New moves from Sun and Moon(incomplete, working progress, format's messed up)
With the introduction of sun and moon, the metagame will change massively. I already had a topic of the new pokemon, and in this one I will talk about the moves. To see them all, it's here. http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/attacks.shtml
I'm just going to talk about the one that I think are going to be useful
Move Type Category PP BP Acc Secondary affect Comment
Accelerock rock physical 20 40 100 Usually go first Only learned by Lycanroc, which gets good
attack and should make good use of this move.
Can be useful against a mega pinsir or revenge
killing a mega pinsir, and some other stuff
Anchor Shot Steel Physical 20 80 100 Traps the opponent It can only be learned by dhelmise, and
anchor shot is his best physical steel type
move. Dhelmise is not a steel type but it does
get steelworker which makes its steel moves
as power as its STAB. Trapping the opponent
is also nice. Maybe heatran switching in and
you used anchor shot just in case. You can
then earthquake the heatran away. It can't
have air balloon because you anchor shot it
and he can't double switch because it's trapped.
Aurora Veil ice status 20 -- -- Halves the damage for 5 turns in hail
Mainly for alola ninetails, it has snow warning and it can set up this, which is pre much reflect+light screen
Baneful Bunker poison status 10 -- -- Protects. If the opponent makes contact then it poisons the opponent
Better version of protect, extremely annoying. Can only be learned by the new annoying shisct, toxepex.
Burn Up fire special 5 130 100 User loses fire typing
This move itself is pretty OP. Fortunatly only arcanine, the cydaquill line, and moltres can learn it. Typhlosion and moltres will make good use of it. And losing fire typing will leave them to have better defensive typing, but at the same time losing the stab. The pp is bad so try not to spam it too much. I'd expect these pokemon to fire burn up then switch out constantly.
Clanging Scales dragon special 5 110 100 Defense drop by one stage after this
only learned by komo-o. It's a useful special attack, might replace draco meteor on komo-o.
Darkest Lariat dark phyiscal 10 85 100 ignores the opponent's stat change
only learned by incinroar, ignoring stat change can be useful to beat stuff that uses things like bulk up and iron defense. 85 bp is not bad, better than crunch
First Impression bug physical 10 90 100 only works first turn, usually move first
only learned by gollispod, useful for revenge killing stuff. The thing about this one is the opponent doesn't have to be only a little bit health left to be revenge killed by this. This pokemon might need to switch out a lot.
Ice Hammer ice physical 10 100 90 lowers speed by 1 stage after firing
basically ice type hammer arm. only learned by Crabominable, basically its ice type stab. It doesn't care much about the speed drop because it's already very slow and is likely to switch out or just die after firing this.
Liquidation water physical 10 85 100 20% chance to lower the target's Defense by 1
a better waterfall. Stab move for aranaquid, caracosta in low tier and gollispod
Lunge bug physical 15 80 100 lowers the opponent's defense
a better x-scissor... stab choice for aranaquid, buzzwole, and physical pheromosa
Moongeist Beam ghost special 5 100 100 ignores opponent's ability
lunala's stab. Not sure how the ability part is going to play out. pretty useful against lugia i guess
Pollen Puff bug special 15 90 100 if target is an ally, heals 50%
only learned by rirombee, can be useful in doubles i guess
Power Trip dark physical 10 20 100 The user boasts its strength and attacks the target. The more the user's stats are raised, the greater the move's power.
physical, dark stored power. Learned by krookodile and pangoro's evolution line and mankey. Moxie+Power trip spam :^) by krookdile
Psychic Fangs psychic physical 10 85 100 destroys light screen&reflect
learned by bruxish, sharpedo line and stoutland line, a better zen headbutt really. Bruxish does have strong jaw to boost the psychic fang. Sharpedo also likes hitting some fighting type with it.
Shadow Bone ghost physical 10 85 100 20% to lower target's defense
a better shadow claw, only learned by alolan marowak
Shore Up ground status 10 -- -- The user regains up to half of its max HP. It restores more HP in a sandstorm.
palossand's recovery
Smart Strike steel physical 10 70 -- Never miss
only here because kartana can't learn iron head
Spirit Shackle ghost physical 10 80 100 Traps opponent
physical ghost stab for decidye. Only learned by decidye
Sunsteel Strike steel physucal 5 100 100 ignores opponent ability
solgeleo's steel stab.after z-move splash boosting attack stat this move will be op because unaware wont stop it because it ignores ability not sure how ability will play out. i guess useful against bewear if you ever find one in uber
