Lay it on us, what are your ideas for new interesting mechanics you would love to see? Here are a few
>Heat Shimmer
>Fire/Special/65b/100% acc
The user creates a shimmering haze of intense heat that surrounds the battlefield. This move hits both opponents and makes it harder to hit both the user and their allies for the next 2 turns (effective +1 Eva for that time).
>Light Arrow
>Fairy/Physical/50bp/95% acc
The user looses an arrow of pure light that pierces through the target's defenses. Ignores screens, Subs, and defense boosts to deal damage.
>Heartbreaker
>Fairy/Physical/60bp/100% acc
If the target is Infatuated this deals double damage and removes their infatuation.
>Riptide
>Water/Physical/60bp/100% acc
The user dives just below the surface to chase down the target. If the target is switching out, this deals double damage and still hits them.
>Bamboo Spear
>Grass/Physical/45bp/95% acc
Using a blade of bamboo with a sharp tip, the user stabs at the target. If the user waits two turns to use this move, its damage doubles. Damage resets if this is used on consecutive turns but does not reset it user switches out. (in other words, Turn 1 Bamboo Spear, Turn 2 SD, Turn 3 Spear again = bigger damage, rinse and repeat)
>Ill Will
>Dark/Special/65bp/100% acc
If the user was hit with a super effective attack on this turn, this move's damage increases by 1.5x and hits all opponents. If it is hit by two SE attacks on this turn, the damage is 2x and it hits all Pokémon
>Impulse
>Electric/Special/40bp/100% acc

It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |
I'd really love an Ability system. Something like pic related.
I love that idea
Great idea, though i think 4 active abilities at once would be pretty op. I think just two, maybe 3 would be fine.
Sounds like a great way to homogenize pokemon. I hate it
>Sand stream intimidate battle armor tyranitar
ebin
>water pursuit but stronger
why
Because OP is a moron and this isn't the first list of shitty ideas he's posted disguised as a thread.
Because every new mechanic has to be more powerful than the last according to zoomers who grew up in the powercreep era
No fricking kidding, the most moronic idea in this thread has to be the stacking 8 abilities one.
New types of gameplay.
Dire pokemon. Pokemon in the wild have a chance to be Dire forms. Have a much lower catch rate, unless taken to 1/4 hp. They come with a +2 def/sdef and increased hp pool.
These pokemon come with really good IV.
New exp share.
Exp share now has 3 modes. On, Off and Inverse.
Setting exp share to inverse stops all exp from being gained but you still gain iv.
Stat ups.
When you level up you gain (I don't want to do the math right now but let's say 5 points per level) You can put these points into any of your stats as IVs. To make your pokemon stronger without the annoying hyper training or breed spamming.
NEW MOVES
Pollution:
Poison type weather effect. Allows any type to be inflicted with poison any pokemon currently poisoned get upgraded to toxic. "Your pokemon's condition got worse"
And grants a damage boost to poison.
That sounds literally more annoying than what hyper training currently is and more unbalanced too since you will have perfect ivs within the first 3-4 levels of getting your starter
>Ruthless Sting
>Poison type physical move
>40 BP
The user shoots a piercing stinger at the opponent. If it would crit, the BP is doubled and the attack gains +1 priority.
>Phantom Horde
>Ghost type special move
>50 BP
The user attacks with spiritual strength stolen from its fallen foes. This move gains +50 BP for each Pokemon KO'd by the user.
>Ambush
>Dark type physical move
>120 BP
The user analyzes the environment, makes a cunning plan and then leaves to switch out. The user returns with a vengeance the next time it's switched in, attacking all enemies with a sneak attack. Would the user be forcefully switched in (ie: Dragon Tail or Roar), Ambush fails.
>Insult Upon Injury
>Dark type status move
The user mocks and insults the opposition for injuries sustained during the battle. Any opposing pokemon with 50% or less HP will flinch. Hits multiple foes. Has no effect if the target has more than 50% HP or has any of the following abilities (Soundproof, Oblivious and Unaware)
That move is literally just making stall completely unusable so you might as well delete recovery from the game
>That move is literally just making stall completely unusable so you might as well delete recovery from the game
I don't see any problem here. Stall belongs in hell.
>game has moves
>someone thinks that they should add a move that makes those other moves unusable with no drawback
>heh i am such a genius I totally fixed game freaks designs problems
Do everyone a favor and put a bullet in your heads so nobody has to read your moronic drivel anymore.
Back to Smogon with your stallb***h ass, here at /vp/ we actually like using 90% of the game's moves.
maybe use attacking moves instead of spamming recover, toxic and substitute for a change
idiot
Oh no.
Anyway
>That move is literally just making stall completely unusable
good
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T HAVE MOVES THAT STOPS RECOVERY-
This is completely different to the move that was suggested. It doesn’t invalidate recovery it simply pressures them to switch out.
Ambush and Insult upon Injury are both hilariously broken

>scold 65 BP 10pp
>30% chance to inflict confusion and burn at the same time
i know fp kind of had a similar idea i always thought it would be cool if they implemented traits alongside abilities, and whilst abilities could still be switched around with capsules traits would be inherant to each pokemon
an ability like rough skin could be turned into a trait (it would have to be toned down tho to like 1/16 damage) and that way pokemon with bad abilities could have them turned into traits (like illuminate, stench, plus, etc.)
Before you are able to take on a gym leader, you had to be their 'stand-in' against challengers, but your team had to meet certain conditions. (All monotype or have a certain type move, level ranges, etc)
Increase Heartbreaker to 70, reduce Riptide to 40
Ability that sets imprison on switch in
Ability that turns every fairy type move used by anyone into a normal type move (would be perfect for Spiritomb)
A reverse transform/impostor, that turns the opponent into yourself
>Rough Terrain
>Ground
>Scatters debris around the battlefield, any pokemon entering has their defence dropped by one stage
>Ground,Flying and rock type pokemon are immune to this effect
Basically a Defence dropping Sticky Web
Ability: Brave Boost
If the opponent as a higher BST, the user gains +1 in every stat and is immune to the effects of intimidate, if the opponent has over double the users BST, gain +2 in every stat
This ability can be taught to any pokemon via a special item except those who can use an Eviolite
bring back secret power but instead of just being based on location, make it the physical counterpart to hidden power. that and bring back shit like pursuit. the fact t-tar fell outta ou and ain't even good enough for ru is a travesty
>Overwhelm
>Whenever the opponent uses a non attacking move, gain +1 attack and +1 special attack
Give it to a few bulky mixed attackers and you have more reliable stallbreakers
That's just a weaker Work Up. At least have it increase the defenses or speed too.
here, disregard what I said, I just realized that anon probably meant it as an ability, not a move.
Yeah sorry, I meant it as an ability. So basically slap it onto something that can't be work down by toxic like Aggron and make Stall your b***h.
>This move hits both opponents and makes it harder to hit both the user and their allies for the next 2 turns (effective +1 Eva for that time).
Total smoggie death.
I wonder if they would even consider making an exception to the evasion clause if there was a major new move like this.
>Icy terrain - -1 speed for non ice types. Activates Slushrush. Frozen mons can't thaw out by itself
Block now raises users defence
Spider web now lowers target speed
Meditate harshly raises user Attack AND Sp Def
Sun weather gives +10% chance to burn to attacks and deals 1/16 damage to ice types. Some abilities prevent that.
>Black Hole
>Dark
>Status
>The user sucks up incoming special attack on a Black Hole to raise its special attack star.
Crystal Blast
The user assaults the target with a crystal beam.
90 BP
100% accuracy
May lower the target's Special Attack
Special
Not a new move, but a retooling of an old one- make Self-Destruct target one mon, and also ignore Protect. Self-Destruct with its 200 power starts to get seriously powercrept with many moves approaching that power without being suicidal, but if it can't be avoided it gains a niche. The rationale is that you approach the opponent and self-destruct right in their face, leaving no room for defense and sparing the surroundings.
Explosion remains as-is, a higher risk, higher power spread move.
Yep, pretty much that.
I always found it weird that Self-Destruct and Explosion were baisically the same move down to the distribution, with very few lines getting SD but not Explosion, and SD being strictly worse.
Imagine this thing just grabbing you and fricking exploding while you're held in point-blank range.
