Sacred Ash.
This can't be used whilst battling.
So pissed off when i found that out whilst playing Silver in my youth. "Ha Lance you can't touch me now, all my pokemon are heal-WHAT? Where is my Sacred Ash!?" Needless to say, i never made that mistake ever again...
I forgot about that...err, Sacred Ash isn't manmade though, so it wouldn't have to be included.
Smeagle evolution believe!
Even a mere +20 to it's base attack stats would be nice :(
Maybe even get an exclusive move, like...uh...Erase! Randomly erase a move from the opponent's Pokemon for that battle. To avoid being broken it could be only a one per 'mon or one per match thing or something.
I don't know. Poor thing could use even a small boost is all I'm saying.
edit: to clarify, I know that it's stats are low for a reason. But 20 base attack is atrocious. Ditto has more and it doesn't even need it. Even Sunkern has more.

It's referred to as an illusion in the movie though, which suggests that it does not actually transform into another Pokemon, it's just a trick of the mind. Zorua is able to speak through telepathy as well.
On the other hand, while Zoroark is in Raikou form, she is able to use it's Electric attacks. This does suggest that she is using Transform, because she copies the moves as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they do learn Transform.
I reckon it will have Transform and at least either Shadow Ball or Aura Sphere, possibly both...
I don't think it can learn Transform. It is said that Zoroark is an illusion pokémon, and making oneself look like something else isn't the same as transforming into something else.
And to you that want more speed boosing items: I don't think you really want it. It would be needed on almost every pokémon to avoid it being too slow. It could give a boost to defensive play, because all offensive pokémon would have to give up Life Orb, but it would take away all variety in items.
I don't want evos for more pokémon. I want this generation to be more like the third generation, with many new pokémon and ideas. The fourth generation was boring, with very little new and almost only evos, pre-evos and legends. I want more variety like in the third generation.
I think there should be a difference in power. With too many pokémon equal in power, battles would be more luck-based. It would be more luck about what kind of team you use than the actual battle. And I like that there are weaker pokémon. And evos would ruin many cool designs. I think there should be differences in power, but you should be rewarded for using weak pokémon by good move combinations, abilities or other things. For example, Magcargo could get an ability like Flame Body, but instead of 30 % chance of burning, there could be a 100 % chance of burning. You predict Scizor uses Bullet Punch, you send in Magcargo, Scizor is burned. And about Farfetch'd, I have said it before, they should just improve Stick. Give it 50 % defense boost and attack boost. It could give Farfetch'd a defensive support role that I think no other normal flying pokémon have. Not everything need evos to become better, many should be improved in other ways.

I thought I'd swing by and drop you all a little surprise you may not have noticed.
Look at the clearer images of the bridge and the battle. The mess of pixels in the battle's background is actually a city.
Now, look at the bridge picture. So the pixelated wreck of a sky background? Look a little closer. It's not a mess-- it's a giant city.
So, we can conclude that the city we saw in that picture is going to be Pokemon's first supercity. I can't wait to see what it is. Perhaps we'll be able to explore the same thing. Now, we can also infer that the screen for the city is going to rotate as the player moves, as can be seen by the warped panels (game grid) that curves around. There's no way Game Freak would have put that alleyway in there as a place that's blocked off.
By going up into that alley, the player will be brought into the inside of the city. From this and the highway (inspect the underside of the bridge for a few moments, if you will), we can see that this 5th Gen region is much more industrialized than we thought from the CoroCoro scans.
Thoughts on this? It all seems extremely plausible.

Farfetch'd with 50% more Attack and Defense would still suck. It'd still be way slower and have notably lower attack than Staraptor, and it would have a worse movepool and way worse special defense than Noctowl.
Indeed, even if Stick worked like Light Ball or Bone Club did, Farfetch'd would still be nearly useless due to his poor speed. Pikachu has the speed to utilize Light Ball and Marowak has passable defenses, but there is no saving grace for Farfetch'd. It's doomed.
Indeed. The only way the whole item thing would work in Farfetch'd favor is if it raise all of Fetch'd stat (minus HP) by x1.5 or x2. Now with a x1.5 boost in stats, it would have an stat spread of roughly 52/106/91/96/102/99 while a x2 boost with give it an stat spread of roughly 52/148/128/134/142/138. The latter boost is crazy as all hell and amusing to see made possible.
I'm not sure how much that would actually help. Smeargle still has 15 more Base Speed and Farfetch'd's higher offenses and bulk don't mean much when it still can't survive anything and Explosion it's only attack that can do any real damage. That said, it would still push it into UU or BL.
It's been said before, and I'll say it again. Smeargle needs an evolution like I need a hernia. I wouldn't mind so much if it was sent to Ubers, though. It's just enough of a problem in OU.
See, personally I think Plusle and Minun deserve and evolution that would help them in Doubles. A bit more defensive to stand up to some attack while still carrying a supporting role on a doubles team.
Farfetch'd don't need to be a powerful sweeper. It could get a different role. Maybe give it some good moves too. Leek Slap, grass, 120 base power, 30 % chance to make opponent flinch, 100 % accurate. It wouldn't be enough to make Farfetch'd good, but wtih a few other improvements too, it would be good. But Farfetch'd don't need to be a good pokemon. I am happy with it weak. It still has a use. It binds together the flying and ground egg group.
Other than that, I REALLY want the berry system rewamped. Make it like Animal Crossing. When you plant the berry, the plant will stay as long as you don't remove it. That would make it possible to choose how much of each kind of berries you get, but not being forced to look after them too much.Growing berries is so much work that I never bother to do it. It should be something doable.

In that case: Plusle would evo into a sweeper and Minun into a supporter, looking at their present stats in the miniature difference in move pools. But that probably won't happen, seeing Minun+Plusle were only made to represent doubles.
See: Apricorns. The berry system seems fine to me.....seeing Ive been taking care of my berries on my SS with no problem. Its as simple as watering when you wake up, water after school, before you sleep, then get the berries the next morning, and replant. I think it was really hard in R/S/E/D/P/Pl because if you had more then 4 plants, you would have back and forth. HG/SS, you have the berry planter, which make things much easier.
Besides: If they do that, you'll get a berry per day/3 a day (if like Animal Crossing) when I find it eaier to just water them and get 6-7 every 2 days.
The main problem w/ Farfetch'd is it's not-so-great speed. Fix that, and he is at least usable.
Leek Slap + Stick + Crit hax = ouch
You got that from the card.
BTW, on the subject of unusable Pokemon, keep in mind:
a) A lot of them have decent move pools
b) It is a nice challenge when you sweep noob abusing ubers with Chatot and Castform.
It doesn't mean make more. It means it's nice to have 1 or 2 released per generation (not as many as Gen 2, but...)
They are mainly created to test certain players to make a usable sweeper/supporter/defender out of these seemingly useless Pokemon.
Doubleslap will be renamed bitchslap, do double damage to female pokemon but have 70% chance of inflicting a burn on males.
Seriously, wheres my tentacruel evo?
And lets talk a little less about pokemon-lets talk about the game. Please, a better battle frontier, the one in emerald had fun ideas (battle pyramid should let you heal before you battle brando, even though fighting/boltbeam takes down his teams) but HG kinda stank...battle hall (the one where you battle one of each type) - Boring!

ouch
The one in Gen 4 is OK....but it would be nice to see a bit of more puzzles/challenges. I like the Battle Roulette.
The Battle Factory is evil!!! I will sit there for a good half hour to really focus on weather or not Pokemon A will work with B and C, and make it all the way to the end.....just to get destroyed by the last guy who just happens to get the right Pokes to stop me.....I haven't made it past rank 1 there.
Do we honestly need one? Tenta is pretty good already. There are a lot more Pokemon who need help.
Look for Pokemon like Tangela, who are practically destined to have evos.
I just realized: There is a Surf trio: Seaking, Tentacruel, and Gyarados. Their children plague you when you enter the water....and all have good stats despite their commonness (except Seaking who is....usable....)
I know Tegala has an evo. I was giving an example. Generations 1-3 screamed for an evo, and he finally got one. It's not that he had poor stats, it's that he was an excellent recipient for it.
Farfetch'd has coolness that stretches of the charts. lol
1 or 2 useless pokes, then the rets should have some use.

Farfy needs evo. The ink spill was over 12 years ago, Game Freak. (Read its Gen IV analysis if you didn't get the joke.) It's time to give Farfetch'd a second chance.
And as for the battle frontier...it should utilize stuff like Gen IV's battle frontier and Gen III's battle frontier. No "gimmicks" that don't involve actual battles, though: Why the heck does the battle palace exist in Gen III again? It MIGHT be nice to revamp Battle Factory, though...
