Round 6

Kumo hurries to free the team mate Venusaur from the spine, while Koken cleanses Poncho with her magical powers. Then, the Blissey takes a break as the Cyclohm joins the offense. But suddenly, Kyogre shields itself again in a bubble of water!

Rotom should be the one afflicted by Energy Torrent, correct?

"Can we just have Ludicolo spear it since we don't need to chill at all -_-"

Kumo: Thunderbolt – Thunder
Unagi: Volt Switch – Thunder
Koken: Dispel (Rotom) – Heal Pulse (Rotom)
Tanka: Grass Knot – Vine Whip

I'm not going to Grassy Terrain since Sunflora is already pretty up there in the threat list...

Its_A_Random · Feb 13, 2014

Echoing Engineer; Rotom should be torrented & no one else.

"Everyone okay?"

"RESTARTING WASHING SEQUENCE."

"Kill me... Yeah Engineer that is what I was thinking."

Rotom: Thunderbolt (Kyogre) > Thunder (Kyogre)
IF Kyogre is untargetable when you act, THEN use Chill that action, pushing actions back.

Round 7

Poncho immediately breaks the shield, causing a massive retaliation from Kyogre but allowing his team mates to strike back without having to wait. The Aromatisse paralyzed the foe with a powerful jolt of electricity, then helps Koken in healing the Rotom. Despite the relentless onslaught, though, the enemy is far from defeated. After cursing the Blissey with a mental affliction, it impales the Sunflora upon a spine of pure ice!

zarator, you forgot Sun Stone's effect in its entirety on Sunflora's Absorb. Also my calculations factoring in Sun Stone Absorb surmount to 324 DMG, surmounting to 976 HP left for Kyogre.

"Is everyone sane now?"

"..."

"Ludicolo if you may..."

Rotom: Thunderbolt (Kyogre) > Thunder (Kyogre)
IF Kyogre is untargetable when you act, THEN use Chill that action, pushing actions back.

Sunflora: Light Screen (Glyph) > Grass Knot (Kyogre)
IF Kyogre is untargetable when you act, THEN use Chill that action, pushing actions back.

Ludicolo: Loot Sunflora's Icicle Spine > Grass Knot (Kyogre)
IF Kyogre is untargetable when you act A2, THEN use Chill that action, pushing actions back.

Aromatisse: Chill > Heal Pulse (Rotom)

I guess Blissey is able to dispel itself, so I guess Blissey can comfortable handle that. No need to worry about using Light Screen, as I can get Sunflora to set it up for something low threat. If you think that we need to change some things around, like for example, Aromatisse dispels & Blissey screens, let me know. We only need to average less then 200 DMG from here on in to get the job done in 12 rounds, so... Yeah. The rest is up to you.

Engineer Pikachu · Feb 16, 2014

"I think we're good at this pace!"

Kumo: Thundershock – Volt Switch
Unagi: Spark – Volt Switch
Koken: Dispel (Koken) – chill
Tanka: Heal Pulse (Rotom) – chill

We might want to watch our EN levels but this round should be good at least.

zarator · Feb 17, 2014

I fixed Absorb's damage (it seems it was incorrect only for this round). I dunno where you got the 324 number from, though...

Its_A_Random · Feb 17, 2014

1298-(50+6+22+25+29+14+26+17)-(25+25+28+17+21+35)=1298-185-141=1298-326=972 HP.

zarator · Feb 18, 2014

Oh I see it now... I forgot the 50 damage from the spine, that's the issue. In fact it's not 185 but 189, and 151 instead of 141 (if I counted correctly). And that brings it to 958 HP as it should be. Fixing now.

zarator · Feb 18, 2014

Round 8

The team holds back a bit to reinforce defenses and restore forces, but Kyogre doesn't ease on its assault. And not too soon after freeing the team mate Sunflora from its spine, Poncho finds himself tainted with a curse, while the Aromatisse is impaled upon yet another icy spine!

I am taking this moment to back off. We only need to have > 70 EN for all Pokémon this round, then Ludicolo can throw the spine & we can pretty much go all out from there on in to the finish. Blissey can Dispel Ludicolo & do whatever, Venusaur could go offensive, & maybe heal Rotom? Your choice with your other two. All we need to do pretty much is survive this last Tidal Wave & we have pretty much got the raid won, as long as Rotom lives? Just be wary of threat possibly.

The team momentarily holds back on offense to recover forces, but without reducing the stream of heals for the team mate Rotom, which is taking quite a beating from Kyogre's violent tackles. Then, after shrugging off the raid squad's attacks like they were nothing, the huge whale shields itself in a bubble of water!

"Alright, time to hit full throttle!"

Rotom: Thunderbolt (Kyogre) > Thunder (Kyogre)
IF Kyogre is untargetable when you act, THEN use Chill that action.

Sunflora: Energy Ball (Kyogre) > Grass Knot (Kyogre)
IF Kyogre is untargetable when you act, THEN use Chill that action.

Ludicolo: Throw Icicle Spine (Tidal Shield) > Grass Knot (Kyogre)
IF Kyogre is untargetable when you act A2, THEN use Chill A2.

Aromatisse: Chill > Heal Pulse (Rotom)

Pretty simple round. Just attack with the attackers & Dispel with Blissey. Be wary of threat though, albeit at this point, you need like 90 more threat than Rotom to steal threat?

Round 10

Poncho throws his spine, breaking Kyogre's shield once again and causing the whale to retaliate with a huge wave of water. The team however endures the tide and goes on an all-out offense, hitting the enemy with every bit it can muster while Koken and the Aromatisse keep Motor alive. Things get a bit trickier, though, as Kyogre impales the Ludicolo on an icy spine!

Kyogre erupts a massive jet of water, submerging Unagi, Koken and Motor underwater. The rest of the team mates though keep pushing, and as the whale shoots a jet of pressured water at the Rotom, Kumo and Tanka deliver the final strikes. Kyogre wails in agony, before sinking in the pool of water!

After a few moments, you seem to have restored the cavern to its original, quiet state. Outside, the clouds slowly fade until the weather returns to normality, as well. Relieved to have left this endeavor behind yourselves, you prepare yourself to return to the ship. Although, you can't help turning your eyes on the back a few times on the way, as if someone were watching over you...
