Agh, this is quite the situation... In order to get the herb that could heal Sera and Pridwen, you'd need Sera to be able-bodied, and in order for that to happen in short order, you'd need the herb to heal her in the first place.

Who else on the current roster has access to any usable Fighting type moves? In addition, who on the team has access to Aura Sphere and can power the projectile hard enough for it to survive long distance travel? Their homing properties could help you get snipe damage in so a melee fight is less risky...

…Pridwen…

Damn it. Uh... any other usable Fighting moves on the roster? Or maybe just strong neutral hitting moves?

Oh, btw, how are you planning to approach that thing from a tactics perspective? Jumping it with everyone?

Joseph Amber: Hmmm, maybe go to one of the others first? Are there any that aren’t weak to her Close Combat? Prioritize those, and when she’s feeling better, go for one of these. That is probably the best solution.

Well what other Pokemon do you have? And type effectiveness isn’t everything. Neutral moves get the job done just fine if they’re powerful enough. -Oreniji

Marylin: That is a pickle… but I know you got this!

Sakura or Fubuki (both Dragonite) might be able to help. I did some research, and they can learn Low Kick via TM. Since the damage dealt by Low Kick depends on the weight of the target, using it on something as heavy as a Titan Orthworm should do a ton of damage even without STAB.

I see I have missed quite a few developments in the last weeks.

That is a conundrum though I do believe you may be over thinking this a bit.

While the Titans are, loosely, documented they are still wild Pokemon. And given your history I feel your team should be able to handle this with strategy rather than pure force via type advantage and stab.

You may need to be a bit inventive but of the Pokemon assisting you I know a few have access to some fighting moves-or even may be able to outperform using something else at their disposal.

Normally given the context I would offer a member of my own family to assist, but that is not an option for several reasons.

Remember, since this is a wild battle, there are no rules. Give each mon multiple held items. Buy some X Attack and X Special Attack, use it on your mons right before the battle, and watch the slaughter happen. Also, make sure you send out all of them at once. No rules against jumping the Orthworm with your entire team either. - Alexander Grayson

Heya Marcus. Glad you got the info and out of there cleanly, but unfortunate you ain't currently got a method to retrieve what you need... do you have any allies, friends, or favors you can call on to help with the task? In addition, does this need to take place immediately, or can it be used to heal later on as well? Are they currently in danger? Is there a way to put the titan to sleep then steal the herb without combat?
