Thread: New Moves/Abilities

As an ability the pokemon would be sent out twice when it is sent into a double or triple battle. It could possibly cut the HP in half to make the ability not so crazy.

So, it's like Shadowclone Jitsu?

And the only way Arceus can legally have Shadow Force is through a distribution that ended over a year ago, which means that if you missed that event, there is only ONE pokemon in the entire game that can learn this move.

I would love to see a grass version of Water Spout/Eruption. I even made up one.

Pollen Bomb
Type: Grass
Power: Varies
Accuracy: 100%

The foe summons the pollen in the air and makes it swirl into a big ball so that it can be slammed on the foe.

I am interested to see what kind of boosting moves they introduce this time. Gen V was infamous for introducing two of the most lucrative boosting moves ever, Shell Smash and Quiver Dance, along with a number of moves that boost accuracy.

Perhaps we'll see a kind of anti-Shell smash move that boosts both defenses two stages and lowers offences by one stage. I imagine it would be some kind of move where the Pokemon covers itself in some kind of protective sheath that makes it difficult to retaliate, like a cocoon.

I'd like to see a boosting move designed to help a certain group of Pokemon the way Quiver Dance helped a lot of mediocre Bug types. A move that involves stimulating muscles with electricity to boost Attack and Speed would help the struggling physical Electric types.

I forgot to mention that a non-damaging freezing move should have an accuracy less than 75%.

We already have that...Double Team is known as Kage Bushin in Japan

well, at least THOSE clones don't get to attack. :)

For people who want a dark attack over 100, I had made up an attack called Flash Void. It flashes negative energy to stun or something like that. So the animation would probably be a flash followed by inverting the colors temporarily.

I agree. What would a good name be, though? I was thinking Freeze, but it might be a bit too simple or something, haha.

Flash Freeze.

Not so much a "new move", but I'd love to see a slight change to Return's animation.

Now, I may be misremembering, but the animation for Return used change depending on how much the Pokémon using it liked you. Hearts would appear as part of the attack, and the more hearts there were, the higher the 'mon's happiness. I have an awful memory, but I swear that I used to use this in order to gauge how close I was to a friendship evolution in one of the older games. If XY can bring something like that back, I'd be one happy camper.

As far as actual new moves go, I'd love to see more signature moves - both for legendaries and non-legendaries! I really like the idea that there's a special move just for a certain Pokémon, and I'd love to see more of those.

Here are some ideas:

Alterations of Venoshock:
Freezing: Frostbite
Burning: Third-Degree
Paralysis: Nerve Shock

Alterations of Jump Kick and Hi Jump Kick:
Steel: Weight Smash and Anvil Smash
Rock: Rockfall and Landslide
Dragon: Battering Ram and Force Ram

I approve of anything that's called Frostbite, cause I somehow happen to really like that word. I hardly use Ice-types at all, but I swear I'll catch an Ice-type Pokemon that learns it just so I can use it. I like the sound of Nerve Shock, too.

I want them to introduce a damaging move based on ash that rains down after a volcanic eruption. I think Rock-type would be the best fit, but I guess Fire-type could work too.

Flick - Knocks entry hazards to opponents side of field -1 priority
Bush fire - Sets fire to field, causes 25% hp damage to both pokemon every turn (lasts 5 turns), ends in rain/hail, indefinite in sandstorm/drought. Damage adjusted based on type weakness.

Stealth Rocks is set up as "layers", each of which expire after a hit.

There, I just rebalanced the entire game forever.


Also some cool >=30% freeze damaging Ice move that only a few Ice types get. Like 60-70 BP 100% acc. Thanks to STAB it very well outclasses your typical coverage Ice Beam in usefulness, ths making Ice Pokémon a more attractive option than just something with IB.

How about, after an attempt to hit evasion goes down if it's been increased? Or, if a hit gets in, evasion is reset - if it's been increased.
