Poll's up
|
I voted for Fighting and Poison as secondary typings. As much sense as Water makes, I don't know if it could ever really make use of Aqua Jet enough as STAB. At least with Poison we could do a Poison type Pixilate which would make sense.

Confirming that we aren't giving new moves.
|
Ice/Poison it is.
So what ability are we going for? |
Merciless could work.
Can we suggest new abilities? Acid Snow: Upon being effected by a fire type move(being hit by a fire move/status or impacted by sunny day), acid snow melts and releases harsh toxins to the battle field inflicting poison statuses on all other pokemon. [ability only activates once per battle] Quote:
|
So, considering Beartic's lack of Poison moves, obviously we need a Poison-typed Pixielate or something I'd say. But how about instead of increasing the power of moves affected by the ability, we give them a good chance of poisoning the target?
|
So something like poison touch? I'm not sure, i think i prefer a poison type pixielate tbh but I wouldn't mind the other ability
|
Acid Snow is way too convoluted as a Pokemon ability IMO. Fun yes, but not practical at all. I'd much prefer a Poison type Pixilate so that it can make use of it's powerful Return as a STAB.

I like that idea
|
Oh, yeah. This sounds good actually! I agree with this abillity then!
|
What should we call it?
I like the name Contaminate |
Contaminate is by far the best name
|
Acidify is another option. I can't think of any good alternatives to those two. I like Contaminate the most.
Maybe apply the 30% poison effect to all contact moves that it uses. Same as Poison Touch. That could be too complicated, though. Acid Snow sounds like a great idea, but it seems more fitting for a defensive Pokemon. I personally don't think it suits Beartic well. |

I feel like the Ability was locked in when Ice/Poison was chosen as the typing, given that Beartic does not learn any Poison-type moves, it's really hard to think of something else that works.
The only different thing I can think of is something like "Corrosive Touch" or something, which would be like Poison-Types, except maybe a higher Poison chance and you can poison Poison- and Steel-types, which would help vs walls. Something else that comes to mind would be something similar to Poison-type Aerilate, but making (certain) moves Ice/Poison (similar to Flying Press). |
What about "poison touch" mechanic that only activates in winter conditions?
Flu Season: When hail effect is in play, poison types have a 30% of inflicting poison status upon making contact. Essentially the nerf is that you have to setup hail to get the ability to activate, and obviously the opponent can get rid of hail condition or taunt. Also, you cannot hold icy rock with the mega stone. Though, obviously it would be a beast |

Something like "poison is inflicted on any opposing non-Poison/Steel Pokemon that are out in the field when both hail and Flu Season are active" would be more useful. It's not a bad ability, but it's restricted to hail. We'd have to decide whether something like this would be useful enough to put hail on the map as a playstyle all by itself.
|
I like all options presented, but I think having the most power would be the best, aka just a Poison Pixilate. We have to remember that because this is a mega, it wont be able to hold an item so unless we just massively boost it's attack, it won't be doing a ridiculous amount of damage. We'll have to put some stat boosts in it's speed and most likely bulk to even make it remotely viable as well.

252+ Atk Beartic Icicle Crash vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 102-120 (30.6 - 36%) +2 252+ Atk Beartic Icicle Crash vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 202-238 (60.6 - 71.4%) ^ 160 Base Attack and Adamant, but Jolly will probably be better It's weak to Stealth Rock and 5 types. We can keep it slow too, like a little under Tapu Lele. However, being slow with the poison chance might be less viable than being reasonably fast (think Mega Pinsir) with no poison chance. |
