Reckless
[SHORT DESC]
Increases power of Recoil causing moves and Jump Kick and Hi Jump Kick by 20%.
[LONG DESC]
<h2>Detailed Effects.</h2>
<p>The moves Double-edge,Take Down,Volt Tackle,Flare blitz,Wild Charge Head Charge,Head Smash,Hi Jump Kick,Jump Kick,Wood hammer,Submission have their power boosted by 20% and due to the increased damage caused by the boosted moves the recoil is also boosted indirectly except for the jump kick moves which still do 50% of the users HP on failing to hit. Struggle although technically a recoil move isn't boosted by this ability. The item Life Orb has no effect on this ability.</p>
<h2>Competitive Usage</h2>
<p>Limited in distribution with only 7 fully evolved pokemon getting this ability it's usefulness is actually good with a few pokemon like Staraptor benefiting greatly from the devastating power of stab double-edge and brave bird becoming 216 Base after the boost of this ability while the increased recoil from the boosted moves cuts down on their lifespans greatly most of the holders are frail already and wouldn't live long anyways and would greatly appreciate the boost to their moves, a oddity of this ability is that it boosts the jump kick moves by 20% but doesn't increase the damage they cause to the user on miss while it does turn hi jump kick into a obscenely powerful 234 Base power move for Hitmonlee and Mienshao they generally have better options in ability's that don't involve being a one trick pony.</p>
<h2>Related Ability</h2>
<p>Rock Head also involves interaction with recoil causing moves but instead of boosting the moves it blocks out the recoil damage they would cause.</p>
