WELCOME! Please leave feedback & suggestions on my Talk Page

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

Updated: 05/10/2018.

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

If any of those moves are used by an opponent in the same turn after Smokescreen has been activated, these moves will fail.

  • Furthermore, any Dark-type move by the opponent targeting the user of Smokescreen or its allies will also fail through the end of the turn.
• Barrier is now an increased priority move (+1) that boosts the user's Defense by two stages for the remainder of that turn through end of next/following turn.

• Withdraw is now an increased priority move (+1) that boosts the user's Defense by one stage.

• Charm lowers the 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.
  • Furthermore, Charm can end/undo the effects of Curse and Curse can end/undo the effects of Charm – in-battle message will read "Eevee's Charm removed (the target's) Curse" (???)
• The base power vis-à-vis PP count for 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 Fairy-type.
• Last Resort is now a physical Normal-type version of Trump Card.
• 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 Magic Coat and all instances of the former Luster Purge or formerly named Magic Coat become this move.

• As an additional effect, the moves Lock-On and Mind Reader allow the user to bypass an opponent's Substitute to attack the target directly during the following turn. Furthermore, Lock-On and Mind Reader allow the user's next move to hit the target during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly/Sky Attack, Sky Drop, Bounce, Dig, Dive, Phantom Force, or Shadow Force
• As an additional effect, the moves Odor Sleuth, Foresight, and Miracle Eye will cause the target's Substitute to fade immediately.
• Cross Poison deals damage and now has a 30% chance of poisoning the target. Furthermore, its base power is doubled if the target is poisoned, but it will also cure the target of poison. This move's accuracy is reduced to 90%.
• The base power of Leech Life is limited to 40 and 75% of the damage dealt to the target is restored to the user – effectively a Bug-type variation of Draining Kiss.
• The effects of Electrify are folded into Ion Deluge under a single move, an improved Ion Deluge – ie, Ion Deluge is an increased priority move (+1) that makes the target's move Electric-type for that turn, even if it is a status move. Furtheremore, Ion Deluge causes all Normal-type moves (including status moves) to instead become Electric-type for the remainder of the current turn.

  • 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.
• Heat Wave now clears the terrain effects of Grassy Terrain, Grassy Surge, and Icy Terrain upon first use. Using Heat Wave a second consecutive turn triggers Scorched Earth terrain.
• Using Blizzard, Icy Wind, Frost Breath, or Glaciate a second consecutive turn triggers Icy Terrain.
• Rather than the unusual physical damage gimmick, Psyshock instead has a 30% chance of inflicting paralysis as an additional effect.
• Force Palm now inflicts damage as a special move using the user's Attack base stat is now a special Fighting-type attack but is also grants STAB-boost if the user is Psychic-type (this STAB-boost is not stackable, ie a dual Fighting/Psychic-type will not get a double STAB-boost). That said, Force Palm retains its secondary effect: 30% chance of paralyzing the target.
  • This move is now eligible for a boost from the ability Mega Launcher but is also blocked by the ability Bulletproof.
• 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 Recycle, Pickup, or Harvest. As an additional effect, this move also grants STAB-boost if the user is Dark-type or Ghost-type (this STAB-boost is not stackable, ie a dual Fire/Dark-type will not get a double STAB-boost).
• Now, Sweet Scent lowers the Attack and Special Attack of all adjacent opponents one stage each per use. As an added an effect, Sweet Scent can also be used on an adjacent ally in battle to boost its Special Defense and Speed one stage each per use.
• "Razing the target with mystical multi-colored flames of great intensity", Sacred Fire now inflicts super-effective damage against Ghost-type and Dark-type targets as additional effects.

Furthermore, this move can hit targets during the semi-invulnerable turn of Dive, and if it does, it will have its power doubled for that Pokémon.
• 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.

  • Pokémon with the Ability Clear Body and White Smoke will not have their Speed lowered, and Pokémon with the Ability Contrary will instead have their Speed raised by one stage. Sticky Web triggers the effects of the Abilities Defiant and Competitive.
  • However, Sticky Web also prevents all affected targets from switching out or fleeing (including via Teleport). It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. It will hit the target even if it has used Protect or Detect.
  • The moves Rapid Spin and 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.

• Now Bulldoze only affects all adjacent foes.
• Now Overheat only affects all adjacent foes.
• Now Discharge and Parabolic Charge only affect all adjacent foes.
• No longer the signature move for the Exeggcute evolutionary line, Barrage is now a multi-strike Fire-type 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.

• During harsh sunlight, a Pokémon with ability Solar Power gains a 1.25× boost to its Special Attack AND RECOVERS one-eighth (⅛) of its maximum HP at the end of each turn.
• Illuminate now has in-battle effects: a Pokémon on the field with this Ability will grant a 30% boost to the original accuracy of moves by all allies AND reduce the original accuracy of moves by all foes by 30%.

  • Rock Wrecker, Gyro Ball, and Ice Ball are no longer considered ball and bomb moves, but now Fire Blast, Explosion, Self-Destruct, Mud Shot, Sure Shot, Air Slash, and Razor Wind are included.

• The ability 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.
• In addition to lowering the Attack stat of all adjacent opponents by two stages, the ability Intimidate prevents an opponent from using a priority move (including moves boosted by Prankster, Gale Wings or 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.

• Ninetales should be part Psychic-type or, preferably, part Ghost-type.
• Venomoth is now Bug/Fairy and renamed Lunamoth, the Lunar Moth Pokémon (or have a regional variant to that effect).
  • Lunamoth Venomoth should learn Misty Terrain at level 1 in lieu of Tackle, Moonlight by level-up in lieu of Leech Life, and Moonblast by level-up in lieu of Psychic.
  • Lunamoth learns Powder and Silver Wind as Evo.-moves in lieu of Gust. Lunamoth no longer learns Stun Spore and Poison Powder by level-up (Sleep Powder is retained).
• Psyduck's abilities are now Damp or Pure Power (see note for Pure Power under Changes to Battle Mechanics & Abilities section below). Golduck should be Water/Psychic and be renamed Zenduck. Its abilities are now Wonder Skin (replacing Psyduck's Damp) or Swift Swim Competitive  (replacing Psyduck's Pure Power).
  • Zenduck should learn Refresh by level-up in lieu of Fury Swipes, Psycho Shift by level-up in lieu of Screech, Psyshock by level-up instead of Psych Up, Calm Mind by level-up in lieu of Amnesia, and Miracle Eye by level-up instead of Wonder Room.
• Instead of simply being animated magnets, Magnemite, Magneton, and Magnezone should be redesigned as (simplified) gnat-like Bug/Steel-type Pokémon.
• Jynx and Smoochum should be Ice/Fairy-type.
• Smoochum should be Fairy-type. Jynx should be Ice/Ghost-type.

• Galvantula now has the abilities Volt Absorb Compound Eyes Infiltrator or Fur Coat. Joltik now has the abilities Volt Absorb Compound Eyes Infiltrator or Static.
• Should Heatran be retconned as an Ultra Beast???

• Normal-type targets are no longer immune to Ghost-type moves. Ghost-type moves inflict normal damage (×1) against Normal-type Pokémon.
• Poison-type is no longer super-effective against Fairy-type. In fact, the reverse now holds: Fairy-type is super-effective against Poison-type.
• Ghost-type is no longer super-effective against Psychic-type. In fact, the reverse now holds: Psychic-type is super-effective against Ghost-type.
• Cross Poison deals damage and now has a 30% chance of poisoning the target. Its base power is doubled if the target is poisoned, but it will also cure the target of poison. Also, this move's accuracy is reduced to 90%.
• 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 Magic Coat and all instances of the former Luster Purge or formerly named Magic Coat become this move.

Revamped Type Chart According to AceTrainerAlvaro

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

Main article: 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.

These matchups are suitable for Generation VI.

In Inverse Battles, a different type chart is used that essentially inverts the normal type chart, turning immunities and resistances into weaknesses, and weaknesses into resistances.

• 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 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 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.
  • Route 30, Route 31, and 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 Rock Smash to break rocks or Rock Climb to scale slopes. You cannot fully navigate Route 30 or 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 Route 31, Route 32, and 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 Strength outside of battle. Defeating Marshal will also grant access to Rock Climb outside of battle.
  • Marshal's hometown is actually called Majolica Town, but the layout is based on Lacunosa Town. (Or should Sandgem Town be renamed Majolica Town?)
  • You cannot fully navigate Route 32 during your first approach as the north half of the coastal route now features slopes, cliffs, & small caves only accessible by Rock Climb. These cliffs and small caves might hold Fossils, or Shoal Shells that can be used by the Treasure Hunter in Driftveil City to craft a [[Shell Bell].
  • Union Cave now holds Shoal Salts that can be used by the Treasure Hunter in Driftveil City to craft a [[Shell Bell], as well as (randomly regenerated) Heart Scales to trade for the expertise of the Move Reminder (now found in Olivine City).
  • The small strip formerly known as Route 33 is now considered the tail-end of Route 32. Instead, Route 33 will refer to a trainer-filled sea route navigable by Surf leading back to the Berry Farm on Route 29. An 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 Route 36 will be rugged and craggy from the rock faces of Fennel Canyon. The "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 Rock Smash outside of battle to clear the path.
  • Route 38 and Route 39 now feature much more rugged terrain with tall karst formations and irrigated paddy fields inspired by Wulingyuan, otherwise the Forest of Ten Thousands Peaks. There is also a river navigable by Surf requiring 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 marshy areas, similar to 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 Rock Smash to break rocks or 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 Rock Smash to break rocks or Rock Climb to scale slopes.
• Cinnabar Island now takes on the layout of Humilau City. The island's volcano has since collapsed into Cinnabar Caldera, a separate landmass just south of Cinnabar Island that is reachable by Surf and features wild Pokémon migrating from other regions.
• 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 microclimate above-ground.
  • 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 Poison, Ground, Ghost, and Dark-type); volcanic hot springs (generally Fire, Water, and Dragon); windswept rock outcroppings (generally Rock, Steel, and Flying-type); and flower meadow (generally Grass, Bug, Normal, and Fairy-type).
  • 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.
  • Route 35, Route 34, and  Route 32 have a 50% chance of clear weather, 25% chance of harsh sunlight, or 25% chance of rain during each visit.
  • Route 37 and Route 42 in particular have a 50% chance of fog during each visit. Route 37 will always be foggy during your first visit as a sort of introduction to Ecruteak City.
  • Route 38 and Route 39 in particular have a 25% chance each of experiencing rain, thunderstorms, fog, or clear weather during each visit.
  • 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.
  • Route 45 and 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 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 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. 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).
  • Heavy snowfall is present at the summit of Mt. Silver.
• SIDE QUEST When walking along 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 Rock Smash outside of battle to "join" Karen OR Jasmine in search of a rare Sableye OR 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 Dragonair have replaced 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.
  • Route 222 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 Route 213, players must now use HM Surf to travel along mangroves at the southwestern edge of the route.
  • Route 218 should offer a longer path for crossing with HM03 Surf.
• The Resort Desert is now located on Sinnoh Route 229 as an expansive desert area featuring a raging sandstorm. The Resort Area to the immediate south is now known as the Oasis Resort 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.)
• Route 230 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 Cookies, etc).

Charm Offense is a damage-dealing Fairy-type move. It inflicts damage as a physical move if the user's Attack base stat is greater; otherwise, it inflicts damage as a special move (if the user's Special Attack base stat is greater). Charm Offense inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of lowering the target's accuracy by one stage. Charm Offense hits a single target at a time.

Ground-type Sand Pit' prevents all grounded foes from fleeing (including Teleport) or switching out as long as the user remains in battle. Using Baton Pass, U-turn, Volt Switch, or Parting Shot will fail upon use but Teleport may still be used. Holding a Smoke Ball or Shed Shell allows the Pokémon to flee or Teleport, but not switch. Ghost-type and Flying-type Pokémon as well as Pokémon with the abilities Levitate or 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 Ghost-type status move Fog Call is used, 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 Accuracy of all Pokémon battling – EXCEPT Ghost-type and Flying-type Pokémon – is multiplied by 75% (ie, reduced by 25%). Also, the base power of Ghost-type and Flying-type moves will be increased by 25%. Furthermore:

• the power of Weather Ball is doubled and it becomes Ghost-type.
• the power of Solar Beam is halved.
• Moonlight, Synthesis, and Morning Sun only recover ¼ of max HP.

Fire-type 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 on the ground and not in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move:

• the base damage of Water-, Grass-, AND Bug-type moves will be halved (DECREASED by 50%)
• at the end of each turn, this terrain restores the HP of any and all Pokémon with the abilities Flame Body (yes, that includes Magma Armor), Flash Fire, White Smoke, Drought, Desolate Land, or Flare Boost by ⅛ of its maximum HP.
• any instance of Ingrain that remains active will end and further attempts to use the move will fail – eg, in-battle message: Scorched Earth burned through Cacturne's Ingrain!

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

Water-type status move Tidal Surge 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 on the ground and not in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move:

• the base damage of Fire-, Ground-, AND Rock-type moves will be halved (DECREASED by 50%). Pokémon with the ability Water Compaction are immune to this effect
• damage from Water-, Grass-, AND Electric-type moves will get a 50% boost (×1.5)
• activates the abilities Hydration, Swift Swim, and Rain Dish
• any instance of Ingrain will remain active
• now a two-turn move, Surf can be executed immediately if Tidal Surge terrain is in effect.

If Tidal Surge is in effect, Nature Power becomes Surf; Secret Power uses the animation of Hydro Pump and has a 30% chance of inflicting a burn; while Camouflage causes the user to become Water-type. Natural objects disappear while is in effect. The weather-modifying moves Sunny Day, Sandstorm, Hail, or Fog Call will cause Tidal Surge to end; however, Tidal Surge can be stacked with Rain Dance or the ability Drizzle to generate heavy rain.

Grass-type Thorn Whip is Roserade's new signature move. Thorn Whip 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 an equal chance to be a critical hit. Pokémon with the Ability Skill Link will always hit five times when using Thorn Whip unless it misses. As a physical move, Thorn Whip is affected by Counter rather than Mirror Coat.

Thorn Whip may continue attacking after breaking a substitute. Bide and Mirror Coat will only acknowledge the last strike of this move. If a Focus Sash, Focus Band, or 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 flinch. If the target has Weak Armor, each strike will activate it.

Water-type Vapor Therapy Vapor Therapy cures the user, all Pokémon in the user's party, and the user's allies, of all status conditions (sleep, poison, paralysis, freeze, and burn).

Phoenix Ascent (or Fire Rebirth?) is a two-turn Fire-type status move that resets all the user's stat stages (positive and negative) to 0, fully restores the user's HP (but not PP), as well as removes all status conditions…after an initial turn when the user is semi-invulnerable.

• • turn 1, in-battle message: A mystical fire seems to consume [user]!
  • turn 2, in-battle message: [user] rises from the ashes, renewed!

The user sent out at the end of the second turn after all other Pokémon have moved.

Flame Rite is a non-damaging Fire-type status move that restores up to 50% of the user's maximum HP and then causes the user to discard its Fire-type. Flame Rite fails if the user isn't Fire-type, which means the move will always fail after the first use until the Pokémon regains its Fire-type – eg, by switching out, using the move Reflect Type, or through an ability like Protean. If the user is a pure Fire-type Pokémon, it will become typeless be treated as Normal-type until further notice.

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

Temper is a non-damaging Fire-type status move that raises the Attack stat and Defense stat of the user or an adjacent ally by one stage each.

Steel-type Quicksilver launches a volley of metal pellets to inflict physical damage (base power 80). It has a priority of +1, so is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.

This move can also can also hit the target during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, Sky Drop, or Sky Attack. This move cannot affect a target with the ability Bulletproof.

Effect Steel-type 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 Defense stat by one stage. Pokémon with the Ability Skill Link will always hit five times when using Thorn Whip unless it misses. As a physical move, Thorn Whip is affected by Counter rather than Mirror Coat.

Thorn Whip may continue attacking after breaking a substitute. Bide and Mirror Coat will only acknowledge the last strike of this move. If a Focus Sash, Focus Band, or 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 flinch. If the target has Weak Armor, each strike will activate it.

Fairy-type Can-Can inflicts damage for 2-3 turns (PP is deducted only on the turn Thrash is first called) after which the user becomes 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 Protecting target, or 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 Mummy for the following 2-5 2-3 turns; a message will read "(target) joined the dance!"

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.

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 Facade and Darkinium Z after defeating her.)
• Rather than award a TM or Z-Crystal for defeating him, Blue will offer to teach any of your starter Pokémon the moves Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, or 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 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, Munna), she will award you a Normalium Z.
• 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): Treecko, Torchic, or 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".

Lance will offer to battle you again but then reconsider offering you access to Mt. Silver to challenge Kanto's original Champion yourself.
