An idea that I had was a system of "move-leveling," which would be related to energy expended. I was asked to write up a proposal, so here is a rough one.
In the anime, Pokemon often do not master their moves immediately upon learning them, just as people do not master skills immediately upon acquiring them. In order to represent this, I believe that five "ranks" of moves ought to be implemented, namely: Novice, Decent, Good, Great and Master. How would these be implemented, you ask? In essence, each move would raise the damage output by 20%, starting at 40% of max power.
So, Novice is 40%, Decent is 60%, Good is 80% and Great is 100%. They take 100% of the required energy to perform while at this level. What is the purpose of the "Master" level, then? Mastery, to me at least, signifies a bit more finesse than just being good at execution. Mastery allows you to trade off power for a lower energy cost to use the move, meaning that you can use it at Novice-level power for 40% energy if you so desire.
Once you reach the "Good" level, you can begin using moves for unorthodox purposes, such as aiming Flamethrower at the ground to melt it. At the "Great" level, you can perform more complex maneuvers, such as acrobatics of moves. At the "Master" level, you have complete control of the attack and can use it to its full accuracy and effect, as well as combine certain attacks to create more potent moves, such as Whirlpool and Thundershock to create an electrified whirlpool. Both moves must be mastered to combine them, and their power/effects are determined at the referee/facilitator of the battle's discretion.
This seems like a very interestng proposal, and a good one too. But how are we going to decide when a Pokemon's move 'levels up?' I assume it's based on amount of times the move is used. However, a move such as Fire Blast would obviously be harder to master than Ember. Therefore, I propose we group moves into four power groups.
Beginner: 40 or lower
Easy: 45-80
Medium: 85-110
Hard: 115 or higher
Obviously there are a couple of snags here. For multi-hit moves, I suggest we should use the total power of three hits (the average). Status moves would be grouped according to effectiveness. For instance, Smokescreen would be Easy and Toxic hard.
Here are some equations I thought of to calculate when a move levels up. Note that x is the move's difficulty, with Beginner being 1, Easy 2, and so on. These are not by any means the last word on this, just a starting point. The addition is necessary because without it, you could master a beginner move in 10 executions.
OK, so I'm going to trust everyone here with this next bit.
Essentially if you want to contribute to the attack list, please PM me with a writing sample of the following 5 attacks. Don't worry about damage etc., I just want to know how you would describe it.
5 Attack test:
Describe the following moves.
Dig
Hypnosis
Light Screen
Mach Punch
Psychic
Once I get your descriptions of these moves I'll respond with any notes on it, then assign you a letter. As long as your fundamental writing skills are up to snuff you'll be fine, we can mull over specifics later.
If you need assistance with Anime descriptions, Bulbapedia's Move Index has links to any uses of an attack in the Anime.
Notes: The moves I am going to list already have mechanics about stage boosts and their duration assumed. Specifically most stage boosts are temporary and last for a specified number of rounds after use, with additional uses of the move being less effective than in-game but increasing the duration. Furthermore there is a mechanical assuption towards "normalcy" where stat reductions are also decreased as rounds wear on naturally. These mechanics are up for discussion.
Additionally, I have made the following assumptions about move power and energy costs:
Move power is roughly equivalent to in-game base power multiplied by 10 and rounded up in the case of moves with BPs ending in 5.
Energy Costs are anywhere between 1/2 and 2/3rds of the damage a move deals. It is assumed later that STAB bonus will increase damage and reduce energy cost for attacks of that Pokemon's type. +2 Stat Boosters generally cost around 7 energy per use, and HP restoring moves have heavy energy costs generally to prevent stalling. There is an action called "chill" that restores 10% (flat) of the Pokemon's energy and which is usually limited in battles. If a Pokemon hits either 0% HP or 0% Energy it will faint. The system is created so boosting actions and healing are generally disfavored but otherwise viable options.
I welcome discussion on these mechanical choices as well, insofar as we reason about how to move them around to be efficient and balanced.
Formatting for common move occurrences:
This is how I want moves formatted (depending on other move circumstances the specific sentence effects can change) I have bolded things I want to be fixed in all entries:
Multi-Hit Moves:
<2-5 Hits Move:> <Attack-specific description>. It can disrupt an opponent’s move that takes a while to charge up.
Attack Power: [x] per hit | Accuracy: xx% | Energy Cost: 2[x] | Effect Chance: --
Stage Boosters (+ or -1): <Attack specific description with any relevant battle effects>. <stat raised/lowered> will not be dropped/increased [respectively] at the end of the round<, any other relevant text like when the attack is initially used.>
Stage Boosters (+2 and +1/+1): <Attack specific description with any relevant battle effects, note the stage of the boosts and which stats they affect.>.<, any other relevant text like when the attack is initially used.>
Moves with higher boosts or situationally higher boosts (Shell Break, Butterfly Dance, Growth) will be handled on an individual basis. There aren't that many of them.
Damaging Guaranteed Stage Droppers (-1): <Attack specific description with any relevant battle effects,> lowering their <stat> by one stage.
Non-Damaging Stage Droppers (-2): <Attack specific description with any relevant battle effects,> lowering their <stat> by 2 stages for the next two rounds. Subsequent uses will alternate between reducing the opponent’s <stat> by 1 stage and the effect duration by 1 round.
Direct Recovery Moves: <Attack specific description with any relevant battle effects>, restoring 20 percentage points of their health.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: Maximum HP/10 + 2 | Effect Chance: --
Attack List Anchor
Note: This is going to be the editted and updated list for the thread, if there are discrepancies with other posts, this one takes precedence.
Attack List A
Absorb: The Pokemon fires a red beam at the opponent that engulfs it and saps its HP back to the user. Half the damage inflicted on the opponent is healed.
Acid: The Pokemon fires a spray of corrosive acid that has a chance to lower the opponent’s special defense one (1) stage. Acid can corrode Steel-types, making them susceptible to other Poison-type attacks.
Acid Armor: The Pokemon melts into a body of water, increasing its defense two (2) stages and dodging physical attacks the action it is used. While all Pokemon with Acid Armor can melt into water (even Slugma and Magcargo), any substance similar to their original body structure can also be used.
Acid Bomb: The Pokemon funnels high amounts of toxin into one single shot of acid that explodes on contact. It reduces the opponent’s special defense one (1) stage. Acid can corrode Steel-types, making them susceptible to other Poison-type attacks.
Acrobat: The Pokemon lunges toward the opponent with a brutal yet stylish flair. If encumbered by a hold item or other drag, the damage is greatly reduced.
Attack Power: 11 or 6 if encumbered | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 7 | Effect Chance: --
Acupressure: The Pokemon strikes one of its pressure points, raising a random stat by two (2) stages. Subsequent uses of Acupressure will change the boosted stat.
Aeroblast: The Pokemon gathers energy into a massive wind column and blows it directly at the opponent. The wind shear gives the move a high chance of a critical hit. It can easily blow lighter foes into the surrounding area.
Afro Break: The Pokemon prepares its defense shortly before rushing into a headlong charge, dealing massive damage but reducing the recoil of the attack from 33% to 25%.
Air Cutter: The Pokemon sharply swings its wings/claws creating an area of energized wind shear. The cutting force gives the attack a high critical hit chance.
Air Slash: The Pokemon gathers and energizes a large amount of swirling air and launches it with its wings toward the opponent. The force of this blast can prevent the opponent from acting and blow lighter foes away effortlessly.
Ancient Song: The Pokemon sings a haunting hymn that has a chance to put the opponent to sleep. It can unlock the powers of Meloetta to transform between its Voice Form and Step Form.
AncientPower: The Pokemon summons up an ancient force from the earth that forms into a glowing white ball. Exposure to the ancient forces of the move can raise all of a Pokemon’s stats by one (1) stage.
Anger Powder: The Pokemon unleashes a noxious powder that enrages the opponent, taking over its senses and forcing it to target the user of Anger Powder. While enraged by Anger Power, the target will be less effective at using non-damaging attacks, but not incapable.
Aqua Ring: The Pokemon surrounds itself in looping rings of water that pulsate with healing energy, restoring 2 HP per action for 2 rounds. The rings can be dispelled by strong blasts of lightning or wind.
Arm Thrust: The Pokemon thrusts its straightened arms at the opponent multiple times, throwing them off balance and disrupting opposing attacks that take a while to charge.
Attack Power: 2 per hit | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 4 | Effect Chance: --
Aromatherapy: The pokemon releases a powerful, zesty, soothing scent into the air around itself and any teammates, purging them of all status conditions, including Burn, Freeze, Paralysis, Poison (including Toxic-level Poison) and Sleep.
Assist: The Pokemon summons an energy ball that releases, unleashing a random move known by another Pokemon on the trainer’s team and is subject to that attack’s accuracy and effects. Fails if the trainer has no other Pokemon in reserve.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 2 + Energy Cost of summoned move | Effect Chance: --
Assist Power: The Pokemon focuses on its raised attributes while creating a large energy ball, which it then launches at the opponent. The more positive stage boosts the Pokemon has, the more powerful the attack
Attack Power: 2 + 2 for each stage boost | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 7 | Effect Chance: --
Assurance: The Pokemon strikes the opponent with a powerful, vindictive strike. Deals much more damage if the opponent in caught off guard after another attack or other damage-dealing effect.
Attack Power: 5 or 10 if opponent was damaged that action | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 4 | Effect Chance: --
Astonish: The Pokemon shouts and releases energy shockwaves in a rapid movement. The swift pain and abruptness of the attack can cause the opponent not to act.
Attack Order: The Pokemon summons a group of underling Combee that strike the opponent on all sides with solid waves of energy, damaging them physically. The overwhelming number of assaults give the attack a high critical hit chance.
Attract: The Pokemon flirts with an opponent releasing pink hearts from their body. It causes opponents of the opposite gender to be infatuated with the Pokemon and reduces their chance of attacking or otherwise using their attacks productively.
Aurora Beam: The Pokemon fires a brightly colored beam of ice energy at the opponent. The chill from the attack has a chance to lower the opponent’s attack one (1) stage.
Avalanche: The Pokemon takes a resolute stance and begins summoning glacial pillars. If the Pokemon is damaged by the opponent’s action, the Avalanche user hardens its resolve and strikes with extraordinary power. Consecutive uses of Avalanche do not get the damage boost if the pokemon is damaged again.
Attack Power: 6 or 12 if damaged | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 6 | Effect Chance: --
Attack List B
Bark Out: The Pokemon releases a piercing bark the emits dark waves. The waves scramble the opponent’s concentration, lowering their Special Attack one (1) stage until the end of the next round.
Barrage: The Pokemon launches 2-5 small spheres of energy that explode on contact, throwing the opponent off balance and disrupting attacks that take a while to charge up.
Attack Power: 2 per hit | Accuracy: 85% | Energy Cost: 3 | Effect Chance: --
Barrier: The Pokemon erects a sphere of energy around itself rebuffing any oncoming physical attack. After the initial use the barrier fades, but its user retains a defense boost for two (2) rounds.
Baton Pass: The Pokemon focuses all of its energies into a white aura that maintains its current state. This energy holds all of the information on the Pokemon’s stat increases and decreases as well as whether it is in a state of confusion or other temporary ailments. If this Pokemon touches a teammate it can pass those bonuses and mental state onto them instantly.
Beat Up: The Pokemon summons dark energy from teammates still in their Pokeballs and strikes the opponent once for itself and each ally. This dark energy ignores the opponent’s defensive increases and disrupts attacks that take a while to charge.
Attack Power: 3 for each hit | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 2 for each hit | Effect Chance: --
Belly Drum: The Pokemon pounds its stomach with fury, whipping it into an intense frenzy. In exchange for 1/2 of its maximum HP, the Pokemon receives a permanent rise to its maximum attack level (+6) for the duration of the battle. This self-damage ignores normal damage caps that round on the user and for the next two rounds on the opponent. The heightened aggressive state makes the Pokemon more difficult to confuse or put to sleep for the next two rounds, however its own non-damaging moves, including chills, are more likely to falter. Belly Drum cannot be used if the Pokemon is below half of its maximum HP.
Bide: The Pokemon braces for impact, quickly forming a white aura around itself. For the next two actions the pokemon will absorb any attacks against it, adding it’s suffering into the aura. On the third action it will release the energy gathered from Bide, doing double the damage received during its use. While in Bide, the Pokemon is less susceptible to the effects of status-lowering attacks.
Bind: The Pokemon wraps themselves around the opponent with their arms, body, or other appendages and locks them into place. During Bind, both Pokemon may still issue attacks, however any attack using a part of the body implementing the bind will cause it to release. The steady squeezing of a Bind drains the opponents HP at the rate of 2 per action for as long as they are in the bind.
Attack Power: 3 + 2 drain per action | Accuracy: 85% | Energy Cost: 3 | Effect Chance: --
Bite: The Pokemon’s teeth are surrounded with dark energy, and they chomp down hard on an opponent. The dark energy can cause the opponent to flinch in shock.
Blast Burn: The Pokemon turns red hot and the ground bursts with jets of fire, launching a massive assault of flaming rocks on the opponent. After use the Pokemon is more sluggish on the next action.
Blaze Kick: The Pokemon surrounds its feet with a gigantic column of flame and launches toward the opponent in a devastating kick. The sheer force gives the attack a high critical hit chance, and the flames can burn the opponent.
Blizzard: The Pokemon blows a massive chilling wind at the opponent that can affect the entire field. During Hail this move never fails to blast about the entire arena, even bursting through Protect and similar defenses. It has a chance to freeze opponents solid.
Block: [Switch=KO] The Pokemon moves with unnatural speed to block off an opponent’s exit or attempts to gain distance. Block also releases a white energy that encapsulates the opponent, preventing them from getting too much distance. While Blocked an opponent is more vulnerable to a follow-up attack, especially if they were moving with enhanced speed when Block is performed. [Switch=OK] The Pokemon moves with an unnatural speed to block any attempt to switch the opposing Pokemon. Block also releases a white energy that encapsulates the opponent. The energy prevents pokeballs from working on the opponent until they faint. The opponent may not switch that Pokemon inbetween rounds for the duration of the battle.
Body Purge: The Pokemon sets off a metamorphic shift in their body that removes impurities, halving their weight and increasing their speed by 2 stages. The effect wears off after 2 rounds. Subsequent uses will increase the duration by one round and the potency by one stage, but will not further reduce the Pokemon’s weight.
Bone Club: The Pokemon energizes a club and strikes the opponent with it in a single, powerful stroke. The force of the attack can cause the opponent to flinch in shock.
Bone Rush: The Pokemon energizes a club and strikes the opponent multiple times with a spinning motion, disruption attacks that take a while to charge up.
Attack Power: 3 per hit | Accuracy: 85% | Energy Cost: 6 | Effect Chance:
Bonemerang: The Pokemon throws an energized bone that strikes the opponent once, then doubles back and strikes them again before returning to the original user.
Attack Power: 5 per hit | Accuracy: 90% | Energy Cost: 7 | Effect Chance: --
Bounce: The Pokemon leaps above an incoming attack and crashes down with immense force. The strength of the impact on pinned limbs can cause paralysis.
Brave Bird: The Pokemon spreads its wings and summons a terrible blue energy to strike the foe with a reckless, brutal charge. The Pokemon suffers 1/3rd of the damage it deals to the opponent in recoil.
Brick Break: The Pokemon’s appendages glow white and it strikes the opponent with precise damaging strikes. The energy radiated from the blow destabilizes Light Screen and Reflect, breaking them upon contact.
Brine: The Pokemon blasts the opponent with a strong blast of salt water. When the opponent is below 1/2 of their maximum HP, the corrosive salt in Brine causes deals more damage by seeping into the opponent’s wounds.
Attack Power: 6 or 11 | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 6 | Effect Chance: --
Bubble: The Pokemon shoots a wide spray of bubbles that snap violently on the opponents joints, sometimes causing the opponent’s Speed to lower one (1) stage.
BubbleBeam: The Pokemon shoots a focused wave of bubbles at the opponent, exploding on contact. It has a chance to lower the opponents Speed one (1) stage from the shock.
Bug Bite: The Pokemon chomps down on the opponent. If there are any berries in the field or on the opponent, it can consume them and receive the benefits of their effect.
Bug Buzz: The Pokemon emits a concentrated sound vibration by quickly vibrating its wings or arms. The intense noise can damage the pokemon’s thought patterns, lowering their Special Defense by one (1) stage.
Bug Opposition: The Pokemon emits a weak vibrational signal on a unique wavelength. The wave disrupts the mental focus of opponents, causing their SpecialAattack to drop one (1) stage.
Bulk Up: The Pokemon focuses their strength and surrounds themselves with a red aura that pumps up all their muscles. Attack and Defense are each increased one (1) stage.
Bullet Seed: The Pokemon shoots a volley of 2-5 energized seeds at the opponent that explode on contact. It can disrupt an opponent’s move that takes a while to charge up.
Attack Power: 3 per hit | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 6 | Effect Chance: --
Butterfly Dance: The Pokemon begins an ancient dance, fluttering its wings and releasing an energized power that surrounds the Pokemon. Until the end of the next round, the Pokemon’s Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed are all increased one (1) stage.
Camouflage: The Pokemon changes its body’s coloring to blend in with the background, making it harder to hit. The entire body of the user changes color except for unique parts such as Kecleon’s stripe. This effect lasts for six (6) actions. Subsequent uses refresh the effect.
Captivate: The Pokemon appeals alluringly to Pokemon of the opposite gender, convincing them to come closer to it and reducing its opponent’s Special Attack by two (2) stages.
Charge: The Pokemon charges its electric energy. The buildup of electric power increases the Pokemon’s Special Defense by one stage. All Electric attacks’ power are boosted by two when the effects of this move are active. This effect lasts for two rounds. Subsequent uses alternate between increasing the potency of the special defense boost by one stage and the duration by one round. The boost to Electric attacks is refreshed.
Charge Beam: The Pokemon builds up a large amount of electricity in its body, and fires a small beam of it at its opponent. The excess electricity has a high chance of increasing the user’s Special Attack by one (1) stage.
Clamp: The Pokemon closes its shell or mouth on an opponent and squeezes hard. During Clamp, both Pokemon may still issue attacks, however any attack using a part of the body implementing the clamp will cause it to release. The steady squeezing of the Clamp drains the opponents HP at the rate of 3 per action for as long as they are Clamped.
Attack Power: 4 + 3 drain per action | Accuracy: 85% | Energy Cost: 4 | Effect Chance: --
Claw Sharpen: The Pokemon sharpens its claws or nails to raise the Attack and Accuracy of its attacks by one (1) stage.
Clear Smog: The Pokemon expels a thick cloud of translucent, asphyxiating smog from its body towards the target. The smog permeates the area surrounding the opponent, making it incapable of missing. The target takes damage and all of its stat modifications are negated.
Close Combat: The Pokemon hurls itself viciously at the opponent and strikes them powerfully multiple times while dropping its guard. Successful execution of this move decreases the user’s Defense and Special Defense by one (1) stage.
Cold Flare: The Pokemon uses an action charging a massive amount of crackling ice energy before releasing it in an incredible attack. The frozen energy is so cold and unstable that rather than freeze the target, it has a chance to burn instead.
Comet Punch: The Pokemon punches the opponent repeatedly at lightning-fast speed.
Attack Power: 2 per hit | Accuracy: 85% | Energy Cost: 4 | Effect Chance: --
Confuse Ray: The Pokemon shoots out a bright beam of light towards its opponent, causing it to become confused. The light can be spread out, but this will decrease its range.
Confusion: The Pokemon uses a weak telekinetic force to pick up and move parts of the arena or its opponent. The nature of the mental strike can confuse the opponent.
Constrict: The Pokemon grabs onto its opponent with vines or tentacles and squeezes them. The constriction inhibits the opponent and lower’s their Speed stat by one (1) stage.
Conversion: The user changes its typing to the same type as a random one of its known moves. This effect lasts for two rounds. Subsequent uses of the move refresh the effect to the same type the Pokemon transformed into the first time.
Conversion 2: The user changes its typing to a random type that resists the last attack it was hit with. This effect lasts for two rounds. Subsequent uses of the move refresh the effect to the same type the Pokemon transformed into the first time.
Copycat: The Pokemon thinks about the opponent’s last attack and repeats it exactly, using the move against its opponent. This move costs the previous move’s energy plus two. This move will fail if; Copycat is the first move used in the battle, the last used move was Copycat, the attack requires more energy than the user has, or the execution of the move is physically impossible (e.g. Pikachu using Megahorn).
Cotton Spore: The Pokemon releases balls of cotton that cling to the opponent, triggering various allergic reactions that slow it down and drop its speed by two (2) stages.
Counter: The Pokemon prepares itself for a physical assault with a strong brownish-red aura. Damage from a physical attack that hits the aura is absorbed and released back at 1.5 times its original strength.
Crabhammer: The Pokemon raises its crustacean claw and smashes the opponent with incredible force. The blow is so devastating it often results in a critical hit.
Cross Chop: The Pokemon crosses it’s arms and unleashes a devastating energy charged blow. The strike is so powerful it often results in a critical hit.
Cross Flame: The Pokemon unleashes a massive vortex of flame from its mouth that crashes into the opponent. If combined with Cross Thunder, its damage increases by 5.
Cross Poison: The Pokemon crosses its claws or wings and coats them with a powerful poison. The attack strikes with great force, so it often results in a critical hit. It also has a chance to poison the foe.
Cross Thunder: The Pokemon unleashes a massive vortex of electricity from its slashing claws that crashes into the opponent. If combined with Cross Flame, it increases damage by 5.
Crunch: The Pokemon’s mouth fills with darkened energy and it bears down on the opponent with its teeth/fangs. The dark energy can inflict a lasting wound on the opponent, lowering their defense one (1) stage.
Crush Claw: The Pokemon’s claws grow white with a vicious energy before attacking the opponent with a powerful direct strike. The fearsome energy has a good chance of lowering the opponent’s defense one (1) stage.
Crush Grip: The Pokemon grips the opponent and siphons their own vitality to use against them in a vicious grappling move. The higher the opponent’s HP, the more damage this attack does.
Curse (Ghost): The Pokemon draws upon an ancient evil, sacrificing 1/2 of its maximum HP to cast a wicked curse on the opponent. While Cursed, the opponent will suffer 5 damage per action that ignores any damage caps, Chills will be half as effective for the target, and if sleep is inflicted or Rest is attempted, the opponent will have restless sleep and gain half its normal health during Rest. Nightmare will also be more effective on an opponent in a Cursed, sleeping state. Curse cannot be used unless the Pokemon is above 1/2 of their maximum HP.
Curse (Non-Ghost): The Pokemon draws strength from negative energy, increasing its Attack and Defense by one (1) stage at the cost of decreasing Speed by one (1) stage.
Cut: The Pokemon cleaves a path through any natural obstruction with a single, powerful slicing motion. It can easily shear grass and split trees in two. It is not effective at clearing rock-based obstructions.
Dark Pulse: The Pokemon emits a wave of darkness imbued with horrible thoughts. The thoughts may interrupt the target's thoughts, causing them to flinch.
Dark Void: The Pokemon creates a void of darkness in a black transluscent orb that launches at the an opponent. The void saps the target's willpower, causing it to fall asleep.
Death Gambit: The Pokemon forms all of its remaning life energy into a ball, which it launches at the opponent. The user faints if this attack succeeds.
Attack Power: Remaining HP (Max 25) | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 20 | Effect Chance: --
Defend Order: The Pokemon gathers a swarm of bees around itself in a protective shield, raising its Defense and Special Defense by one (1) stage.
Defense Curl: The Pokemon curls up into a ball and tenses its muscles, raising its Defense by one (1) stage. Defense will not be dropped at the end of the round.
Defog: The Pokemon rapidly flaps or beats its wings or other appendages, creating a large wind that clears away any obscuring field effects. Defog also clears both sides of the field of any laid hazards.
Destiny Bond: The Pokemon telepathically joins its soul with the foe's for one (1) round. During this time period, if the foe Knocks Out the Pokemon, the foe takes 30% damage.
Detect: The Pokemon focuses completely on its opponent, anticipating and dodging its next attack. The more powerful the attack it dodges (if the attack would hit), the greater energy detect takes. Detect will fail if used on successive actions.
Dig: The Pokemon digs its way under the ground with claws or other appendages, and surfaces beneath its opponent and jumps out of the ground to attack it. The Pokemon may stay underground for an extended length of time, but this costs an additional three (3) energy per action.
Disable: The Pokemon focuses on the memory of the foe's last attack, and uses telepathic powers to erase the memory. This makes the foe unable to use its last used attack for six (6) actions. If the Pokemon was ordered to use the same attack it used last, the move will stop and fail.
Discharge: The Pokemon shoots a wave of dispersing electricity at the opponent. The sheer amount of the electricity gives it a good chance to paralyze the foe.
Dive: The Pokemon dives underwater and surfaces under the opponent to attack them. The Pokemon may stay underwater for an extended period of time, but this costs an additional three (3) energy per action. This move fails if not used in or near water.
Dual Chop: The Pokemon performs two consecutive chops on the opponent.
Attack Power: 4 per hit | Accuracy: 90% | Energy Cost: 6 | Effect Chance: --
Double Hit: The Pokemon strikes the opponent twice with various appendages.

Double Kick: The Pokemon kicks the opponent twice.
Attack Power: 3 per hit | Accuracy:100% | Energy Cost: 4 | Effect Chance: --
Double Team: The Pokemon rapidly moves back and forth between several locations, creating several illusionary clones. The clones make it harder for the opponent to figure out which Pokemon is the real Pokemon, increasing the user's Evasion by one stage. Double Team dissipates once the real Pokemon is hit with an attack. The Pokemon may create up to four clones, however this will take extra energy.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 4 per clone | Effect Chance: --
Double-Edge: The Pokemon slams into the opponent as hard as it possibly can with its entire body. The enormous impact of the move will make the user take 1/3rd of the damage they caused to the opponent as recoil.
Doubleslap:The Pokemon slaps the opponent 2-5 times with their hands or other appendages. It can disrupt an opponent's move that takes a while to charge up.
Attack Power: 2 per hit | Accuracy: 85% | Energy Cost: 4 | Effect Chance:--
Draco Meteor: The Pokemon roars at the sky, summoning a storm of meteors to strike the foe. Summoning the meteor storm uses up a lot of the Pokemon's energy, decreasing their Special Attack by two (2) stages.
Dragon Rush: The Pokemon rushes at the foe while charged with fearsome energy. When the attack hits, the energy may scare the foe and make them flinch.
Dragon Tail: The Pokemon swings and hits the foe powerfully with its tail. The shock of the attack resets all of the opponent's stat changes and snaps it out of confusion and attract. In a switch battle, the Pokemon is sent back to its trainer's Pokeball at the end of a round.
Drain Punch:The Pokemon punches the opponent with all the energy of its punch focused into its hand, which is then used to drain half of the damage caused in HP into the user.
Dream Eater:The Pokemon absorbs the energy of a sleeping Pokemon's dreams, waking them up and restoring half of the damage caused to the foe in HP to the user. This move fails if the target is awake.
Drill Run (Drill Liner): The Pokemon spins rapidly and slams its head or other appendages into the opponent like a drill. Because of the spinning the attack is more likely to penetrate the opponent's defenses unexpectedly, giving it an increased chance for a critical hit.
Dynamicpunch:The Pokemon starts randomly punching the air in front of it extremely powerfully and quickly but not very precisely. If the attack hits, the punch will knock the opponent off balance and knock them over, disorienting and confusing them.
Earth Power: The Pokemon emanates a pulse that travels through the earth causing an eruption of energy at the feet of the target. The suddenness of the blast may lower the target’s Special Defense by one (1) stage.
Earthquake: The Pokemon uses it mighty heft or inherent knowledge of tectonic manipulation to trigger an earthquake. The splitting earth and sudden impact causes major internal and external damage to the target. Trainers are encouraged to exercise caution and common sense when using this attack in certain structures. When Earthquake stikes a Pokemon in the middle of Dig, it's Base Attack Power is 15 instead of 10.
Echo Voice: The Pokemon puffs itself up and yells with a cry welled up from within itself producing an echo wave. For every attack turn this move is used in succession the damage increases by 2. Will have no effect on Soundproof Pokemon.
Egg Bomb: The Pokemon chucks an energized egg which explodes on contact. The Pokemon can also leave the egg on the ground where it will explode by itself at the beginning of the next round. The blast radius is about 8 feet.
Electra Ball: The Pokemon creates a large electrified field around its body and charges at the opponent. It then stops suddenly releasing the ball at full speed.
Electra Net: The Pokemon casts a wide electrified net upon its opponent shocking them and limiting their movement which causes a one (1) stage drop in Speed.
Embargo: The Pokemon declares a cessation to all use of held items for the next two rounds. They and their teammates, however, are naturally not subject to this embargo.
Encore: The Pokemon gives its opponent an enthusiastic round of applause. The target is so flattered it can’t help but repeat its last action for thenext two (2) actions.
Endeavor: The Pokemon recalls the hardships of the match and tries its hardest to pound that experience into its opponent. Will not work if the user has more health than its target.
Endure: The Pokemon braces itself for impact and will not be KO’d by any direct attack, physical or special, for that round. The energy required to tense their muscles mean they cannot use this move two rounds successively. They may still succumb to effects of poison, burn etc…
Energy Ball: The Pokemon gathers all the surrounding natural energy into a ball of life, firing it at the foe. The Pokemon will have trouble accumulating this energy in an artifical environment, reducing the Attack Power by two (2). The attack can sap the target’s resiliency reducing their Special Defense by one (1) stage.
Eruption: The Pokemon draws from its fire source and releases it in a massive fiery explosion. Its power depends on the vitality left in the Pokemon.
Attack Power: 15 x HP Percentage| Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 8 | Effect Chance: --
Evil Eye: The Pokemon stares piercingly at their opponent sending a shock of pain through their body. The pain is exacerbated (damage doubled) by any ill health or status effects the target is suffering. The attack can be avoided by deliberately looking away or shutting one’s eyes.
Explosion: The Pokemon mechanically, through the mixing of noxious gases, or simply by release of pent up pressure creates a massive explosion, fainting itself and causing massive damage to the opponent.

During Fire Spin, both Pokemon can still issue attacks, however any further breath or cannon attacks issued from the same source will release Fire Spin. The opponent will suffer more intense damage if it tries to break out of the flames with normal attacks.
Attack Power: 4 + 2 drain per action | Accuracy: 85% | Energy Cost: 3 | Effect Chance: --
Fissure: The Pokémon uses brute force and/or an energy beam to open a fissure in the ground right under the opponent, dashing them against the cracks and shifts in the earth. The move is slow, but extremely powerful and alters the battlefield, allowing either Pokemon to be pushed into the chasm later. It can only be used on hard earth.
Flail: The Pokémon flails around, striking the foe as it does so. It becomes more powerful the lower the user’s health is, but also consumes more energy. Consecutive uses increase the energy consumed.
Flame Burst: The Pokémon shoots out a massive burst of fire that leaves embers on the ground around the foe. It also damages any opponents nearby the target.

Focus Blast: The Pokémon puts its hands together, and charges a ball of energy it fires at the foe. It has a chance to lower the target’s Special Defense one (1) stage.
Focus Energy: The Pokémon charges an aura that guides the user to an opponent’s weak point, making critical hits more likely for the next six (6) actions.
Focus Punch: The Pokémon’s fist glows white, gathering a massive amount of energy. While charging the pokemon must maintain absolute focus, or else the attack will fail.
Force Palm: The Pokémon charges energy on its palm that it uses to strike the opponent. Upon impact, the energy has a chance to paralyze the opponent’s muscles.

Gear Saucer: The Pokemon flies towards the opponent, hitting twice with rapidly spinning gears. Energy cost is decreased to 6 if Gear Change is in effect.
Giga Drain: The Pokemon fires a red beam at the opponent that engulfs it and saps its HP back to the user. Half the damage inflicted on the opponent is healed.
Giga Impact: The Pokemon delivers an incredible blow, powerful beyond its usual ability. The impact may send lighter Pokemon flying. The Pokemon will be more sluggish if it attempts to attack on its next action.
Glare: The Pokemon locks eyes with its opponent with a look that paralyzes with an intense fear. The victim will retain this fear for the remainder of the battle (or until healed of paralysis) causing them to move with extreme hesitation, occasionally locking up again. The effects of this move can be avoided if the victim makes a deliberate attempt to look away or close their eyes.
Go Ahead: The Pokemon courteously allows its foe or ally to take their action first, disregarding speed values. The move, despite having an added energy cost, does not use up the user’s turn. Thus a faster Pokemon can use Go Ahead, allowing their slower target to act first, and then use their own command with the regular energy cost +2.
Grass Knot: The Pokemon’s eyes glow with a green aura briefly controlling the grass and underbrush in an area. They then rope the opponent around their ankle and pull, sending the opponent crashing to the ground. A heavier Pokemon will take more damage than a light one. A Grass type Pokemon may use their own vine, root or leafy appendage to use this move, but a non-Grass type will have to rely on any available plant-life. If there is none available, this move is unusable.
Grass Mixer: The Pokemon catches its opponent in a whirlwind of grass obscuring their vision for that action. There is a 30% chance some of the grit may get into the victim’s eyes lowering their accuracy by one stage.
Grass Oath: The Pokemon creates a large column of grass and foliage which can be directed at an opponent. An effect comes about if the column collides with Water Oath or Fire Oath.
Grasswhistle: The Pokemon folds a leaf or large blade of grass and blows into it like a primitive flute. The soothing song can lull any listening opponent to sleep. If the music is interrupted the effect will fail, though the longer any Pokemon listens to the song, the more relaxed they will become. Even if the music does not put them to sleep, the move can be used to calm down a user of such rage-based moves like Outrage, Thrash, and Uproar.
Gravity: The Pokemon greatly increases the gravity in the arena for two rounds. Any airborne or levitating Pokemon are stuck earthbound and moves that require flight or jumping cannot be performed. Furthermore, all Pokemon move with much greater difficulty, though their relative speeds remain consistent. Attacks that are normally easy to evade are now much harder to avoid.
Growl: The Pokemon emits a low growl, endearingly or threateningly depending on the user. Upon hearing this growl, any opponent in range is more hesitant to apply full force, lowering their Attack by one (1) stage. The opponents Attack will not increase at the end of the round.
Growth: The Pokemon concentrates on directing nutrients and vitamins to specific areas in its body, or plant, increasing Attack and Special Attack by one (1) stage for two rounds. If a Grass-type uses this move in intense sunlight, both stats will be boosted by two (2) stages each, and Energy Cost will be increased by 2.
Grudge: The Pokemon prepares a curse. If KO’d during that round Grudge is in effect, the curse is enacted. The move that was used to KO the user of Grudge will not be usable for the rest of the match, even if the Pokemon is switched out.
Guard Share: A psychic link is formed between the user and target Pokemon, evening out their attributes. For the next two rounds, both Pokemon share the averages of their Defense and Special Defense ratings. Subsequent uses will reverse the effect. The energy cost of the attack depends on the total change differential from both pokemon (e.g. the average of * and ***** is ***, and therefore the differential costs 4 energy. If the differential average is less than one, stats are unaffected, but 1 energy is consumed). Any changes that result in ties will bias the split to the Pokemon with the higher original stat.
Guard Swap: The Pokemon mentally swaps defensive boosts with the opponent. Their Defense and Special Defense stats are now swapped for two rounds, taking into account any previous stat changes.
Guillotine: The Pokemon funnels a massive, unstable amount of energy into its pincers and goes for the opponent’s weak point. The energy is difficult to control and thus the attack is incredibly inaccurate, however if it strikes it deals intense damage.
Gunk Shot: The Pokemon spews a disgusting mass of poison at their opponent at high velocity. The move has a chance of poisoning. If the user is a Poison type, the poisoning will be the potent Toxic-like variety.
Gust: The Pokemon creates a small but vicious whirlwind, usually by flapping its wings, that can toss lighter Pokemon around. It can be used to clear the air of smogs, smokes, and powders.
Gyro Ball: The Pokemon starts rotating extremely fast creating a dense center of gravity, before tackling their opponent.
Attack Power: 3+ ((enemy speed-user speed) x2 if target is judged to have been moving fast at the time of being hit) max:15 | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 6 | Effect Chance: --

V-Generate: The Pokemon engulfs itself in flames and charges toward the opponent, inflicting massive damage. The Pokemon's Defense, Special Defense and Speed are lowered as a result of this attack.
Vital Throw: The Pokemon waits for the opponent to attack before picking them up and throwing them away. If the user moves last, then this attack is guaranteed to hit.
Volt Change:[Switch=KO] The Pokemon strikes the opponent with electricity before dashing off in a different direction, outpacing even trapping abilities. [Switch=OK] The Pokemon strikes the opponent with electricity before dashing off back to its trainer, outpacing even trapping abilities. At the end of the round, the Pokemon will return to its Pokeball, getting rid of any stat-boosts and status afflictions. The Pokemon is then forced to switch. The trainer will issue their attacks first next round.
Volt Tackle: The Pokemon engulfs itself in electricity and slams into the foe. As a result of this attack, the user takes 1/3 of the damage that it dealt to the opponent.
Wake-Up Slap: The Pokemon slaps the opponent violently, both inflicting damage and healing the foe from sleep. Its power is doubled if used on a sleeping foe.
Water Pulse: The Pokemon fires a ring of water at the foe to inflict damage. Due to the force of the water, this attack has a chance to confuse the opponent.
Water Sport: The Pokemon sprays water across the arena to lower the effect of Fire-type moves. It reduces Fire damage by three (3) for the six (6) actions after the initial use.
Waterlog: The Pokemon grabs the opponent and plunges them into a pool of water along with a catalyst, submerging them for so long that they become a Water-type. The effect lasts for six (6) actions after the initial use.
Weather Ball: The Pokemon gathers a ball of weather energy and fires it at the opponent. Its power doubles if Sunny, Rainy, Hail or Sandstorm conditions are in effect. It also changes type to match the weather.
Whirlpool: The Pokemon traps the opponent in a swirling tornado of water. During Whirlpool, both trainers may still issue attacks, however the whirlpool user must still maintain their focus or the whirlpool will collapse. The violent rotation and force of whirlpool drains the opponent of 2 HP per action as long as Whirlpool is in effect.
Attack Power: 4 + 2 drain per action | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 5 | Effect Chance: --
Whirlwind:[Switch=KO] The Pokemon launches a wind of amazing and terrifying force, causing the opponent to lose all sense of its physical and mental state, resetting its stat chances and effects like confusion. The wind can blow lighter Pokemon away into objects on the field. [Switch=OK] The Pokemon launches a wind of amazing and terrifying force, scaring the opponent back into their Pokeball at the end of the round. The opponent must choose a different Pokemon to send out next round, however the trainer that commanded Whirlwind must attack first.
Wide Guard: The Pokemon dashes in front of its allies and releases a pulse that expands horizontally and vertically (but not forward) at amazing speed. The pulse blocks all moves with a wide area of attack (target all opponents e.g. Heat Wave/Rock Slide), even in single battles. The pulse cannot be generated on consecutive actions.
Wild Bolt: The Pokemon charges its body with large emounts of electricity and recklessly tackles the opponent. It suffers recoil equal to 25% of the damage done.
Will-O-Wisp: The Pokemon creats a blue-white ghostly flame that floats into the opponent, searing them with internal burns. Although it does no damage, it always burns the foe.
Windstorm: The Pokemon generates a violent, withering hurricane with a wind so fierce it jams out sound. The lost of hearing and intense physical pressure have a chance to confuse the opponent. The attack has perfect accuracy during rain and a 30% chance to break through Protect.
Wish: The Pokemon funnels its energy into a small white sphere that is released into the sky. At the end of the next round, a large, energized sphere plummets from the sky onto the Pokemon, restoring 20 HP. If the Pokemon is KO'd or switched, its replacement receives the boon.
Withdraw: The pokemon withdraws into its shell, which glows a bright crimson, increasing its defense one (1) stage. Defense will not be decreased at the end of the round.
Wonder Room: The Pokemon releases a purple wave that surrounds the entire arena. While in effect, the Base Defense and Base Special Defense of Pokemon on the field is switched. This effect lasts for five (5) rounds.
Wood Hammer: The Pokemon energizes one of its limbs with dangerously unstable natural energy and recklessly charges the opponent. The Pokemon recieves 33% of the damage dealt in recoil.
Wood Horn: The Pokemon surrounds its antlers with a dark red energy and jabs them into the opponent violently, sapping them on contact. Half of the damage inflicted is healed.
Worry Seed: The Pokemon generates and fires a small sedd at the impact. Upon contact it explodes, releasing a nervous gas that overrides the opponents natural genetic structure. The opponent's abilities will be changed to Insomnia for the next six (6) actions.
Wrap: The Pokemon wraps themselves around the opponent with their arms, body, or other appendages and locks them into place. During Wrap, both Pokemon may still issue attacks, however any attack using a part of the body implementing the bind will cause it to release. The steady squeezing of a Bind drains the opponents HP at the rate of 2 per action for as long as they are in the bind.
Attack Power: 3 + 2 drain per action | Accuracy: 90% | Energy Cost: 3 | Effect Chance: --
Wring Out: The Pokemon wraps themselves around the opponent and taps into the opponents vitality reserves, forcing them against the opponent. The higher the opponent's HP, the more damage Wring Out does.
X-Scissor: The Pokemon holds up its hands or hand=like appendages, which begin to glow with a white light. It then slashes diagonally downward at its foe with them.
Yawn: The Pokemon yawns loudly, forcing the opponent to think of sleeping and making them drowsy. The opponent will fall asleep three (3) actions after they are made drowsy. This move will fail if the opponent cannot hear the user.
Zap Cannon: The Pokemon charges a large ball of concentrated electricity, and fires it at the foe. As the ball moves slowly it is easy to evade. If the attack hits, the extreme concentration of the electricity will paralyze the foe.
Zen Headbutt: The Pokemon focuses all its willpower to its head, and rams the foe head-on. The focused willpower may disrupt the opponent's own will, causing it to flinch.

Reason: First Draft DONE! w00t!
Well, I was also going to propose that moves such as Water Gun and Hydro Pump essentially be higher levels of one another. As in, once attaining a certain level of mastery over Water Gun, you would be able to learn Hydro Pump at beginner-level, which would presumably be roughly equivalent in power to mastered Water Gun. A an example of some moves which be higher levels of one another would be:
Why would Ember and Fire Blast not be on the same track? The means of Fire-propulsion are presumably different. Fire Blast creates a star of Fire, and as a result is totally different from other fire moves. Flamethrower is just a straight stream of fire. Ember and Overheat both seem to be smaller streams which become an eruption upon contact with the opponent. I would ask others to work out the full list, as I don't want to do it by myself <_>;
The thing is that some of the assumptions you make about move propulsion are false. For instance, your water moves track. Water Pulse is either a pulsing ring of water or a ball that explodes on contact. And Hydro Pump is not necessarily a single stream of water either;many jets of water are fired and they are far more pressurized than a Water Gun.
Or take the Poison track. Poison Gas is a general release of gas out of any part of the body. However, Toxic is generally a concentrated projectile stream fired out of the mouth (if appliable).
In conclusion, all moves are unique and should be mastered seperately.
While I'm not opposed to the idea of mastery for attacks, I definitely do not want different attacks tracked into each other. For one it's an entirely arbitrary process and for two, the system is already complicated enough with 550+ different moves. Getting tracking charts that take all that into account is a nightmare of its own order.
I would however say that if you have the same Type as an attack, that attack will begin at "Good" level mastery. It's non-STAB attacks that should require more practice to master, since typing should grant innate benefits.

Sounds cool. One modification I'd like to suggest is that is a Pokemon has two typings, it only gets its STAB starting at Decent because of split training/innate ability.
(I realize this is a lol first post and Smogon tends to respect experience and good standing, but I’ve lurked for a while and played ASB elsewhere - so hopefully I’m not speaking from total ignorance.)
Couple of thoughts:
The idea of implementing a stat scale to act as a sort of equalizer is a good one - on the other hand, it may not go far enough. The major draw of ASB, I think, is the possibility of using clever strategies and nonstandard techniques to do well with Pokémon who aren't normally competitive, and that's worth encouraging. My favorite method of taking base stats into account (the last ASB I was in bascially left it up to the refs) was to judge a Pokémon not against others, but against itself. Basically, the Atk/Def/SpA/SpD spread would be used to give a small bonus or penalty to each stat, always adding to 0. For example, Absol (130/60/75/60) might act as if it had inherent modifiers of +2/-1/0/-1. This takes the differences between Pokémon into account while keeping a level playing field. It's totally stolen from this page, by the way; there's a little more explanation there if you want it (it's the last section).
(This doesn't handle HP or Speed, obviously; though I agree that those should be differentiated as well, I have to say that giving anything a base health of other than 100 per cent is just inherently wrong. It would make me very very sad.)
Re: the economic system: is one really necessary? This may just have been my experience, but what with the sheer length of battles, having to go through x of them to buy another mon or evolve one you already had was an awful grind. Running a business was fun, if you could find a decent niche, but trying to scrape together money by reffing and battling was a lot of work for not much reward (and what reward there was had to be crossposted in umpteen different ways before it could be put to use).
Isn't a win/loss record, or a ladder ranking, enough? Why not take a leaf from the book of the rest of online competitive Pokémon, and let each player declare a team - privately to the ref, if they like - before each battle? It skips the grind, it makes it easier to experiment with different mons, and it sidesteps the issues of leveling, evolving, attack mastery, etc. Admittedly, it takes away the most obvious form of compensation for refs, but since the money's all pretend anyway, I'm sure some other intangible boon could be substituted.
I would support a Smogon ASB every step of the way. So much fun!

Technically speaking an economic system is not neccesarry for the league to function since the primary activity is battling, however it does add substantial depth and avoids the stagnation that occurs when your ref takes a while to do each round. Since reffing takes substantially more time/skill than battling the economic system is supposed to incentivize refs to do it for reasons other than the "fun" of it. Some people are motivated by creative writing, but giving refs a substantial financial advantage to make up for their increased time and effort provides a semblance of balance. Refs have less time to battle themselves but will be able to visit shops to evolve/catch or train more often.
So the battling system is key and it's why we're doing it first. Everything else is supposed to add more depth to the experience and make it a fun place to go to and look into generally.
As far as statistics, I am open to changes but I'm not too keen on the idea of comparing a Pokemon to itself. Blissey's bigass HP isn't reflected in giving it -2/-2/0/+4 Atk/Def/SpA/Spe. What the star system tries to do is the following:
a) Normalize statistics to cluster pokemon together more than the game's inherent values.
b) Simultaneously showcase each of the Pokemon's unique advantages and disadvantages.
The object of the first is to make it so each Pokemon is about as viable vs more opponents than they otherwise would be in game. Absol still hits significantly harder with its physical attacks than the average Pokemon, but it isn't wiped out by strong offenses of other Pokemon either. In other words, in normal battle conditions Absol would do about 3 points more damage per attack with its physical attacks to a pokemon with average defenses, while taking normal damage from a pokemon with average attack scores. Considering Absol is the only Pokemon in its evolution line, this makes it much more attractive indeed than it is in-cartridge. Similar can be said of Skarmory, who dishes out average damage with physical attacks but takes 3 points less damage per attack from physical attacks. Now Skarmory has always been popular in OU, unlike Absol, but suffice it to say Skarmory and Absol are basically statistically equal in value (well, Skarm's SpA is weak but eh.)
The effect is more pronounced when you consider things like Spinda and Glalie are statistically "average Pokemon." While they don't have any distinct advantages, neither are they truly hampered by having lousy stat distribution. They're now pooled in with Kingdra basically, barring some Speed differences.
As far as some of the unsightly HP values, I've been unable to come up with a way to represent HP in the defenses. Since there's not really EV's in ASB, you can either default to GSC where everything walls everything or else make it so some attack effects are more useful. For example Blissey having insane HP and terrible defense means that every time something smacks it with Drain Punch they will get gobs of HP. Leech Seed can also be written in a way to sap say 10% of the Pokemon's Maximum HP prer round, which in Blissey's case would be 14 per round, same as Seeding a Blissey in-game. Not to mention that low HP Ghosts using Pain Split can wear Blissey down a bunch, then Pain Split for massive damage. Even on the first turn it would bring Blissey down by 20% HP if used by Gengar or 25% by Dusclops. Ghost Curse + Pain Split is pretty much a surefire way to slaughter whatever advantage Blissey might have had by having such a massive HP to buffer its poor physical defense. Granted these attacks still need a balanced interpretation in the attack list, but essentially any effect that would make having High HP a liability in-game would have the same effect in ASB.
Although to be fair, yes, Blissey is still very powerful, however because of the way ASB operates you'll have to start with a Happiny first and Happiny is deplorable statistically.
btw. that site you linked to is insanely epic. I'm going to link the main page in the OP.

Welcome to Smogon! Smogon is usually biased towards expericenced users...but this is ASB. Nobody is an experienced ASB'er besides like three people.
The reason for using the star system is so that base stats don't get totally out of hand, but there is some flexibility. About 60% or so of all stats of fully evolved Pokemon are three stars, because each star encompasses a wide range. Stat ratings are just so insane things don't happen.
Partially agreeing with you about the businesses. I agree that it takes too many battles to get any currency worth having, we should tone that down. But there has to be something at stake, so we need some sort of economic system.
That guide is pretty cool. Deck, might be a good idea to specify that those aren't the exact rules we're using. In addition, I think starting with single-stage Pokemon should be disallowed, as they are disproportionately strong and can easily rip apart NFEs.
EDIT: Ninja'd

Feel free to VM/PM me if you need grunt work or statistics to trawl through. (I am going away for a while quite soon, so maybe not immediately.)
EDIT: Sent in my five move test. I'm perfectly happy to play or moderate, although I am going to have major issues, what with me going away for the holidays (Two weeks without the interwebs? Nooooooo!) and schoolwork once I get back. I'll do Q on the move list. ;)
Quick Attack: The Pokemon moves at extraordinary speed, striking the opponent before they can move.
Sounds fun. I will try to get my test done later today. I already am writing anime style battles, so it shouldn't be that hard to jump to reffing/battling.

Crap, I'm going on vacation and didn't finish C yet. I got most of it done, so might as well post here. If somebody else wants to finish they can, or I'll finish it when I get back.
...
Calm Mind: The Pokemon meditates on its special capabilities, increasing their Special Attack and Special Defense The effect lasts for two rounds after the initial use. Subsequent uses of the attack will alternate between increasing the potency by 1 stage and the duration by 1 round (in that order). The effect of this move ends if the user's meditation is disrupted.
Attack Power: --| Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:7 | Effect Chance:--
Camouflage: The Pokemon changes its body’s coloring to blend in with the background, making it harder to hit. The entire body of the user changes color except for unique parts such as Kecleon’s stripe. This effect lasts for two rounds. Subsequent uses refresh the effect. This move takes three energy and works faster when Kecleon uses it, being a natural move to it.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:5 | Effect Chance:--
Captivate: The Pokemon appeals alluringly to Pokemon of the opposite gender, convincing them to come closer to it and lowering their Special Attack by 2 stages for the next two rounds. Subsequent uses will alternate between reducing the opponent’s Special Attack by 1 stage and the effect duration by 1 round.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:6 | Effect Chance:--
Charge: The Pokemon charges its electric energy. All electric attacks’ power are boosted by two when the effects of this move are active, as well as launching more quickly and costing two more energy to execute. This effect lasts for two rounds. Subsequent uses of the move increase the duration by one round, as well as the power boost by one and energy expended on electric attacks by one.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:-- | Effect Chance:--
Charge Beam: The Pokemon builds up a large amount of electricity in its body, and fires a small beam of it at its opponent. The excess electricity has a high chance of increasing the user’s Special Attack by one stage. This effect lasts for two rounds. Subsequent activations of this effect increase potency by one stage and duration by one round.
Attack Power:5 | Accuracy:90% | Energy Cost:3 | Effect Chance:70%
Charm: The Pokemon appears cute and charming to the opponent, making it less willing to attack it, lowering their Attack by 2 stages for the next two rounds. Subsequent uses will alternate between reducing the opponent’s Attack by 1 stage and the effect duration by 1 round.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:6 | Effect Chance:--
Chatter: The Pokemon yells meaningless statements at the opponent loudly. It has a chance to confuse the opponent.
Attack Power:6 | Accuracy:100% | Energy Cost:4 | Effect Chance:20%
Cheer Up: The Pokemon thinks happy thoughts about the battle, simulating its brain to to raise its Special Attack and Attack by one stage. The effect lasts for two rounds after the initial use. Subsequent uses of the attack will alternate between increasing the potency by 1 stage and the duration by 1 round (in that order). The effect ends if the Pokemon is stopped from thinking its happy thoughts.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:7 | Effect Chance:--
Clamp: The Pokemon closes its shell or mouth on an opponent and squeezes hard. During Clamp, both Pokemon may still issue attacks, however any attack using a part of the body implementing the clamp will cause it to release. The steady squeezing of a Clamp drains the opponents HP at the rate of 2 per action for as long as they are in the clamp.
Attack Power:3 + 2 drain per action | Accuracy:85 | Energy Cost:3 | Effect Chance:--
Claw Sharpen: The Pokemon sharpens its claws or nails to raise its Attack and accuracy of its physical attacks by one stage. The effect lasts for two rounds after the initial use. Subsequent uses of the attack will alternate between increasing the potency by 1 stage and the duration by 1 round (in that order). The effect ends if the user's claws or nails are dulled or removed.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:7 | Effect Chance:--
Clear Smog: The Pokemon expels a thick cloud of smog from its body towards the target. The target takes damage and all of its stat modifications are negated.
Attack Power:5 | Accuracy:101% | Energy Cost:4 | Effect Chance:--
Close Combat: The Pokemon hurls itself viciously at the opponent and strikes them powerfully multiple times while dropping its guard. Successful execution of this move decreases Defense and Special Defense of the user by one stage. This effect lasts for two rounds.
Attack Power:12 | Accuracy:100% | Energy Cost:8 | Effect Chance:--
Coil Around: The Pokemon coils its body around and around tightly, putting intense pressure on its muscles to raise its Defense, Attack, and accuracy by one stage.

The effect ends if the Pokemon's muscles are relaxed.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:9 | Effect Chance:--
Cold Flare: The Pokemon shoots a powerful beam of burning ice at its opponent. It has a chance to burn its target. This move must be charged for one round before it is used. When the Pokemon is commanded to use the attack, it begins charging. The attack will execute one round after its command is given. If the Pokemon is attacked with a power of 6 or more when it is charging, the charging stops and the move is not executed. If this happens, the Pokemon expends six energy.
Attack Power:14 | Accuracy:90% | Energy Cost:10 | Effect Chance:30%
Comet Punch: The Pokemon punches the opponent repeatedly at lightning-fast speed. It can disrupt an opponent’s move that takes a while to charge up.
Attack Power:2 per hit | Accuracy:85% | Energy Cost:3 | Effect Chance:--
Confuse Ray: The Pokemon shoots out a bright beam of light towards its opponent, causing it to become confused. The light can be spread out, but this will decrease its range.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:100% | Energy Cost:5 | Effect Chance:--
Confusion: The Pokemon uses a weak telekinetic force to pick up and move parts of the arena or its opponent. A Pokemon cannot use this force to pick up something much heavier or larger than it. Note that Psychic-types can pick up much larger things than Pokemon that do not get STAB on this attack due to their greater mastery of telekinesis.
Attack Power:5 | Accuracy:100% | Energy Cost:3 | Effect Chance:10%
Constrict: The Pokemon grabs onto its opponent with vines or tentacles and squeezes them. During Constrict, both Pokemon may still issue attacks, however any attack using a part of the body implementing the constriction will cause it to release. The steady squeezing of a Constrict drains the opponents HP at the rate of 2 per action for as long as they are in the constriction.
Attack Power:3 + 2 drain per action | Accuracy:85% | Energy Cost:3 | Effect Chance:--
Conversion: The user changes its typing to the same type as a random one of its known moves. This effect lasts for two rounds after the initial use. Subsequent uses of the move refresh the effect to the same type the Pokemon transformed into during its initial use.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:5 | Effect Chance:--
Conversion 2: The user changes its typing to a random type that resists the last attack it was hit with. This effect lasts for two rounds after the initial use. Subsequent uses of the move refresh the effect to the same type the Pokemon transformed into during its initial use.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:5 | Effect Chance:--
Copycat: The Pokemon thinks about the opponent’s last attack and repeats it exactly, using the move against its opponent. This move will fail if; Copycat is the first move used in the battle, the last used move was Copycat, the attack requires more energy than the user has, or the execution of the move is physically impossible (e.g. Pikachu using Megahorn).
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:6 | Effect Chance:--
Cosmic Power: The user calls down mystical power from heaven to boost its Defense and Special Defense by one stage. The effect lasts for two rounds after the initial use. Subsequent uses of the attack will alternate between increasing the potency by 1 stage and the duration by 1 round (in that order). This move will fail if the arena is not open to the sky (e.g. indoors).
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:7 | Effect Chance:--
Cotton Guard: The Pokemon gathers cotton around itself to raise its defense by three stages. The effect lasts for two rounds after the initial use. Subsequent uses of the attack will alternate between increasing the potency by 1 stage and the duration by 1 round (in that order). The effect ends if the cotton is removed from the Pokemon or if there is no available cotton.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:9 | Effect Chance:--
Cotton Spore: The Pokemon releases balls of cotton that cling to the opponent, triggering various allergic reactions that slow it down and drop its speed by two stages. The effect lasts for two rounds after the initial use. Subsequent uses of the attack will alternate between increasing the potency by 1 stage and the duration by 1 round (in that order). This move fails if there is no available cotton or if the opponent is unable to have allergic reactions.
Attack Power:-- | Accuracy:-- | Energy Cost:7 | Effect Chance:--

Ok, I've been assigned E, but I'm on holiday for the next two weeks and I have rather limited internet access for most of it. I'll see what I can dredge up.

I have "F." Also, I sent the PM, but how are we treating OHKO moves. I've been going with 150 BP and 30 accuracy at the moment, but there's probably a better way.

Well then who has D...probably Deck took it but not sure.
Rediamond in the ASB I played OHKO moves are extremely powerful but not OHKO require a ton of energy (I would say round 15 to 20) and can only be used by each Pokemon once per match. Maybe ask Deck about it. Also remember that something with 150 ingame power we count as 15.
Cool. Another public service announcement fo anyone who cares. Remember accuracy is subjective. Zap Cannon will not miss at point blank range and Bullet Punch for example will miss from ten meters away.
OK, for now Fissure is a 20 Attack, 15 Energy, 80 accuracy move.
As the move is trap based though, it is still very likely to KO a heavy opponent that can't levitate or fly, as the chances of escaping the fissure... about 35%. Not much really changed.

Just to be clear on this, OHKO Moves are an entire category of cluster**** unto themselves and we'll probably work on a final resolution to what they do later. For now do your best with the descriptions.
I'm almost done with B now, will have it up tonight.

[17:55] <+Mos_Quitoxe> can we make him change it or force him to pay damages
[17:55] <&Deck_Knight> It would be a lot easier for him to Cite and Prune if we made him a mod.
[17:56] <&Deck_Knight> I delegate this task to Birkal.
[17:57] <Birkal> >:|
G is done. Please let me know what and where needs to be changed. I improvised with Guillotine, and will change it if we come to a consensus of how 1HKO moves work.
...
Gastro Acid: The Pokemon hurls up its stomach acid onto the foe, drenching it. Its digestive enzymes break down the victim’s use of their Ability. This effect lasts for two rounds.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 5 | Effect Chance: --
Gear Change: The Pokemon restructures their gear arrangement to make the mechanism more efficient, raising their speed by two levels and attack by one level. Subsequent uses will increase speed by one level. After two rounds, the gears lock back to their previous positions.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 7 | Effect Chance: --
Gear Saucer: The Pokemon flies towards the opponent, hitting twice with rapidly spinning gears. Energy cost is halved to 4 if Gear Change is in effect.
Attack Power: 5+5 | Accuracy: 85% | Energy Cost: 8 | Effect Chance: --
Gift Pass: The Pokemon kindly gives its foe or ally a held item. The target will respectfully decline if they are already holding an item.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 2 | Effect Chance: --
Giga Drain: The Pokemon fires a red beam at the opponent that engulfs it and saps its HP back to the user. Half the damage inflicted on the opponent is healed.
Giga Impact: The Pokemon delivers an incredible blow, powerful beyond its usual ability. The impact may send lighter Pokemon flying. The sheer force required for the attack will require the user to use its next two actions resting. If the Pokemon uses Giga Impact as its third action, it will start the next round resting for two actions.
Attack Power: 15 | Accuracy: 90% | Energy Cost: 10 | Effect Chance: --
Glare: The Pokemon locks eyes with its opponent with a look that paralyzes with an intense fear. The victim will retain this fear for the remainder of the battle (or until healed of paralysis) causing them to move with extreme hesitation, occasionally locking up again. The effects of this move can be avoided if the victim makes a deliberate attempt to look away or close their eyes.
Go Ahead: The Pokemon courteously allows its foe or ally to take their action first, disregarding speed values. The move, despite having an added energy cost, does not use up the user’s turn. Thus a faster Pokemon can use Go Ahead, allowing their slower target to act first, and then use their own command with the regular energy cost +2.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 2 | Effect Chance: --
Grass Knot: The Pokemon ropes their opponent around the ankle and pulls sending them crashing to the ground. A heavier Pokemon will take more damage than a light one. A Grass type Pokemon may use their own vine, root or leafy appendage to use this move, but a non-Grass type will have to rely on any available plant-life. If there is none available, this move is unusable.
Attack Power: 0.1 - 22 lb. 2| Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 5 | Effect Chance: -- 22.1 - 55 lb. 4 55.1 - 110 lb. 6 110.1 - 220 lb. 8 220.1 - 440 lb. 100 440.1 lb. or more 120
Grass Mixer: The Pokemon catches its opponent in a whirlwind of grass obscuring their vision for that action. There is a 30% chance some of the grit may get into the victim’s eyes lowering their accuracy by one stage.
Grass Oath: The Pokemon creates a large column of grass and foliage which can be directed at an opponent. An effect comes about if the column collides with Water Oath or Fire Oath.
Attack Power: 5 | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 3 | Effect Chance: --
Grasswhistle: The Pokemon folds a leaf or large blade of grass and blows into it like a primitive flute. The soothing song can lull any listening opponent to sleep. If the music is interrupted the effect will fail, though the longer any Pokemon listens to the song, the more relaxed they will become. Even if the music does not put them to sleep, the move can be used to calm down a user of such rage-based moves like Outrage, Thrash, and Uproar.
Gravity: The Pokemon greatly increases the gravity in the arena for two rounds. Any airborne or levitating Pokemon are stuck earthbound and moves that require flight or jumping cannot be performed. Furthermore, all Pokemon move with much greater difficulty, though their relative speeds remain consistent. Attacks that are normally easy to evade are now much harder to avoid. Trainers are reduced to yelling out commands flat on their belly.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 8 | Effect Chance: --
Growl: The Pokemon emits a low growl, endearingly or threateningly depending on the user. Upon hearing this growl, the opponent is more hesitant to apply full force, lowering their Attack by one stage for two rounds. Subsequent uses increase the duration by one round but don’t reduce the stat.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 3 | Effect Chance: --
Growth: The Pokemon concentrates on directing nutrients and vitamins to specific areas in its body, or plant, increasing Attack and Special Attack by one stage for two rounds. Subsequent uses raise the stats by one stage for one extra round. If a Grass-type uses this move in intense sunlight, both stats will be boosted by two stages each, but again, with only a one stage boost for each subsequent use.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 5 | Effect Chance: --
Grudge: The Pokemon prepares a curse. If KO’d during that round Grudge is in effect, the curse is enacted. The move that was used to KO the user, will not be usable for the rest of the match, even if the Pokemon is switched out.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 8 | Effect Chance: --
Guard Share: The trainer conspires with the referee to calculate the next two rounds of damage by averaging the defensive ratings of the two Pokemon upon a special signal initiated by the user’s Pokemon. Both Pokemon now share the averages of their Defense and Special Defense ratings. Can only be used once per match.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 5 | Effect Chance: --
Guard Swap: The Pokemon mentally swaps defensive ratings with their opponent. Their Defense and Special Defense stats are now swapped for two rounds, taking into account any previous stat changes.
Guillotine: The Pokemon attempts to hold its victim in a vise or pincer and squeezes mercilessly. This attack is always evaded, but will catch a Pokemon whose stamina has dropped to 30% or below, or one that is sleeping at the time of this attack’s use. Once caught (and awakened), the victim has a 70% chance to escape, otherwise, they will be KO’d. Will never KO a Pokemon with Solid Rock or Sturdy as an ability.
Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: 30% | Energy Cost: 10 | Effect Chance: --
Gunk Shot: The Pokemon spews a disgusting mass of poison at their opponent at high velocity. The move has a chance of poisoning. If the user is a Poison type, the poisoning will be the potent Toxic-like variety.
Attack Power: 12 | Accuracy: 70% | Energy Cost: 6 | Effect Chance: 30%
Gust: The Pokemon creates a small but vicious whirlwind, usually by flapping its wings, that can toss lighter Pokemon around. It can be used to clear the air of smogs, smokes, and powders.
Attack Power: 4 | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 2 | Effect Chance: --
Gyro Ball: The Pokemon starts rotating extremely fast creating a dense center of gravity, before it tackling their opponent.
Attack Power: 3+((enemy speed-user speed)x2 if target is judged to have been moving fast at the time of being hit) max:15 | Accuracy: 100% | Energy Cost: 6 | Effect Chance: --
I also left the effect of Grass Oath mixing with the Water and Fire variants open.
Looks cool Cartoons. However I feel that some of you energy costs are a bt low.. For example Giga Drain should definitely use more than five energy as it has eight power and an energy draining effect.
Although Deck should probably be commenting on this.
