5 move slot?

>what are Z-moves

>>32344689
1 turn nukes that require an item slot and cant be reused

It makes stall worse and offense/Greninja better.

>>32344689
They're boosts you can give to 1 of your 4 moves and can only be used once per battle.

So not a 5th move slot.

>Stall worse
>Everyone can now run Protect.

>Gen 8 introduces a 5th move slot
>the user has to hold a special item in order to have a 5th move slot
Would this be balanced?

>Mega Fug being the only mega to benefit

Almost all Pokemon greatly benefit. Offensive ones, as well as support and stallmons. The only Pokemon it doesn't affect much are those like Flareon and Lilligant, without moves.

Blaziken with HP Ice and Stone edge

I keep invisioning where every Pokémon has its own signature move permanent as a 5th move, moves that you can imagine that Pokémon being able to do. This could help balance shit Pokémon without breaking good Pokémon as well. All dugtrio could know dig, all electrode could have explosion, give shitty Pokémon like farfetchd a free brace bird slot, and give overpowered Pokémon like hatching something not that great like sandstorm

>>32344847
They could also give out a bunch of moves that have neat utility and are fun to use, but nobody ever use because it's hard to justify the move slot. Brick break, magic coat, power trick, etc would almost force the meta to be more diverse because diverse moves would be forced into movesets

>Thinking they'll give Pokemon a fifth move

They'll probably let Pokemon hold 2 items before giving them a 5th move.

>>32344709
But what a cost.
>>32344689
The closest we are gonna be to a 5th slot. Also the healthiest.

>>32344803
New tier MG.

>>32344939
Mega fug tier, all pokémon must be Rayquaza

Verbs and nouns are gay anyway, Pokemon is where it's at!

MG=MegaFug Goes.

>>32344682
5 moves will just allow for more stalling, setups and sweeping.

Weakness Policy Mega Ampharos

Greninja becomes more broken.

An easy lifehack is to just use the word impact instead.

OP here, do you think anything would change tier due just from having the option of 5 moves?

>>32347713
Protean grenigger could get bumped to ubers probably

>>32347713
I would expect most defensive 'mons to drop a tier, if every offensive 'mon suddenly gains an extra coverage move there isn't a whole lot something like Ferrothorn can do with an extra move to mitigate that.

Alternately, a shitton of offensive 'mons get kicked up a tier because it's harder to wall them. Really depends on how the various councils react to the change.

>Every Pokemon gets a reliable Stab move of its primary type with occasional exception, using its current higher attacking stat with BP 100, 100 Base accuracy, and 10 PP that also tags any signature flags of that pokemon, like Punch move for Hitmonchan or Bite move for Tyrantrum
Which pokemon utterly break this meta?

>>32347169
>Implying Mega Aggron wouldn't be broken as fuck with Lefties

>>32348831
>Strong Jaw Tyrantrum now has a move that's just as powerful as Head Smash without the shitty accuracy or the crippling recoil
Interesting.
>Mega Aerodactyl has a strong, accurate, Rock-type contact move, finally pushing it up to OU
Very interesting.
>Mega Sharpedo has a 225 BP Water-type move with no drawbacks after STAB and Strong Jaw
How very, very interesting.
Seriously though Mega Sharpedo comes out of this an absolute monster. Between Jaws (tm), Crunch, and Psychic Fangs there's like 3-4 things in OU that can't be 2HKOed after SR damage.
Other than those three, you've got Mega Blastoise's Not-Quite-Origin Pulse and Tapu Koko's Nu-sion Bolt.
