I updated all the names to the english names. I also listed the effects of the urge items as we know them now. They basically let you activate your Pokemon's held item, or ability. Thanks to it's low cost I can see potential in them. The more useful one could be the Reset Urge to counter debuffs, but even that has limited uses in the metagame in my experience.
One thing I am curious about though is whether the addition of revive items will increase the use of suicide moves or not.
One other item that just caught my attention is Item Drop. A pretty nice counter to trick, helps set up Unburden, and can get rid of Choice items, or Life Orb if need be.
