Pet Mod [Gen 8] PokeClasses (Slate 7: Crusader/Hand-to-Hand/Minotaur [Slates 1-3 Coded])

[Gen 8] PokeClasses
approved by charizard8888
​

In some RPGs, you can select a class for your character that gives it boosts. Likewise, perks/skills give certain abilities. Boosts and abilities, you say? Both of those can be done in Pokémon! So that's where I got this idea. The premise is, the Pet Mod allows for the creation of "classes" you can choose for your Pokémon by nicknaming them. These give stat boosts and can function like abilities, giving certain side effects. They can be existing side effects given by existing abilities, or new side effects. Additionally, there are 2 side projects of this mod; one is called PokeSkills where we come up with additional skills that can be given to a Pokemon by replacing a move with that skill. You can only have one skill active at a time, and the skill has to pertain to the particular class you're using. The other is called PokeCreatures, where we sub creatures from Oblivion. The only rule for PokeCreatures is that the mon should be at least somewhat viable in OU.

Example:
Warrior:
Boost - Grants a 20% bonus to Atk.
Side Effect - Attacks that make contact do an additional 10% damage.

There will be 21 classes based on the classes from the game "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion": https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Classes. Each slate would do subs for a class, then next a vote on them. So 21 slates, altogether, in two phases. PokeSkills will use these as skills: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Skills. There will be 2 PokeSkills per slate, with 21 PokeSkills total, meaning PokeSkills will end after Slate 13.

Rules: When submitting classes and PokeSkills, make sure you submit at least one "side-effect".

Typically, subs and voting will last one week total, subs lasting 4 days, voting lasting 3. Votes are formatted 1, 2, 3; you can vote for yourself in the third slot.

Warrior:
So from what I can tell Warrior is the middle ground for Oblivion’s “pure martial” classes, between the offensive power of the Barbarian and the impenetrable wall of the Knight. Figured I’d run with that idea.

Warrior
1.2x Atk
1.2x Def
0.5x Spe
- Additional 5th moveslot with Protect, unless the mon already has it.

[Yak Attack]

Additional 5th moveslot with Protect, unless the mon already has it.

I remember wanting to sub this as its own Other Metagame lol. Would get rid of the 3MSS of Protect mons in VGC.

Warrior
Buffs

• Grants Atk and Def boost upon entry
• In doubles, user has a Follow Me effect
• User has a Guts effect
• Boosts power of cut/slash moves by 50% (Cut, Slash, Night Slash, Shadow Claw, Cross Poison, Leaf Blade, Air Cutter, Psycho Cut)

Debuffs

• Inflicts SpA and SpD drop upon entry

 

[Scoopapa]

Warriors in many RPGs are about tanking and aggro moreso than damage. Looking at the available classes, a lot of the other melee classes seem like better fits for offense ( like barbarian, crusader ), except perhaps Knight. Most of these boosts are therefore designed for defense, however the buff to Taunt and the quasi-metronome effect also give it the ability to trade blows back and forth while coming out on top, which is an option if you want a bulky attacker warrior.

Buffs:
- 10% increase to Defense
- 10% increase to Special Defense
- 10% reduction to Speed
Side Effects:
- Taunt lasts an additional 3 turns
- Takes 15% less damage from contact moves
- Attacks gain a 5% damage boost whenever a move is used repeatedly, up to a maximum of 50%
- Cannot be killed in one hit from full health
- Cannot use Special Attacks
