[CENTRE] Fresh Moves
Hacks & Fangames[/CENTRE]

Sometimes we get an idea, write it down and the next time we look at it, all we can see is masterwork as if an actual developer was involved.

This is a Thread for Pokemon Moves we wrote down which could as well have been mistaken for real official pokemon moves when looked through.

Feel free to copy these into your fangames, rom-hacks and alike.

These Moves ought to be:

• 
  Fair
  • Filling a missing spot
  • Thematic

—'Slumber'—

Spoiler:

[CENTRE]"Slumber"[/CENTRE]

—————
Learnt by: Any pokemon who can learn 'Rest'.

-More info on Slumber-

Spoiler:

Slumber ignores one status effect from preventing its use.

On use, removes one active condition of the frozen, paralyzed, poisoned and confusion effects at the end of the round from self (((if multiple conditions are applied))).

Slumber applies the 'sleep' condition for this and next round to self.
Heals 33.33% of HP now, and half that (16.67%) at the end of this and next round. Gains damage resistance until end of next round (DR value equal to the healing-weakness which usage causes). Slumber can be triggered again for up to 2 small active 'healing'-stacks (=max +33% at end of round), can be triggered while sleeping or slumbering, paralyzed or frozen. If triggered while asleep, the Pokemon wakes up next round.

Note:
A pokemon with the ability;
'Early Bird' sleeps a round less, waking up on the round after usage.
The end-of-round-healing & damage-reduction endures despite awakening.

A pokemon with the ability;
'Vital Spirit' does not fall asleep, therefor does not remove any conditions, but gains the 33% + 16% x2 rounds healing, and the damage reduction endures despite awakening.

The main difference from the move 'rest' is the lack of full-restore; instead limited heal with Slumber's ongoing heal occurring by the end of the round rather than immediately.

Damaging conditions occur after the ongoing healing but before the removal of conditions.
Burn is also not included to be removed. - cause I find no proof of it to make sense.

The total heal is slightly dependable on reusing slumber: (33%x2+4x16%=133% ||
33%+16%x2= 67%.
The move 'Sleep talk' can actually assist the healing if triggering 'slumber' unlike how 'rest' works.

Due to slumber's nature, a small boost to endurance was added (noted on second round) completely unlike using rest.
Slumber does count as a healing move, and certain/all moves will trigger added damage vs it for being a healing move.
The Sleep condition still makes you vulnerable against the moves dream eater & nightmare & Smelling Salt. Including Darkrai's nightmarish ability still functions.

A flaw/benefit of slumber is the number of rounds the pokemon is healing &/ asleep, endurance & max regeneration over time.

Unlike the moves: Recover or Synthesis, you fall asleep & do not obtain as much instant heal and you are locked into healing for potentially two rounds;
- Making you vulnerable against 'Taunt'.

Pokemon such as Snorlax will fear 'Burn'.
Learnt by: Pokemon who can learn 'Rest', All Ghost Types, & all Legendaries.
I recommend a half-Sleeping Guru/Meditation master to be a Move Tutor of 'Slumber'.

Effect:

'Nightmare' is a ghost type move, inflicting 1/4 of asleep pokemon's Max health at end of rounds.

"Grounded" Pokémon are simply those that are not "raised". Raised Pokémon are any Flying types or those under the effects of Levitate, Magnet Rise or Telekinesis. Full details in glossary.

Haunted Terrain is a "terrain" condition and can coexist at the same time as weather conditions, but not other terrain conditions.
