UN-NERF OR BUFF EXPLOSION IN SM PLEASE.

>>26473615
why

>>26473643
Because pokemon can use moves that do more damage than an explosion without killing themselves.

Explosion is pointless now.

>>26473643
Because Explosion used to be a really good move, even on mons who didn't have good attack stats (Gengar)

There was really no reason to nerf it.

>>26473659
>>26473672
Fair point. How much base damage should it do? Or should it simply OHKO the other pokemon?

>>26473694
Just make it take in count only half of the enemy's defense like before. Or maybe just 70% or something idk

>>26473694
OHKO is obviously far too much, but 400 or 500 power is perfectly reasonable.

>>26473694
450BP typeless

>>26473726
I liked it having a normal type so it had proper counterplay.

>>26473734
would be interesting if there were typed explosion type moves
maybe as signature move for various mons (electrode comes to mind)

>>26473756
>>26473734
Explosion 450BP Normal
Self-Destruct 450BP Steel

yeah this thread proves once again vp sucks at pokemon
