Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

I think she meant as a extra boost GF might give it next gen, just like Growth.
Also, what does Sand Power do?

Sand Power is the one that deals with sandstorm (increases damage or something? I don't remember off the top of my head). Sand Throw is the one that we don't know about.
I think if Illuminate had a boost it would have been mentioned in the article, but I guess it doesn't hurt to be hopeful.

We've discussed this a lot too, lol. Fire Blast, Focus Blast, Psycho Boost, and Blizzard. Bam it's a beast :D
Just to be clear... Is "Miruhogu" the Furret-esque one with red stripes on it, and that seemingly evolves from that chimpunk one?
So am I. I hate Breloom with a passion and wouldn't mind him being nerfed like that. In fact, I'd be perfectly alright with him being dropped from OU entirely since all he has going for him is Spore (Swords Dance is much easier to handle).
Maybe it'll lower defense since it says he scares them. Perhaps this is why they made an ability that prevents defense drop. Give this man a Scarf, You First, and pair him up with Kings Rock Machamp with Rock Slide, and you have a great doubles strategy.
Of course, this is assuming it lowers Defense
Well, if MWL is right about Illuminate getting a boost, then maybe there's still a little hope. Don't give up on the little MeerHog yet!
Ah, I was reading it as both Power and Throw get a boost in Sandstorm, not just Power. My mistake.
I'm hoping it's like Motor Drive. Having Bambi absorb Grass Knot aimed at Swampert and then Baton Passing the attack boost to, say, Agiligross, and it'd cause some havoc.
Yay! I love speculation.
Sand Power apparently increases attack power during Sandstorm (according to Pokébeach); I'd guess Sand Throw makes Sandstorm do 1/8 damage.
Poison Heal and 130 Base Attack STAB Focus Punch too. But yes, I do not like Spore either.
Could work too. I know in-game descriptions of pokémon do not mean much, but I really think Illuminate will reduce the opponent's [stat] this gen. I mean, this bugger HAS to be better than Bibarel... right?
Wait, please don't tell me that was the master document? That was supposed to be August 11! If it was, then that SUCKED
Generation 5 is looking to be pretty good in my opinion. The one thing I'm not looking forward to is random battles with people using hacked Pokemon or something equally annoying.
That would be good for a change. I hate that there are abilities with no value for battles (runaway,illuminate,ect.) I could see illuminate working as a accuracy based version of intimidate...if it needed a change.
And runaway raising speed?
Unfortunately, even with a Defense/Accuracy-lowering ability in Illuminate, unless it's stats are above average for early rodents I don't imagine it beating out Bibarel or Linoone. It's really unfortunate. But I suppose there's no reason to denounce Miruhog just yet.
I'm sure there's plenty more information from the Master Document, but unfortunately I think we've seen all the Pokemon that are gonna be revealed in it. The rest will probably just be odds and ends information.
The more I look at it the more I like Moguryuu. I like the concaveness of his arms.
I would think Sand Throw might allow it to hit Flying-types and levitators with Ground-type moves, but that's just speculation given the name of the ability.
If you look at Serebii, they show a scan with a compilation of the pokemon... I think that's the Mastery Document =/
I doubt seasons will be anything progress-impeding, stopping you from beating the game. It'll probably just allow you to get special items and such... maybe even special Pokemon?
@General Tso: That's actually called the "Pokemon File". It just includes pictures of all the Pokemon we know about... which obviously means no other new Pokemon in that issue. So I guess your point still stands...
Forget Emonga, it's the Pokemon that single-handedly ruined my hopes for a decent Pachirisu evo.
Also, I'm upset about Luvdisc's evo not getting some kind of awesome SpA-boosting ability when its raining. I dunno why I thought the horrible, cute pokes would become awesome in Gen5 but it doesn't hurt to hope, right?
I don't care about new pokemon right now, just about moremoremoremore information on them and their moves. And I love Moguryo and it's evo, I want it to be Ground/Steel :D
Poison Heal I'll give you, but with base 70 Speed and no Spore, his STAB Focus Punch is useless unless you're really, really good at predicting. He can still Sub, sure, but send in a Sub breaker or a Tank and he's done.Mario With Lasers said:
So swana has Pidgeon Heart ? I don't know what the GF staff have in their heads
Well, maybe it will be an -amazing- tank. Two defensive abilities and all
We still don't have the Swana page, so that might be a wrong on the guy who wrote up the info's part. He got Healing Heart, wrong, for example.
Strangely enough, there's no Zorua/Zoroark there.
Point given.
