heal Pulse (Megawhal)

I would get Gallade to Trick Room but Big Thunder could screw that up. Gallade should focus on recovery, everything else should focus on attacking. Remember untargetable subs. We should win in 2-3 rounds time.

 

[Flamestrike]

"Things are getting dicey but we're close! Let's race to the finish!"

Mindstrike: chill -> chill
Sludgestrike: Earth Power (Zapdos) -> Ice Beam (Zapdos)
If Zapdos is untargetable chill and push back
Stonestrike: Stone Edge (Zapdos) -> Rock Slide (Zapdos)
If Zapdos is untargetable chill and push back
Drillstrike: Rock Slide (Zapdos) -> Earth Power (Zapdos)
If Zapdos is untargetable chill and push back

Since Gallade has the Steadfast boost he'll chill before Big Thunder hits A1 and then flinch A2. Not that it matters at all, mind, but meh, worth noting.

The puddles are beginning to take their toll on the team, but after the continued assault, Zapdos finally seems on the verge of the defeat. However, you suddenly notice the gravity has returned to its normal intensity!

Quest: Cleansing the Elements (Flamestrike, Its_A_Random)

The violent strife with Zapdos cleared the way from the slide which was blocking the path. You proceed through it, as it seems to lead down from the mountain. Above you, the sky slowly clears as the thunderstorm fades away. An important step towards the conquest of the Stormrage Mountain summit has been done - Lance will likely want to hear word from you as soon as possible. While you walk down the route, though, you spot an odd construction, sculptured in the wall. It seems some kind of altar, but you ignore what the writings on its surface could possibly mean... until, suddenly, the scepter Eusine gave you starts shimmering! Perhaps it can be used on the altar is some way?

a) Cleanse the altar
b) Leave

 

[Flamestrike]

Brandon took a calming breath. For the third time, he had taken down Zapdos, and for the third time, he had doubts. Could he do it? Was he truly able to beat Raikou, an enemy that had already taken him out twice? For a while it had seemed impossible, but right now, with his Pokemon behind him and ready to fight, he knew he HAD to be able to. He looked back to his partner IAR, who merely nodded. He took one more breath to calm his nerves, then lowered the scepter to the altar for the third time. It was now or never.

Cleanse the altar

 

[zarator]

Wielding tightly the scepter in your hands, you point it at the altar. A glowing yellow light spreads from the top of the scepter, reaching the topaz socketed in the altar and shattering it. Suddenly, the sky above you is once again swarmed by black, menacing clouds. But this time, a heavy rainstorm follows the thunders and the gusts of wind. You wonder if it wouldn't be better to just leave, but before you can make this decision, a mighty lightning bolt falls from the sky, hitting the ground near you. You close your eyes for a moment, blinded by the sudden burst of light. Then, when you reopen them, a threatening beasts stands before you, a fierce look in its eyes!

Steeling yourselves for the battle, you draw out your Poké Balls in defense!

As soon as your Pokémon come out of their Poké Balls, though, the beast conjures a lightning ball and throws it at one of them!

Target: 2/8

Lightning Ball (Nidoking): The affected Pokémon takes 10 damage at the end of each action, plus 10 for each consecutive action. The ball accumulates as many damage as the damage suffered by each Pokémon wielding it. The ball can be passed to another friendly Pokémon using an action. If the ball is thrown at Raikou, Raikou takes as much damage as the amount of charges on the Lightning Ball. If no Lightning Ball are present at the end of an action, Raikou will throw another one.

 

[Its_A_Random]

"You."

Sleast: Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) > Earth Power (Raikou)

Megawhal: [Toggle Pressure ON] Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) > Drill Run (Raikou)

Tormeldon: Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) > Earth Power (Raikou)

Utilitand: Helping Hand (Megawhal) > Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph)

Here is what I am thinking: deal as much damage as possible and get Light Screen up early. Watch out for a possible A1 Dig. As for lightning ball rotations I am looking at the more dangerous 4-2 Rotation with Heal Pulse support and Fidgit taking the last two actions of the ball before firing off. Of course this only results in an extra 20 dmg to Lightning Shield but we need all the damage we can get to maximise our chances. It is not as if Nidoking is getting Threat anyway. Trick Room and Gravity I feel are unnecessary for this encounter.

 

[Flamestrike]

"You've defeated me twice, beast, but I will not fail this time! We will cleanse Stormrage once and for all!"

Sludgestrike: Toggle Sheer Force ON

Mindstrike: Light Screen (Colossoil/Fidgit/Gastrodon) -> Mimic (Colossoil, Drill Run)
Sludgestrike: Earth Power (Raikou) -> Drill Run (Raikou)
Stonestrike: Dig (Raikou) -> Drill Run (Raikou)
Drillstrike: Dig (Raikou) -> Drill Run (Raikou)

Took me a while to agree with you on Trick Room but seeing as Dig won't be on the slate even with Light Screen up yeah Trick Room is hardly necessary. So I'll just prep Gallade to be able to help out with the offense some when he's not healing or refreshing Light Screen. Let me know if you want different targets on the Light Screen.

Round 1​

Raikou immediately shoots off globes of water at the Ground-type raid members, but Sleast redirects them and swells them to raise his power. Meanwhile, the other team mates start attacking the legendary beast with everything they got.

"Yeah maybe Reflect will probably be useful after all..."

Sleast: Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) > Earth Power (Raikou)

Megawhal: Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) > Drill Run (Raikou)
IF Raikou is untargetable when you act A2, THEN use Earth Power (Raikou) A2.

Tormeldon: Eruption (Raikou) > Earth Power (Raikou)
IF Raikou is untargetable when you act A1, THEN use Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) A1.

Utilitand: Reflect (Megawhal | Sleast | Sludgestrike) > Heal Pulse (Sludgestrike)

I guess a Helping Hand Colossoil's way could help in the battle to secure threat on Colossoil? Alternatively I could just Double Team but not yet. Heal Pulse means that Nidoking should live to carry out the 4-2 rotation. Otherwise keep attacking.

 

[Flamestrike]

"We're off to a good start, now don't hold back!"

Mindstrike: Helping Hand (Colossoil) -> Drill Run (Raikou)
If Raikou is untargetable A2 use Heal Pulse (Nidoking) instead
Sludgestrike: Earth Power (Raikou) -> Drill Run (Raikou)
If Raikou is untargetable A2 use Dig (Raikou) instead
Stonestrike: Dig (Raikou) -> Drill Run (Raikou)
If Raikou is untargetable A2 use Dig (Raikou) instead
Drillstrike: Dig (Raikou) -> Drill Run (Raikou)
If Raikou is untargetable A2 use Dig (Raikou) instead

Helping Hand is the best offense Mindstrike has here anyway so he might as well throw one Megawhal's way to hopefully solve our threat issues. Unfortunately he doesn't have Dig so if Raikou uses Dig A2 I guess he'll throw an extra heal at Sludgestrike in case he gets the orb again. Also just to confirm I only throw the orb to Fidgit on A1 next round right, not right now?

Round 2​

Sleast shrugs off Raikou's psychic assault with ease, and when the legendary beast turns once more on Megawhal, he redirects once more the foe's globe of water. Meanwhile, the Ground-types keep up their assault, leaving quite a mark in the enemy. However, Sludgestrike won't be able to withstand the unstable ball of lightning for much longer.

"I give up with this threat thing... Give Utilitand the Lightning Ball now!"

Sleast: Mud-Slap (Raikou) > Earth Power (Raikou)
IF Raikou is untargetable when you act A1, THEN use Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) A1.

Megawhal: Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) > Drill Run (Raikou)
IF Raikou is untargetable when you act A2, THEN use Earth Power (Raikou) A2.

Tormeldon: Ember (Raikou) > Earth Power (Raikou)
IF Raikou is untargetable when you act A1, THEN use Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph) A1.

Utilitand: Chill > Earthquake (Raikou, Glyph)

Okay now is the time for Nidoking to give Fidgit the Lightning Ball. I am being a little bit conservative this round with Mud-Slap and Ember pretty much to get some mileage and hopefully not have to chill once, RNG allowing. Basically just attack this round and let Fidgit hold the Lightning Ball for two actions by getting Nidoking to pass its ball over, then we can unleash all we have got next round. At least the fact that Raikou has only done 10 damage by itself in two rounds means that healing maintenance is not super necessary for the time being.
