>>21040763"Hexcalibur, don't attack just yet! Go for a King's Shield!"
"Indeed!" exclaims the legendary sword, "I cannot help but agree with you in spite of your incompetence! A King's Shield shall do us nicely in baiting this impure maiden of whatever moves she has in stock, and downing their power!"
Hexcalibur keeps himself in Shield Forme, then uses King's Shield, all in an attempt to bait Roserade into attacking. If the battle starts with lowered stats, not only will she have shitty ineffective moves to work with, but hardly any power to utilize them. You're pretty sure that Tierno wouldn't even consider switching out either.
"COME HITHER, FEMININE FOOL! Thrust those thorns, cut me with your most furious Fury Cutter, I want you to FEEL the consequences of your utter FOOLishne--"
>Hexcalibur used King's Shield!>But it failed?!"Huh?" Hexcalibur blinks.
>Roserade used Growth!>Roserade's Atk and Sp. Atk rose sharply!"AWESOME Roserade, doing nothing helped for once! TOTAL COOL BEANS! Now I want you to shake it while spamming
Weather Ball to the max, YEAH!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNJ1B_2b17sHexcalibur's eye widens. He immediately flies to the defensive and goes straight to taunting your strategic thinking, "USE KING'S SHIELD, THE HERO SAYS, WE SHALL BAIT HER INTO AN ATTACK DROP, HE SAYS! FOOL!"
To be fair, you're alright with taking the blame on that, but Hex has to undertake some of it too, "But you were agreeing with me like, ten seconds ago.."
"Stop hypnotizing me with FOOLish ideas!"
"Rooooosee..."
The bickering between the two of you leaves Hexcalibur with little time to move out of the way, Roserade forges a fiery red Weather Ball from her bouquet, unleashing it with polite eloquence.
>Tricked by Tierno! He's more than meets the eye!A) Use Power Trick!
B) Use Substitute!
C) Use King's Shield once more!
D) Use Swords Dance! [Transform.]
