>ResonanceWhen another Pokémon on the field uses any Sound based move, Resonance causes the ability-bearer to use that same move immediately afterward (so dancer but for sound)>UsersExploud lineGardevoirWiggly lineNoivern linechatot>punishes slow parting shot users>double hyper voice/boomburst spam>eerie spell eats 6pp per turnprobably not enough for some of them but at least a niche slot for exploud would be nice
>>58547913Chatot should just have an evolution first.
>>58547921Squawkabilly should've just been her evo
>>58547970No Squawkabilly have a gang/pompadour theme. Chatot has a music theme. The evo makes no sense not even from a physical standpoint (i.e luvdisc-> alolomola). Chatot's evo should keep a music theme I don't really like the fanart here but the general gist is what chatot's evo should be
>>58547913Just make it a sound type lol
>>58547913The best aspect of Exploud is Scrappy + Boomburst, I don't think he should lose Scrappy. He was actually usable during the first DLC of SWSH, because Choice Specs Boomburst could actually oneshot Urshifu, he just needed Tailwind support. It's too bad he didn't get into SV because he probably would've liked Tera Normal.I'm not sure a Mega would improve Exploud because it might be inferior to Choice Specs damage wise, and it would definitely be inferior to Tera Normal Choice Specs.
Introduce a new item that makes the user permanently confused.It has an additional effect of giving Spinda a 2x omniboost when held. Change its Own Tempo ability to something that doesn't completely circumvent the drawback, like Dancer, Unaware, or a new ability that makes it hit the enemy in confusion instead.
Give quiver dance
>>58549341single omniboost would be plenty, 2x omniboost would be huge power + swift swim. 60 base is plenty with both of those abilities already.
>>58549417Well it would also hit itself a third of the time instead and not be able to benefit from any other item, so I don't think it would really be all that concerning in practice.Confusion is kind of a cringe status condition though, I think they should change it to a chance to use on of your other moves at random instead, would be more fun. In which case I'd make it a +1.
Revert the Gale Wings nerf.Seriously just look at the bullshit in OU/ubers from recent gens (7 thru 9) and tell me with a straight face that somehow a mon with meh non-speed stats, a quad plebbles weakness, and limited offensive coverage is suddenly going to become overpowered if it gets consistent flying priority again.
>>58549100still, noivern + exploud would mean 4 boomburst per turn, I mean, that should be good enough to ignore scrappy. But gardevoir + noivern would be the best combo imo, you can tailwind + 2 psychic noise turn 1
>>58547913>give fishious rend>put some of it's special attack into speed because base 52 is absolute ass
>>58547913you improve shitmons by discarding the shitty legacy basestats and movepools of the series and rebalancing them. Not by introducing a random ability to a handful of mons that might bump them from ZU to NU on a good day.
>>58549891nah, incremental buffs are best. Plus playing lower power formats is pretty fun.
>>58547913Pokemon Tectonic solved this In fact, I suspect that's where you got your idea from because this guy is one of the villain's teams and does exactly thatIt also does a full rebalance so most (fully evolved) mons have roughly starter BSTs
>>58547913Give any shitmon a special version of Intimidate, and watch its usage soar.
>>58551475special attackers are not meant to have counters
