• Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

Ask to Join The Battle Spire is active and looking for competitors! (Sign Ups/Discussion)

Apologies if there are some grammar errors, I'll put out a clearer set of the point system and other unclear rules or thing that I might have missed in here if its not too clear in the RP, or characters can ask in the RP and i'll just have the NPC clear things up in the RP

Sleep for now, got a another largish post to make for another RP tomorrow i can hopefully get done in the morning lol
 
Would the win/loss ratios stay after every season, or do they reset once the new season starts? And what would a good win/loss ratio be for my character if it does stay? Because I'm thinking she has been to Veritas a good 4 or 5 times and became a Battle Master at the 5th, and since she loves to fight and show off how brutal her Pokemon are...
 
Win/Loss are cumulative and per-season depending on what your looking for, it records both/ there are kiosks in their own rooms and spread across the island that people have access to by inserting their card into to pull up their information. A general good standing for everyone is roughly a 50% win loss ratio.

For Tier 1 Battlemasters, since they tend to be the newer ones, their ratios are closer to the participants but a bit higher around 55% and some more veteran ones pushing 60% against participants / challengers

Tier 2 are closer to 57% and more veteran ones pushing 65% against participants / challengers

Tier 3 are closer to 64% and more veteran ones pushing 67% - 70% against participants / challengers

These are all from their totals not season to season, and as Battlemasters they tend to battle a ton so moving percentages around can be tough.

Spire Masters ratios tend to be more on the extreme side of things with the weaker ones fluctuating between 75% - 80% against participants / challengers and the stronger ones at 83% - 89% against participants / challengers

Which reminds me
@Merciless Medic @soxterluna @Frontier Master you guys can decide which tier of Battlemaster you guys want to be, keep in mind the higher the tier the more tenure they have at the Spire, a new Battlemaster has to start as a Tier 1
 
Yea, Shade is more of a Tier 1, but has a 57% in win/loss ratio, due to the Ghost- and Psychic-Typed Pokemon sharing a weakness (Dark), Dark- and Psychic-Typed Pokemon sharing a weakness (Bug), and some of their weaknesses being fairly common. What also doesn't help is that their brutality can knock themselves out.
 
Shade's goal this season is to try and hit a 60% win/loss ratio. Right now, she hasn't battled anyone, so her ratio this season is null, but she would like to try and make it to 60% this season and hopefully that brings it up to 60% in total.

If I do some quick maths to even get a total of 57%, uhhh I will need a fat minute.
 
So the Island is fairly huge, not small enough for someone to walk around it in one day. The main area where the people arrived is the southern part of the island, to the west is the resort area including the beach, both of these places are connected to the city on the center of the island via roads and trails which is also where the Spire itself is. The city was designed by trainers, for trainers, and includes shops, restaurants, living spaces, shopping districts etc. The Grandmasters Battle Arena is a bit further north of the Spire and slightly off to the east.

To the east is a massive wild area that connects to a small mountain range that wraps around and takes most of the northern part of the island and a bit into the west side. the wild area includes forests, grasslands, caves, mountainous areas, mountains, snow areas if you go high enough into the mountains. There are lifts to take people there from the city
 
Does the wild area have Wild Pokemon to fight and capture?

Oh, yea, almost forgot but somehow, Shade doesn't know what a single Galar Pokemon is and will find them very interesting. She may try to offhandedly research them as she sees them. But I'll make a post where Shade is mingling with the new peeps without them knowing she's a Battle Master soon.
 
Yes the wild has many many Pokémon to battle and capture if a trainers wants, and most species that are quite rare in the native habitats are more common on the island. But due to the trainers on the island the wild Pokémon are no slouches, and many have odd friendships with others and battling multiple Pokémon at once is common as for calling for assists. They are not afraid of trainers and often times are willing to battle to assist in training or will help if asked.

@Merciless Medic that's interesting, well Ceres will be battling with her Dragapult in the opening ceremony.
 
If anyone has a character that has a Pokedex or something, can my character sit next to them during the opening ceremony so she can have a bit of an explanation as to what the different Galar Pokemon are?

I would just like to have a bit of control on what the Pokedex says, but that's all. :3 If not, then I'll just have my character figure it out by herself.

Oh so the tiers are tenure based? I assumed they were ranked by their ratios, hence I was going to place Emily Jane as high Tier 2 or low tier 3
 
@Frontier Master Its not totally tenure based, once you get hired or accepted as a Battlemaster you start at Tier 1, how fast you progress up depends on how well you do via win loss ratio in addition to other factors like helping others, providing feedback etc. What I meant was a Battlemaster is not going to join as a Tier 2 or 3, they always start at Tier 1

@EeviumZ The ship just arrived at the island, just read my latest post and you'll be pretty much up to date since you didn't really interact with anyone on the ship.
 
Nope, get creative with your moves, since these Pokémon a supposed to be very well trained they will have access to the majority of all their move-pool. Overall, stat boosting moves still work the same but certain stat lowering abilities will do nothing or have different effects such as screech, it will not lower any stats but it can disorient the opponent if used to catch something off guard or if the Pokémon is less mentally disciplined. Moves like tail whip can cause damage depending on the tail.

Get smart and creative, but don't over do it, and if you're not sure just ask, and we can figure it out. And remember combo attacks are cool and very powerful but take longer to do and/or ramp up, skilled trainers can exploit this and land devastating counter attacks during the windup/preparation if their Pokémon are quick or if performed at an inopportune time, since performing such an attack generally locks the Pokémon into using it due to the sheer amount of power and concentration required to focus said power. Use at your own risk. Battle Masters are notorious for abusing newer challengers who use big flashy moves while Spire Masters won't even give opponents the opportunity to start such an attack.

Sleep time, cya guys in a few hours.
