new beginnings

Mount Coronet is a freeform, alternate universe Pokemon roleplaying site. Based in the Sinnoh Region, Mount Coronet is a site founded on the ideals of community, cooperative writing, and shared storytelling. At its core, Mount Coronet is all about having fun. In an effort to put fun at the forefront, Mount Coronet has a system of simple mechanics designed to govern battles in a way that prioritizes writing and fun rather than math. In fact, outside of your ability to count and perceive simple addition and subtraction, no math is needed on Mount Coronet. Instead, you can focus on writing while enjoying a system that showcases your storytelling and the growth that your characters’ and their Pokemon undergo as they progress in the world of Mount Coronet.

This guide is separated into several posts. If you need to quickly reach one section, you may return to the master post above and click the individual topics.

pokemon, levels, and tiers

pokemon, level, and tiers

On Mount Coronet, every Pokemon-- barring certain exceptions such as Legendary Pokemon or certain forms of specific Pokemon-- is available to each player. As anyone familiar with the series is likely to know, not all Pokemon are equal in strength. Pending in-game statistics, abilities, and moves, some Pokemon are unequivocally better than others. Mount Coronet, however, attempts to remedy this by not only eliminating most of the numbers that go into Pokemon, but also by organizing Pokemon into dynamic power tiers to represent their general strength. As such, Pokemon strength is derived from a combination of Tiers and Levels. Tiers can change as Pokemon evolve, level up, or tiers can temporarily change when Pokemon Mega Evolve.

The tiers are listed in ascending order and are as follows:

Basic

Great

Ultra

Mega

Legendary

As you’ll notice, there are, in total, five tiers. Each step up in tier represents an increase in power in the Pokemon. While there is no strict numbering as the site is freeform, each tier of difference represents an ever widening gap that is difficult for a Pokemon to overcome. When coupled with levels, you have a picture of the Pokemon’s power. For example, a Basic Tier Pokemon and a Great Tier Pokemon are both Level 15 and locked in combat. While the Great Tier Pokemon has the upper hand, it is not predetermined as the Level gap is non-existent. With tactics and grit, the Basic Tier Pokemon can still overcome its foe. However, a less generous example would be a Level 30 Ultra Pokemon versus a Level 15 Basic Pokemon. In this case, the Ultra Pokemon is very much the far and away winner in terms of strength, but even then, due to our freeform nature, writing might allow a Basic Pokemon to not be utterly helpless in such a scenario.

WHAT TIER IS MY POKEMON?

Given the wide variety in Pokemon in terms of strength, evolutionary stages, and so on, it might be difficult to determine what tier a Pokemon belongs to. In general, however, a Pokemon’s tier corresponds to its evolutionary stage. For example: Bulbasaur would be Basic tier, Ivysaur would be Great tier, Venusaur would be Ultra Tier, and Mega Vensaur would be Mega tier.

However, as anyone familiar with Pokemon might note, there are going to be a few outliers. For example, the Caterpie line would be able to attain the Ultra tier as early as level 10. As such, this leads to one of our first caveats regarding tier:

Pokemon can never be considered Great tier-- regardless of their evolutionary stage-- until they reach level 14.

Additionally, Pokemon can never be considered Ultra tier-- regardless of their evolutionary stage-- until they reach level 30.

Secondly, there are Pokemon that do not fit into the standard three stage evolution archetype. As such, these Pokemon have been examined on a case-by-case basis to determine their tier. In general, Pokemon with a single stage begin as Great tier, turning into Ultra tier at Level 30, though there are some exceptions. Pokemon with two stages typically begin at Basic tier, ascend to Great tier when they evolve and meet the appropriate level, and ascend to Ultra tier when they reach the appropriate level.

There are exceptions to this rule, and they are listed below. If a Pokemon you are interested in falls into this category, please consult the list below to see if they are an exception.

POKEMON LIST

Farfetch’d: Basic tier, ascending to Great tier at the outlined level.

Legendary Pokemon:

On Mount Coronet, there may be times where you are able to interact with Legendary Pokemon. While we do not currently allow trainers to catch and train Legendary Pokemon, they do have a few special rules should they appear in thread:

-All Legendary Pokemon are treated as Legendary-tier Pokemon unless otherwise stated.
-All Legendary Pokemon are treated as if they were Level 120 unless otherwise stated.
-Legendary Pokemon are immune to the negative effects of Trainer Perks and abilities like Intimidate.
-Legendary Pokemon may not be the target of the moves Transform, Mimic, Copycat or similar moves. They may not be the target of the abilities Impostor or Trace or other similar abilities.

pokemon battle guide

+

get ready to rumble

The core experience of Pokemon is battling. In the games, battles are played out with a series of complex equations deciding numbers and the like behind the scenes. On Mount Coronet, there is no such complicated math. Battles of Mount Coronet are freeform and, though they might be competitive in nature, the writing that goes into them is cooperative. Think of each battle as a shared scene you are writing with your thread partners. While your character’s objective might be winning, as a writer, you should be focused on telling a good story.

Simply put: Mount Coronet is a shared storytelling experience, not a battle simulator and we ask that you approach our site with a storyteller’s mindset. This puts a lot of power in the hands of the writers. To make the combat side of the site enjoyable for everyone, there are a few ground rules and guidelines that must be followed. Failure to do so will result in intervention from staff.

I. Staff has the final say on all OOC disputes. This is largely a last resort if members cannot come to an agreement by themselves; however, staff may also step in if they see the gross misuse or interpretation of rules, abilities, and so on. If members or staff find themselves in a dispute with a member of staff, said individual has a right to a second or third member of staff to deliberate on the matter.

II. All rules regarding metagaming, power gaming, and god modding apply in combat. Fair play is core to Mount Coronet.

III. Trainers may not use Pokemon, Trainer Perks, or Items gained after the beginning of a thread in that thread. This also applies to the levels and moves of said Pokemon.

IV. Combatants may not maim, kill, or otherwise cause excessive bodily harm to foes without the explicit permission of their partners. Even with permission given, the extent of these injuries must fall within the guidelines outlined in our rules and guide to site tone.

Furthermore, there are a few more battle guidelines:

While we have no mechanical Hit Points or Power Points on site, please mind that Pokemon do take damage and do expend physical and mental energy to perform their attacks. Failure to properly represent damage and stamina expenditure damage will result in a warning in this first instance, reward reduction in subsequent incidents, and-- in the case of an individual who can truly not be swayed otherwise-- a ban from the site.
All Pokemon may dodge, strike, and defend naturally-- for example, a Pokemon does not need to know Tackle to tackle something. However, the move Tackle is the manifestation of a Pokemon using its energy to augment its physical striking powers and, as such, is more straining than an indistinct tackle.

While there is no strict numbering as the site is freeform, each tier of difference represents an ever widening gap that is difficult for a Pokemon to overcome. When coupled with levels, you have a picture of the Pokemon’s power. For example, a Basic Tier Pokemon and a Great Tier Pokemon are both Level 15 and locked in combat. While the Great Tier Pokemon has the upper hand, it is not predetermined as the Level gap is non-existent. With tactics and grit, the Basic Tier Pokemon can still overcome its foe. However, a less generous example would be a Level 30 Ultra Pokemon versus a Level 15 Basic Pokemon. In this case, the Ultra Pokemon is very much the far and away winner in terms of strength, but even then, due to our freeform nature, writing might allow a Basic Pokemon to not be utterly helpless in such a scenario.

In terms of damage, moves are generally in line with their canon counterparts. On Mount Coronet, moves are separated into tiers. While there is no strict health system, staff asks that you be a reasonable individual and mind the differences in levels and tiers. Generally, two wounds of a lower tier will equal a higher oneThe aforementioned tiers are as follows:

Negligible
Miniscule
Weak
Moderate
Major
Colossal
Catastrophic
Legendary

As a note, a move’s tier can change based on type effectiveness. If a Pokemon is weak to a move, the tier of the move goes up one for the sole purpose of damage dealt to that Pokemon. If a Pokemon has a double weakness, that goes up two tiers. Similarly, resistance bumps the tier of a move down. A double resistance bumps the tier down by two.
All cooldowns on critical hits, status effects, Trainer Perks, and anything that mentions a cooldown begin on the turn after the end of the turn during which the ability was used.
While there is no hard limit on actions per turn, we ask that you be reasonable. For example, a Pokemon using Agility to boost their ability to close the distance or avoid attacks and then using Ember to counter-attack in one would be perfectly fine. On the other hand, a Pokemon using a Fire Blast to disarm an opposing Hyper Beam then immediately following up with a Thunder and a Hydro Pump in near-unison would not be feasible.
Items can be used as desired, provided there are no circumstances keeping you from being able to apply items to your Pokemon. Held items can be used freely, so long as the Pokemon has the item and is under no effects that keep them from using the items. Remember to be reasonable when determining your ability to use items and how it affects the flow of your post-- they are like moves in that each one adds complexity and time to a post.

What moves are available on Mount Coronet?

Simply put, almost every move is available on Mount Coronet.
However, transcribing every move to the site would take an inordinate amount of effort. As such, the guidelines below are used for members to translate moves for use on site. As such, when battling, please remember to denote things like damage tier in OOC notes, especially the first time you are using a move in that particular thread. In-case of disputes, please contact a member of staff. In the case of consistent problem moves, they will be added to Move Directory below, which will function as a FAQ for certain moves.

Please note that all Pokemon may only known four moves at a time, unless some condition such as possible move set expansion items being offered at a later date.

Translating a move for use on Mount Coronet:
Power determines a move’s tier on site.
Moves with Power from 1 to 19 are considered Minuscule.
Moves with Power from 20-49 are considered Weak.
Moves with Power from 50-80 Power are considered Moderate.
Moves with Power from 81-100 are considered Major.
Moves with Power from 101+ are considered Colossal.

In the case of special effects, like stat buffs or status effects, the method to determine when you are allowed to trigger an added effect is determined by chance of activation.
If a move has a 10% chance to trigger an additional effect, you are allowed to trigger it once every six turns.
If a move has a 20% chance to trigger an additional effect, you are allowed to trigger it once every five turns.
If a move has a 30% chance to trigger an additional effect, you are allowed to trigger it once every four turns.
If a move has a 50% chance to trigger an additional effect, you are allowed to trigger it once every three turns.
If a move has a one hundred percent chance to trigger an additional effect, you may trigger it every turn, unless otherwise noted.
You must trigger negative effects for oneself, such as debuffs brought on by using a move.

Status Buffs and Debuff moves.

A status buff or debuff is made into Minor or Major one on site based on its wording. A move that is described as sharply or drastically improving or lowering a stat translates to a Major buff or debuff on site. All other wordings are assumed to impart a Minor buff or debuff. Please note, a move that buffs or debuffs multiple stats can only ever impart Minor buffs to a Pokemon.

Stat Buffs and Debuffs:

Buffs and debuffs raise and lower the attributes of a Pokemon respectively. These boosts and maluses can be applied via moves, trainer perks, and abilities. Buffs and debuffs last three turns unless specified otherwise.
Buffs and debuffs come in two varieties: Minor and Major. A minor buff/debuff results in minor alterations to a Pokemon’s attributes, minorly affecting their abilities. Mechanically, this translates to the Pokemon treating its ability in that parameter as being three levels higher. A Major buff/debuff results in large scale alterations to a Pokemon’s attributes, greatly affecting their combat abilities. Mechanically, this translates to the Pokemon treating its ability in that parameter as being five levels higher.

Status Effects:
Status Effects are long term debuffs that-- typically-- negatively impact a Pokemon for a long duration of time. They may be applied with moves or abilities and last until cured or the stated duration runs out. The description of each status effect can be read below.

Bound: Deals Minuscule damage each turn and reduces the agility of a Pokemon. Lasts two turns.
Burn: Deals Minuscule Damage each turn and reduces the power of physical moves by one tier. Lasts indefinitely.
Confusion: Greatly debilitates a Pokemon’s movement and coordination. This status affliction lasts for two turns.
Curse: Deal Minor Damage each turn. Lasts indefinitely or until a Pokemon is switched out.
Flinch: The Pokemon is prevented from using moves for a turn. A Pokemon may not Flinch in consecutive turns.
Freeze: Completely prevents a Pokemon from using moves or moving at all. This lasts for one turn. A Pokemon may use certain moves to immediately free themselves. These moves will also continue as a normal attack. These moves are as follows: Flame Wheel, Flare Blitz, Scald, Burn Up, Pyro Ball, and Scorching Sands.
Infatuated: A Pokemon is prevented from using moves that deal direct damage to the foe it is infatuated with. This lasts indefinitely or until a Pokemon is switched out.
Paralysis: A Pokemon’s agility is reduced and they are prevented from using any moves every other turn. Lasts indefinitely.
Poison: Deals Miniscule Damage each turn. Lasts indefinitely.
Sleep: The Pokemon is unable to act at all. Lasts two turns or until damage is recieved.
Toxic: Deals Miniscule Damage the first turn, Minor Damage the second turn, and Moderate Damage every turn after. This lasts indefinitely.

Priority:

Due to the freeform nature of Mount Coronet, priority moves are simply treated as moves that happen extremely quickly and are extremely difficult to dodge, block, or stop. However, repeated, consecutive use of a priority attack in a single battle may cause a foe to begin to anticipate such attacks, granting them the insight to deal with them more effectively.

Weather and Terrain:

During a battle, Pokemon may be affected by unusual weather or terrain. There are a variety of effects and each one has a unique impact on the unfolding battle. Please note that Pokemon are only affected by weather brought about by Pokemon moves, abilities, and other similar mechanical causes. All weather and terrain effects last three turns unless otherwise stated.
The weather and terrain conditions and their corresponding effects are listed below:
Rain: Water-type moves go up a tier in damage. Fire-type moves go down a tier in damage.
Harsh Sunlight: Fire-type moves go up a tier in damage. Water-type moves go down a tier in damage. Solar Beam and Solar Blade do not have to charge.
Sandstorm: Pokemon who are not at least partially Rock, Ground, or Steel-type take Miniscule damage each turn. Rock-type Pokemon receive a passive Minor buff to Special Defense.
Hail: Any Pokemon who is not Ice-type receives Miniscule damage each turn.
Electric Terrain: Electric-type attacks go up a tier in power. Pokemon may not be afflicted with sleep.
Grassy Terrain: Grass-type moves go up a tier in power. Each Pokemon heals a Miniscule amount each turn.
Misty Terrain: Dragon-type moves go down a tier in power. Pokemon may not become afflicted with status conditions, except for Bound.
Psychic Terrain: Psychic-type moves go up a tier in power. All Pokemon become immune to moves with priority.

Healing Moves:

Healing moves heal a Wound amount that is derived from their healing value. Moves that heal 1/16th heal a Minuscule amount, 1/8th heals Weak, 1/3rd and 1/4th heals Moderate, 1/2th heals Major, and a 100% heal would heal a Colossal amount.

Mega Evolution:
Once per battle, you may Mega Evolve if you possess an item allowing you to Mega Evolve and an appropriate Mega Stone. Only one Pokemon may Mega Evolve on your team per battle, even if you possess multiple Mega Stones.
When a Pokemon Mega Evolves, it immediately jumps to Mega Tier, regardless of its previous tier. This lasts until a Pokemon comes out of their Mega Evolution, be it due to free will or by force, such as being knocked out.
Any abilities changed by Mega Evolution are immediately applied.
Mega Evolution is physically taxing on both the trainer and the Pokemon due to the expenditure of energy and intense connection between the two.

items and you

+

check your inventory

As mentioned in the Pokemon Battle Guide, you may use certain items in thread. Medicinal Items such as berries and the like are assumed to be limited use items unless otherwise stated or modified by a Trainer Perk. Held Items are assumed to be unlimited use, unless otherwise stated.

Some things to note: like all things on Mount Coronet, items are meant to be conducive to story telling, not in opposition to it. Please make sure you are being sensible when you use an item. For example, if your Pidgeot is being constrained 50 feet up in the air, it might not be sensible to use a Potion on it.

If you lose a Held Item via Knock-Off or a similar scenario, you regain it at the end of the thread.

Items may not be freely exchanged between users. You may use a Potion on an ally's Pokemon or you might even give it to them in-character, but mechanically, that item stays with you and you alone.

Please note, you are responsible for tracking the usage of all items in your possession. Mount Coronet understands that mistakes happen, but users suspected of dishonesty will be discipline after ample warning is given.

miscellaneous notes and rulings

+

for everything else

Characters may trade Pokemon in-character. Please note, these will not trigger trade based evolutions inherently. And, like all things on Mount Coronet, in-character trades must be rooted in story. For example, if two long time rivals choose to trade Pokemon as a sign of respect and camaraderie, that would be appropriate. On the other hand, an older, established player seeking to infuse a newer character with high level Pokemon or dump things on to an alternate character would not be allowed to do so. All trades must be approved by staff.
