Double Kick, Rock Smash, Counter and Superpower, but the last weakens her a bit afterwards. Not pain, she just hits a bit softer.

[he glances away for a moment as he thinks.]

Though if she used Heavy Slam, that might be pretty efficient. The damage appears to be based on weight difference, and she weighs close to a metric ton. It's fucking wild. [and Fiona's a chunky lass]

[insidescoop]

Mmmmm if it's weight difference be careful on that- Mamoswine is...well.

Kinda mammoth.

[asmywitness]

[Isis looks away from Carly for a moment so her eyes can glow purple, and pulls Tyler's 'gear out of his pocket and puts it in his hand. yeah sure let's PokeGoogle that shit.]

...apparently Mamoswine only weigh about three hundred kilograms.

[insidescoop]

............................

That's bullshit.

[asmywitness]

I mean, I can pick up a Swinub, it weighs less than a dumbbell. I sure as hell couldn't pick up a Mudbray.

[He doesn't pocket his phone yet, he has to check something else. When he lets it go to sign Isis just holds it for him where he drops it, astronaut-in-space-abandoning-his-pen-to-zero-G style]

There are no other regular Pokemon that weigh more than Mudsdale, apparently, the next heaviest is something called Copperajah, then Metagross, and the difference is three and four hundred fucking kilos, respectively. The difference between them is about your weight.

[insidescoop]

You can what.

[The numbers roll over her mind, and she chokes.] It's WHAT!?

But it looks!! What!

[asmywitness]

Yeah, Swinub are like six kilograms. They're babies. Hell, I could bench a Piloswine, they're only around fifty. Mubray is over a hundred.

[He's grinning broadly despite himself. Carly's shock is great.]

Maybe Copperajah and Metagross are hollow inside, and Mudsdale is just hard-packed clay.

[insidescoop]

Why! How!

This is worse than when I was trying to figure out how much Hei-chan could tow!!

[If they remember this after the weekend ends, Tyler now has great and powerful knowledge of how to bring Carly into a drunken wail when they share drinks later.]

[asmywitness]

[Of all the bullshit he's forced to remember, he's so delighted that he gets to keep this part.]

I am so curious what a Hei-chan is now. But yeah, according to its Pokedex Mudsdale can drag upwards of ten tons without any real effort. Which I think is actually fairly in line with a real horse.

[insidescoop]

She's a gogoat! But she was able to pull around my caravan at least...

And hah! That's beyond a real horse! I mean, I guess the biggest ones could get close...but Mudsdale can do it for days!

[asmywitness]

I've been flying everywhere now, but I'm fairly certain that if I'd chosen to ride Fiona between cities then she would've been able to get some pretty good distance in a day. She's absurd - when I had her training with my Machamp and Bewear she can drag them both along.

[insidescoop]

Hoooo, is that so? I tend to use Kyosuke for flying lately...

...He's my golurk! And let that be a note for you, Golurk can fly~

[asmywitness]

[Ooh, now it's Tyler's turn to look offended.

...why?

[insidescoop]

...Why fly with Golurk, or how does it fly 'why'?

[asmywitness]

Why can it fly at all?

[insidescoop]

Because it can turn into a rocket~!

Just pulls its legs in and shoots off. It's neat...

[asmywitness]

[Tyler squints at her with open bordering exaggerated confusion.]

I don't think I like that. At least a fat horse makes sense, that's just some Power Rangers bullshit.

[insidescoop]

Psfhh! Have you seen some of the mecha things we work with? It makes total sense!

...What's that about a fat horse though?

[asmywitness]

At least with the mecha it's fucking engineered, I can see and logically understand how they're supposed to work. Pokemon make no sense.

[He grins a little.] No, I just mean at least Mudsdale seems logical, clay's heavy. Golurk doesn't, and I know its a ground type too.

[insidescoop]

I think they were engineered though? At least the pokedex entry implies it...

They're supposed to be ancient constructs, made of clay and powered with a core- that's why you're not supposed to touch the bandage looking thing on them, if the core gets let loose they lose control of the power!

...Fair point with mudsdale though, huh.
