5th Gen Dual-Type Attacks???

[Volroc]

does anyone else think we should get dual-type attacks

we have dual-type pokemon

bulbasaur, palkia, blaziken, exc.


how about an attack thats both fire&dragon types?
or a grass attack with water type properties?
or a rock&ground attack for pokemon like golem ^_^

i think its a good idea, how about you guys? imagine all the combos, and possibilities for new attacks XD
we could see a ghost/fire attack lol

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
it'll be way to hard to get a decent super effective attack. plus i don't feel like my level 100 charizard being destroyed be a level 20 walmer with a super destructive x8 effectiveness water/rock attack.

i doubt walmer would learn that :P

plus they could be tutored only to pokemon with the duo-type mentioned ;)

i dunno, but i think it would really make the games more diverse than others ^_^

 

[dieter57]

i get what your saying. but x8 damage is just a little to much for me.

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Yay for 2.25x damage from STAB and a possible 16x effectiveness on the enemy Pokemon.

no.

thank.

you.

i know, 8x would be torture
but still a dragon/electric attack would be badass XD

 

[SpawnHyuuga]

It's a bit of a shaky idea. It's not so bad...but what you need is to expand upon it.
In order to stop over-powering:

- Can only be taught to Pokemon who share this dual-typing
- Has a base power of 20 or less...because honestly it could get HUGELY overpowered with 16x or 2.5x

if i did all the work where would be the fun for you guys?

i left it purposefully open for everyone to chip in ideas ^_^

id say base power of 40-50 at the most, that way its not useless against pokemon who are neutral to it

 

[Shiny Shaymin]

All I got to say is that Duel type attacks would greatly confuse me. xD

 

[PiPVoda]

How would it work though? If a dark/electric type uses thunderbolt is my pokemon gonna get scared to death while being shocked by over 1,000 volts of electricity? :D

 

[EJ]

That's a really interesting idea. I've always thought about this.

Swampert's muddy water attack is a good one. Solarbeam could be Fire/grass. I don't see it happening but it's all good.

 

[IcyArceusRider]

I actually think that it would make the game much more challenging and interesting if there were dual-type attacks....however, it's not something that I would support. It's just....confusing. And wouldn't that make it possible for pokemon at level 10 to completely DESTROY a pokemon at level 100, technically? I mean, if the level 10 could score a double-double damage multiplier?

 

[zNickhs]

Nevermind :O

I think this wouldnt work, 'cause what about taking a 6xx on one hit? (justkiding).

 

[Cyberglass]

One way I could see this working is having a multiple-hit attack with a different type for each hit... so you would have an attack that hits for 40-power grass damage, then 40-power electric damage, for example (the order would probably have to be random, though).

 

[Hibaru]

It'll be too risky! Especially a lot of moves there is, That means they have to add another type to the previous gen moves and sure! Its confusing too! Type resistance and weakness will change too depends on what the move type attack the Pokemon with two types! For example Empoleon has a move...Lets see, Hydro Pump with Ice type in it and attacking Dialga! What's it gonna be? Of course, Dialga will have 2x weakness to that Attack! Trust me it won't happen.

...with a quick check on the damage calculator over at Smogon, a level 10 Mamoswine using an 8x effective move on a Level 100 Altaria OHKOs. D:

 

[Chaos Uxie]

hmm i had always thought bout dual type attacks but i have never thought bout the effectiveness, getting dual attacks would be cool but it wont be cool when it does 16x damage to my pokemon lol so in my opinion NO!!!

 

[TehYoshiNinja]

Yup... agreeing with about everyone else here. I thought it was an epic idea, but now I realise that a Rattata OHKO'ing Mewtwo with a Bug-and-Dark Bite is probably not worth doing XD

 

[Volroc]

well theres bound to be attacks that could do that x8 damage (theres no way to get to x16 silly :P)

b ut i doubt theyd make many moves like that, & the combos that did would only work on pokemon with no weaknesses

arent you fed up with those ghost/darks :P

i know i am :P this would even out alot of the un-evened things, without adding new types

such as steels overly resistance to everythin, dark/ghost types bein invulnerable, dragons uber-ness, exc.

 

[shamin32]

No it will way to confusing
