Create &/or Change Anything & Everything Competitive Edition!

[your boss]

New weather condition: Night

When Night, the power of Dark type attacks increase

New Item: Genie Lamp

Powers up the Kami's (Incarnate) speed.

Useless on Prankster Thundurus, but Landorus and Tornadus would love this. Kinda like Soul Dew.

[Shinytaifood]

There should be a new weather, similar to Haze but permanent unless a new weather comes in.

I guess the ablility would be called Fog, and while under fog, no stat changes can be made. Also, all attacks that are not 100% accuracy will have their accuracy lowered by 10-15%

It basically would be good for stall teams.

[Wishing Star]

Let me see

For Sacrifice, the game could use what it does with reversal. Also, Think of it like Fake Out. THe game tracks whe nFake Out is used first, and after subsequent uses, it doesn't flinvh anymore. Think of it like that, but it actually limits the use of the move. I was actually not going to have that effect, and basically have it as a survivable explosion, but that would also make it pretty broken. I also made it normal-typed, so it can easily be blocked by Ghosts or Max HP Registeel.

Hmm, for Revival... How about it only having one PP? I know the minimum is five, but we never know what GF will do next. Or change it around a bit so that it isn't as broken as it seems.

Necromancy- How about this? It boosts the power of Dark and Ghost type moves by 50% when under 50% Health?

Weather Burst- I have to say 85% Accuracy. 100 would make it to broken.

Soul Unburden- How about it changes so It's like Moxie, but only with Speed instead of attack?

Miniture Cloud- I was thinking the same thing on that. As Castform has base 70's across the board, a free Quiver Dance isn't nearly as borken as the Soul Dew. From my experiance in Balanced Hackmons, a +2 Speed Boost Chandelure didn't outspeed a Quiver Dance'd Timid Latios, so it's not necessarly broken in the sense of if someone like Lilligant or Jolteon got an item like this.

Fake Out is different, though, in that the game can keep track of whether or not the user of Fake Out has been out for more than a turn. It's the same thing with Retaliate, actually.
The check for Fake Out's success or Retaliate's extra power isn't whether or not the move has already been used, but whether or not the user of the move has been out for more than one turn.

The whole idea of reviving a Pokémon is pretty broken unless the cost is the user fainting. A net one-Pokémon advantage in a move is too good, design-wise. 1 PP isn't unheard of, though.

I'm all for the new Necromancy and new Soul Unburden, as well as the clarification of Weather Burst.

As for Jolteon or Lilligant getting a boost in their Special stats and Speed with a Miniature Cloud-like item, it's a bit too good because the boosts allow for one less turn of setup without any sort of relevant drawback. The DeepSeaScale and Tooth for Clamperl or the Light Ball for Pikachu are more acceptable, though, since they have less stats with which they can abuse the item. Competitively speaking, as for the Soul Dew, not much can be said other than it came out in the first generation where they introduced such items, I believe, and didn't realize how powerful Latios and Latias would be with them.

New Move: Slash Cutter
Type: Dragon / Power: 70 / Accuracy: 100 / PP: 20 / Target: Single adjacent Pokémon / Category: Physical / Priority: 0 (Contact: Yes)
"The user rushes at the target and attacks it using its sharp claws. Critical hits land more easily."
- It's a Dragon-type variation of moves like Slash, Psycho Cut, and Shadow Claw.

[your boss]

Or we could just upgrade Dragon Claw to more critical landing easily.

[Wishing Star]

Or we could just upgrade Dragon Claw to more critical landing easily.

That, yes, but I don't like altering existing battle mechanics if they seem perfectly fine to me.

[Zachmac]

New Move: Clear Sky
Power: 70
Accuracy: 100
Type: Flying
Special

Distribution: Altaria, Rayquaza, Dragonair, Dragonite, Castform.

"A mystic power"? It should be Psychic-type, then. o:

But yes, I like this move. I'm assuming it hits any non-user Pokémon?

[Zachmac]

Meh, I was just making something up right off the bat. It was inspired by Dragonair's ability to use it's orbs to control the weather.

But yes, I like this move. I'm assuming it hits any non-user Pokémon?

Uh...I didn't think much about targets.

Let's just say it hits any adjacent target pokemon.

[Wishing Star]

Uh...I didn't think much about targets.

I'd make it hit either all adjacent or any non-user Pokémon, just to tie in with Air Cutter and Fly, respectively. (:

Your points are Valid as well, so why not Make Revival a variation of Lunar Dance? Where Revival Revives Pokemon while Lunar Dance Heals the next one coming in. Though, think about it. It's broken, but not to broken. If Rocks, are up and a Pokemon like Volc is revived the turn Rocks is set up, it's a basically wasted move. and 50% Isn't much, considering every team these days have either Hazards, Priority, or some other way to kill a weakened pokemon.

Well... I'm putting this in a Spoiler, but here's my Idea for a New Weather Condition, Night

You also have to consider the design side of the spectrum. I'm going to assume that Revival only revives a Pokémon up to 50%.

If you don't consider entry hazards at all as a hindrance to the move, 50% HP is quite significant, especially if you revive a tank or something. They can recover up back to almost full in one turn with their healing move of choice, or use that turn to set up a Reflect or Light Screen or something to benefit the team again, or get out entry hazards of their own, or what have you. That extra turn can serve extremely crucial to the success of the team, and it's not very fair for a team that's worked so hard to KO that Pokémon to go about their day only to have to deal with that exact same threat again.

If you make Revival require the user fainting as a cost, then that pretty much makes Revival only go on Pokémon that eventually outlive their usefulness. That role used to pretty much only belong to suicide leads, but if they're leads, and if they use Revival, they'd have nothing to revive.

I think somebody else suggested a reviving move awhile back, to which I probably also wasn't a fan of, if only for the design issues.

The only real flavor disconnect I have with the night weather itself is the Normal-, Fighting- and Fire-type move power reduction. Since the rest are just counterparts to already-existing abilities and moves, I can't really say much about them.

Well, Let me tryo to justify those Power Drops, and kick out fire. Since most Normal and Fightning types are Physical, it's better when there is light to make contact, since at night it's harder to see things, they won't attack as hard to make sure they can hit their opponents. THat, and I feel Night is a good counter to all the fightning types running amuk in OU. That and Lunacy Absol... It's scary to think of that...

If it's hard to see, it should drop the accuracy of Normal- and Fighting-type moves instead. Which is a good thing due to the presence of so many Fighting-type Pokémon and moves this generation.
And no, this wouldn't be encompassed under the evasion clause, because the evasion clause bans things like BrightPowder, Double Team, and Sand Veil, which are evasion-boosting mechanics that your opponent can do nothing about and just has to deal with.

[pokemonsquared]

Snowplow/Ice/Physical/120BP/10PP/100 acc/Causes recoil damage

Dynabite/Fire/Physical/50BP/20 PP/100acc/ Plants explosives when hit t1, explodes next turn for 2x damage a pokemon with explosives planted cannot switch until the effects have worn off.

Yea, I think that works better, and It would give all of those High Jump Kick Users a Run for their money.

Snowplow - An Ice-type Flare Blitz, sure.

Dynamite - So, 50 base power on turn 1, then 100 base power on turn 2, with the Pokémon with explosives planted on it not being able to switch? Does this prevent Baton Pass, U-Turn, and Volt Switch?

Yea, I think that works better, and It would give all of those High Jump Kick Users a Run for their money.

It would probably lower the usage of Terrakion quite a bit, come to think of it. (:

I wasn't really aiming for the weakness. Dradeon would be a great late game sweeper with this. It's like a physical Lati, just without the precious Soul Dew.

[MetalFlygon08]

Item

Golden Arc (a relic shaped like Arceus' middle peice)

Boosts STAB moves for the holder by 50% at the cost of 50% power on all non STAB moves.

Dual Types would love this. And if you can learn them, fixed damage moves would help dodge the drop.
