Holy shit what. WHAT HOW DID I NOT

WHAT

jesus christ that's ridiculous WHY DID I NEVER USE IT

okay that's definitely gonna be its last move/s if it learns them

[Urist Imiknorris]

Power 100 after one stockpile.
Power 200 after two.
Power 300 after three.

That is still the third most powerful (and probably the most gimmicky) attack in the game.

WHAT

It takes three turns of charging to annihilate. Same with Swallow - it's horrendously powerful (full heal) after three stockpiles, but taking three turns to stockpile lessens its usefulness.

EDIT: For future reference, is there a move tutor, and if so, about how far through the game is (s)he?

[Zaerosz]

There is indeed a move tutor in the game. I haven't decided where/when yet, but definitely not before the fourth gym.

It gets better in gen IV and V. Stockpile boosts your def and spdef each time you use it, so you've got +3 on both defenses (150% boost, iirc).

Besides Smeargle, there are no normal type pokemon who can learn Spit Up, so its power is always 300, except when against resistant mons, where it's 150 (still a decent strength move).

My favourite (and perhaps overused combo) is a Scizor with a Focus Band, U-Turn and Technician.

Technician = 1.5x boost in power for moves under 60 power inclusive. U-Turn is power 60, it goes to 90 power, plus STAB bonus putting it at 135 power.  Choice Band = +50% attack boost but allows only one move to be selected. Nine resistances and only one weakness. A perfect Scizor with a Choice Band on can reach 591 Attack, along with its buffed Technician U-Turn allowing it to both scout and hit hard, while resetting the choice band penalty. Think about metagaming like that for a second.

Good defenses. Middling speed. Lots of resistances. A great ability. Scouting moves. Item that boosts attack. And the fact that Psychic and Grass tend to be pretty darn common, and Scizor becomes an insanely hard hitter.

I'll break it down.

U-Turn = 60 base.
Technician U-Turn = 90 base.
Technician STAB U-Turn = 135 base.
Technician STAB 2x (super effective, as in Psychic or Grass) U-Turn = 270 base.
Technician STAB U-Turn against Exeggutor or Celebi = 540 base power.
Technician STAB U-Turn against Exeggutor or Celebi + Choice Band boosting attack by 50% = the equivalent of 270 + 540 = 810 power.

AND THAT IS JUST FOR A NORMALLY WEAK ESCAPE MOVE.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Sorry to ruin your day a bit Reudh, but U-Turn has a base power of 70.

uuuuuuuugh so few bug moves, and the only one that somewhat fits the concept is Leech Life. Why couldn't gen 3 have had Bug Bite?

Anyway, moves. Imagine Seedot or Kricketot, except with an actual attack instead of Bide.

Input on Sing and Perish Song? They were attracted to music, so it stands to reason they'd try to make some of their own (with mixed success).

Stats'll be edited in momentarily.

Also, I'd recommend putting these two in the 600,000 EXP group.

Sorry to ruin your day a bit Reudh, but U-Turn has a base power of 70.

...It does? Oh. Well, Bullet Punch then. Still, that's relatively strong, though there's precious few types weak to Steel.

[Zaerosz]

Sorry, but why can THIS

learn Charm? Keeping it from its preevolution, sure, but being able to learn it all on its own?

[Urist Imiknorris]

Also Bug Bite exists and has 60 base power.

Keeping it from its preevolution, sure, but being able to learn it all on its own?

Because Choaking exists and might find it attractive.

(actually I just sort of forgot about it - I was going to replace it for the evolution. One moment please)

EDIT: There we go.

...excuse me while I go find some brain bleach.

For a mod with a large MLP inspiration, this seems to have more than its fair share of tortured/diseased-looking monsters.

Canterbury is the Australia of the Pokemon world; stereotyped, misunderstood and full of abominations against man and nature. And to be fair only one of said abominations was inspired by anything even tangentially related to MLP.

[Reudh]

I thought Quartz was the Australia of the pokemon world?

My mother is from Australia and I am almost offended by that.

[Reudh]

I am Australian.

[Zaerosz]

...well played.
