Post your ideas for interesting new moves you'd like to see in SM.
This is one I had recently:
Shrink Ray
The target is treated as though they had just used Minimize - their evasiveness increases and attacks like Flying Press, Body Slam, and Phantom Force do double damage and can't miss.
Minimize is an interesting pseudo-status, but never gets used because of evasion clause. With this, there's actually a semi-good reason to minimize your opponent's mons in double battles. 200 BP, never-miss Dragon Rushes would be a thing to fear (Dragon Rush also has a nifty 20% flinch chance, so it's really no joke), while 170 BP Body Slams and 160 BP Flying Presses are nothing to laugh at, either.

I forgot to mention
>Salamence learns Body Slam via Gen 3 tutor
>Pinsir learns Body Slam in Gen 1
So you can have a 170*1.3 = 221 BP Flying-type move with a 30% para chance, can't ever miss, and has no drawbacks.
I think that's a little better than a Helping Hand boost. Particularly good on M-Mence because it also has Dragon Rush.

You come up with a better one than. Pokemon fight each other its what they do it makes sense for some of the legenary pokemon powers to be more mature and life threatening

Dark type is for dirty or underhanded fighting. It does not represent your emo one fedora'd angel fantasty.

>>26583251
If its underhanded fighting wouldn't that be.. uh.. fighting type? Idiot.
I'm not some cringy fedora guy I just think having some moves dealing with death and reaper pokemon and stuff is fine we already have ghost types.

It's aleph one because it's all the real people

>You were actually serious
I gave you the benefit of the doubt in assuming that you were ironically coming up with the worst move idea you could, as a way of implying that trying to come up with new names is cringey.
Please just leave.
>>
>>26583313
Even though some Ghost Pokemon may be related to death (I can just remember Yamask), I see them more related to spirits than actually being humans or Pokemon who died and turned into Ghost Pokemon.
And no, the underhanded fighting wouldn't be fighting type. Fighting types are your stereotypical "train hard, get stronger" and disciplined Pokemon. Even if this isn't enough, moves like Sucker Punch, Beat Up, Foul Play and many other moves like these are Dark type.

two box, duh. This is the same paradox, but you are ethically obliged to make a decision.

If you think that one's so easy, try this one.
Also, I like some of the moves in this thread, but please try to avoid "x but more" or "y but special/physical instead" - I'm really hoping to see more moves which are creative and really allow new playstyles.
