If that was the case, this would be one hell of a move.

Aw, sucks, well still good try!
We're not sure, but seeing as how it was leaked with Victini itself and has a lot to do with him (showing only him use it and all, I think it is, but we can't confirm that..
Then that move would be broken completely if it destroyed all items.
Fixed =P I would really like it if it did that, but it would be kinda cheap, lol
I just realized how strange it would be if Complete Burn destroyed Mystic Water...
Oh, TTar coming to revenge me :/
-complete burn disabled tyranitars choice scarf-
hahahahahaahaha, you HAD a scarf, now eat this 100% accurate focus blast!
...i can still dream :(
Or Sacred Ash, that is if someone was actually stupid enough to give it to a pokemon..
Anyways, what are you guys hoping for in the leaks?
Not necessarily. After all, see: Knock Off, which is what it would basically be in that case, for all intents and purposes in Wi-Fi/Shoddy battles. If it just turns out to be a slightly more powerful Knock Off, I'd really doubt it would be broken.
Not only that, but nothing has immunity to knock off... scarftran can still readily revenge victini xD
I thought Sticky Hold did?
Er; let me rephrase that, nothing has immunity to knock off's damage. Though yeah you are right that sticky hold stops it... but unless you're running Gastrodon in UU (Or Gastrodead, as rolf calls it) it's not of much significance
Oh and where is Lucalibr?
He stopped going on this thread for some reason
But let's not forget others were saying that it was broken if it destroyed all items, not only one, like knock off, though I still don't agree
Pretty sure Kitsunine just meant any time of items, instead of just berries, by "all items." But anyway, it doesn't matter I suppose, since it didn't seem to give any indication of destroying the whole team's items, so whatever.
Yeah, I just meant that maybe it isn't limited to berries, but whatever the opponent may be holding.
It is a little depressing that Incinerate only destroys berries. I sorta hope it destroys items period like a Fire-type Knock Off. But probably not. Victory Star has a pretty boring concept but it's probably pretty useful. Do we know exactly what "increases accuracy" means? That's pretty good either way for Fire Blast.
Oh, thanks for the clear up. And all I'm asking for is decent damage, at least Base 80 or something..
Giratina O and Arceus holding a plate? Not only that but both are also immune to trick (Giratina O being one of the best Trick Scarf Counters in Ubers).
The move is called Complete Burn, and completely incinerates everything 100% of the time; what they didn't specify is that the move only target's the opponent's Berry. Woot!
On a serious note, I think it would be a great move if if destroyed all items. It would definitely make up for any kind of low base damage it might have. Also, Victini's ability is a great touch. I can image some serious Fire Blast usage, and teaming up with Starmie for doubles if it's in OU. In fact, with Triple battle coming along, the ability seems even MORE useful than before. I think that's something that will really give it the niche.

We knew about the berry thing, lol. And y
I'm hoping we get some insight on new items. I'm not sure we've heard anything about them so far.
I wonder if they'll make a defensive Choice item… How would it work?
The first idea that comes to me is something like this:
Choice… uh… let's say Hat.
Description: Boosts both Defences by 1.5, but allows only the use of moves that aren't affected by Taunt.
Doesn't sound so good from a competitive perspective, right? Would you rather have a boost in taking damage, or the ability to use Recover?
I just noticed… something like this wouldn't actually help Tanks. It would help something like Bulky Sweepers. But… who knows.
That doesn't really seem like a Choice item technically, IMO, since Choice moves revolve around being forced to use one move. However, you have an idea here-- maybe there could be an item that could be sort of like a forced Taunt for some kind of defensive boost? OR maybe even an offensive or speed boost? I'm not sure if the latter would be too destructive or not, but it would be not be usable by stat-uppers at least, and you could sort of... "absorb" Taunt.
That's an awesome idea, and it would help pokemon like Hariyama, but it would get very complicated, lol. I hope for new items as well, we need them.
im still waiting for my counter-taunt, like a move that makes you only use non-attacking moves, that would be game breaking, what do you think the new dragon will be like?
I'm still betting the farm Kibago evolves into Ononokusu and Ononokusu is Dragon/Steel.
Here I Come To Save The Day!!!!
I say it bears a good resemblence.
