ITT: we buff pokemon to make them more viable but not break em.
Fearow
-new ability:
power drill -ups the power of drill based attacks by 1.5x their normal amount. Ups the accuracy of said moves to 100% and applies skill link to them.
Affects the following on Fearow:
-Drill peck =120 power before stab
-Drill run =120 power, 100 accuracy
-Fury attack =110 power total with all 5 hits, 100 accuracy
Parasect
-new ability:
spore spreader -applies spore and powder to all moves this pokemon uses that make contact, if sleep clause is in affect it applies poison after a pokemon is sleeping. Rain gives it a rain dish affect. Sleep Clause prevents this from being broken, the powder thing makes one of its old 4x weak points less of a issue to a point as well.
Lets see what this does:
-turns leech life's new 80 power into a healing attack that applies sleep and powder to a target
-removes a need for spore, as well as removes people from taunting it to stop spore. Lets it run 3 status affects easily as well.
-pursuit would make the pokemon fleeing fall asleep/poison em
-It still has stuff like knock off, Aromatherapy, and some other stuff.
Ledian
-new ability:
moon dancer -If it is dark out in battle or if it is holding a moonstone it gets a +1 to all stats after a round has passed, affect doesn't stack though. If sunny day is in affect it falls asleep til it passes.
-It leans baton pass. As long as it doesn't lose the moon stone and as long as someone doesn't set up sun you have a chance to power up a sweeper.

Build Sleep Clause into that Parasect ability, make it read something like "Applies status on contact."...but the first is always Sleep as long as nothing on the opponent's team is asleep, then poison.And if you want to get REALLY weird, keep going. If something on their team is poisoned, paralysis, then toxic poison, then burn, then freeze, in that order. Make standard immunities apply - no burning fire types, grass is immune to any of it because it's a spore/powder based thing, etc. Having a 100% chance of freeze, on the sixth pokemon, if they are that dumb to keep switching and not kill the frail bug while it sets up a bunch of statuses is perfectly fine in my mind. Fuck if I know how freezing spores work though, they just do.
>>30522303
>reprogramming the entire game just to make parasect marginally less shit
why
>>30522796
Um, pretty sure it wouldn't be that hard to do. Its pretty much just a different program of King's rock.
>>30522474
Bewear is already competitively viable
>>30522474
Liquidate is already the name of an attack.
>>30522474
>that Mudsdale buff
Oh lordy
>>30522303
Zygarde Complete is a permanent forme and keeps Aura Break as its ability :)))
>>30522303
>Ledian with huge power as HA
>still BL2 at best
Something are just not meant to be
>>30525338
I figured that, which is why I figured a super boost would help.
Not many things can pass a full stat boost.
>>30522303
>Golisopod
Emergency Exit now activates at 25% health
Lurantis
>Raise speed from 45 to 100, as right now it has almost the same stats and abilities as Serperior, but Serperior is twice as fast while Lurantis gets 25 more... Attack (???)
Delphox
>again, raise speed
>give it Flare Blitz
Lycanrock, midday
>just one decent coverage move
There are a ton of pokemon who just have one minor thing wrong with them that destroys their viability. And it's often their speed stat being terrible in a game that's all about being able to one shot kill things before they can even perform an action.

>to a lesser extent archeops
>Ledian - the Pokemon that is only found in the morning had a moon themed ability
>not something to do with punching moves hitting multiple times
>>30527684

But Sunny Day already exists, you'd have to create a terrain for each other type. And what about Parasect?
