Talk:Poké Assist

Type effectiveness

Should a note be made that the effectiveness of the Poké Assists doesn't necessarily depend on type? For example, Drapion springs to mind. As a Dark-type it should be immune to psychic attacks, however the Psychic Poké Assist is "super effective" on it due to it's poison typing. As a note, Drapion's Poké Assist is Poison. However it doesn't explain why Combee's Flying Poké Assist is super effective on other Combee, due to their bug typing. Werdnae 03:12, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

They follow groups, not really types. On the Combee thing, that's normal. _*tc26_* 03:21, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

How to format Guardian Signs Poké Assist

I've taken an interest in finally updating this page with how Poké Assist work in Guardian Signs. Here's a basic rundown of how they work. In this game, Poké Assist are a combination of a move type, as well as a level assigned to that species of Pokémon. For example, Pidgey, Pidgeotto, and Pidgeot all have the Tornado [Forward] Poké Assist, but they are leveled 1, 2, and 5 respectively. This system can be seen much more clearly in the Past missions, where you can upgrade a Pokémon's Poké Assist through all 5 levels. Group/Type effectiveness still applies. In addition, a leveled up version of a Poké Assist isn't as simple as adding more projectiles or increasing power. Level one throws out 1 tornado, level two throws out 2 tornados, yet level five spawns 6 large one's that now circles in place. It's almost like a visual reference is required to understand these moves. So I really just need advice on how to portray this data, I'm more than capable of collecting it, but I really need help just getting this started.

It also came to my attention that this more detailed portrayal should also be incorporated into the main pokemon pages as well. Brin (talk) 00:08, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
