This is an issue that I've been dealing with for years on PS!

When building new teams, I like to compare options, and something as essential as secondary effects of attacks is not searchable as of right now.
It could be quite useful to be able to type, for example "Special Attack", and know exactly each and every move that a Pokemon learns that affect Special Attack.
It could work with keywords (like typing/ability work rn), for most effects it should works: examples are Attack, Defense, etc. for moves that modify stats (can be self like Calm Mind, or inflicting stats drop/raise like Coaching or Moonblast) or mention a stat change, like Burning Jealousy, Punishment, Stored Power, etc. Burn, Paralysis, etc. Recovery (any moves that induce a Pokemon to recover some HP, so it would include Leech Seed for example), Set Damage (attacks that deal damage not based on the usual damage formula, like Seismic Toss and clones or Counter and clones), Multi hits, (Re)Charge turn, Screens, Trap, and such.

I hope i'm not asking to reinvent the whole PS! code with this suggestion. :row:


Thanks in advance ! :psyglad:
 
The /datasearch command has pretty much everything you've described; could you try using that in a chat with yourself?
