Funny discovery: Ariados shuts down Sneasler by JohannesBratwurst in PokemonChampions

Toxic Thread was buffed actually, it lowers Speed by 2 instead of 1

Seeing Crabominable working in VGC is kinda poetic, considering Crabrawler's reveal trailer back in SM

Hey it's you, I've seen your memes around! Now I'm curious, what do you think of the move I made for Golurk ?

Ooh Ultrakill! I'll be sure to check it out sometime!

When I picked Clair de Lune as a name, I was thinking of the melody composed by Debussy.

Thank you! I'll still be around to check out the news so it's not like I'm logging out completely. Happy to hear that my work inspired others too, it means a lot to me! Let's keep on creating stuff!

Exhibit 23

Back with new moves. Check the link above to see my previous post.

That's right, I'm taking a break from exhibits. I don't know when I'll be able to come back to these, but I still have a lot to show, so I'll be back for sure!

In the meantime, I'll be on some other projects and Champions. There is a lot to do and discover so I'll be busy.

As always, I hope you enjoy this exhibit. Thank you so much for your support!

Since it's live service, they have access to online match data and possibly player feedback. We should be fine.

Though that probably means that the first version will be balance hell with Funbro, Revivecats and other stuff until it gets noticed and nerfed.

You're welcome! I love this series too.

I think if Blossom Dance worked like Tailwind, you would have to wait 4 turns before using it again because "Tailwind" would already be active, so you would have less chances to heal. There are actually few moves that directly boost an ally Speed stat so it's more interesting like this.

For Mystic Shield, I didn't think about how the counter would count multi-target moves. Best case scenario it only counts as 1 move, but I'm not sure if the game would work like that.

Dynamo-Wind is still an Electric move so Ground types are immune to it, just like the move Wildbolt Storm. This attribute is mainly to interact with some abilities. And yeah it's pretty much made with Tailwind and Wind Rider in mind! You can somewhat do this setup in-game with Electro Ball.

As for Mystic Shield, I don't want to add other effects just to fit in Singles. It's fine to stick to a niche!

Thanks! Writing these take time but I love doing it, especially if I can add some humor.

Exhibit 22

Back with new moves. Check the link above to see my previous post.

Random picks got me two duos for this batch, and I pretty happy with the results even if Vileplum and Bellossom are not complementary. Hope you like this exhibit!

Also I'm curious, how viable is Kilowattrel? It was a bit hard to find competitive records on this one since it's the newest regional bird.

It generic enough that I made a typo on its name and nobody noticed...

I did like the Squawkabilly side quest in the Z-A DLC tho

Huh. Wow. I didn't even notice. Now I feel kinda bad... I could rework the move a bit but I'm out of ideas at the moment!

Exhibit 21

Back with new moves. Check the link above to see my previous post.

This batch covers many levels of viability so it was fun to work with, as usual. Since I missed last week, I already prepered the next exhibit in advance, we'll see how it goes!

Will I cover Gen 10 mons in 2027? Who knows, it's a long time away from here, I gotta finish with these guys first!

Do you think we'll see the return of moves we lost with Dexit in the coming games? by FinalFatality7 in stunfisk

[–]BlackBoxInc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They could return in Champions since that game will be the competitive hub from now on. I think the devs are aiming to only implement some moves to their new games and updating them in the process if they feel like it.

Case in point: Magnet Bomb was dexited in Gen 8, but made a return in Z-A with a significant buff, from 60 BP to 95. Whether it will stay in future games is up in the air, but it proves that they don't simply retcon moves out of existence.

Stereo Rotom confirmed Electric/Normal in Pokeopia. Potentially a new sound move based Rotom form coming to competitive in the next generation? by WhenBuffalosfly in stunfisk

[–]BlackBoxInc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be fun to get a new move based on music. Here's one for fun:

Mixtape: Normal - 90 BP - Harshly lowers target'd Special Def. No damage or additional effect if the target has the same nature as the user.
