Auto-Gravity would be nuts; if that thing is even allowed to touch OU, Mamoswine sure won't, since pretty much all its counters rely on immunities to Ground. Also, there's the matter of everything's evasion being lowered by two stages; prepare to abuse ~95%-accurate Hypnosis and 100%-accurate Fire Blast/Stone Edge/Blizzard!

Granted, I already do this with my sweet-ass Gravity team, but to have it in constant effect would, again, be nuts.
 
Even an item that makes Gravity in effect for longer(like Damp and Heat Rocks) would be great :D

I'd be pretty happy :)

If Stealth Rock itself isn't nerfed, I'd like a lot more Pokemon to get Rapid Spin(Miltank etc). Maybe about 30 Pokemon could get it, 5-10 in OU? That would probably kill off Stealth Rock, but I think that's good ;D
 
Like last Gen, ReshiraM and ZekroM end in the same letter. (DialgA, PalkiA, and oh look, GiratinA!). Perhaps we have the last letter of the third legendary within the trillo.

It wouldn't be allowed to touch OU. Instead of banning Mamoswine or anything else, the Pokemon causing all the problems would be banned.
 
About the Encourage ability again, I *think* I know what the first missing kanji is, but I cannot remember how to write its upper half so I can't search for it. The closest I came up with was 発 which means "departure, beginning, counter for gunshots" and, when followed by 動, means "invoke (law), put into operation".

So, we would have

゛ちからづく゛ は 追加 効果 が 発動しない 代わり に, [k]力 が 上がる。

"Encourage" wa tsuika kouka ga hastudoushinai kawari ni, [k]ryoku ga agaru.



tsuika = addition, supplement, appendix
agaru = rise
shinai = doesn't do
kawari = substitute, deputy, proxy, alternate, relief, compensation, second helping
ryoku = strength, power
kouka = effect, effectiveness, efficacy, result
hatsu = departure, beginning, counter for gunshots
dou = motion, change, confusion
hatsudou = invoke (law), put into operation

Well, I have no idea what it is. Really. I give up by now and will try to ask my Japanese teacher what the hell the kanji I had in mind means.

Similar to how Kyogre and Groudon were deemed uber simply because of their respective abilities? They are ubers anyway because they are the legendary mascots for Ruby/Sapphire.

Pigeon Heart + Close Combat combo would surely make bird-Poke fans happy! The final form should learn Close Combat the way Staraptor did.

Edit: @Mario with Lasers, what about the second kanji? It probably refers to the Pokémon itself, according to the kanji/katakana that follow.
 
Since that one means "Doesn't do" What about this?

"when a Pokemon is hit by a status effect, the stats that are not lowered are raised."

I.E., upon a Paralysis, all stats are raised except Speed. This equals the encouragement of nonaffected stats.
 
Auto Gravity would be pretty sweet, I must admit.

Oh, and a few hundred pages ago someone was throwing around the idea of a Dragon Eeveelution with the ability Dragon Absorb (gains immunity to Dragon moves.) If such a Pokemon were created, it would be able to resist the STABs of both Reshiram and Zekrom, which is pretty interesting.
 
....Awesome.

seriously, those new pokes like the normal, birdy and random psychic pokes will all end in UU at best. But the zebra and monkey thing seem interesting.

Also, maybe it's not true, but the pinky weird thing looks like a Drwzee sub-evo.

Dream Eater pokemon rings bells, doesnt it?

It looks like to me it talks about the effect, but not the activation. I believe it's a pretty "secundary" kanji; we need to really know the first one.

If a secondary effect is invoked, negate the effect and increase this Pokemon's power? No idea...

These both could work. Now I just wonder whether the secondary effect would have to activate or not...
 
My brother looked at the ability for encourage (he's taking Japanese) and he said it says that it "adds power instead of additional effections," which sounds to me like whoever said it boosts the power of multi-hit moves but only hits once.
 
But if Hihidaruma stays pure fire type, then there will probably be a multi-hit Fire move that it will learn to take advantage of that ability. I don't see a fire monkey shooting rocks anytime soon :/
 
For that matter, what resists both Ground and Rock during the effect of Gravity? It's just Breloom and Torterra, right? And with such strong moves (Earthquake and Stone Edge, which oh by the way is now 100% accurate), that coverage is just plain nuts.
 
Encourage: Or, what if it is the opposite of Serene Grace? For example, instead of being more likely to get flinch on Iron Head, Iron Head is stronger but will not flinch.
 
I've been doing the Encourage description in various translators, and looked at MWL's posts, and I think this is what it says:

"Encourage" If additional effects of moves to not take place, the power of the move rises.

Hmmm.

Edit: Lol Ninjas I need to refresh more

well some shoots shit, so...

*Turd Rush*

no seriously, Infernape and Primeape both learn stone edge, so i dont see why his one shouldnt learn rock blast.
 
Ran the description of Encourage through a CHINESE translator:

Encourage: Same thing as Helping Hand, but this description looks Japanese and appears to be confusing
 
I really don't think that floral pink piggy is a Drowzee preevo. Drowzee has a totally different color scheme, and looks radically different even if he is also pig-like. This is because Munma is based on a pig. Drowzee is based on a tapir. It's name isn't really fitting at all. Munma > Sleep > Sleeper? If it were a preevo you would expect it to also be based on a tapir, and for it to have a name that is some variation of the word sleep.
