Woo, my bro has recovery now! Who the hell thought a pokemon whose ability requires it to get hit to do anything should go with only Pain Split to recover health?

Make it 100 paralyze chance after use, amd now it cannot be used on the same Pokemon multiple times.

>>25738994
I honestly love Girafarig but it's so hard to make good moves for it. I wanted to incorperate it's one useful ability somehow but desu it could probably be a far better move.

>>25739101
In hindsight, it should be either attacking stat being higher than Krookodile's.
Otherwise that becomes retardedly strong against special attackers.

>>25739102
>>Nature Blast
>>Psychic type

>Croak

also
>Leap frog

Basically water type flying press. Can only be used by frog pokemon and gives ones like Toxicroak necessary coverage.

It's super niche but it's Furret so there's not much to work with.

Working off of the idea of a pivoting Gourgeist;
>Shadow Switch
>Ghost type
>Physical
>70 base damage
Description: The user sends forth a shadowy version of itself to attack and distract the opponent while they swicth out. (Basically a ghost type U-turn)

>>25742005
How about
>Ghoul Leech
>Ghost
>Special
>95 BP
-1 Priority; Switches user out, and the next Pokemon called is healed for 75% of damage output, else heal the user.

>Trophos
>Poison type
>Special
>55 base damage
Description user drains the life of another Pokemon by breaking down its cells, converting 30% of the damage to hp, if the target is poisoned the damage is doubled and so is the healing.

>Vileplume
>Liquid Ooze
>Leftovers

Moves:
>Trophos
>Leech Seed
>Toxic
>Ingrain

Vileplume is now the giant poisonous mushroom flower that poisons and drains like it should have always been. I mean why do you think gloom got so messed up when the flower was eating its little oddish grassy brain?

>>25741983
Would this be Noctowl's signature move, or would other Pokes get it? Either way, I like it.

>>25736586
>Goliath tears
>bug type

now every shitmon can be king for one day.

I really think/like more niche attacks that go against typing to help out certain Pokémon (move like freeze dry)

>Rusting Winds
>70 base power - flying
> super effective against steel types

Give it to one of the shitty bird mons to give them a nice niche.

>Boil
>70 base power - fire
>super effective against water

Again, plenty of shItty fire mons that could use a nice niche.

And so on.

>Furcharge
>Electric type

Description: The user rubs its fur/wool/hair together to create a powerful electric current that boosts special defence by one stage and accuracy by two stages at the cost of lowering speed by one stage.

>Ampharos
>Static
>Zoom Lens/Life Orb
Moves:
>Furcharge

>Focus Blast
>Heal Bell/Cotton Guard

>>25742413
Actually probably change that to boosting special defence by two stages

Regigigas
>Purify
>Fairy
>Status
>8 max PP
Nullifies ability and cures status ailments; maybe raises ACC by one stage?

>>25738278
>Bug-Eyed Bash
It was a graveyard smash

>>25738465
UNDERRATED

>>25742413

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure 1HKO moves aren't affected by accuracy modifiers. I mean it's still a good move but Zap Cannon doesn't benefit from higher accuracy.

>>25746892
Zap Cannon isn't an OHKO move though. It has 120 base power, 50% accuracy and a 100% chance to cause paralysis. It's basically a stronger, electric type dynamic punch that causes paralysis instead of confusion. I just thought it'd be cool to see a pokemon effectively use it.

>>25736586

>Dark Punch.
>Fighting/Dark type
>80 base damage
>Physical

Explanation: Take Primeape and Alakazam as examples.
Primeape uses Dark Punch as a STAB fighting type move.
Alakazam however, receives it as a Dark move, so 2x effective.
Kinda the same as how Psyshock and Draining Kiss are counted as Sp. Att. moves but are received as Att. moves.

>Polute
>Poison type
>Special
>50 Base damage
Description: Reduces the targets Def/Sdef by 1 stage. (secondary effect) Makes poison damage effect steel types, and increases the effect of poison moves on everything else.
Works like a damaging mud/water sport

Would work for most poison pokemon, Expecially garbodor/muk
