The reason I would find the no-item idea interesting is because of its use in a possible no-item battle facility. (Like the Arcade) Some fun potential there.

I sure hope it doesn't affect items...maybe it affects only powerup items, that we can still you berries,etc :)

Anyways... What if there was some sort of freak accident and GameFreak made the damage of the moves the secondary effects, and the original secondary effects are the main effects. If that happens, Encourage would cancel out the attacks, and make the secondary effects stronger, which really doesn't do anything! |
Quote:
See how that works? It's not a secondary effect, it's a result of you being reckless. Just like hard hitting physical attacks are on Pokémon, high power full body hits at the expense of taking damage from it. |

I am going to say it will probably keep it. As like recoil damage, surely the lowering of the stat would be built into the Primary Effect?

Guess only time will tell, I'm eager to see wether this will prove an overpowering ability or just a gimmick for Wooguru

Basically what I'm going to go by is Serebii's attack dex. Any 'secondary effect' that has a --% will happen regardless, but anything with a number will not occur. Meaning even though Mud-slap has a 100% accuracy down effect, that will not work with encourage. |

I agree with you there guys

Maybe the eagle will surpass staraptor in speed and Attack...
|
How about we define it like this?
Any ability of a move that can be negated is considered secondary. With this definition, Mud Slap's accuracy lowering can be negated by Clear Body or Keen Eye, thus it is secondary. Overheat's Sp. Att lowering cannot be negated - not even by White Smoke or Clear Body, making it a primary effect. Anything with a chance, obviously, has a chance of not happening. This doesn't go for moves without power, of course. That becomes their primary effect. |
I wouldn't use it, I put strategy and luck over power. Thats the only way to go when facing Red!
|
ha we won't be facing red this gen around :P

Im excited for both Wooguru and Hihidaruma. |
I wonder if these two will be the only ones to have Encourage as their SA...

No secondary effects? That's a bit lame in my opinion. And it won't do much to pokemon with the Mold Breaker ability.

This ability has gotten the most talk out of all the new abilities I think even more than Illusion.

and technician boosts weak attacks by 50% but one person said a boost of 10% by encouragement would be broken |
Quote:
i remember someone saying it would be broken to raise fire punch from 112.5 power to 123.75 power but tbh id be more scared of 112.5 and a chance of being burned |
Well maybe the eagle has high speed(faster than staraptor) and attack but low defenses...
|
lets talk about earthquake spiral.
|
Thing is, we're DISCUSSING how the Encourage works.
What're we going to say for Earthquake Spiral? "derpy this ability are cooooo.........megukuruo gonna get overpowered!!!11". |

If it has a evo with high defenses and attack then it will be hard to take down... |
Maybe this Pokemon will get a crappy move-pool....
Like Entei, Voltorb, or Flareon. |
