New Moves/Abilities Speculation

    New generations always mean new moves and abilities get added to the already huge roster, and there's always going to be new ideas thought of when making them.

    So, what new moves and/or abilities are you hoping for in the new games?
     
    I'd really like to see some more Fairy moves, more physical Fairy moves in particular. I believe the only one we have is Play Rough and it is just an average attack with imperfect accuracy so it's not the best. I'd like to see maybe 2-4 more added :)

    As for abilities, I'd love to see a Special Attack version of Moxie and perhaps more -ate abilities. I think both have a decent chance of happening, especially the latter.
     
    I have a few ideas for abilities in mind. I'd like to see a counterpart to Intimidate that lowers special attack instead of attack. It would also be cool to see a counterpart of Huge / Pure Power that boosts special attack. An ability that brings heavy fog to the battlefield would be interesting as well.

    As far as moves go, we could use a few more special rock and ground type moves. I agree with Chase on having more physically based fairy typed moves, because Play Rough alone is not gonna cut it.
     
    Since I'd been waiting for this, and this seems like the right time, I hope they add a new weather condition that would make the playing field Night. This should increase the damage of Dark, Ghost and Fairy-type moves while weakening Fire, Grass and Psychic-type moves. It would especially fit in well with our current theme seemingly looking like it will be astrology.

    Reading this I thought about the field moves introduced in XY. I think it's possible we'll see one like this being added. Maybe bug can go up too?
     
    Some more fairy type moves really there needs to be more especially cause you know all dedenne can learn is playrough while it has a very weak atk stat and a high spatk so ya we need more of those in general. As for Abilities i cant really say although id like to see some that lower the opponents defense upon sending it out or a counterpart to moxie where it raises the spatk.
     
    Things not like Freeze Dry. I mean, who sends out a Water-type against an Ice-type?

    I want more priority moves though. Priority fairy-type attack is bae.
     
    I really like Chase's ideas, a variant of Moxie that raises Sp. Attack would be nice to see. Plus, definitely more physical Fairy-type moves, and please give Dedenne a special-based Fairy attack because it needs one desperately.
     
    For moves, Hidden Power Fairy and physical Fairy moves that don't miss when you need them to.

    I'd also love to see more abilities like Pixilate and Aerilate.

    I agree, while the Pixilate/Aerilate/Refrigerate trio is strong, I'd love to see more variants of those abilities. The downside is they'll most likely be given as Hidden Abilities or as a Mega ability (Amaura's line is the exception at the moment).
