Pokemon Umbral Discussion 31: Zero Mode and Asuras

[Menarker]

@AB: Pokemon Veterans sounds good. Thanks for that.

Everything else sounds cool, even though Snaggers being a pain in the ass is a pain in the ass. :3

Didn't think the Half Demon thing and the process that Gem would go through to get it would be overpowered. At least from the little I know about the specifics of the class.


@ Drac:

That's just wrong. 90 power after STAB for Drain Punch is not a 10 power difference from 120 power Tentacle Leech before STAB.

I won't likely drop any further than 80 Power (120 after STAB) Bug type Attack damage and 100% accuracy with 50% health drain and the single target Haze attached. No restriction on foes.

You misread what I posted apparently. I posted "AFTER STAB" not before. 120 power after the Bug STAB bonus. (80 power before STAB)

Also, I'm not going to be the one that scours Bulbapedia for it, but how many pokemon that know Giga Drain or Drain Punch have 100 Attack like Mollesk? And if there are any with as much or more attack than Mollesk, how broken do you think it would be if they could use a 120 power HP-draining move? And it had STAB?

There are 5 families of (non legendary) pokemons capable of using Drain Punch with STAB (all with high attack), several other families that don't have STAB but really high attack power, as well as several that have it for the sake of having it.

As for Giga Drain? There are a SHITLOAD of pokemons who have STAB and high Special Attack (Grass tends to have pretty good special attack), lots that don't have STAB and have really high special attack, and the total number of pokemons that have access to it is HUGE due to the TM status that it is and that the types that can use it include bug, poison, among several other oddities like water and dragon types.

The buff thing is a added bonus in a manner similar to how Shaymin got that Special Defense debuff on its version of Fire Blast.

I already posted the weaker version. Be happy with it.

Anyhow, rented some video games, so I'll be on and off. :3
