Having a transition in the energy use makes sense right D<
[Spoony] Abra (M) Synchronise
Signature Attribute: Blinking Reflex
Teleportation is an abra’s natural ability almost from birth, and all abra know how to teleport. It is also an easy way to avoid doing crazy things like walking up stairs, and very efficient when you exclude the energy cost. Because he’d been teleporting all his life, it became easier for Spoony to teleport than other teleport-capable pokémon. It still required conscious thought at that point, and a little bit of energy, but that wasn’t too much to ask for to move his rather frail body around.
Once he’d managed to turn teleportation into an efficient and easy way to get to places, he found stuff like walking had been rendered obsolete. Teleportation meant that he didn’t have to worry about obstacles or time, and it was so much easier to sneak up on others. He didn’t like walking, anyway, so he just… stopped. He started to solely use teleportation to get everywhere, and as he wasn’t really that adventurous anyway, so he rarely needed to get to places he’d never seen before. The few occasions he did have to do it, he’d make short teleportation leaps within the confines of his vision, until he got where he needed to go. This constant practise made it even easier to teleport, and in turn there was even less of a reason to walk any more than a few steps at once, if even that. Lack of physical exercise started to take its toll on his body, weakening it physically, but his mental abilities weren’t affected.
Effects: Whenever Spoony needs to get from point A to B, he teleports instead of running or any other type of movement. For short-range teleports (under two metres), he doesn’t use any energy and can teleport up to three times an action. Teleports under three metres take 1% energy and longer-ranged teleports use 2%. If he uses a move that can combo with Teleport, he can perform the combo and use up only one action. Upon being sent out into battle he has an attack and defence decrease of -4 each that doesn’t naturally fade, and any physical attacks are executed as if he has half his usual base speed, plus any speed modifiers.
He cannot be forced to forget or otherwise refuse to teleport any more than a usual pokémon would forget their usual method of movement in the middle of a battle; teleportation no longer truly counts as a move for him. If the opponent is otherwise able to prevent him from going intangible, if he requires the type of movement that would usually cause him to teleport, he can at most take several steps when performing another action.
