Imagine a blade type. That’d be pretty sick. Or like a Virus type?? I think that would be really cool.

0:48 I had the same question(s) when I first saw the playthrough for this game. It seems FNAF like to give the animatronics new abilities every game lol

2:36 this sentence should be added to the list of things that always guarantee something terrible will happen 😂😂

So far Ive got Barb Barrage, Dragon Darts, Fury Attack, Icicle Spear, Pin Missile, Poison Sting, Scale Shot, and Spike Cannon. Can anyone thing of anything else

Weavile really should have infiltrator over pickpocket. It really fits its role better. It would be a lot more threatening to booster mons like espathra and smeargle.

This series is gonna be extremely useful 👌🏻👌🏻

This a great Pokémon that can easily become broken if it had 10 more base speed

One thing that you could have mentioned is that technician also powers of false swipe meaning balloon gets a little bit of extra viability as your designated catching partner

What style of Breloom do you prefer?

Maybe this isn't the Piercing ability that I wanted since I would give it some defense negation or it negates your initial defense buff regardless of what it is but doesn't neg past it. So if you simple Cotton Guard and get to + 6 to them you're + 0 but if you Iron Defense twice then the first one won't matter and the second one will. Or maybe like instead it bypasses 25-30-50% of the Defense. However depending on the multiplier maybe it might be best to just do something like that and then No effect moves gain that same boost in a chance to break Screens. I don't care Sucker Punch/Surprise Attack is too much of like a possible punch and thus if I ever made a game I'm the kind of person who would classify it as a punch and a kick or a punch and a swing or anything else that could be like no affiliated attack type if I ever made an ability that boosted or countered those. This is my simple comment going over every move you talk about and maybe some you don't might happen later if I have the time. Stone Edge is maybe low-key for censor some of these moves in the Anime are either expanded upon or they could look WAY more cruel but of course kid friendly this ain't the Manga and even the Manga might not always go that deep after the 1st. One thing is like Gastly can learn Ice Punch or such and so for some of the moves that might feel they have a sharp feel to them but then the most random of mons get them might be related to some energy or motion they can make to re-create the move with the same power to a degree. What about the future and possibilities? MY BOY GROUDON! LETS GO! One of these days I hope we get a Gimmick Team/Double Battle it would probably be stronger in Doubles due to having both mons. Where like one Mon with a special thing shares their ability and maybe a move with the other mon in your team. A connection region. Maybe Overquil would just get a new move that's affected by the ability Cooling Toxins or something where it replaces it's ability after using the move this could work with all of it's abilities since imagine Swift Swimming then on the final turn of rain using the move whether you use some switch gimmicks as a Band or just have a Lorb, Type Boosting Item, Attack Category Boosting Item, or something else. Bagua! = I like the idea of some Jizo like moves I always think of Jiraiya working maybe if they seem focused I wonder if you were avoiding Multi-hit moves as I feel besides Technician which buffs mostly all of those some abilities are fine with buffing them AKA the only one we kinda have that has them since we don't have a Kicking ability that would boost Double or Triple Kick or Axle. (Triple Kick should gain the same power as Axle BTW) Since Comet Punch gets boosted and Surging Strikes along with Double Iron Bash showing that it might not be a thing of the multi hits it's just unlikely. Hm I see Pinned comment Horn Drill thing. I Negation ability would be fun. I loved using Wind Rider early in Scovi and still love when it works.

Why is this video not on the Pokémon Mini Reworks Series playlist

Dipplin and Hydrapple's Syrup Bomb chances from red to gold just like the Pokemon itself

Ice being super effective against Goku and Vegeta cause Broly movie. Hehe

Early bird: to me it should heal 1/4th for every turn lost in sleep, so any time the Pokemon can't move because of sleep it gets healed to represent the power nap the Pokemon is having

Love your ideas! And the patient and precise explanations! :)

In a similar vein, I wonder if Hitmontop could get an ability that boosts spinning moves.

Just for the sake of argument, poison sting should be a pinpoint instead of piercer ability as in the games it is a non-contact move and there are pokemon with no obvious stingers capable of learning it, such as the Tentacool, Arbok and Roselia line.

Vanguard is fine since well Pokémon Conquest uses that to increase twineedle (a poking etc attack). Plus we got Cardfight Vanguard.

Aqua jet could be another potential move to consider for this ability

We needs more stuffs like the Pledge Moves

Nageting Acc drops and Eva boost are the effect of Illuminate on gen 9, it was kinda added latter in 2.0.1 version of the game EDIT: nagates shadow tag would be a great effect to, negates Dense Fog was a effect that i also considering having.

what would be the name of the 'bulletproof-equivalent' ability to pinpoint? Stinger proof?

I think that already exist, because is What Strong Jaw do, but only for piercing moves that use your teeth.

Can we appreciate the Monster Hunter Rise music in the background. Love Monster Hunter

Much better effect for this is that it doubles the times it attacks *Example* - Poison Sting becomes chance to hit Two Times - Twin needle becomes chance to hit Four Times - Pin Missile becomes chance to hit Ten Times Etc. It can be a counterpart for Skill Link, where instead of guaranteed 5 times Hit, it becomes double the total chance to Hit The minimum still is 2 but its like adding more dices to a die roll

Thousand Arrows would probably be another good one. Too bad its stuck on Zygarde... for some reason....

Yea there’s a difference between thrusting and pin launching … but there’s a difference between singing, shouting and ringing a bell yet they are classed as sound based : firing a cannon and emitting a pulse are different yet they are all classed as launcher moves. I think it’s appropriate to fold both types of piercing moves into one subcategory. Or group in the pin launching ones with bullet type moves. Pinpoint could refer to marksmanship generaly which does include bullets. In fact you included bayonetta firing bullets as an example of pin firing move sooo…

I think instead of increasing power by 50% it should double critical ratio of pin moves. That is essentially the same but now the pins will ignore defense boosts. Alternately have the pins ignore defense boosts (without it being critical) to reduce the message boxes

Would spirit shackle be affected by pinpoint ability? While the description say what the attack do instead of saying what it is, we could clearly notice that decidueye use an arrow against the target's shadow and what is an arrow but a pointy projectile.

Think I ought to admit that I clearly didn’t understand the entire point (heh) of your last video in regards to some omitted moves like pin missile. I’d chalk this up to watching the video in the background but I do not even recall. I’m still unsure if GF would be as granular as to have two separate abilities to cover different cases for essentially piercing damage, but I understand this is just a proof of concept. In any case, I do always enjoy when more thematic concepts are solidified by mechanical effects in Pokémon. Stuff like sound moves having their own special properties, bulletproof grouping together some very disparate moves into a category of sorts etc. I’d like it if more of these things are added in the future.

Bullet Seed would also fit well of course, but I'm wracking my brain trying to think of other non-multihit moves that would benefit from this rn... first things that come to mind are Leaf Storm and Leafage("The user attacks by pelting the target with leaves."), the latter isn't exactly sharp but Leaf Storm specifically says "A storm of sharp leaves is whipped up..." in gen 4 at least lol. Petal Blizzard is another potential candidate for a barrage of small things that would be improved with better accuracy and precision, with "The user stirs up a violent petal blizzard and attacks everything around it." though again doesn't mention pointiness. Rock Blast and Rock Slide could work as well, as long as we aren't fussy about requiring pointiness. Same story for Seed Bomb, though it's also a bomb/ball move. Maybe Razor Wind? It's more slashy than pointy though.

Love the name! Well done

I'm late, but... Slow Start: start with -3/4 atk/spd, gain 1 atk/spd per turn, stat changes persist on swap. Probably broken but definitely more unique.

Shoutout received! I’m welcome to changes & criticism for this idea, as what exists in the games already: abilities & items etc. should cover enough aspects of this style of move

Love your dedication to the craft man (especially that Smash section) I still think the movepool is too small and the niche they stand for is a bit too specific so I would just clump them in with either Balls and Kaboom (TH-cam would suppress my comment lol) or Polearm (again, YT) moves Would love to see more ideas from you

The ability doesnt seem as fitting as the previous two mainly because skill link has similar flavor, making you hit with all 5 attacks precisely, and technician has a similar ingame effect to the proposed one. There also isnt as many moves and mons to benefit from it. An ability like iron spikes that boost all these moves plus stuff Iike needle arm, spiky shield and maybe even spin moves might be better imo

The amount of extra explaining you had to do makes me think some people were nagging a lot in the comments of the last video and nitpicking every little thing you said 😂😂

I was thinking, could we boost the PRECISION of these moves as well? Like, boost both the precision and dmg of this kind of moves by 1.3, or something like that? Just not to go always for the 1.5 boost route, idk, could be taken in consideration for future abilities instead.

TH-cam has been really chill about these last two Impaling and Shooting abilities! I'll try and unblock comments that look suppressed due to the topic. Just know that if your comment is blocked or removed, it wasn't me.

Nice

I feel like move fusion could either be a one time per battle or one per pokémon, depending on execution. For example, I think status moves could fuse, like spore and swords dance, where it becomes "effect & buff", a generic name for all self status plus enemy status fusions, the effect wouldnt turn gwnwric though, ans it would be an actual fusion Another gimmick I can imagine is changing abilities, like a Almost Any Abiity format, but I suppose choosing Wonder Guard would give you a "your pokemon cant do that!" message,for the best... Mega pokémon essentially can have two abilities in battle, it could be similar, but the abilities you could select would be limited to a few, my list would include: -Merciless -Shell Armor -Synctonize -Trace -Aerilate, Refrigerate, Pixelate -Infiltrator -Tinted lens -Swift Swim -Keen Eye -Levitate -Intimidate -Chlorophyll -Water Absorb -Volt Absorb -Flash Fire -Sap Sipper -Dry Skin -Soundproof Etc etc

On another topic, is there a kicking-move-boosting ability yet? I feel like there are enough kicking moves to give them an Iron Fist esque ability EDIT: Never mind! You made a video about it already, my bad

Hearing that 'Needle Arm' possibly wouldn't be known of by some people because of Game Freak is CRAZY, lol. D':

How About Lancer

I think you’re limiting yourself by your ability piercer only being directly piercing. Making the case for multiple hitting moves what is not many also, you forgot spike cannon. For example, there’s already Pokémon that have technician with loaded dice to take a vantage of and a 50% boost to a piercing move, is not enough to win someone over to used this ability. I also wish you at this to your ability but it might make it broken, by added affect an pseudo infiltrator but hits with 25/50% maximum power or ignores the opponents defensive stats boost.

Spearhead: Increases damage of all piercing moves seems reasonable

Making a case for the eligibility of Pin missile: Comet punch is affected by both iron fist and skill link, therefore pin missile should also be fine with being elligible for both skill link and piercing.

I think a fire, ice and electric family of piercing moves would be cool to match the punch and bite ones, also an ability that pierces protect with piercing attacks is also an option.

That’s exactly the type of creativity I subscribed for!! A great idea that will boast the viability of some Pokémon while also making so much sense
