Games [GAME OVER] PokeMafia Generation I

[OrangeP47]

I'm going to at least pretend to be useful, so nobody can say I was a bad teammate

Thunder Wave Snorlax

[Killing_You]

Gonna start off the battle with Reflect.

[Jeod]

This looks like it might be intense, folks. Here's some music to set the mood. Pic unrelated.

[TheIrishman]

Seismic Toss against Magnemite. Should 1HKO Magnemite, but since there's the 25% chance that I'll be stunned, maybe you should attack him as well, Cat5.

As for Alakazam, if you have Sword Dance or Leer (Leer would be preferable), either you'll hit normal dmg or we'll both hit normal dmg against him.

[TheIrishman]

Everyone can leave to do other stuff now, he won't be back until 6 hours from now.

I'm going to go make dinner, it will take 30 minutes or so.  In the event the turn gets posted before then, I will thunder wave scyther next.

[Jeod]

Welp, dunno when Category 5 will be here, but I may not be awake by the time he hops on, and other participants may not be either.

[OrangeP47]

I can play for Cat 5

[Category5]

Slash Magnemite

[Category5]

I'm trying to see if I can plan an autobattle. Thinking I tell him to Slash Magnemite until it's dead, and then switching targets. Is your plan of attack a simple bash-until-dead scenario?

[TheIrishman]

Pretty much and then I use items where needed. Though I'm not sure if Reflect actually works against Seismic Toss since in the games, although it's said that it halved the incoming physical damage, what it really did was double the defense value of their pokemon but Seismic Toss ignores the opponent's defense so...

[Retaliation]

I'm going to give it a shot and resolve the first actions.

[Category5]

I have three items that I could reasonably expect to use and also have two status effect moves I might use, but obviously those take turns. Do you need Alakazam down fast?

[TheIrishman]

Okay, looked it up. Seismic Toss isn't affected by Reflect and Night Shade isn't affected by Light Screen.

[TheIrishman]

No, but you might depending on how much damage he can do to you.

Yep, found a listing myself that direct damaging moves specifically bypass it.

[Category5]

Do you remember what moves this thing has? Reflect, Recover, Psychic?

Yeah, Seismic Toss can also hurt Ghosts while Night Shade can hurt Normal Pokemon, despite the fact that both aren't supposed to do any dmg. Though it appears that only works for Gen 1.

Reflect, Recover, Psychic, Disable (provided none of them changed).

[Category5]

Shit, disable. I forgot about disable.

[Retaliation]

Probably wise to double check results. Jeod will have to judge if Magnemite takes the full damage from seismic toss.

TURN 1:
Alakazam used Reflect!
Damage taken by team from opponent's physical attacks is halved for 5 turns!
Scyther used Slash!

A critical hit (automatic)!

Magnemite took 7 damage (14 without reflect)(18 HP left)!

Magnemite used Thunder Wave!

Snorlax is Paralyzed! It may be unable to move!

Snorlax is Paralyzed! It can't move (25% chance to fail)!

[Category5]

Wait, Reflect works on BOTH?

[TheIrishman]

Yeah...I don't see anything about it working on both

[OrangeP47]

I'm pretty sure it does work on both, at least in games with actual double battles.  Those moves always reference "team" when deploying.

[Shade939]

Here's the link again for double battle moves.

Jeod mentioned it offhand when I asked how the leer/reflect interaction worked.

[OrangeP47]

Generation III

Instead of doubling the Defense of affected Pokémon, Reflect now technically halves the damage done to them by physical moves; it still does not reduce damage done by moves that deal direct damage.

If multiple Pokémon are present on the user's side of the field, all of them are protected by Reflect, but physical damage is only reduced by a third rather than half.

[Category5]

Yeah, so it does. I was not ready for that possibility.

[OrangeP47]

Thunder Wave, Scyther!

[TheIrishman]

Okay, so the dmg needs to be changed slightly. Seismic Toss Magnemite.
