Sticky Web works and it's not a direct move by the opponent. Weak Armor + Defiant also worked in Enchanted Items
i hate gamefreak
I hate it too for giving a bullshit ability to ma boi regigigas.
We'll just have to wait and see when they're coded because nothing is consistent.
Sure. Subs are open.
New thing, you can submit 3 pokemon per slate to have a small type change for flavour/competitiveness
(Pretty sure this'll be fine with rev)

Just to be clear, the only thing we can change are typing? We can't add existing attacks, change stats or something like that, right?

since there's no template I'm doing it like this:
Cresselia: Psychic -> Psychic/Fairy
It's the lunar pokemon and moon-based moves are Fairy-type. Competitively, it gets a much, much better defensive typing to go with its incredible bulk.
Samurott: Water -> Water/Fighting
Because it just works.

I think that a Fighting type would make better sense .
i was going to do that but then the fact that it could have STAB Knight's Blade boosted Sacred Sword but doesn't really annoys me.
Name: Acid Melt
Existing Move?: N
Category: Special
Damage: 70
Accuracy: 100
Type: Poison
Effect: Super Effective vs. Steel, 10% chance to burn target.
Niche: Steel types are a menace! Fairy/Steel types are hell on earth! Acid Melt solves both problems to a degree. I coulda gone full on Acid Rain weather from a certain other meta (or added Water SE as well), but that's a bit extreme.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: Mostly poison types, even though a good number of them are Phys Attackers and aren't very acidic. Some dragons could spit acid I guess, especially Goodra could use a niche. It could find a nice home on the Nidos for sure as well as acid based mons like Victrebel, Swalot, and the like. Dragalge with this move has irresistible STAB coverage, so 'coverage' becomes a lot freer to choose.
Name: Forest Fire
Existing Move?: No
Category: Special
Type: Fire
PP: 15 (24 max)
Effect: 10% burn chance. When used by grass types, does 50% more damage.
Base Power: 80
Accuracy: 100
Priority: 0
Niche: A solid coverage move for grass types, especially Chloro grasses.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: Mainly grass types I guess. Probably some non-grassers?
Name: Bubble Beam
Existing Move?: Yes
Category: Special
Type: Water
PP: 10 (16 max)
Effect: Strikes as Water and Electric simultaneously. 10% Chance to lower target foe Speed. (Ground's immunity is ignored)
Base Power: 100
Accuracy: 95
Niche: Bubble Beam was once almost useful. Then Gen2 happened and it never recovered its TM status.
As is, it would strike as follows:
2x: Flying, Rock, Fire
.5x: Electric
.25x: Grass, Dragon
0x: Ground
So it's almost damn good coverage by itself. Super effective against 4 types, and taking away the need for Ice Beam (or HP Ice) for dealing with Lando and other Ground/Flying. It also covers Skarm, Aero, and birds and grounds in general. Problem is, it's a free switch for any grass or dragon type at auto 4x resist.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: Has a fairly wide distribution as is. Many waters will need to make a choice between this and Scald. Sheer Forcers will enjoy the speed drop chance.
Name: Seed Bomb
Existing Move?: Yes
Category: Physical
Type: Grass
PP: 20 (32 max)
Effect: 30% chance to inflict Leech Seed on the enemy Pokemon
Base Power: 80
Accuracy: 100
Niche: Leech Seeds! C'mon, not enough Leech Seeds out there! A good smack against Chancey is a very tasty reward, and most likely, a free turn with her switching out.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: Has a fairly wide distribution as is. As coverage, it's a lot better than it used to be, as Leech Seeds can rarely serve you wrong, since it's not a status effect (thus triggering guts or preventing sleep or burn), makes no contact, and Liquid Ooze is really rare. All in all, the main point is to give Seed Bomb a fighting chance against the stronger (and Crit boosted) Leaf Blade.
Name: Crusader
Existing Ability?: No
Effect: Deals 33% more damage to ghost, fairy, dark and dragon types. Not cumulative for dual types.
Niche: Powerful evil monsters giving you trouble? Smite them hard!
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Probably mons with Justified, but a boost to Keldeo is a bad idea always. The other Musketeers aren't high ranking OU any more. Maybe Gallade? Arcanine? Trying to think it needs mons who don't have Justified. Some less than gallant mons could benefit too that don't have great sets of abilities. Maybe some dark types for irony like Pangoro... ? Or Fighters... maybe?
Name: Scarecrow
Existing Ability?: N
Effect: When struck by flying moves, the user takes no damage and reduces the enemy Pokemon's attack corresponding to the attack type (ie. Brave Bird reduces Physical, HP flying or Hurricane reduces Special)
Niche: Screw birds! In all honesty, this pairs decently with Grass types to resist ground/Flying combos. Vespiqueen also resists Flying/Fight as can Gourgeist with this ability.
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Cacnea, Cacturne, Gourgeist, Marowak, Nuzleaf, Shiftry, Vespiqueen
Name: Spirit Catcher
Existing Ability?: N
Effect: Traps Ghost and Fairy Pokemon unless they also have a trapping ability to negate.
Niche: Fairy and Ghost types are pretty scary. Trap em and destroy them!
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Spiritomb, Cofagrius, Lampent Line, Victreebel (swallows spirits?) TBH, I'm not too sure here, but ghost and fairy could be reigned in a little bit.
Name: Make a Wish
Existing Ability?: N
Effect: When brought in, this Pokemon sets up a Wish.
Niche: Healthy lugs that don't get much use can gain a supportive niche. Even less healthy Pokemon can gain a supportive niche in a game that leaves them behind at times.
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Wailmer/lord, Jirachi, Lanturn, Tornadus/Thundurus Incarnate (they're djinn, or genies after all), Togekiss, Wigglytuff, Delphox
Name: Fireplace
Existing Item?: N
Effect: It's Black Sludge for Fire types. Steel types with the item take extra damage.
Removable via Knock Off?: Y
Ignored by Klutz?: N
Niche: Sometimes your fire type deserve a more stylish way to heal. The added damage to steel types means doing things like Trick could be quite nasty. Not that steel types want to stay in on Fire types unless they're Heatran, who's fire already. Could be useful on Rotom-H or Chandelure.
Fling Power: 30
Name: Electrizer/Magmizer
Existing Item?: Y
Effect: When held by Electric/Fire types, speed increases one stage. When used by another type, speed drops. When held by anyone, the user cannot use the same move 2 times in a row.
Removable via Knock Off?: Y
Ignored by Klutz?: N
Niche: Acting like a Choice Scarf that trades permanent Encore for Torment, the -Izers will certainly see use on electric and Fire types that need a little oomph, but can likely be played around as the speed boost is announced at the start of the turn. In other words, protect users by themselves an extra turn when say, your fire type needed to use his coverage move to hit yours hard and now can't use it.
Fling Power: 80

Furret: Normal/Ghost - Sneaky ferrets, almost raccoon-like, they sneak about. Even with an amazing type, it'll still languish 3 tiers below PU.

Potential Pokemon With This Move: Mainly grass types I guess. Probably some non-grassers?
Name: Bubble Beam
Existing Move?: Yes
Category: Special
Type: Water
PP: 10 (16 max)
Effect: Strikes as Water and Electric simultaneously. 10% Chance to lower target foe Speed. (Ground's immunity is ignored)
Base Power: 100
Accuracy: 95
Niche: Bubble Beam was once almost useful. Then Gen2 happened and it never recovered its TM status.
As is, it would strike as follows:
2x: Flying, Rock, Fire
.5x: Electric
.25x: Grass, Dragon
0x: Ground
So it's almost damn good coverage by itself. Super effective against 4 types, and taking away the need for Ice Beam (or HP Ice) for dealing with Lando and other Ground/Flying. It also covers Skarm, Aero, and birds and grounds in general. Problem is, it's a free switch for any grass or dragon type at auto 4x resist.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: Has a fairly wide distribution as is. Many waters will need to make a choice between this and Scald. Sheer Forcers will enjoy the speed drop chance.
Name: Seed Bomb
Existing Move?: Yes
Category: Physical
Type: Grass
PP: 20 (32 max)
Effect: 30% chance to inflict Leech Seed on the enemy Pokemon
Base Power: 80
Accuracy: 100
Niche: Leech Seeds! C'mon, not enough Leech Seeds out there! A good smack against Chancey is a very tasty reward, and most likely, a free turn with her switching out.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: Has a fairly wide distribution as is. As coverage, it's a lot better than it used to be, as Leech Seeds can rarely serve you wrong, since it's not a status effect (thus triggering guts or preventing sleep or burn), makes no contact, and Liquid Ooze is really rare. All in all, the main point is to give Seed Bomb a fighting chance against the stronger (and Crit boosted) Leaf Blade.
Name: Crusader
Existing Ability?: No
Effect: Deals 33% more damage to ghost, fairy, dark and dragon types. Not cumulative for dual types.
Niche: Powerful evil monsters giving you trouble? Smite them hard!
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Probably mons with Justified, but a boost to Keldeo is a bad idea always. The other Musketeers aren't high ranking OU any more. Maybe Gallade? Arcanine? Trying to think it needs mons who don't have Justified. Some less than gallant mons could benefit too that don't have great sets of abilities. Maybe some dark types for irony like Pangoro... ? Or Fighters... maybe?
Name: Scarecrow
Existing Ability?: N
Effect: When struck by flying moves, the user takes no damage and reduces the enemy Pokemon's attack corresponding to the attack type (ie. Brave Bird reduces Physical, HP flying or Hurricane reduces Special)
Niche: Screw birds! In all honesty, this pairs decently with Grass types to resist ground/Flying combos. Vespiqueen also resists Flying/Fight as can Gourgeist with this ability.
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Cacnea, Cacturne, Gourgeist, Marowak, Nuzleaf, Shiftry, Vespiqueen
Name: Spirit Catcher
Existing Ability?: N
Effect: Traps Ghost and Fairy Pokemon unless they also have a trapping ability to negate.
Niche: Fairy and Ghost types are pretty scary. Trap em and destroy them!
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Spiritomb, Cofagrius, Lampent Line, Victreebel (swallows spirits?) TBH, I'm not too sure here, but ghost and fairy could be reigned in a little bit.
Name: Make a Wish
Existing Ability?: N
Effect: When brought in, this Pokemon sets up a Wish.
Niche: Healthy lugs that don't get much use can gain a supportive niche. Even less healthy Pokemon can gain a supportive niche in a game that leaves them behind at times.
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Wailmer/lord, Jirachi, Lanturn, Tornadus/Thundurus Incarnate (they're djinn, or genies after all), Togekiss, Wigglytuff, Delphox
Name: Fireplace
Existing Item?: N
Effect: It's Black Sludge for Fire types. Steel types with the item take extra damage.
Removable via Knock Off?: Y
Ignored by Klutz?: N
Niche: Sometimes your fire type deserve a more stylish way to heal. The added damage to steel types means doing things like Trick could be quite nasty. Not that steel types want to stay in on Fire types unless they're Heatran, who's fire already. Could be useful on Rotom-H or Chandelure.
Fling Power: 30
Name: Electrizer/Magmizer
Existing Item?: Y
Effect: When held by Electric/Fire types, speed increases one stage. When used by another type, speed drops. When held by anyone, the user cannot use the same move 2 times in a row.
Removable via Knock Off?: Y
Ignored by Klutz?: N
Niche: Acting like a Choice Scarf that trades permanent Encore for Torment, the -Izers will certainly see use on electric and Fire types that need a little oomph, but can likely be played around as the speed boost is announced at the start of the turn. In other words, protect users by themselves an extra turn when say, your fire type needed to use his coverage move to hit yours hard and now can't use it.
Fling Power: 80
New Typing:
Furret: Normal/Ghost - Sneaky ferrets, almost raccoon-like, they sneak about. Even with an amazing type, it'll still languish 3 tiers below PU.
Last edited:
actually bubble beam wouldn't hit ground types, the immunity overrides everything else afaik
Normally, I'd agree but I was thinking it's a move nobody would use if it was blocked by ground types. It already has 2 quad resistors.

Grass / Ground 》》Grass / Rock
While Torterra may not have the best stats, Grass/Rock is an astounding typing, with only 4 weaknesses and types that cover each other extremely well. Torterra even has a cool movepool, with utility such as Leech Seed, Roar, Stealth Rock, Dual Screens, and Synthesis. Offensively, it isn't bad either, with coverage like Earthquake, Superpower, Iron Head, and strong STABs in Wood Hammer and Stone Edge all backed up by access to Swords Dance and Rock Polish.
Fire 》》Fire / Ground
Magmortar may not fit it's typing, though I always wanted to see what could be possible for a Fire/Ground Tank, and it's getting Volcanic Rock from my moves anyway. But onto the good part, Magmortar gets a very use full typing, which is usable defensively and amazing offensively. You can hit the few flying types which resist your STABs with Thunderbolt. Though it has no recovery and a lack of physical defense.

Type: Psychic
PP: 5
Effect: The opposite of Gravity, all Pokemon are forced to float off the ground for 5 turns. Deactivates Gravity if that was already in effect, and can be deactivated by Gravity.
Priority: 0
Misc.: Turns the battle into a Sky Battle of sorts, with some differences. Refer to bulbapedia’s page on Sky Battles for moves that can no longer be used when Anti-Gravity is active, except for moves that set terrains, Gravity, and Spikes/Toxic Spikes. Roost can no longer be used. If a Pokemon is already Ingrained, it remains grounded, but Ingrain can’t be used if Anti-Gravity is already in effect. Iron Ball will keep the holder grounded. Pokemon that are not Flying-type or don’t have Levitate will also have their evasion decreased by 2 stages.
Z-Move: Raise user’s Special Attack by 1 stage
Niche: Similar to Gravity, Anti-Gravity can screw with a lot of strategies. Pokemon won’t be able to use the effects of terrains, Pokemon dependent on Roost for recovery won’t be able to heal themselves, Spikes/Toxic Spikes don’t have their normal effects while Anti-Gravity is active, etc.

This neutralizes the Fighting-type weakness so it can tank their attacks better, plus a useful Dragon immunity. Blissey is also quite Fairy-like itself, it would look just right with the other pink Fairy-types.

This neutralizes the Fighting-type weakness so it can tank their attacks better, plus a useful Dragon immunity. Blissey is also quite Fairy-like itself, it would look just right with the other pink Fairy-types.

Name: Guard Up
Existing Ability?: No
Effect: Upon switch-in, this Pokemon's Defense or Special Defense goes up by 1 stage depending on the opponent's higher attacking stat (Download clone).
Niche: Allows users of the ability to either wall the opposing Pokemon more easily or set up on them more easily thanks to taking less from their attacks. Kind of works like Intimidate, but it sticks around
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Escavalier, Shelmet, Honedge and Doublade, Chespin line, All "cocoon" Pokemon excluding Whirlipede and Charjabug, Hitmonchan, Burmy and Wormadam, Gardevoir and Gallade
Name: Unarm
Existing Ability?: No
Effect: While this Pokemon is active, the opposing Pokemon is put under the effects of Embargo. Goes away when this Pokemon switches out.
Niche: Gives an actual use to Embargo by being able to neutralize the opponent's item for 5 turns, which could shut down a scarfer or shorten screens. I decided that using Embargo's effect would be better than using Magic Room as Magic Room can only be used situationally to your own benefit.
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Liepard, Banette, Sandile line, a bunch of other Dark-types.
Name: Dynamotor
Existing Ability?: No(t in this Pet Mod)
Effect: This Pokemon gains the effects of Charge on switch-in
Niche: Gives a huge one-time-per-switch-in boost to an Electric move, which allows the Pokemon to deal massive amounts of damage for one turn, possibly getting and otherwise impossible KO. Also, this does come from another Pet Mod, being The Heart of the Cards.
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Tynamo line, Shinx line, Charjabug, Blitzle line, Mareep line, Klink line
Name: Strong Jaw
Existing Ability?: Yes
Effect: Same effect as before, but it now applies to Bug Bite as well.
Niche: Strong Jaw is fine as is pretty much, this is more to redistribute it to a couple of logical users that would really appreciate such an ability.
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Everything that gets it before, Shinx line, Durant, Poochyena line, Walrein (physical Walrein new meta), Bagon line, Litten line,
Existing Ability?: No

Name: Terrifying Tackle
Existing Move?: No
Category: Physical
Type: Ghost
BP: 95
PP: 16 Max
Effect: 90% Accuracy, 10% chance to lower the opponent's Attack by 1
Priority: 0
Misc.: Hit adjacent foes, Makes Contact
Z-Move: 175 BP Never-Ending Nightmare
Niche: Gives Physical Ghost-types a good decent powered STAB move that doesn't take 2 turns, greatly boosting their damage output. This especially helps Ghosts that don't learn Shadow Claw.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: Duskull line, Shuppet line, Phantump line, Pumpkaboo line (please), Dhelmise, Golett line, Spiritomb, Shedinja, Zorua line, Giratina, Darkrai, Drowzee line, Gastly line
Name: Legend's Anointing
Existing Move?: No
Category: Status
Type: Dragon
BP: N/A
PP: 32 Max
Effect: 100% Accuracy Adds the Dragon-typing to the opposing Pokemon in addition to their original types.
Priority: 0
Misc.: Replaces types added by Trick-or-Treat or Forest's Curse. Fails if the opponent is already Dragon-type.
Z-Move: Raises all stats by 1
Niche: You know how good Z-Trick-or-Treat could be if Gourgeist had the stats or movepool to abuse it with? Well, apply that to some Dragons. It's the same idea, use the Z-Move to get +1 Everything and then smack the opponent with a super effective Dragon move to easily get them out of the way. Plus, depending on what gets this move, it might serve a slight use to getting KOs without using the Z-Move.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: Vibrava and Flygon, Tyrunt line, Druddigon, Noivern, Drampa, Jangmo-o line, Charizard, Gyarados, Bagon line (maybe), Deino line (maybe), Dragon-type cover legendaries
Name: Power Poison
Existing Move?: No
Category: Status
Type: Poison
BP: N/A
PP: 40
Effect: 100% Accuracy, poisons the opponent and raises Special Attack by 2.
Priority: 0
Misc.: Fails if the target is a Poison or Steel-type (works if the user's ability is Corrosion)
Z-Move: Resets lowered stats
Niche: Gives a nice boosting option to Poison-types, wearing down the opponent at the same time. This move does seem a bit broken, but kinda like Strength Sap, it can miss and immunities matter, which should balance it out.
Potential Pokemon With This Move: Nidoran line (both genders), Koffing line, Oddish line, Zubat line, Roselia and Roserade, Glupin line, Seviper, Stunky line, Skrelp line, Salandit line, Pyukumuku (rip Baton Pass), Umbreon, Tympole line, Lileep line

Name: Torch
Existing Item?: No
Effect: Raises the accuracy of all active Pokemon's moves and the holder's Fire-type moves by 1.2x
Removable via Knock Off?: Yes
Ignored by Klutz?: Yes
Fling: 60 BP, burns the target
Niche: Provides a power and accuracy boost to Fire-types, who certainly appreciate hitting Fire Blast more often. This could even help in hitting less accurate moves, with the Fire power boost just being a plus. For example, Tapu Koko could run Thunder (goes to 84% accuracy, not terrible) while boosting the damage of Hidden Power Fire (goes to 72 BP, which is better than Gen 2-5 Hidden Powers).
Name: Enigma Berry
Existing Item?: Yes
Effect: When this Pokemon is hit by a super effective move, the damage is weakened by 0.67x and the user heals 25% of the their max HP immediately after. Single use
Removable via Knock Off?: Yes (Activates before being Knocked Off if the holder is weak to Dark)
Ignored by Klutz?: Yes
Fling: 10 BP
Niche: Basically an omni-type resisting berry that while it's effect is weaker, comes with the added bonus of the 25% healing that the Enigma Berry originally gave.

Pokemon: Hoothoot line
New typing: Normal/Flying -> Fairy/Flying
Niche: Gives Noctowl a pretty decent defensive typing and a good offensive typing, allowing it to take advantage of Tinted Lens better (and thank goodness it already get Moonblast). Weirdly enough, Noctowl with Agility (or maybe even Tricky Seed) will have the speed to make it work, and isn't the weakest thing in the world at 86 SpA.
