There is now a hold item that acts as a fifth move slot. Would this change the metagame?

Obviously.

That's actually a fairly interesting idea. Give up the item slot for a fifth move. Could create some fun possibilities.
>>25608865
Yes.

Gengar gets even more annoying
Taunt
WoW
Disable
Substitute
Shadow ball/Sludge Wave

The hold Item is the TM of the move, limiting move 5 to a TM move

but now has no focus sash, so if you outspeed it, it's pretty easy to handle
My bro suffers less

Yeah but if you manage to get a safe switch in and get it behind a sub. It can be a real bitch to get around with all those status moves.
>>25609014
That seems a bit overpowered if it can be just -any- TM. In my opinion, it would seem more balanced if the pokemon can actually learn the move
Although, without the restriction, it could make the game a bit more interesting
I want an item that negates the ability so we can have true Gen 1 battles in S/M with the ability to transfer over
It would be even cooler if it made the moves function as they did in Gen 1
>>25609034
That assumes that the Gengar is sent out/switches in on a Pokemon that can KO it. If it switches into a wall that relies on Toxic spam then you're forced to switch out. And then Gengar has a chance to deploy its sub, will-o-wisp your sweeper, disable, etc.

I should have specified *online battles

Prankster's get a big buff in VGC.
doesn't everyone use knock off anyway, the slot would just be lost in the first turn.
