A buff for a virtually unusable move in regular Nuzlocke. Rather than permanently losing your Pokémon, this change allows you to keep it at a very risky 1 HP.

As such, this move is best kept for when you think it'll end the battle in your favour. A true finisher.

A trio of moves that raises Atk and SpAtk by +1, and causes all Normal-moves to turn into the corresponding type until the user is switched out.

Meant as a way to buff the somewhat underwhelming Normal-type Pokémon, by doubling down on their identity as true generalists with powerful coverage options.

Speaking of Normal-type buffs...

In the first Pokémon games, a bug caused Hyper Beam to not incur its penalty of a skipped turn if it lands a KO. With the lackluster power of Normal-types in the current meta, it's time to turn this bug into a feature.

Not landing the KO by any means (e.g. missing, not enough damage, Protect) will still incur the penalty, so using it doesn't come without risk; you're now simply rewarded if you do correctly anticipate the enemy's next move.

Here's a thematically fitting "panic button" for our bee friends. Pretty much a single-target, Bug-typed Explosion.

A move custom-tailored to Speed Boost enjoyers like Ninjask and Blaziken. Less powerful than Acrobatics on the first few turns, but if you can keep its user alive until then, you'll be steamrolling with this move - and a usable item slot!

For Ninjask specifically, this move's base power scales up from 60 > 80 > 100 > 120 > 140 > ...

One more bug-buff: a proper Steel-type STAB move for Scizor. If only one were to give it Sharpness as a hidden ability...

(yes, this is a straight up buff to an already strong Pokémon, but it's my personal ROM hack so who's gonna stop me?)

Moving on to some support moves: this one lets you increase the Speed of an ally, at the cost of some of their HP.

Alternatively, it can be used to take down an enemy in a pinch, though a failed KO will result in their doubled Speed.

Since I've given mostly high-Attack Pokémon access to this move, this one's quite risky to use, but in the right scenario it may just bring an ally back in the game.

Last but not least: what if you could give Dragon Dance to an ally? Its effect doubles in cold weather, granting a potential +2 Attack AND Speed to an ally.

Grass, Ground, Dragon and Flying types may not appreciate a STAB, snow-boosted ice bath, however...

While we're here, let's take a look at the other buff I gave our feathered friend.

With a 90% chance to heal allies and a 90% to damage enemies, Present is now a more reliable support move. As for the random typing: it just seemed fun and thematically fitting ;)

Another use for the ???-type: Kecleon now gets to have STAB in whatever type it turns into!

If Kecleon gains two types from Reflect Type, this move will also have two types. Like Flying Press, but with infinite variety.

Another signature move for Kecleon, this time more support oriented.

(Don't let Shedinja know...)

One of the FIVE new moves I've designed for my Cloudform Fakemon. Does what it says on the tin.

This is the core of its Sun build, which boasts a mix of offensive and sustain moves.

Same, but for snow. Enables Cloudform's Snow build, which is mainly intended for team support.

You guessed it...

100% accurate Thunder and Hurricane, with the latter also receiving STAB? Mhmm. Yes, quite.

You guessed it...

Just as powerful as it sounds cool, this one ends active weather with a violent conclusion. Deals a ton of STAB-damage, but also causes Cloudform to revert to its base form.

Oh yes! This one!

A signature move for my homeboy Claydol. Doubling down on its strong hazard-clearing identity, this move will punish the enemy team for cluttering Claydol's side of the field with a multi-target, 120 BP special attack.

I may seem a bit biased towards gen 3...

This move cements Cradily's identity as the ultimate Giga Draining wall, boosting all of its stats (except Speed) and applying the effects of Ingrain, at the cost of not being able to switch out.

Like No Retreat, but for one of the coolest tanks in the series.

What if Fake Out and Roar had a terrifying little baby?

Just look at this move and tell me it doesn't SCREAM Cacturne.

This one goes out to all my fellow masochists who don't embark on any Emerald Rogue run without the Embargo Curse.

It's literally identical to using a Full Restore, just for those that willingly choose to suffer even more than the base ROM hack asks them to (population: me).

This one's quite straightforward: an opening punch to disorient the opponent...

...to be followed up with a matching finisher!

I wanted classic Fighting types to have some *actual* martial arts combo's, so here's a start.
