Duel-type MOVES

[Harthos]

Just as there are duel type Pokemon, I think that there should also be duel type Moves. Hey, some moves already qualify, like MUDDY WATER, or FIRE PUNCH, ICE PUNCH, etc. I think that would make things REALLY cool and interesting..

[Charaxes]

There probably should be a dual move like that weird thing they did to Thunder in the anime with Tate and Liza.

I'd say Acid Armor, that should be Poison and Water with that defensive move.

So we make up new moves or think moves that should be in a schism?

MAybe, but dual-type moves would be weird and maybe confuse some people. Like if there was a psychic-ghost move, would it affect normal types, which are unvurnerable(or however you spell it) to ghost moves.

[Shiny Meganium]

I have thought about this a lot. I think there should be. For example, Blaze Kick could be Fire+Fighting and Fire Punch, ice punch and thunderpunch could be fire/ice/electric+fighting

[jc_rcw]

But then the problem rises again, if blaze kick was Fire+Fighting and Fire Punch, ice punch and thunderpunch could be fire/ice/electric+fighting, then would they affect ghost types? This is because fighting moves don't affect ghosts but fire/electric/ice do, and it wouldn't be fair.

And that Ladies and Gentlemen is why we don't do dual type moves.

Although like with the dual types, I'd go with the prominent type with the dual moves.

Like say, Venusaur, it's a Grass/Poison, but the Grass traits stick out more, so hence my thoughts of it being Grass. Same here.

But yeah, some moves would be nice for a side effect/type. It works for the card game at times. I'm not saying a lot but a sparse sampling would be nice to test.

To get back on topic ish, Reflect should be more than a wall, it should be Counter given the connotations of the mirror effect.

[jc_rcw]

Maybe, but the point of reflect is to be a wall that kind of stops attacks a little. Then it can be broken by brick brake, which makes sense, and still if it had the abilities of a mirror, then there wouldn't be any mirror coat.

[Charaxes]

Exactly, it should be like Mirror Coat, one move fits all. And then be like Overheat, gets weaker as it's continually used.

But anyway, getting ahead of myself. What about the Fly moves as you're diving in and attacking with your arms/claws/tentacles anyway? Might as well be two for one with Fighting/Normal as the other type.

Oh well.

[jc_rcw]

Maybe, but fly is like go up, spot your prey and attack with the claws. Since most birds do that, then its only flying.
