Attacks and Abilities Guide

[Wargle]

Actually I was asking if it did. It doesn't damage but it can.

 

[Squornshellous Beta]

So was I. And then if it isn't blocked, then whether (as I assume) a non-damaging attack called by it fails.

Just to make it absolutely clear.

 

[Negrek]

Taunt blocks metronome. Good news for anyone who rolls that up in a metronome match, I suppose.

Edit:

Quick question. Does Uproar cause damage to Ghost types or are they unaffected?

Uproar does not damage ghost types. It does wake them up, though, and prevent them from going to sleep for as long as it lasts.

 

[Squornshellous Beta]

And in a scenario such as that where all of a Pokémon's moves are blocked, the Pokémon is forced to Struggle, correct?

 

[Negrek]

Generally I wait one action before the pokémon starts to struggle, but it would be fine to have them always struggle instead.

do the sig-dependent natural gifts also never miss?

also, the anchor next to nature power.

 

[M&F]

Natural Gift as used by a Pokémon with a non-damage dealing signature move causes no damage. Is it still treated as an offensive, physical move?

No, they have base 100% accuracy like most attacks but are affected by evasion and accuracy modifiers and so on.

Natural Gift as used by a Pokémon with a non-damage dealing signature move causes no damage. Is it still treated as an offensive, physical move?

No, it's considered a non-damaging distance attack, same as disable or trick. It's neither special nor physical, offensive but not damaging.

In the revamp, nature power will be changed to work much more closely to the way that it does in the games, so enjoy your never-miss normal attack while you still can

 

[1. Luftballon]

(you mean natural gift?)

and you still have to fix this:

Nature Power - Varies Varies 100%[/anchor]

 

[Negrek]

Yes, natural gift.

 

[1. Luftballon]

defense curl, earthquake, giga drain, and jump kick also have the [/anchor] problem.

 

[M&F]

No, it's considered a non-damaging distance attack, same as disable or trick. It's neither special nor physical, offensive but not damaging.

So, would Taunt stop it?

 

[Negrek]

Yes.

 

[Dave Strider]

Would Earth Power work on somewhere not connected to the ground, eg, a floating platform?

 

[Negrek]

No.

 

[....]

How long do stat modifiers last?

 

[Negrek]

Some people don't have them fade. I usually go with three rounds or so, unless I don't think they should fade/feel they ought to expire earlier.

 

[blazheirio889]

I recall seeing a contest appeal that started with an Arcanine entering the stage, surrounded by multiple Will-o-Wisps. Would it be possible to create that many in a single action (say, three or four?) and have them orbit a Pokemon's body for extended periods of time, with or without Psychic manipulation? The Pokemon in question isn't very good with Psychic, though, nor is it a Fire-type, if that makes a difference.

 

[Squornshellous Beta]

Oh, another Sleep Talk question to make my generator correct: A Smeargle using a Sketched Sleep Talk can call Sketch, yes?

Sounds a bit complex without the use of psychic to help. Will-o-wisp is generally one per action and pretty erratic.

If it has any sketches left, yes.
