[attr="class","ihead"]
RALLY ON COMMAND — KILL EVERY THREAT



[attr="class","aname2"]
READ CAREFULLY



[attr="class","ipad"]
[attr="class","ihead"]GENERAL GUIDELINES
[break][break]

A UNIQUE POKEMON APPEARS. team rocket admin has been keeping an eye on objects of interest. she's tracked down an elusive pokemon no one has ever seen before. these pokemon appeared from the same wormholes as the ones in mossdeep. the rocket boss has made it imperative that these pokemon are analyzed and should be regarded as high level threats. work together to take down these ULTRA BEASTS and win special prizes![break][break][break]

this mini-raid is designed to go over several minor boss battles and test trainers in a high-risk high-reward scenario. this raid is considered DEATH ENABLED where your pokemon and potentially even your character could die! boss battles will rely on logic and clues given throughout the battle to perform an analysis of the pokemon's ability and attack patterns. be sure to bring spare pokemon![break][break][break]




there are general rules one must follow:
[break][break]
  • members of the new TEAM ROCKET can DM to participate.
  • other characters may participate upon request but keep in mind team rocket may conspire against you!
  • have a list of the pokemon you bring with you. you may bring up to ten! keep in mind that you may not use all of them. have them and their moveset listed in your post!
  • there is no posting time constraint, but be prepared to be skipped and suffer the consequences if you take too long to post.
[break][break][break]


[attr="class","ihead"]RAID BOSSES
[break][break]

the objective of the battle is ultimately to defeat your opponents or survive long enough to ward them off. your secondary objective is to understand the opponent to make note of their special abilities in future encounters. like previous ULTRA BEAST raids, these pokemon do not operate like normal pokemon. they have their own set of rules and understanding these will prove important to your success![break][break][break]

[break][break]

furthermore, raid boss attacks will be moderated by staff. due to the mysterious nature of these creature, expect the unexpected. posts that rely on assumptions will limit how much freedom staff have to aid you. this raid has an emphasis on tension and the threat level of the boss. proceed with caution but stall too long and your prey may get away![break][break][break]


[attr="class","ihead"]POKEMON BESTIARY
[break][break]

[break][break]


a raid bestiary will serve as a tool for combatants to use to help maximize their advantages. as a team, each character can make their own conjecture about the boss' attack patterns and abilities. these will be relayed to your allies and can be tested in combat so that your characters have a better understanding of the boss to tailor their attacks and defenses. once a hypothesis has been tested and proven, the bestiary will be marked as a fact until proven otherwise. [break][break][break]

  • your character must state the observation aloud.
  • the observation will be marked with an icon to denote if it is a CONCLUSION, HYPOTHESIS, or INCORRECT.
  • observations will be tracked in subsequent mod post until rejected by conflicting evidence.
  • these observations will be shared between partnered participants (team rocket) and become in-character knowledge.
[break][break][break]


EXAMPLE:[break][break]

[break][break]

is caught off guard when her pokemon's HYPER BEAM goes straight through the mysterious pokemon. there's no way that her most powerful attack could have no effect. unless....[break][break][break]

"it must be a ghost type! normal attacks will be useless!"
[break][break][break]


[break][break]

@lenora hears through her ear piece. unfortunately, it's too late. her pokemon is already flying at the enemy with HIGH JUMP KICK. it comes as no surprise when her pokemon flies right through it, crashing into a boulder behind its target. it looks like eva was right and lenora is quick to call out, "fighting attacks don't work either! avoid using them and let's try psychic attacks!"
[break][break][break]

[attr="class","raidInstr"]
bestiary
[break]
  • the enemy pokemon is a GHOST type pokemon.
  • the enemy pokemon specializes in LONG RANGED attacks.
  • the enemy pokemon weak point is the CRACK in it's SHELL.
  • the enemy pokemon STOMPS before using EARTHQUAKE.
  • the enemy pokemon only attacks GROUNDED pokemon.

[break][break][break]




[attr="class","ihead"]REWARDS
[break][break]

[break][break]

rewards will come from two sources: completing the mission and surviving certain prompts. this raid will expand upon mechanics already introduced on the site. keep a calm head and have your characters come in ready to face a strong threat that requires their full attention! [break][break]

rewards will scale with the length of the raid (post-wise), how much is accomplished, and how well the participants handle the bosses as a collective group. [break][break]
