OVERVIEW
Pokemon battles are a staple of the Pokemon series, and they will be a frequent occurrence on Stellara. While many of us are familiar with the Pokemon games, our goal is to not have battling turn into a glorified Pokemon game simulator. Instead, we want to encourage creativity, flexibility and overall have Pokemon battles be as engaging and epic as possible.
BATTLE RULES
Whenever a battle happens, be sure to adhere to all of the rules listed in this section and in this guide in total. Be honorable and fair; winning is not everything. We do not tolerate cheaters or people who constantly cause problems for members and the site. If you do not respect these rules, you will be punished. End of story.
- While we do have rules in place, our battles are freeform. You can attack, defend and dodge creatively. You do not have to always use a move to attack. For example, your Pokemon can scratch, tackle and bite even if it does not know the moves Scratch, Tackle and Bite. Be as innovative as you want so long as it is logical and reasonable.
- There is no move limit per turn. However, be aware that the more moves you do per turn, the more energy it takes to do so. That said, don’t expect to be able to have your Pokemon do five moves in one turn.
- Absolutely no damage calculators allowed. This is not the video games; you aren’t going to be one-shotting something with a super effective move unless it is something ridiculous like a level 5 against a level 50.
- There is no dodge/block limit, but be fair with the amount of times that you dodge or block. If it is starting to get to the point where you are dodging and blocking nearly every single attack, staff will step in and punish you.
- Items can be used in League matches (Gym Leader/Elite Four) if permitted. Items are able to be used in battles outside of the League too; however, do realize that this can put the trainer in direct danger of being attacked by the opponent’s Pokemon or even the opponent trainer. Plus, healing items such as Potions do not heal injuries instantly. It takes two turns for a treated injury to heal; even then, for wounds to heal fully, more advanced medical treatment will be needed such as treatment at a Pokemon Center.
STATUS EFFECTS
Status effects last for three turns unless said otherwise. If a move has a status effect attached to it, you can declare that if the attack hits, it will inflict the status effect. How often you can do this depends on the move’s status effect percentage. For example, if a move inflicts a status effect at a 10% chance, you can have it inflict the status effect once every ten turns. The rest of the percentages are listed below:
10% - Once every ten turns
20% - Once every eight turns
30% - Once every seven turns
40% - Once every six turns
50% - Once every five turns
100% - No limit
Burn - Deals a minor amount of damage per turn and lowers the damage of all physical moves used by one damage tier.
Freeze - Renders a Pokemon completely immobile and surrounds them in a block of ice. It is possible to break out of the ice, but it requires a powerful move or multiple hits to do so.
Paralysis - Slows down a Pokemon’s speed and reflexes. Also, it will prevent a Pokemon from attacking every other turn.
Poison - Deals a minor amount of damage per turn. If badly poisoned, deals a moderate amount of damage per turn.
Sleep - Causes a Pokemon to fall asleep and be unable to act. The Pokemon wakes up if it takes damage or after three turns.
Confusion - Makes a Pokemon act wildly and without reason; this also transfers to how the Pokemon uses its moves. When the Pokemon takes damage, it snaps out of its confusion.
Infatuated - Makes a Pokemon unable to attack the Pokemon it is infatuated with every other turn. If the Pokemon is hit, then it will snap out of its charmed state.
Flinch - Prevents a Pokemon from attacking or using any moves for one turn. The Pokemon can still move around and act defensively so long as it is not attached to a move.
ABILITIES
Abilities are used on Stellara. However, not every ability transfers perfectly from a video game setting to a RP one.
