Fire Type Emblem: Chapter 3B - Monkey business [Victory!]

Ohhhhh, got it. Somehow I totally glossed over the fishing rod part. I think I'll wait and see which plan other people think is better before making a final decision for whether to target Dartrix (Plan A) or Gothorita (Plan B), but I feel like I'm most likely to go with Dartrix and Dewott.

Of the two plans I've posted, I would put my support behind Plan A. Regardless of what plan we ultimately decide to go with, I'll be moving to Alex's spot and using my last use of Fire Spin on Nidorino. This will cover me from Aipom's Swift(since Nidorino is my shield if my Attack succeeds) and keeps Nidorino in place rather than going after Waterproof or Mercy with Poison. Then we can finish Nidorino off a few turns later and save Robin's last use of Psyshock for Seviper. Odds of Mercy dealing the KO blow are quite high in my book. The only concern I have is whether Waterproof can deal 40 damage with Ember on Pinsir, If he can, then this round should go ok. If not, Alex will likely want to finish Pinsir off with Bite since I doubt he wants to get hit by an X-Scissor Attack. If that turns out to be the case, Waterproof will be vulnerable to Gothirita's Psybeam and unfortunately there's not much I or anyone can do about it. Pretty much Plan A rides on two outcomes. Freesia pulling Dewott out from the water and Robin and Waterproof combining for 65+ damage. Can also say my move is important as well since it keeps Nidorino from doing x2 against Mercy next round(Double Team or no Double Team). Granted, that is if Mercy can deal 42 damage with a Ghost move. Looking back on this plan, kind of rolling the dice on several moves for the desired outcome this round.

Looks like Code is in his element fending off this constant slew of enemies. xD Good luck everyone!

Heh... to be honest, I was half expecting to get that many after Glacier joined us in Round 4. Only seems fair as I see it since with Glacier's arrival, it made Round 4 relatively uneventful(I was the only character to take damage in Enemy Phase).

Looking back on the battle so far, here's what we've defeated:
Alolan Rattata x 3
Snubbull x 2
Crabrawler
Venonat
Ferroseed
Trapinch <- has only Enemy KO(Meta)
Remoraid
Luvdisc
Tyrunt
Houndour
Mr.Mime(Female no less, hence Mrs.Mime)*Provided we KO it this upcoming round*
Jangmo-o
Sandile

Not counting Mr.Mime, that's a total of 15 to a loss of just 1 in Meta. If Round 5 goes according to plan, our KO count ought to rise to 18 with Mr.Mime, Pinsir and Dewott being added to the list. I just hope that we don't lose anyone in Enemy Phase. Provided we don't get any more enemy reinforcements, our total Enemy tally, barring a retreat by the enemy, would stand at 25(including the boss). Considering this is our third battle, I expect the number of foes to increase even higher. Depends on just how desperate they are to reinforce up the Mountain.

Mercy will move to J6 and use Shadow Sneak on Mrs. Mime ~

Abilities are fun. ;-)

Mrs.Mime fainted yet has 4 HP left? Something tells me that an edit is in order. Granted, she will fall from Fire Spin but not before getting another attack off. Might as well execute the rest of the Plan A moves, which were the following:

Sorry for my absence, everyone! :(

I'm here to confirm that I'm indeed on board with CodeHelmet's plan! Let's have the almighty fishing rod work its magic once again and reel Dewott to L14! This should be fun. ;D

YAAAY :D

Lily: Bulbasaur managed to fish up a blue otter of some sort. He looks angry at our team so I best defeat him.

Lily moves to J14 and uses Magical Leaf on Enemy Dewott

Looking at the map, I'm likely going to fall in Enemy Phase. At least I took Mr.Mime down with me, although Lycan can opt to do something else. In the spirit of moving things along, I'll make moves for those who've yet to post:

Unicorn sprints to L15 <- thought about using Quick Attack but Magical Leaf ought to do the job and if not Susato can finish it. Action replenishes 9 HP I believe(8 at minimum).
Robin moves to H10; Uses Psywave on Pinsir <- If I fall, Robin will be only one that can get Sitrus Berries in upper right. To ensure his longevity, it'd be best to target enemies that have a type advantage and Pinsir is one of them. Move deals 25 damage, dropping it to 40 HP
Waterproof moves to D10; Uses Ember on Pinsir <- Rolling the dice on dealing 40 damage but he has a stronger SpA than I do and has the benefit of being x2. Hoping for 40 damage to finish it off.
Alex moves to D11; Feeds Sitrus Berry to Waterproof. If Pinsir is still alive, move to C10 and use Bite to finish it off. <- Default Move gives Waterproof cover from Gothorita while also restoring 18 HP. If Pinsir survives Waterproof's assault, then finishing it off is the priority lest we allow it to use X-Scissor on Alex.
Susato moves to L13; Use Secret Power on Dewott if alive. If KO'd, move to L14 and feed Sitrus Berry to Unicorn <- Default Move finishes Dewott off and in best case scenario replenishes ~18 HP for Unicorn.

If everything goes swell, Pinsir and Dewott fall without Alex or Susato making attacks, allowing them to use their Sitrus Berries to heal Waterproof and Unicorn respectively. I'll likely fall in Enemy Phase but my Fire Spin will be taking Mr.Mime down with me. If that happens, I'll be giving tactical advice but you'll have to do the heavy lifting without me and Robin will have to fall back and grab Berries if more enemies join in. Either that or consider using the revival herb to bring either myself or Meta back. Not advocating such a course of action unless it's absolutely necessary.

PS: Ace Attorney is still a bad influence ;)

Objecting doesn't change the inconvenient truth, nor is it a stellar argument to prove me wrong now isn't it? Joking aside, I figure its time I meet my fate in Enemy Phase and to learn the outcome of our efforts in Round 5.

I was hoping to get more actions in, but I guess this will have to do. And boom, two more enemies down!
