If you use leech seed on a poisoned Pokemon, you get poisoned.
>>
>>27207193
If your pokemon is clearly flying, levitating or a variation, it doesn't get him by Earthquake (Beedrill, Dustox, etc.)
>>
Thunder has 100% acc on steel types, and has higher accuracy based on how big the pokemon is.
>>
Flying is no longer a type, and Levitate no longer an ability. Flight is a passive status given to any 'mon that can levitate or fly, granting immunity to ground-affected moves.

Gravity and weight changing abilities/moves remove said passive for a time.

Bonemerang can actually hit birds.

Grass and Normal types no longer do x1 to Ice types but x0.5.

Ice pokemon are now neutral to ground and resist rock.
>>
>>27207671
How does Ice resist a rock?

Pokemon take recoil damage when attacking a steel type with a physical attack.

All entry hazards only last 3 switch ins, and get balanced around it.

It's really hard ice.
>>
>>27207193
logically speaking you could extend that to using leech seed/drain punch/HP absorbing moves on any poison type
>>
If the battle setting isn't water, then water Pokemon (particularly fish) are at a huge disadvantage because all they can do is flop around. Conversely, if the setting is water, then those who can't swim/fly are at a huge disadvantage.

There is no Bug type. Bug type Pokemon get swapped to things which make more sense for them. Dragon Type gets relegated to Legendaries and Pseudo-Legendaries only. Fairy gets relabeled as Light.
>>
>>27211386
Man for as hyped as dragon is as a type it's so disappointing how they're becoming more common.

Pokemon now have different innate evasiveness scores corresponding to their size and Speed.
Positive scores are neutralized by status effects.
>>
Female pokemon have lower attack, special attack, special defense, defense and speed than their male counter parts.

Male pokemon have lower hp since females usually live longer.

Ice is super effective against water.

Electric is super effective against steel.

Using recovery moves consecutively reduces the amount healed each time(first time 50%, next 40%, next 30% etc).

Regenerator heals 1/4 instead of 1/3 when switching out.
>>
>>27212077
Electric could also beat Dark, since it powers lightbulbs?

Water type weak to flying type.
because birds eat fish...

Male: Attack, Defence, boost
Female: Sp ATtack, Sp Defence boost
Speed and hp depend on itself - Bigger pokemon are slower but have more hp, smaller are faster and have smaller hp
I would like it,

Tri Attack deals Super Effective damage if the target would take SE damage from an Ice, Fire, and/or Electric attack, whichever would prove most advantageous.
>>
>>27213385
What about Flying-type moves? Do they get moved to their own element?
>>
>>27213214
Fire could also beat dark, since it creates light.

Psychic could also beat Dark, because it offers bright ideas.

Water types should also beat Dark because of bio luminescent fish.
>>
>>27213447
I like the idea of Dark and Psychic kicking each other's asses.
>>
>>27207193
stealth rock is removed when a rock type switches in

leech seed doesn't affect magic guard clefable though.

If you use earthquake on a Pokemon that digs you do double damage
If you use Thunder on a Pokemon that used fly you have double accuracy

pixilate, aerilate, etc not make affected moves use double pp.

Give Pangoro Sucker Punch.
>>
Psychic becomes weak to Electric (shock therapy)
>>
If a flying pokemon gets paralyzed it falls to the ground

Remove x4 weakness

x4 weakness is reduced to x3

Earthquake hitting digging mons harder is already a thing.

Both of these things are already things, except Thunder cannot miss.

Weather conditions give one-stage evasion bonus to same-typing Pokemon or Pokemon that resist any damage effects from them. However, when using Fly, if the field is under sunlight/harsh sunlight, the opposing Pokemon's evasion is counted as 0 on the turn that it hits. Fly user's accuracy is still taken into account.

When under air current conditions, Fly's accuracy is reduced, but base power is boosted to 130 if it hits.

If Blizzard is used while rain is in effect, the weather condition is changed to hail instead for its remaining turns. Heavy rain remains unaffected. If sunlight takes over hail/rain, a fog effect is applied to the field for two turns before sunlight kicks in. This does not occur with heavy rain/harsh sunlight.

>>27215535

Every time it's fully paralyzed, it falls to the ground, taking a percentage of fall damage. However, this only applies to when it's able to move during its previous turn.

Full paralyze - Use a move - Full paralyze : takes two instances of fall damage
Full paralyze - Full paralyze - Use a move : only one instance of fall damage at the first instance.

If a Flying Pokemon is struck by Thunder while using Fly, it also takes fall damage with a 10% flinch chance.

Pokemon now has battle terrains developed much further. These can now affect types completely, such as surfing will place you in a water surface terrain, causing all non-water, flying or levitating pokemon to become slower; and boost moves, like boosting electric and water attacks in the previous example. Terrains can be transformed as a way to counter them, such as using blizzard in the previous example to transform it into an icy field.

Of course, the online battles would be a static terrain that can't be affected by any moves or effects, making another neat element become completely irrelevant, like amie, pokeathelon stats, destroying the terrain in regular battles, etc. You know, because fuck adding new stuff

Dark type is more about pragmatism and malice. It's literally called Evil in Nippon.

Psychic beats Fairy because a logical mind dispels fairy tales and illusions, not fooled by cutesy exteriors.

>>Psychic beats Fairy because a logical mind dispels fairy tales and illusions, not fooled by cutesy exteriors.

YES. This would be excellent.

Fire Blast becomes 100% accurate under Sunny Day.

>>27207193
Pleasantly surprised more people didn't say "Remove all unique visual traits and powers and types and abilities and themes... Oh, and while you're at it remove everything that differentiates them from plain old real life animals."
>>
>>27207466
I like this idea. I think the lack of a proper Wind/Air type is a missed opportunity. It would be cool if land Pokemon had access to wind/air-based moves without needing to fly at any point.
>>
>>27216626
The why the fuck does bug beat it? since when bugs are like the just warriors fighting and magical beings fairy represent?
>>
>>27207270
>tfw Levitate finally becomes a separated ability which every Pokemon that clearly flies/levitates gets.
>>
>>27216731
Bugs are superheroes in Japan.
>>
Poison and Ice are SE against Water
Fire is SE against Poison and vice versa
Psychic is no longer SE against Poison
Rock is no longer SE against Fire
Flying is NVE against Fire (as oxygen/air causes fires to grow)
Dark loses its immunity to Psychic and is changed to half damage
Grass is no longer weak against Bug and flying, but loses its SE toward Rock
Electric is SE against Steel, but Steel loses its Fighting-type weakness
Bug is SE toward Fairy

That's what I have for now.
>>
>>27216731
Kamen rider.
The same reason why Bug and Fighting resist each other.
>>
>>27216731
Can't fool a bug.

Unnerve makes you unable to eat Leftovers in addition to unable to eat berries.

Frozen pokemon can't use Leftovers and can only use berries that un-freeze you, because how the hell do you eat while frozen?
