Data ASB Raid Zone - General Thread (NEW REF PAYMENT)

[zarator]

Maxim and whoever else has them:

Crown of Relentless/Eternal Storms hotfix - here's the new stats:

Crown of Relentless Storms: Boosts the holder's Special Attack by 7 and its Defense and Special Defense ranks by 1 while the holder is under the effects of Forecast. Raises the critical hit stage of Weather Ball by (1) and reduces the threat it generates by 50%. The holder can use any weather move bar Sandstorm in any arena where it might otherwise be disallowed and these moves will last for 2 additional rounds. Usable only by: Castform.

Crown of Eternal Storms: Boosts the holder's Special Attack by 9, its Defense and Special Defense ranks by 1, and doubles its Speed while the holder is under the effects of Forecast. Raises the critical hit stage of Weather Ball by (2) and reduces the threat it generates by 50%. The holder can use any weather move bar Sandstorm in any indoor arena where it might otherwise be disallowed and these moves will last for 2 additional rounds, while costing 2 less energy. Usable only by: Castform.

That's all

 

[zarator]

Also, I'm rebalancing (i.e. nerfing) the following tanking items.

Shield of Impenetrable Darkness: STAB bonus reduced by 1.
Splintered Visage of the Spire: STAB bonus reduced by 1.
Bulwark of Impenetrable Darkness: STAB bonus reduced by 1, Sp. Defense boost reduced by 1.
Fireproof Armor: STAB bonus reduced by 2.
Fireproof Battlegear: STAB bonus reduced by 2.
Polished Visage of the Spire: STAB bonus reduced by 1, Defense boost reduced by 1.
Regi Wall: STAB bonus reduced by 2, non-Normal boost reduced by 2, Defense/SpD boost reduced by 1.
Regi Bastion: STAB bonus reduced by 2, non-Normal boost reduced by 1.
Amice of the Battle Mage: Now increases the threat gen of Dazzling Gleam if the holder is a Fairy-type and has Sturdy.

EDIT: Also, Normal-type artifacts no longer increase the power of all moves. Instead, they further increase the power of Normal-type moves if the holder is a Normal-type.

EDIT2: Due to overwhelming negative feedback, I will revert the Normal-type artifact change. Also, the Continuum Blade will no longer cause Normal-type spread moves to become single target. Instead, it will cause the holder's allies to be immune to damage from the holder's own Normal-type spread moves.

Generation VII patch​

• Z-moves
  • You will be able to use one Z-move per battle for each trainer, provided the Pokemon in question carries the appropriate Z-crystal
  • Bosses will not be able to employ Z-moves themselves as part of a regular action. They may show up in non-standard actions, though (like status moves and other moves which are not included in slates).
  • If an attacking moves which causes a high amount of threat is turned into a Z-move, the resulting Z-move will not generate a high amount of threat
  • If a non-attacking move which has raid-specific effects is turned into a Z-move, the resulting Z-move will retain said effects
  • Z-moves always receive a Threshold bonus equal to +3 per Threshold point
    
  • For the rest, Z-moves in raids work exactly like everywhere else in ASB
• New raid mechanics affecting Gen VII moves/abilities/items:
  • Bosses do not change their type upon using Burn Up
    
  • All bosses are immune to the following moves: Core Enforcer (the secondary effect only), Instruct, Nature's Madness, Throat Chop (the secondary effect only)
  • The following abilities have no effect in raid zones: Disguise (but see threat effects below), Emergency Exit (but see threat effects below), Wimp Out (but see threat effects below).
  • Water Bubble increases by 5 the HP absorbed by the user's Bubble Shield
• New threat-related effects
  • The following abilities can be toggled ON to raise the threat generated by damage and healing done by 50% (this effect will replace their standard effects). These abilities can't be toggled ON if copied or transferred and don't stack with other threat multipliers:
    • Queen Majesty
  • The following damaging moves will now generate a high amount of threat, which means they will cause a flat additional threat equal to the damage caused. For example, a Pokemon that causes 20 damage with such a move will cause 40 threat overall. A Pokemon with Pressure Toggled On that causes 20 damage with such a move will cause 20*1.5+20 = 50 threat overall, instead. The list includes:
    • Shell Trap
  • The following abilities reduce the user's threat generated by 20% (can be toggled off)
    • Disguise
    • Emergency Exit
    • Wimp Out

"However, what the living ignore, the departed still remember. While we do not know what fate bestowed upon the hero who vanquished the Old Gods, the return of the ancient evil seems to have drawn his spirit to this forlorn island once more. Even now, I can sense his tortured soul, wandering in the dark depths of the shrine, crying for light. Crying for hope.
