I was going to say another overheat but still. I wonder how it will look like in the games.

"Meteor" made it sound like a Steel move. But the Japanese name, "Ryuuseigun" sounds more Dragonic.
Let's wait and see how GameFreak handles the effects shall we?

Umm... sharply reduces sp. attack and also 140... Just like overheat isn't it? xD Actually I'm not sure I actually like this attack :P I would use Overheat before my Pokemon has almost fainted so I can't say I'm gonna use this one also xD I'm happy to hear that a new D/P attack announce though.

Yay for more sucky attacks -_- Overheat's only purpose is to OHko the likes of Groudon and Skarmory, and this thing is only super effective against Dragons, which (most of them atleast) can be OHko'd by Ice beam, so this move serves no real purpose, seeing as two Dragon Claws are stronger.
If Rayquaza will be able to learn this move, I'm going to puke. It's not like all these Rayquazas with Overheat wouldn't be enough x_x
The new moves need more originality >D

They probably might give that move to the new legendary that is a Dragon type or if it can learn it.

Well I use Overheat to surprise opponents but It's not too surprising coming from a Camerupt anyway =P. This attack does seem similar but maybe there'll be a dragon pokemon worthy of using it with class.

It sounds pretty awesome. I hope they don't ruin it by making it look crappy when it is launched by the attacker.

They should've made a Surf-like dragon attack instead, this one is horrible.

I think this attack sounds really good. The way it is set up leads me to believe it will a gym prize. This is just an idea, but still I think it is worth thinking about.
I don't know if I would use this attack though. Overheat and I never got along.

Or maybe this will be a new TM and you can find that TM near a legi or just win it as a prize.
Any ideas:t201-qu:

That is the strongest one yet I think. It is probably gonna come with some annoying tag like for hyper beam=one turn rest after, overheat=lower special attack. Over 120 power tends to be like that.
