Bwahaha, this generation will be cool, no hordes of zubat/geodude/tentacool just waiting for you to run into them. I hope it doesn't mean that there will be pokes very similar to those, though.
Pretty neat typing to me, although it needs moves to hit grass types, as both his stabs are resisted. Also, Flygon/Claydol/Torterra will be problematic as well. Hidden Power Ice?New rumour from Pokejungle:
Eletusk
Elephant Pokemon
Type: Electric/Ground
Abilities: Volt Absorb or Lightning Rod
Attacks: Wild Bolt, Thunder Fang, Horn Attack, Uproar
Appearance: Elephant with lightning-bolt shaped tusks. *Defense is highest stat
*Note: Poster said its pre-evolution may be name something like Laifan
Could be fake, but what do you think of the typing/ability?
Gliscor says hi.The amazingly shitty name makes me skeptical. But I'd really like it to be true. Electric says fuck you flying types and ground says fuck you everything else. Pretty deadly :/
A ground type with Volt Absorb? Ummmmmmmm
Combination attacks sound really interesting. There's a lot of possibility there.Serebii said:The first details on special CoroCoro magazine; CoroCoro Special's October issue have started to come out through a Twitter so there is a possibility of it being inaccurate, with thanks to Sabonea Masukippa for translation. This issue confirms a new feature within Double & Triple Battles called Combination Attacks. These attacks can be joined together if you select both attacks by selecting two or more specific attacks. Three examples of these attacks include Grass Oath, Fire Oath and Water Oath. We don't know how these work exactly but we have three examples;
If you use Grass Oath and Water Oath, the moves combine to make a Moor attack which lowers your opponent's speed.
In addition to that, Fire Oath and Water Oath create a Rainbow in the sky which boosts the likelihood of secondary effects occuring for your team mates.
Grass Oath & Fire Oath creates a Field of Fire which will cause damage to the opponents each turn.
We'll bring more details on this brand new feature as and when it comes including and hopefully some scans & total confirmation so keep checking back.
THUNDAAAA ARMOR!!!!!!
I wish. It may be extremely silly, both the "thunder armour" or any contest combos seen (fire ice, ice aqua jet etc), but if we were able to do something like that it would open up a whole realm of out of the box creativity. Maybe not the most effective, but still interesting.THUNDAAAA ARMOR!!!!!!
Okay, so we've finally gotten some exciting news on the Oath attacks, they can combine in Triple or Double battles to form new moves. For example, Grass Oath and Water Oath creates a swamp that lowers the opponent's Speed, Water Oath and Fire Oath creates a rainbow that increases the effects of added effects happening. (think serene grace) And Fire and Grass Oath creates a field on fire, damaging the foes every turn.
So, that got me thinking: What if there was an Oath move for all seventeen elemental types? There could be so many epic combinations!
I've already though of a few:
Ground and Water: A Mudslide occurs, doing damage along with harshly lowering the foe's accuracy.
Flying and Fire: A Phoenix flies across the screen, inflicting a burn on all foes.
Water and Poison: Badly poisons all opponents at the cost of lowering your own defenses.
Dragon and Anything Else: A huge meteor of the second elemental type bashes into the foe on the turn afterwards, causing untold damage.
Do you guys have any ideas?
Based on what we've seen from the seasonal effect, I've got an idea:I do hope these attacks have a use outside of Double Battles. It would be nice for Gamefreak to create moves with multiple uses.
