If there was only one...

[celever]

So, signature moves have always been a weird thing in pokemon. They'd be given to uber legendaries, given to random pokemon and given at random times. They've even been given away (mainly to victini)! But what if this went up another level? What if every single pokemon got a signature move? Well, this is what we need to create!

The moves that you create will have to be reasonable, not broken but we don't want it completely useless either. It can fit the pokemon's stats for flavor, but the main thing we will be basing these attacks on will in fact be the pokedex entries! I mean, giving hitmonlee an attack on general kicking based on design wouldn't be something only hitmonlee can do, giving it an attack where you must extend the leg to kick though, would be something only hitmonlee can do.

The attacks that you put into the thread will be placed in this very post in alphabetical order (forgive me if I screw up a little bit!) but for now, let me start us off! (There is no type since mienshao is mono-typed, and will always be STAB. On dual-typed pokemon you will need to specify.)



Name: Thrash slash (yeah yeah working on it)
BP: 50 Acc: 100 Category: Physical
Effect: This attack hits 2-3 times. Mienshao will not take life orb damage. Damage increases with every consecutive hit. Only a 10% chance for it to hit 3 times.
Pokedex entry used: Using the long fur on its arms like whips, it launches into combo attacks that, once started, no one can stop.
Reasoning/Need: Mienshao needs a good alternative to hi jump kick, which is arguably too risky. The effect and the pokedex entry kind of says the reasoning, and I do not feel it needs much clarification. Basically damage increases with each hit because "once started, no one can stop". "Combo attacks" is why it is a multi-hitting move.


Alphabetical list:

Name: Raptor Strike
BP: 130 Acc.: 90 PP: 10
Effect: Works exactly like Hi Jump Kick.
Pokedex Entry used: It runs better than it flies. It catches prey by running at speeds comparable to those of an automobile.
Other info: Flying-Type Physical attack.
Reasoning/Need: A strong physical move that doesn't deal recoil damage every time it hits could be a big help to Archeops. However, if it should miss it effectively cripples him because it brings him exactly into Defeatist range. Still, I think that this could benefit him greatly being able to run a Choice set with a strong STAB Flying-Type move.

Name: Thunder Tail
BP: 120
Effect: The user closes in on the target, attacking with its tails and discharging mega-volts into the opponent. The user defenses drop however (like Close Combat).
Pokedex Entry Used: Heedless of enemy attacks, it closes in, shoves its tails onto the foe, then looses high voltage.
Reason/Need: Flavor mostly, I see this being a physical move so it could make electivire a real threat. I'm not really sure how this would affect it competitively.

Pokemon: Farfetch'd
Name: Leek Slash
Type: Normal
BP: 140 Acc: 90 PP: 2
Effect: This move always crits. It lowers the user's SpA by one stage upon use.
Pokedex Entry: The plant stalk it holds is its weapon. The stalk is used like a sword to cut all sorts of things.
Reasoning: Farfetch'd needs something amazing to make it ever used. This is it.


Name: Wildfire
BP: 100 Acc: 95 PP: 10 Category: Physical
Effect: Charges at the foe while engulfed in flames. Has 30% chance to raise Speed one stage
Pokédex entry: I really wanted to come up with something related to its internal 'flame sack' where it heats inhaled air but couldn't think how to incorporate it into a physical move, which is what we know Flareon needs
Reasoning/Need: Do I really need to elaborate? It's common knowledge that Flareon is begging for a half decent physical STAB move. It's also quite slow so grabbing a lucky speed boost would be handy.

BP: -- Acc: 100 PP: 20 Category: Physical Type: Ice
Effect: Base power depending on the user's happiness, exactly like return but ice type.
Pokédex entry: Lapras shows the trainer how it loves him by this refreshing move
Reasoning/Need: Lapras is a very friendly pokemon who likes the company of humans plus this move would fit in its dragon dance and curse sets perfectly.

Name: EM Pulse
BP: 120 Acc: 100 PP: 5 Category: Special Type: Electric
Effect: Creates a terribly strong magnetic field, inducing large electric currents in Steel Type Pokémon. This attack is useless against all other Pokémon, as well as Steel/Ground types.
Pokédex entry: "Magneton emits a powerful magnetic force that is fatal to mechanical devices. As a result, large cities sound sirens to warn citizens of large-scale outbreaks of this Pokémon."
Reasoning/need: This attack would be the bane of all Skarmory. As strong as Thunder and as reliable as Thunderbolt. Scizor wouldn't like it either. And Magnet Bomb just doesn't cut it for a magnet-based attack.


Name: Mantra
BP: -- Acc.: -- PP: 20
Effect: Forces the Sleep status at the user, overriding any other one. Increases Def and SDef +1 immediately, and again by the end of any subsequent turn. Once the pokémon wakes up, it recovers 50% of its HP; Atk/SAtk/Speed receive the Def/SDef boosts; and its Def/SDef boosts are cleared.
Pokedex Entry used: MEDEETASHUN. All of its Dex entries mention how it meditates night and day and has developed mind reading powers, can see the opponent's aura, dances elegantly, sharpens its sixth sense, and so on. This move if the epitome of its training.
Reasoning/Need: Medicham sucks lol. Besides an evolution to increase those sucky stats, however, there really isn't much that could save it. This move would be a life saver, as it allows Medicham to boost its stats (specially lol Speed) while not automatically dying to any 20 BP move. Initially, I had in mind the Def boosts would be transferred to Atk and the SDef boosts, to SAtk, but it would make only a cool gimmick because Speed would be the same. I want Medicham to be good with this move, so it has to also increase Speed even if it makes the move something borderline broken.

Additional Information: Oh, and its Medicham-only. Fuck Meditite. The LC crowd doesn't deserve that fucker being even better than it is now.


Name: Thrash slash (yeah yeah working on it)
BP: 60
Effect: This attack hits 2-3 times. Mienshao will not take life orb damage. Damage increases with every consecutive hit.
Pokedex entry used: Using the long fur on its arms like whips, it launches into combo attacks that, once started, no one can stop.
Reasoning/Need: Mienshao needs a good alternative to hi jump kick, which is arguably too risky. The effect and the pokedex entry kind of says the reasoning, and I do not feel it needs much clarification. Basically damage increases with each hit because "once started, no one can stop".

Effect: This attack hits three times in one turn. No additional effect.
Other info: Steel-Type Physical attack. Does not make contact.
Pokedex Entry used: All of them, but this one in particular:
Quote:
It controls three units called Mini-Noses using magnetic force. With them, it can attack the foe from three directions.
Reasoning/Need: No real need, considering Probo's horrible attacking stats, but I couldn't pass up the name "Schnoz Barrage", lol.

Pokemon: Raichu line.
Name: Overvoltage
BP: 80
Effect: The user subjects the target to a voltage so extreme it can even damage ground types. (Does normal damage to ground types. Does not bypass abilities like Motor Drive though.)
Pokedex entry used: N/A
Reasoning/Need: The infamous "aim for the horn" anime episode finally made reality! Any electric type would love this move to really ease prediction, but why not give it to the series mascot and its evo so they might be seen more often in competitive play? The drop in power compared to Thunderbolt may well be missed however.

Name: Belt Tighten
BP: -- Acc.: -- PP: 15
Effect: Works exactly like Dragon Dance.
Pokedex Entry used: Tying their belts gets them pumped and makes their punches more destructive. Disturbing their training angers them.
Reasoning/Need: Sawk really has amazing power, but lacks the speed to utilize that power to its fullest. Having a boosting move otside of Bulk Up that boosts his speed as well as attack would be a huge help to Sawk.

Pokemon: Sawsbuck line
Name: Season Strike
BP: 40 Acc: 100 PP: 5
Effect: The attack has +1 priority, and deals damage to the weaker of the defensive stats of the target.
Pokedex Entry: The plants growing on its horns change accordi the season. The leaders of the herd possess magnificent horns.
Reasoning: Sawsbuck is weak vs. most physical Walls and is extremely weak vs Mach Punch users.

Pokemon: Shedinja
Soul Steal
Move Info : -- Power 80 Accuracy
The opponent falls asleep and loses all stat boosts it has acquired.
Pokedex Entry Used : A discarded bug shell that came to life. Peering into the crack on its back is said to steal one's spirit.
Need : A move that makes Shedinja not instantly wrecked by pokemon who hit it super-effectivley that allows it to have a niche countering CroCune. Shedinja is a brutally bad pokemon but this move allows it to be safeish as it sets up, if the opponent wakes up before Sheddy sets up the he is in big trouble.

Name: Banana Meteor
Type: Grass
Category: Special
BP: 120
Accuracy: 100
PP: 10
Effect: The power of this move is increasing by 1.5 during sun. Has a 20% chance to increase the users Sp.Atk.
Pokedex entry used: The user fires bananas at the foe with overwhelming speed and force.
Reasoning/Need: A 180BP STAB move in the sun and the chance to raise its Sp.Atk might actually inject some much needed power into Tropius' pitiful offenses when paired with Chlorophyll. Or Choice Specs Solar Power... Then again Tropius might just be destined to remain in the bottom of NU no matter how many cool moves we give it.


Name: Landslide
BP: 120 Acc: 100 PP: 10 Category: Physical Type: Rock
Effect: Basically Rock type Outrage.
Pokédex entry: "If it rampages, it knocks down mountains and buries rivers. Maps must be redrawn afterward." (DPPt) "Tyranitar is so overwhelmingly powerful, it can bring down a whole mountain to make its nest. This Pokémon wanders about in mountains seeking new opponents to fight." (Ruby/Sapphire)
Reason/need: Tyranitar is overwhelmingly powerful, the Pokédex says. It can supposedly change the entire landscape when on a rampage. Yet, a mere Earthquake doesn't quite seem to be enough. Let's give this thing a proper tool to wreak stuff with.

Name: Schnoz Barrage
BP/Accuracy: BP 30, Acc. 100
Effect: This attack hits three times in one turn. No additional effect.
Other info: Steel-Type Physical attack. Does not make contact.
Pokedex Entry used: All of them, but this one in particular:

Reasoning/Need: No real need, considering Probo's horrible attacking stats, but I couldn't pass up the name "Schnoz Barrage", lol.

[Basileus]

Name: consuming darkness
BP: -- Acc: -- PP: 3
Effect: traps opponent, works like sleep but the opponent can't switch and it always lasts for 2 turns. However, switching negates the ability
Pokedex entry used: The opponent is engulfed within dusknoir's belly for 2 turns and unable to move.
Reasoning/Need: With incredible power and defense, if Dusknoir could hold his opponent for just a couple moves and stat boost then it would make it so much more viable. Plus, it sounds super cool! Imagine being able to set up substitute and use will-o-wisp on your opponent who can only watch in horror! The only thing that could cause a problem is taunt, and the fact that Dusknoir is really slow and has no way to boost speed it doesn't become too OP (but I gave it 3PP just to be safe :P).
Second thought: I have absolutely no idea how this would help Dusknoir, but I like making OP moves so haters gonna hate! :D

Basileus, that really does sound too broken and you didn't even use a real pokedex entry :(

Sorry, but declined..

Updated probopass though, also you CAN make 2 or more moves for a pokemon.

[cantab]

The description on Thrash Slash seems a bit unclear. Is it meant to be a multi-hit move like DoubleSlap, or a locked-in move like Outrage? If the former I'd say it's a bit too powerful.

Anyway,

I think Type, Accuracy, Category and PP should be added to all moves in this thread.

[Squishyfrog]

[mcFlareon]

Name: Axe Kick
BP: 80 Acc: 90 PP: 15 Category: Physical
Effect: Brings it's foot upwards then strikes it down with a strong force like an axe. Has a 30% chance of flinching. Flying/Levitating foes drop to the ground, similar to Smack Down.
Pokedex entry used: It is also called the Kick Master. It uses its elastic legs to execute every known kick. That and Yellow's entry: When kicking, the sole of its foot turns as hard as a diamond on impact and destroys its enemy.
Reasoning/Need:
Flavour really since an Axe Kick hasn't been made into a move before- and Hitmonlee is the Kick master. Also, from looking at other Fighting types, Hitmonlee pretty much has the best anatomy to pull off this move (can't see Machamp doing this for example), since other Dex entries also mention it's good sense of balance. Plus with it's stretchy legs and hard sole on its feet, there would definitely be a good chance of flinching. The Smack Down effect is there to take advantage of it's stretchy legs which have a good reach, and may see Hitmonlee add more of a supporting role before it get's KOed by its frailty.

edit: wow just read the op a second time instead of skimming it and I totally didn't see the Hitmonlee example lol

[celever]

Oh wow! Guys, these moves are absolutely brilliant! I was really looking forward to what you guys could come up with!
Since tropius is about my 5th favorite pokemon, I would actually use bannana meteor :D (I use him on my current sun team anyway).

Anyway, OP will be soon updated! (probably 5 hours when I get back though..)

I was thinking of making a fire type priority move for him with the same name but decided that sort of move shouldn't be restricted to just him.

[celever]

So, as said earlier these really are great! Just a query though.
Cobaroll, you said "inducing large electric currents in Steel Type Pokémon" which would make you think that it would only work on steel type pokemon. But then you say "This attack is useless against all other Pokémon, as well as Steel" Meaning that it effects nothing. Just edit it and it will go in the OP.

As for your question, I suppose, if you really want to, but it kinda defeats the point of this.

OP will be updated momentarily, keep up the great work guys!

Edit for below: Oh yeah, that was just my incompetence. You could not have worded it better. xD

[Cobraroll]

^I meant that if a Pokémon was of the Steel/Ground type (as in, both Steel and Ground, no matter which is primary or secondary type), it wouldn't work. Ground types would still keep their immunity to Electric attacks, even if they were partly Steel and thus eligible to be targeted by the attack. All other Steel/Anything Pokémon would be fried as usual.

[thesynchrohero]

Soul Steal
Move Info : -- Power 80 Accuracy
The opponent falls asleep and loses all stat boosts it has acquired.

Pokedex Entry Used : A discarded bug shell that came to life. Peering into the crack on its back is said to steal one's spirit.

Need : A move that makes Shedinja not instantly wrecked by pokemon who hit it super-effectivley that allows it to have a niche countering CroCune. Shedinja is a brutally bad pokemon but this move allows it to be safeish as it sets up, if the opponent wakes up before Sheddy sets up the he is in big trouble.

Name: Mantra

Oh, and its Medicham-only. Fuck Meditite. The LC crowd doesn't deserve that fucker being even better than it is now.

[celever]

Basileus, you are making the opponent completely helpless and unable to do anything, including switch out. I talked about the pokedex entry section because that is not in any pokedex entry and the 2 turns bit is in the wrong place. If you modify it a bit and actually make it balanced and along the lines of what you are meant to type up then I will definitely add it.

Mario with lasers, with medicham being one of my favorite pokemon I have 2 things to say to you;
A) Medicham is very good in RU
And B) AWESOME MOVE OMG I LOVE IT.

Anyway, mantra, leek slash, soul steal (I also like that one, could give shedinja a nice niche in NU) and the tightening of the belt will be added to the OP, along with the previously declined EM pulse.

[Deglas]

Name: Black Hole
BP: 95 Acc: 100 PP: 5 Category: Special
Effect: Creates a black hole. Is a partial trapping move.
Pokedex Entry used: Gardevoir has the psychokinetic power to distort the dimensions and create a small black hole. This Pokémon will try to protect its trainer even at the risk of its own life.
Reasoning/Need: Gardevoir already has the interesting ability Trace, letting it switch into certain moves/Pokemon with impunity. A partial trapping move allows it to make better use of the ability, trapping and removing certain Pokemon (similar to Magma Storm Heatran). Black Hole makes perfect flavor sense, because the Pokedex says Gardevoir can create them, and nothing can escape a black hole's gravity.

EDIT @Mario With Lasers: Yes, like Magma Storm. The comparative accuracy increase is because of the worse offensive typing/Gardevoir being worse than Heatran overall.

EDIT2 BP lowered, I had been thinking more along the lines of actual black holes with the power and accuracy.

[Master of the Six Kings]

One thing I will say for this, is that it's going to be near impossible to make moves some Pokemon can use that other, related Pokemon couldn't. I think near-exclusive is as good as we will get. For instance, Sawk and Throh would be only users of Belt Tighten, Staraptor and Archeops for Raptor Strike, or the already existing Cacturne + Maractus for Needle Arm.

[Mario With Lasers]

I find it weird Black Hole has a Base Power... I have always felt Black Hole should be a nevermiss OHKO move for everyone on the field. Being a trapping move is a nice idea, though. But what does "partial trapping" mean? Is it exactly like Magma Storm?

Actually, I had Hariyama in mind for Mantra, but only because I want it to evolve into a 9001lbs. Buddha-like, mountain-like pokémon called Harisama; it doesn't even exist yet, so I went with Medicham instead, which is more related to mantra anyway. Now that I think of it, Harisama would be hilariously broken with it lol

[Manitary]

I think some of these BP and/or accuracy should be lowered, there are already five moves 120/100 with no drawback (except one limited to steel types)
