Acacia Sgt Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 >Steel/Ghost type >Levitates I sure hope this goes where I hope it will go. There are various ways to circumvent Levitate (Smack Down, Gravity, Mold Breaker and it's variants, etc). In addition anyone with Scrappy, Foresight, or Odor Sleuth and a Fighting type move can also a good chance against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadykid Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) edit: nvm that loses the pun, why don't steel/ghost types have sword-like moves other than slashing ^true, but that would make it much better against ground types anyway Edited July 5, 2013 by shadykid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelato Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Can anyone think of ONE Steel-type move it could possibly learn? Because I can't. Hopefully they will give it an exclusive STAB move. I have a feeling we're going to get a new Steel type move because of this Pokemon. I'd presume a Steel type equivalent to Leaf Blade; 90 base power, 100% accuracy, higher chance to critical. Speaking of which, I would be surprised if this Pokemon doesn't learn stuff like Psycho Cut and Leaf Blade to go with the sword motif, kind of like how Gallade does it. Shame it wouldn't learn Sacred Sword or Secret Sword due to the whole exclusivity thing. Edited July 5, 2013 by Gelato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it learning Gyro Ball and go all spin attack on it's opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime Manic Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I hope this pokemon has nice STAB on its attacks What you did there: I see it. Ghost typing: denying you STAB on anything above 80 Base Power for five generations so far. Steel typing: home of Meteor Miss and Miss Tail for your strongest STAB options. So yeah... for a presumably offensive pokemon, as thrilled as I am with this typing (Steel type with Fighting immunity Go Go GO), I'm not going to have high hopes for it's viability until I know it has a decent stat spread and legitimately good STAB options. Ghost and Dark are the ONLY types that don't have any moves above 80 Base Power (and they have the same coverage; how great is that?). Physically oriented Ghost types especially have it bad. Really hoping that changes with this next generation. Frankly, I don't expect this 'mon to be very good without better STAB options than what exist through Gen V. Great defensive typing, though. Steel Spinblocker Master Race? On a Sword ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karasz Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 ^ Shadow Force is exclusive only to Giratina, though. Anyway, this new Pokemon's English name is confirmed as "Honedge." Just...I love this Pokemon, but I am very disappointed in the name. "Hexcalibur" would have been a better name. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Manic Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Shadow Force has 120 I often forget Shadow Force exists since it's exclusive to Giratina (and an event Arceus iirc). Plus, taking two turns to attack is fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, taking two turns to attack is fail. Immune to damage the first turn and breaks through protect/detect on the second doesn't really seem all that bad to me :U Also the first thing I thought of when seeing this thing was Death Sword from TP(the sub boss in Arbiter's grounds or whatever that place was called, the sand place with stallard) Edited July 5, 2013 by Kitty of Time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime Manic Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Immune to damage the first turn and breaks through protect/detect on the second doesn't really seem all that bad to me :U In-game, it's irrelevant (5 pp is disappointing though). You can do and use whatever you want. Against a person, you're basically giving your opponent at least one free turn, telling them what you plan to do, and letting them react accordingly. It's terribad. What good is breaking through protect/detect when there's a type with an immunity to it?
