<div class="usermessage" width="100%">WELCOME! Please leave feedback & suggestions on my Talk Page </div>

If you're a programmer, sprite artist, or game developer interested in developing a fan-made game, let's collaborate!

Updated: 05/10/2019


==About Myself==
* I am a Bulbapedia user from Florida, USA, aged 26 who has played every generation since Gen I. Well, except for Gen V – while I appreciate the plot in BW, that was a poorly conceieved generation overall with a lot of flimsily designed species.
* I am only a fan of the primary canon of Pokémon games.
* I do not support or engage in Poké-shipping.


[Note: In the following section, lower numbers indicate higher preference for that enumerated item.]
* favorite Pokémon: 
** 1: Lucario - Has satisfactory Speed and a diverse movepool with exceptional moves for Offense. Dark Pulse and Aura Sphere complete the wonderful package!
** 2: Sceptile - Finally! Here comes a phenomenal Grass-type for speedy Offense.
** 3: Venasaur - Has a diverse movepool with exceptional Support moves.
** 4: Vigoroth

* favorite types:
** 1: Grass - Thankfully, [[Generation IV]] was very generous with this type.
** 2: Fighting - Poliwrath, Blaziken (and its carbon copy Infernape), Breloom, Gallade, and Lucario as well as the increased availability of TM31 Brick Break (for Electabuzz, Ampharos, Magmar, various normal types, etc.) in [[Generation III]] made this type worthwhile additons to my teams. Alas, if only Donphan and Granbull could join their ranks! (see "IF ONLY, IF ONLY").

* favorite moves: 
** 1: Aura Sphere
** 2: Leaf Blade
** 3: Brick Break
** 4: Dark Void
** 5: Fire Punch / Ice Punch / Thunder Punch

==Changes to Pokémon Moves==
* {{m|Vice Grip}} should be {{type|Steel}} and gain a boost from {{a|Tough Claws}}. Additionally, this move has a 30% chance of lowering the target's {{stat|Defense}} stat by one stage after each use <del>should have an increased [[critical hit]] ratio</del>.

* {{type|Normal}} by default, '''{{m|Flail}} now takes on the user's primary type when attacking.''' Accordingly, this move cannot receive STAB from its user but its type is considered when hitting the target.
* '''{{m|Spike Cannon}} and ''Erosion'' ({{m|Chip Away}}) should be {{type|Ground}}.'''
* <del>{{m|Harden}} and {{m|Razor Shell}} should be {{type|Rock}}.</del>

** Furthermore, all non-{{type|Psychic}} and non-{{type|Ghost}} Pokémon have {{m|Disable}} removed from their respective movelists.
* '''{{m|Roar of Time}} and {{m|Spacial Rend}} should also both be {{type|Psychic}}.'''
** Furthermore, {{m|Roar of Time}} should be a {{Cat|sound-based moves|sound-based move}}.
* {{m|Dream Eater}} and {{m|Aura Sphere}} should be {{t|Ghost}}-type.
** {{m|Aura Sphere}} should be {{type|Ghost}} by default but change type according to the user's first type, to be superceded by the [[Plate]] the user is holding or the effects of an ability or move that would change the user's first type during battle.
* {{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Memento}} should now be {{type|Ghost}} but as status moves can still be used against {{type|Normal}} targets.

** {{m|Mega Kick}} should be {{type|Fighting}} with its base accuracy boosted to 85%. Reduce its base power to 95.
** Now  {{type|Fighting}}, {{m|Bind}} should only be learned by Pokémon with arms to restrain the target.
* Reduce the accuracy of all {{type|Fighting}} damaging moves with a base accuracy of 100% or 95% to 90% – EXCEPT for {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Focus Blast}}, {{m|Counter}}, and {{m|Close Combat}} (those moves retain a base accuracy of 100%).
* {{m|Smelling Salts}} is now a {{type|Fighting}} [[status move|status]] move that resets any stat reductions for the user and all allies to 0 as well as curing all instances of {{status|sleep}} or {{status|paralysis}} on the user's side of the field.
** As long as no Pokémon on the user's side of the field has reduced stats or suffers from {{status|sleep}} or {{status|paralysis}}, using {{m|Smelling Salts}} (again) raises the accuracy of the user and all allies one level.
* {{m|Disable}} should now be {{type|Fighting}} as well, renamed as ''Chi Block'' in Japanese. This move now makes contact. Disable also inflicts damage as a [[physical move|physical]] move.
* '''Now {{type|Normal}}, {{m|Megahorn}} should be a variation of {{m|Super Fang}}, albeit with 85% accuracy'''.
* {{m|Hex}} should be the {{type|Ghost}} [[special move|special]] counterpart of {{m|Disable}} but also inflicts damage.

** new effects of {{m|Calm Mind}} → boosts user's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} one stage each.
** new effects of {{m|Cosmic Power}} → boosts user's {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} one stage each.

* '''{{m|Bulk Up}} should be {{type|Normal}}. Furthermore, this move now boosts the user's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} by one stage each.'''
* '''{{m|Focus Energy}} should be {{type|Fighting}} and take on Bulk Up's (former) effects: raises the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat and {{stat|Defense}} stat by one stage each.'''
** Furthermore, {{m|Focus Punch}} and {{m|Focus Blast}} can be used as a single-turn attack immediately after using Focus Energy.
** All non-{{type|Fighting}} Pokémon have this move removed from their respective movelists.
* The base power of {{m|Jump Kick}} is ''limited to 70'' and its crash damage from missing is now 1/4 of the damage it would have dealt, rounded down.
* The base power of {{m|High Jump Kick}} is ''limited to 100'' and its crash damage from missing is now 1/2 of the damage it would have dealt, rounded down. However, similar to {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, this move can also hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turns of {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, and {{m|Sky Drop}} – IGNORING any type resistance by the target.
* '''{{m|Sky Uppercut}} IGNORES any type resistance by a target if this move lands during the semi-invulnerable turns of said target's attempt to use {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, or {{m|Sky Drop}}.'''
* If it hits, as a secondary effect {{m|Submission}} prevents the target from attacking during its next turn. If the user moves before the target, the target will <del>also</del> instead forfeit its move during the same turn.
* The base power of {{m|Triple Kick}} should '''double''' with each successive strike: 15 the first strike, 30 the second strike, and 60 the third strike for a ''cumulative'' 105 base power. (Each of Triple Kick's strikes has a separate accuracy check. If any strike fails, the move ends.)
* {{m|Skull Bash}} should be executed as a +1 increased priority move on the (second) turn it hits the target. <del>Its base power is ''reduced to 90''.</del>
* ''{{m|Lunge}} should be executed as a +1 increased priority move.''
* ''{{m|Bounce}} should be executed as a +1 increased priority move on the second turn when it strikes the target.''
* As an added effect, {{m|First Impression}} should have a 50% chance of making the target flinch if the move lands.
* {{m|Mega Punch}} is no more! Unless otherwise noted above, all prior instances of Mega Punch become {{m|Dynamic Punch}}.
* {{m|Double-Edge}} now ''deftly rams the target with horns, fins, or blades ignoring type-resistances to inflict damage''. The user still incurs recoil damage equal to ⅓ of the damage done to the target. Reduce PP to 10 (max 16).
* {{m|Mud Bomb}} is no more! All prior instances of Mud Bomb become {{m|Mud Shot}}. Also, the accuracy of {{m|Mud Shot}} is decreased to 90%.
* '''{{m|Echoed Voice}} should be renamed ''Crescendo''.'''
* '''{{m|Thunder Wave}} should be renamed ''Electro Pulse''.'''
* {{m|Powder}} should be renamed ''Dry Dust''.
* {{m|Brick Break}} should be renamed ''Blitz Break''.
* {{m|Flash Cannon}} should be renamed ''Luster Cannon''.

* {{type|Psychic}} {{m|Psychic Terrain}} and its associated [[terrain]] should be renamed ''Astral Terrain''.
* {{m|Chip Away}} is now {{type|Ground}} and should be renamed ''Erosion''.
* {{m|Iron Tail}}'s Spanish-language name should be ''Cola Maza''.
* '''{{m|Endeavor}} is now {{type|Dark}} and should be renamed <del>''Blackguard'' ''Assail''</del> ''Lash Out''.'''
** Furthermore, all non-{{type|Dark}} and non-{{type|Poison}} Pokémon have the original move {{m|Endeavor}} removed from their respective movelists.
* The original move {{m|Infestation}} is no more! Instead, this is the new name for the [[Z-Move]] formerly known as {{m|Savage Spin-Out}}.
* [[Z-Move]] {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} is renamed ''Pyroclastic Burst'' (or ''Pyroclasm'').
* {{m|Noble Roar}} (renamed <del>''War Cry''</del> ''Rousing Cry'') now raises the {{stat|Attack}} ''and'' {{stat|Special Attack}} of the user and all allies by one stage. This move also heals the user and all allies of {{status|sleep}} (yes, the user may use this move while {{status|sleep|asleep}}).
* Now {{type|Dark}}, {{m|Smokescreen}} gains added effects <del>is now an increased [[priority]] move (+1) that also</del> protecting the user and its allies from the effects of the moves {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Block}}, {{m|Scary Face}}, {{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Charm}}, {{m|Captivate}}, {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Glare}}, {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Swagger}}, {{m|Flatter}}, {{m|Fairy Lock}}, and {{m|Baby-Doll Eyes}} (but not {{m|Spider Web}}) as well as suppressing the effects of the abilities {{a|Intimidate}}, ''Dazzle'', {{a|Cute Charm}}, {{a|Unnerve}}, {{a|Shadow Tag}}, or {{a|Tinted Lens}} (but not {{a|Keen Eye}} or {{a|Compound Eyes}}) for the remainder of the turn. If any of those moves are used by an opponent in the same turn after {{m|Smokescreen}} has been activated, these moves will fail.
** Used during the same turn, {{m|Defog}} can clear the effects of this revamped Smokescreen.
** <del>Furthermore, any {{type|Dark}} move by the opponent targeting the user of Smokescreen or its allies will also fail through the end of the turn.</del>
* {{m|Barrier}} is now an increased [[priority]] move (+1) that boosts the user's {{stat|Defense}} by two stages <del>for the remainder of that turn</del> through end of next/following turn. The temporary stat boost from this move cannot be passed onto an ally by {{m|Baton Pass}} but can be calculated to use {{m|Stored Power}} while still in effect.
* {{m|Tickle}} is now an increased [[priority]] move (+1) that decreases the target's base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} by one stage each.
* <del>{{m|Withdraw}} is now an increased [[priority]] move (+1) that boosts the user's {{stat|Defense}} by one stage.</del>
* {{m|Sand Attack}} is now an increased [[priority]] move (+1). As an added effect, this move has a 30% chance of making the target flinch outright instead of the usual accuracy reduction.
* {{m|Withdraw}} is now an increased [[priority]] move (+1) that boosts the user's {{stat|Defense}} by two stages only for the remainder of the current turn.
* Now {{type|Bug}}, {{m|Constrict}} is now an increased [[priority]] move (+1) that prevents the target from attacking for the remainder of the turn unless the target uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}, {{m|Thrash}}, or {{m|Outrage}} (but not {{m|Petal Dance}}) to nullify its effects. This move's accuracy is reduced to 90% and the user may still receive recoil damage equal to 1/16 of its total HP if the target was about to use a damaging physical or special attack.
* {{m|Tickle}} is now an increased [[priority]] move (+1) that decreases the user's {{stat|Defense}} by two stages
* Now {{m|Mirror Move}} only copies the last [[physical move|physical]] move that was used by an opponent, even if it was used in a previous turn. Similarly, {{m|Copycat}} only copies the last [[special move|special]] move that was used by an opponent, even if it was used in a previous turn.
* Reduce the base power of {{m|Petal Dance}} to 70. As an additional effect, the user's ability temporarily changes to {{a|Flower Veil}} while using this move. After concluding the move, the user might have both its {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats increased by one stage each, or face a 30% chance of {{status|Confusion}} instead.
** By comparison, {{m|Petal Blizzard}} is now {{type|Fairy}} (see next note).
* '''{{m|Heart Stamp}}, {{m|Heart Swap}}, {{m|Lucky Chant}}, {{m|Healing Wish}}, {{m|Heal Pulse}}, {{m|Heal Block}}, {{m|Heal Bell}}, {{m|Doom Desire}}, {{m|Mist Ball}}, <del>{{m|Luster Purge}}</del>, {{m|Lunar Dance}}, {{m|Petal Blizzard}}, {{m|Dizzy Punch}}, {{m|Assist}}, {{m|Present}}, {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Synchronoise}}, <del>{{m|Simple Beam}}</del>, <del>{{m|Wake-Up Slap}},</del> <del>{{m|Baton Pass}},</del> <del>{{m|Comet Punch}},</del> {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Magic Coat}}, {{m|Life Dew}}, {{m|Trump Card}}, and {{m|Mirror Move}} should all be {{type|Fairy}}.'''
** {{m|Dizzy Punch}} is now available via [[TM48]], replacing {{m|Round}}. Dizzy Punch now has a '''50% chance''' of {{status|Confusion|confusing}} the target.
** {{m|Present}} is now a {{type|Fairy}} version of {{m|Pollen Puff}}.
** {{m|Play Nice}} is no more!
** <del>{{m|Simple Beam}} is now {{type|Fairy}} and should be renamed ''Simple Charm''.</del>
* '''{{m|Swift}} should also be {{type|Fairy}}.'''
** {{m|Fairy Wind}} is no more! All prior instances of {{m|Fairy Wind}} become {{m|Swift}}. Furthermore, all non-{{type|Fairy}} Pokémon – except for {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Minior}} – have the original move {{m|Swift}} removed from their respective movelists.
* {{m|Lucky Chant}} prevents opponents from landing critical hits on the user's party for five turns. As an additional effect, damage from super-effective moves against {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon in battle is reduced to normal damage (×1) while this move is in effect.
* {{m|Fairy Lock}} prevents all Pokémon on the field from switching out or fleeing during their next turn, though {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon are unaffected. As an additional effect, {{type|Poison}} moves only inflict normal damage (×1) against {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon in battle while this move is in effect.
** Now {{m|Fairy Lock}} CAN affect {{type|Ghost}} targets.
* {{m|Charm}} lowers the {{stat|Attack}} stat of the target by two stages but '''as an additional effect, the target cannot inflict super-effective damage during the turn this move is in effect'''. However, this move will fail if the target's Attack cannot be reduced any further.
** <del>Furthermore, {{m|Charm}} can end/undo the effects of {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Curse}} can end/undo the effects of {{m|Charm}} – in-battle message will read "Eevee's Charm removed (the target's) Curse" (???)</del>
* The base power vis-à-vis PP count for {{m|Trump Card}} is adjusted to count down from 5 (rather than "remaining PP"). Therefore, increasing the base PP of this move for a given Pokémon using [[PP Max]] or [[PP Up]] allows for up to three more uses of Trump Card at base power 200. Also, Trump Card is now {{type|Fairy}}. 
* {{m|Last Resort}} is now a [[physical move|physical]] {{type|Normal}} version of {{m|Trump Card}}.
* '''{{m|Life Dew}} should be {{type|Fairy}} while {{m|Purify}} should be {{type|Water}}'''.
* {{m|Luster Purge}} is no longer a is a damage-dealing move. Instead it becomes the new name for the non-damaging Psychic-type status move {{m|Magic Coat}} and all instances of the former Luster Purge or formerly named Magic Coat become this move. 
* {{m|Growth}} is now {{type|Grass}} and '''as an additional effect, this move also increases the user's {{stat|Special Defense}} one stage per use during {{weather|harsh sunlight}}'''.
* As an additional effect, {{m|Flash}} also decreases the target's {{stat|Special Defense}} one stage per use.
* '''As an additional effect, {{m|Soak}} also causes the target to become [[grounded]] for 3 turns.''' Furthermore, {{m|Soak}} will fail against a target with the ability ''Slick'' <del>or a target that is at least partly {{type|Water}}</del>.
* {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Steamroller}} become the {{type|Fire}} and {{type|Bug}} variations, respectively, of {{m|Rollout}}/{{m|Ice Ball}}. {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Steamroller}} retain their individual secondary effects.
** All four moves now have a base power of 40 and will continue for up to three consecutive turns (reduced from five turns) until reaching a base power of 120 (doubled to 240 under effects of {{m|Defense Curl}}).
** All four moves can receive a boost from {{m|Defense Curl}}.
* {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Stomp}}, and {{m|Horn Attack}} are all counterparts with base power reduced to 60 plus a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch.
* '''{{m|Muddy Water}} is now {{type|Ground}}''' and becomes a damage-dealing variation of {{m|Mud Sport}} – ie, in addition to inflicting damage on all adjacent opponents, this move reduces the base power of {{type|Electric}} moves by 50% on both sides in battle for five turns (even if the user switches out). Also, the accuracy of {{m|Muddy Water}} is increased to 90%.
* <del>{{m|Sky Attack}} is no more! All prior instances of this move become {{m|Fly}}.</del>
* The initial 'charging turn' of {{m|Sky Attack}} becomes a {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} similar to {{m|Fly}}. In effect, Sky Attack is now a stronger version of Fly.
* {{m|Belch}} is now a [[special move]] version of {{m|Natural Gift}} but can be used regardless of weather conditions.
* As an additional effect, the moves {{m|Lock-On}} and {{m|Mind Reader}} allow the user to bypass an opponent's {{m|Substitute}} to attack the target directly during the following turn. Furthermore, {{m|Lock-On}} and {{m|Mind Reader}} allow the user's next move to hit the target during the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of {{m|Fly}}/{{m|Sky Attack}}, {{m|Sky Drop}}, {{m|Bounce}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Dive}}, {{m|Phantom Force}}, or {{m|Shadow Force}}
* As an additional effect, the moves {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, {{m|Foresight}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}} will cause the target's {{m|Substitute}} to fade immediately.
* {{m|Cross Poison}} deals damage and now has a '''30% chance''' of {{status|poison}}ing the target. Furthermore, its base power is doubled if the target is {{status|poisoned}}, but it will also cure the target of poison. This move's accuracy is reduced to '''90%'''.
* The base power of {{m|Leech Life}} is '''limited to 40''' and 75% of the damage dealt to the target is restored to the user – effectively a {{type|Bug}} variation of {{m|Draining Kiss}}.
* The effects of {{m|Electrify}} are folded into {{m|Ion Deluge}} under a single move, an ''improved'' {{m|Ion Deluge}} – ie, Ion Deluge is an increased [[priority]] move (+1) that makes the target's move {{type|Electric}} for that turn, even if it is a [[status move]]. Furtheremore, Ion Deluge causes all {{type|Normal}} moves (including [[status move]]s) to instead become {{type|Electric}} for the remainder of the current turn.
* '''Reduce the base PP of {{m|Stealth Rock}} to 5. Furthermore, each instance of Stealth Rock now fades ("runs out") after striking three targets, requiring another setup to strike additional targets.'''
* {{m|Surf}} is now a two-turn move but the user of the move does not become {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable}} during the initial turn. After execution on the second turn, the [[terrain]] becomes ''Tidal Surge'' for five turns (see ''Changes to Battle Mechanics & Abilities section'' below).
** turn 1, in-battle message: ''[user] seems to be concentrating on a receding tide…''
** turn 2, in-battle message: ''A wave comes crashing in! [user] used Surf.''
** Surf can be executed immediately if ''Tidal Surge'' [[terrain]] is in effect.
** as an additional effect, successfully using Surf clears the field of [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]]. '''(tbd if this applies to all entry hazards or only opposing entry hazards.)'''
* As an additional effect, {{m|Grassy Terrain}} covers the field to end the effects of {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Spikes}}, and {{m|Toxic Spikes}} (but not {{m|Sticky Web}}) for as along as this [[terrain]] remains in effect.
* {{m|Heat Wave}} now clears the [[terrain]] effects of {{m|Grassy Terrain}}, {{a|Grassy Surge}}, and ''Icy Terrain'' upon first use. Using Heat Wave a second consecutive turn triggers ''Scorched Earth'' terrain.
* Using {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Icy Wind}}, {{m|Frost Breath}}, or {{m|Glaciate}} a second consecutive turn triggers ''Icy Terrain''.
* Rather than the unusual [[physical move|physical]] damage gimmick, {{m|Psyshock}} instead has a 30% chance of inflicting {{status|paralysis}} as an additional effect.
* {{m|Force Palm}} <del>now inflicts damage as a special move using the user's {{stat|Attack}} base stat</del> is now a [[special move|special]] {{type|Fighting}} attack but is also grants STAB-boost if the user is {{type|Psychic}} (this STAB-boost is not stackable, ie a dual {{t|Fighting}}/{{type|Psychic}} will not get a double STAB-boost). That said, Force Palm retains its secondary effect: 30% chance of {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} the target.
** This move is now eligible for a boost from the ability {{a|Mega Launcher}} but is also blocked by the ability {{a|Bulletproof}}.
* {{m|Brick Break}} (renamed ''Blitz Break'') and {{m|Karate Chop}} should also receive a boost from the ability {{a|Iron Fist}}.
* '''{{m|Incinerate}} is renamed ''Wicked Flame'', which now only hits any adjacent target (one at a time) and renders their held item un-usable unless the target switches out; however, any {{Berries}} held by the target are destroyed and cannot be cannot be recovered using {{m|Recycle}}, {{a|Pickup}}, or {{a|Harvest}}. As an additional effect, this move also grants STAB-boost if the user is {{type|Dark}} or {{type|Ghost}} (this STAB-boost is not stackable, ie a dual {{t|Fire}}/{{type|Dark}} will not get a double STAB-boost).'''
* Now, {{m|Sweet Scent}} lowers the {{stat|Attack}} ''and'' {{stat|Special Attack}} of all adjacent opponents one stage each per use. As an added an effect, {{m|Sweet Scent}} can also be used on an adjacent ally in battle to boost its {{stat|Special Defense}} and {{stat|Speed}} one stage each per use.
* "Razing the target with mystical multi-colored flames of great intensity", {{m|Sacred Fire}} now inflicts super-effective damage against {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Dark}} targets as additional effects. Furthermore, this move can hit targets during the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of {{m|Phantom Force}} or {{m|Shadow Force}} and if it does, it will have its power doubled against said target.
* "Slamming the target with a fire-proof tendrils to even snuff out fires", {{m|Frenzy Plant}} also inflicts super-effective damage against {{type|Fire}} targets as an additional effect. Furthermore, this move can hit targets during the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of {{m|Dig}} and if it does, it will have its power doubled against said target.
* "Razing the target with a powerful explosion", {{m|Blast Burn}} also inflicts super-effective damage against {{type|Water}} targets as an additional effect. Furthermore, this move can hit targets during the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of {{m|Fly}}/{{m|Sky Attack}}, {{m|Sky Drop}}, or {{m|Bounce}} and if it does, it will have its power doubled against said target.
* {{m|Hydro Cannon}} is renamed ''Storm Surge''. "Crashing a giant wave onto a target with the force to uproot trees", ''Storm Surge'' also inflicts super-effective damage against {{type|Grass}} targets. Furthermore, this move can hit targets during the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of {{m|Dive}}, and if it does, it will have its power doubled for that Pokémon.
* {{m|Quash}} now has priority of +1 (+4?), so it is used before all moves that do not have increased priority in a given turn. The success rate will be halved between successful uses of this move across consecutive turns.
* {{m|Poison Powder}}, {{m|Stun Spore}}, {{m|Sleep Powder}}, and {{m|Spore}} should be all be able to afflict {{t|Grass}}-type targets.
* {{m|Rock Tomb}} should be the {{type|Rock}} counterpart of {{m|Metal Burst}}.
* '''{{m|Fake Out}} should be usable more than once per battle, specifically, the user can hit any target only on the first turn it has entered battle and not been switched out.'''
* {{m|Razor Wind}} becomes a single-turn {{type|Flying}} move that inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of causing the target to {{status|flinch}}. More importantly, Razor Wind is also super-effective against {{type|Rock}} targets.
** {{m|Air Cutter}} is no more! All prior instances of this move become Razor Wind.
** Razor Wind targets all adjacent opponents.
** <del>{{m|Air Slash}} is no more! All prior instances of this move become Razor Wind.</del>
** {{m|Air Slash}} takes on the effects of the former Air Cutter: deals damage and has an increased [[critical hit]] ratio. However, this move can only hit a single target at a time, including non-adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.
* {{m|Leaf Tornado}} is no more! All prior instances of this move become {{m|Leaf Storm}}. 
** The base power of {{m|Leaf Storm}} is reduced to '''100''' and its PP is increased to 10 (max 16).
* <del>The effects of {{m|Sticky Web}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are combined into a single move, an ''improved'' {{m|Sticky Web}}. All prior instances of {{m|Spider Web}} become {{m|Sticky Web}}.</del>
** <del>{{m|Sticky Web}} sets an [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazard]] around the opposing Pokémon, which lowers their {{stat|Speed}} stat by one stage upon switching in. It doesn't affect {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} Ability, or Pokémon holding an [[Air Balloon]].</del>
** <del>Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Clear Body}} and {{a|White Smoke}} will not have their Speed lowered, and Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Contrary}} will instead have their Speed raised by one stage. Sticky Web triggers the effects of the Abilities {{a|Defiant}} and {{a|Competitive}}.
** <del>However, Sticky Web also prevents all affected targets from switching out or fleeing (including via {{m|Teleport}}). It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. It will hit the target even if it has used {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}.</del>
** <del>The moves {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Defog}} remove the effect of Sticky Web; Rapid Spin removes Sticky Web set around the user, while Defog removes Sticky Web set on both sides.</del>
* <del>As an additional effect, {{m|Sticky Web}} covers the field to end the effects of other [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Spikes}}, and {{m|Toxic Spikes}} (but not {{m|Sticky Web}}) placed on the user's side of the field by foes for as along as this move remains in effect.</del>
* {{m|Brine}} is also super-effective against {{type|Steel}} targets.
* {{m|Scald}} is also super-effective against {{type|Grass}} and {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
* {{m|Drill Peck}} is also super-effective against {{type|Rock}} targets.
* {{m|Icicle Crash}} is also super-effective against {{type|Rock}} targets.
* {{m|Superpower}} is now super-effective against {{type|Steel}} targets (see ''Changes to Battle Mechanics & Abilities'' section).
* {{m|Eruption}} is now a ''Physical'' move and serves as the {{type|Fire}} counterpart of <del>{{m|Reversal}} and {{m|Flail}}</del> {{m|U-turn}}.
* '''{{m|Acrobatics}} is now the {{type|Flying}} counterpart of {{m|Knock Off}}.'''
* {{m|Kinesis}} – {{p|Kadabra}} and {{p|Alakazam}}'s [[signature move]] – is now the {{type|Psychic}} counterpart of {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} the target.
* {{m|Wring Out}} is now a [[physical move|physical]] move.
* '''{{m|Mud-Slap}} is now a [[physical move|physical]] move.'''
* '''{{m|Magnet Bomb}} is now a [[special move|special]] move.'''
** {{m|Magnet Bomb}} is now a {{cat|Trapping moves|trapping move}} that ''blasts a target with {{wp|magnetic domain|ionized particles}} that magnetize it towards the user'', preventing the affected Pokémon from switching or escaping while the user remains on the field. In effect, this is a substitute to having a Pokémon with the ability {{a|Magnet Pull}}.
** Now {{m|Magnet Bomb}} CAN affect {{type|Ghost}} targets.
* {{m|Tri Attack}} now has a '''30%''' chance of {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}}, {{status|Freeze|freezing}}, or {{status|burn}}ing the target.
* {{m|Dark Pulse}} should be the {{type|Dark}} counterpart of {{m|Tri Attack}}, including secondary effects: '''30%''' chance of {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}}, {{status|Freeze|freezing}}, or {{status|burn}}ing the target.
* Now {{m|Bulldoze}} only affects all adjacent ''foes''.
** as an additional effect, successfully using Bulldoze clears [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] placed on the user's side of the field by foes.
* <del>Now {{m|Overheat}} only affects all adjacent ''foes''.</del>
* Now {{m|Discharge}} and {{m|Parabolic Charge}} only affect all adjacent ''foes''.
* ''Now {{m|Purify}} can cure the user or any other ally in the user's party of a non-volatile status condition, only one target per use.'' Furthermore, {{m|Purify}} is now {{type|Water}}.
* No longer the [[signature move]] for the {{p|Exeggcute}} evolutionary line, {{m|Barrage}} is now a multi-strike {{type|Fire}} move that "strikes targets over a wide attack area" (ie, all adjacent ''foes'', the only multi-strike attack to hit multiple foes at once) 2-5 times per use with a base power of 25 per strike. There is a ~33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a ~33.3% chance it will hit 3 times, a ~16.7% chance it will hit 4 times, and a ~16.7% chance it will hit 5 times.
* Now the type of {{m|Multi-Attack}} depends on the type of [[Memory]] OR [[Plate]] held by the user, being Normal-type if no Memory or Plate is held.

* The [[Grass Egg Group]] is renamed the ''Botanic'' Egg Group.
* [[Nidoran]] ♂ and ♀ should be classified together as gender differences within the same specie.  
* Now {{type|Dragon}}, Lickitung joins the [[Dragon Egg Group]] and can learn {{m|Dragon Tail}} as an [[Egg Move]].
* Now {{type|Dragon}}, Dunsparce joins the [[Dragon Egg Group]]. {{m|Dragon Tail}}, {{m|Thrash}}, and {{m|Twister}} are added to Dunsparce's [[Egg Move]] list.
* <del>{{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, and {{p|Porygon-Z}} now belong to their own Egg Group, the ''Porygon'' Egg Group, which is also unique for creating up to three(?) eggs at a time (''Porygon breeds virally!'')</del>
* {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, and {{p|Porygon-Z}} cannot breed.

* {{p|Pyukumuku}} joins the [[Water 3]] Egg Group.


==Changes to HMs==
* [[HM01]] {{m|Cut}} is no more! Instead it is replaced by the now-{{type|Steel}} move {{m|Slash}}, which retains an increased critical hit ratio.
* [[HM04]] {{m|Strength}} is now {{type|Fighting}} and takes on the secondary effects of {{m|Circle Throw}} but retains its base power of 80 (accuracy 90%).
** {{m|Circle Throw}} is no more!
** <del>{{m|Rock Climb}} is no more! Instead, {{m|Strength}} also takes on {{m|Rock Climb}}'s out-of-battle / overworld effects: scaling rocky surfaces, in addition to pushing large / heavy boulders.</del>
* {{m|Rock Climb}} is now {{type|Fighting}} and instead allows the user to ignore the effects of {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Mat Block}}, and {{m|Wide Guard}} (but not {{m|Aurora Veil}}) to attack a target.


==Changes to Battle Mechanics & Abilities==
* The ability to learn {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Toxic}}, {{m|Focus Blast}}, or {{m|Earthquake}} via TM should be ''much'' more limited.
* While {{m|Rain Dance}} or [[rain]] is in effect, the base damage of {{type|Water}} AND {{type|Electric}} moves will be increased by <del>50%</del> 30%.
* {{type|Normal}} is no longer immune to {{type|Ghost}} but does resist {{type|Fairy}}.
* '''{{type|Electric}} is now super-effective against {{type|Steel}}.'''
* While {{type|Ground}} remains immune to {{type|Electric}}, {{type|Rock}} is now resistant to {{type|Electric}}.
* '''{{type|Rock}} is now resistant to {{type|Dragon}}.'''
* '''{{type|Bug}} is now immune to {{type|Ghost}}.'''
* {{type|Fighting}} is no longer super-effective against {{type|Steel}} or {{type|Ice}}, inflicting only normal-damage (×1) against either type.
* {{type|Rock}} is no longer super-effective against {{type|Ice}}. {{type|Rock}} moves inflict normal-damage (×1) against {{type|Ice}} targets.
* <del>Now {{type|Water}} only inflicts normal damage (×1) against {{type|Ground}}, ie {{type|Water}} is no longer super-effective against {{type|Ground}}.</del>
* Now {{type|Grass}} only inflicts normal damage (×1) against {{type|Rock}}, ie {{type|Grass}} is no longer super-effective against {{type|Rock}}.
* {{type|Steel}} is now super-effective against {{type|Grass}}.
* '''{{type|Poison}} is now super-effective against {{type|Water}} and {{type|Ground}} as well as {{type|Grass}}.'''
** {{type|Ground}} no longer resists {{type|Poison}} and is no longer super-effective against {{type|Poison}} either.
* Both {{type|Psychic}} and {{type|Fire}} moves are now super-effective against {{type|Fairy}} targets. <del>Meanwhile, {{type|Steel}} still resists {{type|Fairy}} but is no longer super-effective against {{type|Fairy}}.</del> {{type|Steel}} is now immune to {{type|Fairy}} and remains super-effective against {{type|Fairy}}.
* '''Now {{type|Ice}} and {{type|Grass}} targets in addition to {{type|Fire}} and {{type|Poison}} targets are resistant to {{type|Fairy}} moves.'''
** {{type|Fairy}} no longer resists {{type|Bug}}, ie {{type|Bug}} moves inflict normal-damage (×1) against {{type|Fairy}} targets.
** '''Now {{type|Normal}} resists {{type|Fairy}}'''.
** {{type|Fairy}} and {{type|Ghost}} inflict normal-damage (×1) against each other.
** {{type|Fairy}} is no longer super-effective against {{type|Fighting}}; {{type|Fairy}} moves should only inflict normal-damage (×1) against {{type|Fighting}} targets.
* ''{{type|Fighting}} and {{type|Bug}} no longer resist one another, now only inflicting normal-damage (×1) against each other.''
* STAB is reduced from a ×1.5 multiplier to a ×1.33 multiplier.
* Type-order now matters: whether a type first or second affects resistance (but not STAB). For a given Pokémon, the type listed ''first'' reduces damages from a weaker-type by two-thirds (×0.33) while the type listed ''second'' reduces damages from a weaker-type by a third (×0.66). An attack that is weak against ''both'' of the target's types inflicts 1 HP in damage. (The in-battle text will read "Attack inflicted negligible damage.")
* In addition to immunity against most {{type|Ground}} moves and most entry hazards, {{a|Levitate}} also provides Pokémon with this ability immunity to the effects – positive or negative – of any [[terrain]] currently active on the field.
* Fond of sweet delicacies, a new NPC named '''Pokémon Whisperer''' allows players to change the ability of a select Pokémon to its [[Hidden Ability]] in exchange for a regional specialty: [[Pewter Crunchies]], [[Rage Candy Bar]], [[Lava Cookie]], [[Old Gateau]], [[Casteliacone]], [[Lumiose Galette]], [[Shalour Sable]], or [[Big Malasada]]
* {{a|Sheer Force}} is now the {{type|Fighting}} equivalent of {{a|Aerilate}}, {{a|Pixilate}}, etc: Sheer Force causes all Normal-type moves used by the Pokémon to become Fighting-type and receive a 30% base power boost in addition to all other modifiers, such as STAB.
* {{a|Steelworker}} is now now a {{type|Steel}} variation (not equivalent) of {{a|Aerilate}}, {{a|Pixilate}}, etc: Steelworker causes all Normal-type moves used by the Pokémon to become Steel-type and receive a 30% base power boost in addition to all other modifiers, such as STAB. Moves that are already Steel-type also receive a 30% base power boost regardless of the user's type (not stackable if STAB already applies for user).
* During {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, a Pokémon with ability {{a|Solar Power}} gains a 1.25× boost to its {{stat|Special Attack}} AND RECOVERS one-eighth (⅛) of its maximum HP at the end of each turn.
* {{a|Illuminate}} now has in-battle effects: a Pokémon on the field with this Ability will grant a 30% boost to the original {{stat|accuracy}} of moves by all allies AND reduce the original accuracy of moves by all foes by 30%. It will also prevent foes from using the abilities {{a|Compound Eyes}}, {{a|Keen Eye}}, or {{a|Tinted Lens}} while a Pokémon with this ability remains in battle. (The accuracy boost from Illuminate does not stack upon the accuracy boost from Compound Eyes by allies.)
* {{a|Magnet Pull}} prevents {{type|Steel}} foes from [[Escape|fleeing]] (including {{m|Teleport}}) or [[Recall|switching out]] as long as the user remains in battle. As an additional effect, this ability redirects all {{type|Steel}} moves used by foes to target the Pokémon with this Ability: if the move is a [[physical move]], the Pokémon with this Ability absorbs the attack and its {{stat|Defense}} is raised one stage; if the move is a [[special move]], the Pokémon with this Ability absorbs the attack and its {{stat|Special Attack}} is raised one stage.
* {{a|Wonder Guard}} now allows a Pokémon with this ability (namely {{p|Shedinja}}) to automatically copy the max HP of an opponent for the remainder of the battle (HP will only reset after end of battle). Upon joining a double/triple/etc battle, the Pokémon with this ability copies the higher HP of adjacent opponents. {{a|Wonder Guard}} also retains its original effect: a Pokémon with this ability is immune to damage from attacks that are not [[super effective]].
* {{a|Flash Fire}} makes a Pokémon with this ability AND its allies on the field immune to damage from {{type|Fire}} attacks. <del>Furthermore, in lieu of suffering damage, a Pokémon with this ability receives a one-stage boost to its {{stat|Attack}} if targeted by a [[physical move|physical]] {{type|Fire}} attack or one-stage boost to its {{stat|Special Attack}} if targeted by a [[special move|special]] {{type|Fire}} attack.</del> Furthermore, '''once activated''', the [[terrain]] becomes ''Scorched Earth'' as long as the Pokémon with this ability remains on the field.
* {{cat|Aura and pulse moves}} (which gain an base power boost from the ability {{a|Mega Launcher}}) and {{cat|ball and bomb moves}} (which are negated by the ability {{a|Bulletproof}}) are now part of the same category of moves, ie all these moves gain a base power boost from the ability {{a|Mega Launcher}} but are negated by the ability {{a|Bulletproof}}.
** {{m|Rock Wrecker}}, {{m|Gyro Ball}}, and {{m|Ice Ball}} are no longer considered {{cat|ball and bomb moves}}, but now {{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Self-Destruct}}, {{m|Mud Shot}}, ''Sure Shot'', {{m|Air Slash}}, and {{m|Razor Wind}} are included.
** '''{{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Charge Beam}}, {{m|Discharge}}, {{m|Parabolic Charge}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, ''Wicked Flame'', <del>{{m|Sacred Fire}},</del> {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Signal Beam}}, ''Luster Cannon'' ({{m|Flash Cannon}}), and {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} are now considered {{cat|aura and pulse moves}} as well.'''
* In addition to a speed boost during a {{weather|hailstorm}}, Pokémon on the field with the Ability {{a|Slush Rush}} become immune to damage from hail regardless of said Pokémon's type. 
* <del>A new ability named ''Stealthy'' allows the Pokémon with this ability to avoid [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]], including {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and {{m|Sticky Web}}.</del>
* '''As an additional effect, {{a|Infiltrator}} also allows Pokémon with this ability to avoid [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]], including {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and {{m|Sticky Web}}.'''
* {{a|Liquid Ooze}} causes {{cat|HP-draining moves}} used on the Pokémon with this Ability to damage their user instead of healing them. But as a ''secondary effect'', this ability also clears [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] ''after coming into contact with and inflicting damage to a Pokémon with this Ability''.
** eg, in-battle message: ''{{m|Stealth Rock}} got caught in {{p|Pyukumuku}}'s Liquid Ooze!''
* As an additional effect, Pokémon with the abilities {{a|Compound Eyes}} and {{a|Keen Eye}} can bypass an opponent's {{m|Substitute}} to attack the target directly.
* When a Pokémon with the ability {{a|Aftermath}} is knocked out by an opponent's attack – whether it makes contact or not – damage is dealt to that opponent equal to the amount of HP the fainted Pokémon had left before last being hit or equal to ⅓ of the opponent's maximum HP, whichever is greater. ({{a|Innards Out}} is no more!)
* The ability {{a|Flower Gift}} increases the {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats of the Pokémon with this Ability and its allies by 1.5× ''regardless of the weather'', so long as the Pokémon with this ability remains on the field.
** The ability {{a|Flower Veil}} is no more! All prior instances of this ability become {{a|Flower Gift}}.
* <del>The ability {{a|Intimidate}} lowers the Attack stat of all adjacent opponents ''by half''. Another new counterpart ability, ''Dazzle'', lowers the Special Attack stat of all adjacent opponents ''by half''.</del>
* In addition to lowering the Attack stat of all adjacent opponents by '''two stages''', the ability {{a|Intimidate}} prevents an opponent from using a [[priority]] move (including moves boosted by {{a|Prankster}}, {{a|Gale Wings}} or {{a|Triage}}) against a Pokémon with this ability or its allies. Another new counterpart ability, ''Dazzle'', has all the same effects but instead lowers the ''Special Attack'' stat of all adjacent opponents by '''two stages'''.
** The original abilities {{a|Queenly Majesty}} and {{a|Dazzling}} are no more!
* The effects of {{a|Sticky Hold}} and {{a|Gooey}} are combined into a single ability, an ''improved'' Sticky Hold. All prior instances of Gooey become Sticky Hold.
* The effects of {{a|Magma Armor}} and {{a|Flame Body}} are combined into a single ability, an ''improved'' Flame Body. All prior instances of Magma Armor become Flame Body.
** As an additional effect, a Pokémon with this ''improved'' Flame Body is immune to {{status|burn}}s.
** But as a ''secondary effect'', this improved ability also clears [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] ''after coming into contact with and inflicting damage to a Pokémon with this Ability''. eg, in-battle message: ''{{m|Spikes}} got caught in {{p|Magcargo}}'s Flame Body!''
** In short, this improved Flame Body inflicts burn status to opponents upon contact (30% chance), prevents freezing for Pokémon with this Ability, AND clears entry hazards.
* The effects of {{a|Vital Spirit}} and {{a|Moxie}} are combined into a single ability, an ''improved'' Vital Spirit. All prior instances of Moxie become Vital Spirit.
* The effects of {{a|Limber}} and {{a|Steadfast}} are combined into a single ability, an ''improved'' Limber. All prior instances of Steadfast become Limber.
* The effects of {{a|Own Tempo}} and {{a|Inner Focus}} are combined into a single ability, an ''improved'' Own Tempo.
* The effects of {{a|Stench}} and {{a|Aroma Veil}} are combined into a single ability, an ''improved'' Stench.
* The in-battle and overworld effects of {{a|Poison Point}} and {{a|Poison Touch}} are combined into a single ability, an ''improved'' Poison Point.
* Whereas {{a|Huge Power}} doubles the {{stat|Attack}} stat of the Pokémon with this Ability, {{a|Pure Power}} now doubles the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of the Pokémon with that Ability.
* <del>As an additional effect, a Pokémon with the ability {{a|Motor Drive}} may use {{cat|Moves that require recharging}} without resting the following turn.</del>
* Pokémon with the ability {{a|Motor Drive}} may use {{type|Electric}} moves with +1 [[priority]] so long as their HP remains at 30% or greater.
* <del>{{a|Gale Wings}} grants +1 [[priority]] for all {{type|Flying}} moves used by a Pokémon with this ability and grants a 20% power boost to {{type|Flying}} attacks used by said Pokémon, if applicable.</del>
* Pokémon with the ability {{a|Gale Wings}} may use any {{type|Flying}} move with +1 [[priority]] so long as their HP remains at 30% or greater.
* '''As an additional effect, a Pokémon with the ability {{a|Sap Sipper}} (''Herbivorous'') regains 1/16 of its maximum HP at the end of each turn while [[terrain|Grassy Terrain]] remains in effect.'''
* As an additional effect, {{a|Fur Coat}} negates the passive damage or added effects from abilities that react to [[contact]].
* As an additional effect, a Pokémon with the ability {{a|Pressure}} is immune to non-damaging effects from the moves {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Magnet Rise}}, {{m|Telekinesis}}, {{m|Smack Down}}, ''Sure Shot'', and {{m|Thousand Arrows}}.
* {{a|Hyper Cutter}} is renamed ''Vorpal Cutter''. This ability now prevents a Pokémon with this ability from having its {{stat|Attack}} lowered, whether by an opponent's move or its own.
** Moves that effectively lower Attack without using stat stages – such as {{m|Guard Swap}}, {{m|Heart Swap}}, or  {{m|Guard Split}} – will fail when used against a Pokémon with this ability.
** This ability can be ignored by Pokémon with the abilities {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Teravolt}}, or {{a|Turboblaze}}, or using {{cat|Moves that ignore Abilities|moves that ignore abilities}}.
* NEW ABILITY: ''Full Metal Sound'' causes all {{Cat|sound-based moves}} used by a Pokémon to become {{type|Steel}} and confers STAB damage, if applicable for the user. Furthermore, a Pokémon with this ability becomes immune to all <del>non-{{type|Steel}}</del> non-damaging [[[status move|status]] {{Cat|sound-based moves}}.
* NEW ABILITY: <del>''Aegis''</del> ''Vorpal Guard'' prevents a Pokémon with this ability from having its {{stat|Defense}} AND {{stat|Special Defense}} lowered, whether by an opponent's move or its own.
** Moves that effectively lower Defense or Special Defense without using stat stages – such as {{m|Guard Swap}}, {{m|Heart Swap}}, or  {{m|Guard Split}} – will fail when used against a Pokémon with this ability.
** This ability can be ignored by Pokémon with the abilities {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Teravolt}}, or {{a|Turboblaze}}, or using {{cat|Moves that ignore Abilities|moves that ignore abilities}}.
* REVAMPED During double / triple battles, etc, if a Pokémon with {{a|Symbiosis}} has a held item, it also copies the effects of that item (but not the item itself) onto an ally or allies on the field once said item is consumed
* NEW ABILITY: ''Slick'' reduces the final calculated damage received from physical attacks by <del>25%</del> half. Critical hits that target a Pokémon with this Ability inflict normal damage.
** {{p|Seel}}, {{p|Dewgong}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Azumarill}}, {{p|Wynaut}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Tynamo}}, {{p|Eelektrik}}, and {{p|Eelektross}} gain ''Slick'' as their hidden ability. {{p|Huntail}} and {{p|Gorebyss}} both gain ''Slick'' as a second ability.
* '''The ability {{a|Run Away}} should be renamed ''Nimble''.'''
* NEW ABILITY: ''Nocturnal'' replaces {{a|Insomnia}} – ie, all prior instances of Insomnia become ''Nocturnal''. ''Nocturnal'' prevents the Pokémon with this ability from being afflicted by {{status|sleep}} by an opponent's moves, including {{m|Yawn}}; however, this Pokémon may still use {{m|Rest}}, unlike Pokémon with the ability {{a|Vital Spirit}}. Pokémon with ''Nocturnal'' also receive a STAB-boost for using {{t|Ghost}} or {{type|Dark}} attacks, regardless of the user's own type.
* NEW ABILITY: The move {{m|Echoed Voice}} should be renamed ''Crescendo'' but a new ability ''Echoed Voice (Amplify?)'' grants a 30% boost to the base accuracy as well as 20% boost to the base power of {{Cat|sound-based moves}} used by this ability.
* NEW ABILITY: ''Ravenous'' allows the Pokémon with this ability to copy the effects of an item consumed by an ally in the same or immediately previous turn. If more than one item was consumed by more than one ally, all effects may be copied.
* NEW ABILITY: ''Juggernaut'' reduces the multiplier of super-effective damaging moves targeting a Pokémon with this ability to ×1 (normal damage). <del>A Pokémon with ''Juggernaut'' clears the field of opposing [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] ''after receiving damage from said entry hazards'' upon entering battle</del>.
* NEW ABILITY: ''Stolid'' (''Dauntless''?) reduces the final calculated damage from {{type|Dark}} moves used against a Pokémon with this ability by half. Any {{type|Dark}} [[status move]]s targeting a Pokémon with this ability will fail.
* The original ability {{a|Moody}} is no more! Instead, ''Moody'' becomes the new name for the ability {{a|Contrary}}.
* <del>The original ability {{a|Unaware}} is renamed ''Insouciant''.</del>
* <del>NEW ABILITY: ''Cavalier'' takes on the same effects as the original ability {{a|Simple}}. (The original ability {{a|Simple}} is no more!)</del>
* NEW ABILITY: ''Daredevil'' is now a copy of {{a|Simple}} – ie, the number of stages that a stat is increased or decreased by a move, Ability, or item is doubled for a Pokémon with this ability.
* NEW ABILITY: ''Maverick'' is now a copy of {{a|Unaware}} – ie, if a Pokémon with this Ability uses a damaging move or is targeted by a damaging move, the other Pokémon's stat stages are ignored during damage and accuracy calculation.
* NEW ABILITY: ''Dauntless''
* NEW WEATHER TYPE: ''Thunderstorm'', a variation of [[rain]]. During a thunderstorm, each turn there is a 12.5% (⅛) chance that any Pokémon in battle may be struck by {{m|Thunderbolt}} from the environment; {{type|Steel}} Pokémon on the field will have a 25% (¼) chance of being struck. Pokémon on the field with ability {{a|Lightning Rod}} will attract {{m|Thunderbolt}} every time (multiple Pokémon on the field with this ability will share the probability of getting struck among themselves).

Using {{m|Thunder}} during rain will generate a Thunderstorm for as long as the rain lasts – ie, ''A thunderstorm rolled in with the call of Thunder!''

* [[Moon Ball]]s have a 4× catch rate modifier when used against wild {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon or on a wild Pokémon from an evolutionary family that includes a Pokémon which evolves using a [[Moon Stone]].
* The {{type|Grass}}-type is known now as ''Botan''.
* The {{type|Dark}}-type is known now as <del>''Umbra''</del> ''Scourge''.
* The {{type|Steel}}-type is known now as ''Metal''.
* The {{type|Psychic}}-type is known now as ''Physic'', alluding to the ability to manipulate physical forces as well as physical space and time.


=== NEW TERRAINS ===
* While ''Tidal Surge'' is in effect, {{m|Nature Power}} becomes {{m|Surf}}; {{m|Secret Power}} uses the animation of {{m|Hydro Pump}} and has a 30% chance of inflicting a burn; while {{m|Camouflage}} causes the user to become {{type|Water}}. [[Natural objects]] disappear while is in effect. The weather-modifying moves {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Hail}}, or ''Fog Call'' will cause Tidal Surge to end; however, Tidal Surge can be stacked with {{m|Rain Dance}} or the ability {{a|Drizzle}} to generate '''heavy rain'''. Furthermore, this terrain has the following effects on Pokémon that are [[grounded|on the ground]] and not in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move:
** the base damage of {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, AND {{type|Rock}} moves will be halved (DECREASED by 50%). Pokémon with the ability {{a|Water Compaction}} are immune to this effect
** <del>damage from {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, AND {{type|Electric}} moves will get a 50% boost (×1.5)</del>
** activates the abilities {{a|Hydration}}, {{a|Swift Swim}}, and {{a|Rain Dish}}
** any instance of {{m|Ingrain}} will remain active
** now a two-turn move, {{m|Surf}} can be executed immediately if ''Tidal Surge'' [[terrain]] is in effect.
* While ''Scorched Earth'' is in effect, {{m|Nature Power}} becomes {{m|Flamethrower}}; {{m|Secret Power}} uses the animation of {{m|Incinerate}} and has a 30% chance of inflicting a burn; while {{m|Camouflage}} causes the user to become {{type|Fire}}. [[Natural objects]] disappear while is in effect. The weather-modifying moves {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Hail}}, or ''Fog Call'' will cause Scorched Earth to end; however, Scorched Earth can be stacked with {{m|Sunny Day}} or the ability {{a|Drought}} to generate '''extremely harsh sunlight'''. Furthermore, this terrain has the following effects on Pokémon that are [[grounded|on the ground]] and not in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move:
** the base damage of {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, {{type|Fairy}}, AND {{type|Bug}} moves will be halved (DECREASED by 50%).
** at the end of each turn, this terrain restores the {{stat|HP}} of any and all Pokémon with the abilities {{a|Flame Body}} (yes, that includes ''Magma Armor''), {{a|Flash Fire}}, {{a|White Smoke}}, {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Desolate Land}}, or {{a|Flare Boost}} by ⅛ of its maximum HP.
** any instance of {{m|Ingrain}} that remains active will end and further attempts to use the move will fail – eg, in-battle message: ''Scorched Earth burned through {{p|Cacturne}}'s Ingrain!''
* While ''Icy Terrain'' is in effect, {{m|Nature Power}} becomes {{m|Ice Beam}}; {{m|Secret Power}} uses the animation of {{m|Ice Shard}} and has a 30% chance of freezing the target; while {{m|Camouflage}} causes the user to become {{type|Ice}}. [[Natural objects]] disappear while is in effect. The weather-modifying moves and abilities including {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Hail}}, {{m|Sunny Day}}, or ''Fog Call'' do NOT cause Icy Terrain to end, except for moves or abilities that generate '''extremely harsh sunlight'''. Furthermore, this terrain has the following effects on Pokémon that are [[grounded|on the ground]] and not in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move:
** the base damage of {{t|Dragon}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, {{type|Fairy}}, AND {{type|Bug}} moves will be halved (DECREASED by 50%).
** at the end of each turn, this terrain doubles the Speed stat of {{type|Ice}} Pokémon on the field or Pokémon with the abilities {{a|Slush Rush}}, {{a|Ice Body}}, or {{a|Snow Cloak}}.
** any instance of {{m|Ingrain}} that remains active will end and further attempts to use the move will fail – eg, in-battle message: ''{{p|Cacturne}}'s Ingrain can't break through the solid ice!''

==Revamped Type Chart According to AceTrainerAlvaro==

'''UNDER CONSTRUCTION Please refer to ''Changes to Battle Mechanics & Abilities'' section for my latest changes.'''

{{main|Type/Type chart}}

Type-order now matters: whether a type first or second affects resistance (but not STAB). For a given Pokémon, the type listed ''first'' reduces damages from a weaker-type by two-thirds (×0.33) while the type listed ''second'' reduces damages from a weaker-type by a third (×0.66). An attack that is weak against ''both'' of the target's types inflicts 1 HP in damage. (The in-battle text will read "Attack inflicted negligible damage.") A complete ineffectiveness against either type will still make the move deal no damage, since 0 multiplied by any number is 0. Also, STAB is reduced from a ×1.5 multiplier to a ×1.33 multiplier.

{{-}}

* During your first battle against [[Falkner]], a {{p|Farfetch'd}} with the ability {{a|Defiant}} and the move {{m|Roost}} (acquired via [[TM]]) will be his signature Pokémon in lieu of an under-levelled {{p| Pidgeotto}}.
* In addition to reshuffled or updated Gym Leaders, several changes have happened to the layout & names of cities across the rebooted Johto:
** [[Cherrygrove City]] has replaced the location of [[New Bark Town]] at the foot of [[Tohjo Falls]], becoming the player's new hometown. Cherrygrove City now boasts an observation deck built onto a hill at the city's northernmost point, similar to (the former) [[Aspertia City]]. Looking through a pair of binoculars there, the player alludes to a [[Mt. Silver|a distance snowy mountain in the distance]].
** Your new hometown also features a Pokémon Center and PokéMart.
** The land occupied by the former Cherrygrove City has become the ''Berry Collective'', an extenson of [[Johto Route 29|Route 29]] where the [[Berry]]-growing enthusiasts work and reside alongside a large garden similar to the Berry Master's garden located on [[Hoenn Route 123]]. The ''Berry Collective'' house is also a rest stop for trainers to heal their teams.
** [[Johto Route 30|Route 30]], [[Johto Route 31|Route 31]], and [[Johto Route 46|Route 46]] have become part of a rugged canyon (named Fennel Canyon) with fewer trees & more boulders and cliffs, as well as places to use {{m|Rock Smash}} to break rocks or {{m|Rock Climb}} to scale slopes. You cannot fully navigate [[Johto Route 30|Route 30]] or [[Johto Route 31|Route 31]] during your first approach.
** [[Violet City]] has been replaced by [[Lacunosa Town]], ''An oasis cut into canyon rock'' along Fennel Canyon. This town still has exits out onto [[Johto Route 31|Route 31]], [[Johto Route 32|Route 32]], and [[Johto Route 36|Route 36]].
** [[Marshal]] is now the Gym Leader of Lacunosa Town…but won't be available during your first visit, as his [[Battle Girl]] girlfriend will inform you when you first arrive to challenge him. He'll be off training deep in [[Mt. Mortar]], requiring a SIDE QUEST for players to find him there after acquiring access to {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. Defeating Marshal will also grant access to {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle.
** <del>Marshal's hometown is actually called ''Majolica Town'', but the layout is based on [[Lacunosa Town]]. (''Or should [[Sandgem Town]] be renamed ''Majolica Town''?)</del>
** You cannot fully navigate [[Johto Route 32|Route 32]] during your first approach as the north half of the coastal route now features slopes, cliffs, & small caves only accessible by {{m|Rock Climb}}. These cliffs and small caves might hold [[Fossil]]s, or [[Shoal Shell]]s that can be used by the Treasure Hunter in Driftveil City to craft a [[Shell Bell]].
** [[Union Cave]] now holds [[Shoal Salt]]s that can be used by the Treasure Hunter in Driftveil City to craft a [[Shell Bell]], as well as (randomly regenerated) [[Heart Scale]]s to trade for the expertise of the Move Reminder (now found in Olivine City).
** The small strip formerly known as [[Johto Route 33|Route 33]] is now considered the tail-end of [[Johto Route 32|Route 32]]. Instead, ''Route 33'' will refer to a trainer-filled sea route navigable by {{m|Surf}} leading back to the Berry Farm on Route 29. An {{wp|wind farm|offshore wind farm}} is seen in the background along the route!
** [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] run a ''Battle Café'' in [[Goldenrod City]] allowing for a [[Multi Battle]]/[[Battle Royal]](?) once per day. In fact, during your first visit to Goldenrod City, you will be required to team up alongside Marley against the restaurateur brothers (and win) before Marley agrees to accept your challenge to a gym battle.
** The eastern half of [[Johto Route 36|Route 36]] will be rugged and craggy from the rock faces of Fennel Canyon. The "{{m|Cut}}-able tree" at the center of the route has been replaced by a "smashable rock" as a roadblock. Defeating Gym Leader Marley in Goldenrod City will allow players to use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle to clear the path.
** [[Johto Route 38|Route 38]] and [[Johto Route 39|Route 39]] now feature much more rugged terrain with tall karst formations and irrigated paddy fields inspired by {{wp|Wulingyuan}}, otherwise the Forest of Ten Thousands Peaks. There is also a river navigable by {{m|Surf}} requiring {{m|Waterfall}} to reach a ledge high above. This area will be known as [[Forina]] Valley.
** [[Moomoo Farm]] has been relocated from [[Johto Route 39]] to [[Kanto Route 13]], just north of the infamous "maze of fences".
** [[Cianwood City]] has been replaced by [[Driftveil City]], a ''City of billowing sails where nostalgia for old traditions meets the gossip of new currents''. [[Sprout Tower]] is also located here, with the top floors repurposed as [[Falkner]]'s gym.
** The tall grass in [[Kanto Route 6]], [[Kanto Route 7]], and [[Kanto Route 11] has become [[marsh tile|marshy areas]], similar to {{weather|sandstorm}}.
** [[Kanto Route 3]] now includes an [[Ace Trainer]] or [[Triathlete]] named Ben who mentions, "I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear while I train!" 
** [[Kanto Route 8]] now features more boulders and cliffs, as well as places to use {{m|Rock Smash}} to break rocks or {{m|Rock Climb}} to scale slopes.
** The south side of [[Kanto Route 15]] now opens onto a beach straddling a strip of navigable water. The north side now features more boulders and cliffs, as well as places to use {{m|Rock Smash}} to break rocks or {{m|Rock Climb}} to scale slopes.
* [[Cinnabar Island]] now takes on the layout of [[Humilau City]]. The island's volcano has since collapsed into ''Cinnabar {{wp|Caldera}}'', a separate landmass just south of Cinnabar Island that is reachable by {{m|Surf}} and ''features wild Pokémon migrating from other regions''.
* [[Johto Route 41|Route 41]] will comprise a much larger area and the [[Whirl Islands]] will also be more prominent islands in their own right, each featuring a different enclosed {{wp|microclimate}} above-ground. 
** {{wp|Speciation}} offers many surprises on islands in particular so the four Whirl Islands will have something to offer: different sets of rare berries to find hidden in the ground, a much higher rate of finding Shiny Pokémon (4× as likely), and different sets of wild Pokémon across four different environments
** A) the four different environments are swamp (generally {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Ghost}}, and {{type|Dark}}); volcanic hot springs (generally {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Dragon}}); windswept rock outcroppings (generally {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{type|Flying}}); and flower meadow (generally {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Normal}}, and {{type|Fairy}}).
** B) each island will feature wild Pokémon from a different region: [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Kalos]], or [[Alola]].
* Weather conditions – usually [[harsh sunlight]] or [[rain]] – vary across across many Johto and Kanto routes.
** [[Johto Route 35|Route 35]], [[Johto Route 34|Route 34]], and [[Johto Route 32|Route 32]] have a 50% chance of clear weather, 25% chance of harsh sunlight, or 25% chance of rain during each visit.
** [[Johto Route 37|Route 37]] and [[Johto Route 42|Route 42]] in particular have a 50% chance of fog during each visit. [[Johto Route 37|Route 37]] will always be foggy during your first visit as a sort of introduction to [[Ecruteak City]].
** [[Johto Route 38|Route 38]] and [[Johto Route 39|Route 39]] in particular have a 25% chance each of experiencing rain, thunderstorms, fog, or clear weather during each visit.
** [[Johto Route 41|Route 41]] has a 50% chance of clear weather, 25% chance of rain, or 25% chance of thunderstorms during each visit.
** The same rain and flooding patterns from [[Generation IV]] persist at [[Gyarados Lake]].
** [[Johto Route 45|Route 45]] and [[Johto Route 46|Route 46]] in particular have a 50% chance each of experiencing sandstorms, 25% chance of rain, or 25% chance of clear weather during each visit. These routes will experience the same weather changes simultaneously (ie, you won't get rain on one route, followed by a sandstorm on the next route).
** [[Kanto Route 26]] has a 25% chance each of experiencing rain, thunderstorms, sandstorms, or clear weather during each visit.
** [[Kanto Route 3]] and [[Kanto Route 4]] will always feature {{m|Misty Terrain}} ''at night'' that will be present throughout battles in these areas.
** [[Kanto Route 24]] and [[Kanto Route 25]] offers a 25% chance each of rain, fog, harsh sunlight, or clear weather during each visit. These routes will experience the same weather changes simultaneously (ie, you won't get rain on one route, followed by a fog the next route).
** [[Kanto Route 17]] (Kanto's Cycling Road) is now a bridge elevated over the bay and will always feature {{m|Tailwind}} that will be present throughout battles in this area.
** [[Kanto Route 8]] and [[Kanto Route 9]] in particular have a 50% chance of fog, 25% chance of rain, and 25% chance of clear weather during each visit. [[Kanto Route 9|Route 9]] will always be foggy during your first visit.
** [[Kanto Route 28]] and the base/exterior of Mt. Silver will typically be shrouded by fog 50% of the time and by hail 25% of the time (otherwise clear weather 25% of the time).
** {{weather|hail|Heavy snowfall}} is present at the summit of [[Mt. Silver]].
* SIDE QUEST When walking along [[Johto Route 31|Route 31]] for the first time, Elite Four member [[Karen]] OR Gym Leader [[Jasmine]] will be seen blocking the entrance to [[Dark Cave]]. Return after gaining access to {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle to "join" Karen OR Jasmine in search of a rare {{p|Sableye}} OR {{p|Mawile}}, respectively (by "joining" you will guide them through Dark Cave and actually be allowed to play as either of these characters in-battle to catch Sableye/Mawile).
* SIDE QUEST A trio of {{p|Dragonair}} have replaced {{p|Ampharos}} at [[Glitter Lighthouse]]. With one having fallen ill, [[Jasmine]] requests that you acquire a medicinal recipe from [[Falkner]] in Driftveil City across the bay before she accepts your challenge to a Gym Battle.
* SIDE QUEST Find Marshal in [[Mt. Mortar]] to challenge him to a Gym Battle. His [[Battle Girl]] girlfriend can't reach him tucked deep in the mountain ("No signal") to confirm that his newly redesigned gym is ready for challengers. Deliver her Letter to him to convince him to wrap up his training and return.
* SIDE QUEST The [[Ruins of Alph]] are "Closed for Excavations" until you earn your sixth badge from Marshal.

* In addition to reshuffled or updated Gym Leaders, several changes have happened to the layout and names of cities and routes across the rebooted Sinnoh:
** The player's hometown is now [[Oreburgh City]] where Roark is a childhood friend and newly minted Gym Leader.
** ''Jubilife City'' has been replaced by [[Hearthome City]]. In addition to Alder's new gym, this is also where Professor Rowan now maintains his lab.
** [[Veilstone City]] has been replaced by [[Virbank City]], complete with the gasoline processing facilities seen in B2W2 replacing the Team Galactic HQ.
** The former location of [[Hearthome City]] is now occupied by [[Village Bridge]], which has also been renamed ''Canalave City''. This city has no Gym but serves as a rest stop for trainers. However, the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] and the [[Poffin House]] are located here. The [[Super Contest]] arena has also been constructed on along the river bank. An entrace to [[Amity Square]] is located in the north-eastern corner of town.
** ''Solaceon Town'' is no more, its wilderness incorporated into Route 209, but the [[Pokémon Day Care]] and [[Solaceon Ruins]] remain intact.
** [[Sunyshore City]] has been renamed as ''Nimbasa City'' and now also features a [[Big Stadium]] and [[Small Court]].
** {{rt|222|Sinnoh}} is now also known by the locals as ''Belo Horizonte Beach''.
** After winning the Beacon Badge from Elesa in your fourth Gym Battle, players gain access to HM Surf, opening up travel to [[Pastoria City]] or [[Castelia City]] in the far southwest corner of Sinnoh (southwest of what was once Twinleaf Town). As such, either Gardenia or Byron can be challenged next.
** To reach Pastoria City through {{rt|213|Sinnoh}}, players must now use HM Surf to travel along mangroves at the southwestern edge of the route.
** {{rt|218|Sinnoh}} should offer a longer path for crossing with [[HM03]] {{m|Surf}}.
* The [[Desert Resort|Resort Desert]] is now located on [[Sinnoh Route 229]] as an expansive desert area featuring a raging {{weather|sandstorm}}. The [[Resort Area]] to the immediate south is now known as the <del>''Oasis Resort''</del> ''Undella Oasis Resort''. [[Cynthia]] can be found relaxing in a house here. [[Misty]], [[Flannery]], [[Winona]], and [[Jasmine]] occasionally visit her and offer to battle the player. (During each encounter, their Pokémon will copy the level of highest leveled Pokémon in the player's party.)
* {{rt|230|Sinnoh}} now includes an opening along its south reef of rocks leading to [[Undella Bay]] and the [[Abyssal Ruins]].

* Furthermore, given the new location of [[Hearthome City]]:
** [[Lake Verity]] is now located to the immediate west of [[Hearthome City]].
** [[Twist Mountain]] is now located to the immediate south of [[Hearthome City]].

* Also:
** [[Chargestone Cave]] is now a north-south path in [[Mt. Coronet]] leading far south to the isolated [[Giant Chasm]] where the mysterious meteorites are now located.
** [[Marvelous Bridge]] now connects [[Eterna City]] to [[Mt. Coronet]] along the west side of Sinnoh Route 211. 
** [[Floaroma Town]] is no more. Instead, [[Valley Windworks]] takes its place, with a larger field of wind turbine towers taking up the remaining space.
** [[Flint]] and Roxie are members of the same punk rock band. That goes for [[Volkner]] as well, who while no longer a Gym Leader, still makes a cameo appearance.
** [[Snowpoint City]] is renamed ''Icirrus City'' and is known for its local delicacy, ''Icirrus Soba'' soup (a variation of [[Lava Cookie]]s, etc).
* [[Mars]]' signature partner is now ''Gorgonna'' instead of {{p|Purugly}}.
* [[Cyrus]] is now a {{type|Psychic}} specialist; his team includes {{p|Xatu}}, ''Zendaruma'', and {{p|Beheeyem}} (he later adds) {{type|Psychic}} regional variant {{p|Torkoal}}. Apparently, he abandoned his longtime partner {{p|Espeon}} in favor of {{p|Absol}} sometime after creating [[Team Galactic]] – renamed ''{{wp|Quasar|Quazon Corp}}''.
** [[Cyrus]] is not the leader of [[Team Galactic]] – renamed ''{{wp|Quasar|Quazon Corp}}''. Instead, he is a high-ranking Executive but seeks to use the company's resources and scientists to investigate the legends of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} as well as develop the [[Red Chain]].
** Instead [[Charon]] is the CEO of ''{{wp|Quasar|Quazon Corp}}'' who dotes on Cyrus' brilliance, oblivious to his ulterior motives. However, it is implied that Charon is corrupt in some of his business practices, which Cyrus resents.
* [[Barry]]'s character replaces appearances by [[Cheryl]], [[Riley]], and [[Buck]]. [[Barry]]'s character is still [[Palmer]]'s son.

{{type|Ground}} ''Sand Pit''' prevents all [[grounded]] foes from [[Escape|fleeing]] (including {{m|Teleport}}) or [[Recall|switching out]] as long as the user remains in battle. Using {{m|Baton Pass}}, {{m|U-turn}}, {{m|Volt Switch}}, or {{m|Parting Shot}} will fail upon use but {{m|Teleport}} may still be used. Holding a [[Smoke Ball]] or [[Shed Shell]] allows the Pokémon to flee or Teleport, but not switch. {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon as well as Pokémon with the abilities {{a|Levitate}} or {{a|Run Away}} are unaffected.

If a wild Pokémon uses ''Sand Pit'' and the player's Pokémon faints, the move no longer bind the player to battle should the player attempt to flee instead of sending out another Pokémon.

''Sand Pit'' does not affect allies.

When {{type|Ghost}} [[status move]] '''Fog Call''' is used, [[Fog|fog will roll over]] the field. This effect will last for 5 turns. This overrides any other previous type of [[weather]].

While this move is in effect, the {{stat|Accuracy}} of all Pokémon battling – EXCEPT {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon – is multiplied by 75% (ie, reduced by 25%). Also, the base power of {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Flying}} moves will be increased by 25%. Furthermore:
* the power of {{m|Weather Ball}} is doubled and it becomes {{type|Ghost}}.
* the power of {{m|Solar Beam}} is halved.
* {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Synthesis}}, and {{m|Morning Sun}} only recover ¼ of max HP.

{{type|Fire}} [[status move]] '''Scorched Earth''' creates [[terrain]] that envelops the field and replaces the background environment and any other terrain that is already in effect. The terrain fades after five turns.

While in effect, this terrain has the following effects on Pokémon that are [[grounded|on the ground]] and not in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move:
*the base damage of {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, AND {{type|Bug}} moves will be halved (DECREASED by 50%)

*any instance of {{m|Ingrain}} that remains active will end and further attempts to use the move will fail – eg, in-battle message: ''Scorched Earth burned through {{p|Cacturne}}'s Ingrain!''

If Scorched Earth is in effect, {{m|Nature Power}} becomes {{m|Flamethrower}}; {{m|Secret Power}} uses the animation of {{m|Incinerate}} and has a 30% chance of inflicting a burn; while {{m|Camouflage}} causes the user to become {{type|Fire}}. [[Natural objects]] disappear while is in effect. The weather-modifying moves {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Hail}}, or ''Fog Call'' will cause Scorched Earth to end; however, Scorched Earth can be stacked with {{m|Sunny Day}} or the ability {{a|Drought}} to generate '''extremely harsh sunlight'''.

While in effect, this terrain has the following effects on Pokémon that are [[grounded|on the ground]] and not in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move:
* the base damage of {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, AND {{type|Rock}} moves will be halved (DECREASED by 50%). Pokémon with the ability {{a|Water Compaction}} are immune to this effect

There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit 3 times on average, giving it an average power of 30. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a [[critical hit]]. Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Skill Link}} will always hit five times when using Thorn Whip unless it misses. As a physical move, Thorn Whip is affected by {{m|Counter}} rather than Mirror Coat.

Thorn Whip may continue attacking after breaking a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} will only acknowledge the last strike of this move. If a [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], or {{a|Sturdy}} activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.

If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]], each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to {{status|flinch}}. If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}}, each strike will activate it.

If the user is a pure {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, it will <del>become typeless</del> be treated as {{type|Normal}} until further notice.

''Flame Rite'' will also thaw out the user if is {{status|Freeze|frozen}} upon using this move; however, this move cannot thaw out the user if the move would fail due to the user losing its {{type|Fire}}.

'''Effect'''
{{type|Steel}} ''Metal Lash'' inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit 3 times on average, giving it an average power of 30. Each strike made has a 30% chance of lowering the target's {{stat|Defense}} stat by one stage. Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Skill Link}} will always hit five times when using Thorn Whip unless it misses. As a physical move, Thorn Whip is affected by {{m|Counter}} rather than Mirror Coat.

Thorn Whip may continue attacking after breaking a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} will only acknowledge the last strike of this move. If a [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], or {{a|Sturdy}} activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.

If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]], each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to {{status|flinch}}. If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}}, each strike will activate it.

{{type|Fairy}} '''Can-Can''' inflicts damage for 2-3 turns (PP is deducted only on the turn Thrash is first called) after which the user becomes {{status|Confusion|confused}}.

In battles with multiple opponents, the user selects itself as the target, but hits an adjacent opponent that is selected at random upon each use of the move.

The move is disrupted if it is not successful due to missing, sleeping, paralysis, freeze, flinching, a {{m|Protect}}ing target, or {{a|Wonder Guard}} immunity. If a disruption occurs on what would have been the final, confusion-inducing turn of Can-Can, the user will still become confused.

Furthermore, a target hit by this move has a 30% chance of having its ability change to {{a|Mummy}} for the following <del>2-5</del> 2-3 turns; a message will read ''"(target) joined the dance!"''

A [[physical move|physical]] {{type|Psychic}} version of {{m|Petal Dance}}, <del>'''Whirling Dance'''</del> '''Whirligig''' is {{p|Hitmontop}}'s new [[signature move]]. ''Whirligig'' is considered a {{cat|dance moves|dance move}} and will thus activate another Pokémon's  {{a|Dancer}} ability.

=== Post-Game KANTO LEAGUE ===

After completing the Johto Main Game, players can proceed to challenge the Kanto ''Master'' League. Henceforth, the order of gyms is less linear and each gym will award a [[Z-Crystal]] in addition to a (roughly) type-matching TM. Players can also obtain a Lv 5 Kanto starter Pokémon from Prof. Elm's colleague Prof. Oak in [[Pallet Town]] at any point during this journey. Unless otherwise noted, the following gym leaders challenge the player to [[Double Battle]]s.

* Since her father [[Koga]] joined the [[Kanto Elite Four]], [[Janine]] has taken the reins of Fuchsia City Gym, operating it as a dual-type {{t|Poison}}/{{t|Dark}} themed gym. "It's one thing to learn from the past. It's another to get stuck in the past. Every generation has to try something new, I think." She explains to the player. Janine awards [[TM42]] {{m|Facade}} and [[Darkinium Z]] after defeating her.
* [[Sabrina]] will challenge the player to an [[Inverse Battle]]. She awards [[TM92]] {{m|Trick Room}} and [[Psychium Z]] after defeating her.
* [[Tucker]]'s challenge will consist of a series of 3-on-3 [[Rotation Battle]]s. Although Tucker's signature Pokémon is {{type|Fairy}} ''Lunamoth'', he and other trainers in this gym will feature randomly assorted parties of various types.
** Players may challenge Tucker's gym at any time in the post-game, but they will face one fewer round for every additional Kanto badge on hand. Given none to at least one Kanto badge, players can only face Tucker after winning 10 successive rounds; two Kanto badges in hand means nine wins before facing Tucker, and so on until a player with seven Kanto badges only requires four consecutive wins to battle Tucker in his impressive arena before roaring crowds.
** Players can only select three Pokémon from their party per round for battle but Tucker will feature a 6-on-6 [[Rotation Battle]]. 
* Rather than award a TM or Z-Crystal for defeating him, [[Blue]] will offer to teach any of your starter Pokémon the moves {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, or {{m|Hydro Cannon}} as often as you'd like. (See notes for Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, and Hydro Cannon under ''Changes to Pokémon Moves'' section.)
** [[Firium Z]] will be located at the pit of ''Cinnabar {{wp|Caldera}}''.
* A family in [[Lavender Town]] will pass onto you [[Ghostium Z]] in thanks for joining them to pay respects for a departed Pokémon.
* If you show Picnicker Carol (renamed [[Mira]]) on [[Kanto Route 10]] a "chunky, pink Pokémon with floral patterns" (ie, {{p|Munna}}), she will award you a [[Normalium Z]].
* A side quest off the [[Seafoam Islands]] featuring {{p|Lapras}} and [[Lorelei]] of the Kanto Elite Four will allow you to be awarded [[Icium Z]] as thanks.
* [[Steven Stone]] can be found be visiting the lobby of [[Silph Co.]] Headquarters. Approach him at any point of your Kanto journey: he will recognize the player as a fellow Champion and award one of the Hoenn starters (Lv 5): {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}}.
** [[Steven Stone]] will explain that he's learning about [[Silph Co.]]'s latest project: recreating [[Alola]]'s Z-Crystals for broader use. He admits that he feels conflicted about replicating those "sacred treasures" but will award you [[Steelium Z]] after earning 16 badges to "help you face the Kanto Elite Four".

* Upon clearing the Kanto Elite Four, players will proceed to the Champion's room to find none other than [[Lance]] yet again. Lance will explain that "these days" he usually fights challengers in lieu of the previous Champion who "has stepped away for more intensive training". Lance will offer to battle you again but then reconsider offering you access to [[Mt. Silver]] to challenge Kanto's original Champion yourself.

** Furthermore, fighting the Elite Four/Champion in EXPERT mode comes with additional restrictions:
1) Player will be limited to four mid-battle ''forced'' switches (NOT INCLUDING switching resulting from moves like {{m|Baton Pass}}, {{m|Parting Shot}}, {{m|U-turn}} and its variants, etc) per battle.
2) Battles against the Elite Four/Champion in this mode will also occur as Double Battles only.
** Completing Expert Mode through the Elite Four/Champion will award the player a Gold Ribbon. A player may only obtain the Silver or Gold Ribbon per save file and is locked into either BASIC/EXPERT
