Movepool discussion 9/10

Admin Posts : 171 Join date : 2013-03-05 Age : 33

Tonight is going to be our first movepool discussion. For a reference of what Pokémon have already been completed go to the DT Pokémon wiki: RazzingDrop Wiki

The floor is open to the first team member to select our Pokémon to discuss. Please respect each other's opinions, and remember to keep an open mind.

Once a Pokémon is selected we will cover the entire evolutionary chain so be prepared for discussions.

These discussions include: level up moves, tm/hm, egg moves, tutoring, and possible stat ideas.

Let the floor now be open.

I'd like to start off the evening with #279 Voodoom.

I think that the Fighting/Dark combo really works for what he's supposed to represent. So let's make a killer moveset to show his nature.

Should be part ghost. It can take advange of curse

Here's my rough idea for the level up moves

Heart Scale- Revenge
Heart Scale- Night Slash
Start) Wrap
Start) Astonish
Start) Copycat
7 Pain Split
11 Spite
15 Grudge
19 Charge
20 Follow Me
25 Pin Missile
30 Faint Attack
35 Close Combat
40 Acupressure
45 Aura Sphere
50 Substitute
55 Beat Up

Would Curse be 100% nessicary? I think it works with the theme very nicely, but does that out way the usefulness of the typing?

Varz: If we did make it part Ghost would you rather it be Fighting/Ghost or Ghost/Dark?

Genin Posts : 91 Join date : 2013-03-06

Fighting/Ghost would kick some Normal-Type ass, but I think it's typing is ok as it is...

Admin Posts : 171 Join date : 2013-03-05 Age : 33

Don't forget we have mastery moves at our disposal. So we could always mimic Curse in a proxy move.

I think the question should be really; which type combo goes best with the theme: Fighting/Dark, or the others?

Admin Posts : 171 Join date : 2013-03-05 Age : 33

To stick to the theme, what about Perish Song or Memento?

Subject: Re: Movepool discussion 9/10 Tue Sep 10, 2013 11:00 pm

Was thinking Ghost/Dark. But, Ghost fighting would make a nice combination

Subject: Re: Movepool discussion 9/10 Tue Sep 10, 2013 11:01 pm

Memento would be nice

Admin Posts : 171 Join date : 2013-03-05 Age : 33

Ok how about we put it to a vote? There's 3 of us so hopefully we can come to a majority vote.

Fighting/Ghost
Ghost/Dark
Fighting/Dark

Genin Posts : 91 Join date : 2013-03-06

I would say Fighting/Dark. I think it has more versatility out of it.

Subject: Re: Movepool discussion 9/10 Tue Sep 10, 2013 11:05 pm

Fighting/Ghost, because the typing has never been tested before. And we can all say that we have done the approach

Admin Posts : 171 Join date : 2013-03-05 Age : 33

If we were doing competitive a Fighting type to give resistances to Rock-type would be nice lol

Subject: Re: Movepool discussion 9/10 Tue Sep 10, 2013 11:09 pm

plus a fighting type would not be affected by another fighting-type thanks to the ghost-type

Admin Posts : 171 Join date : 2013-03-05 Age : 33

I'm going to go with Fighting/Dark. It seems more true to the voodoo doll concept as a Dark-type

Admin Posts : 171 Join date : 2013-03-05 Age : 33

What we have so far

Name: Voodoom
Type: Fighting/Dark
Evolutions: None
Abilities (tentative): Volt Absorb/Lightningrod

Genin Posts : 91 Join date : 2013-03-06

What about Cursed Body or Cacophony?

Subject: Re: Movepool discussion 9/10 Tue Sep 10, 2013 11:17 pm

What would you guys think of the Mummy ability for Voodoom?

Subject: Re: Movepool discussion 9/10 Tue Sep 10, 2013 11:20 pm

What would Cacophony do?

Admin Posts : 171 Join date : 2013-03-05 Age : 33

Maybe Mummy, or Cursed Body. I don't really see the point in Cacophony. Insomnia?

Cacophony let's it avoid sound based moves like Uproar, Howl, or Sing.

Subject: Re: Movepool discussion 9/10 Tue Sep 10, 2013 11:22 pm

Oh, ok.

Subject: Re: Movepool discussion 9/10 Tue Sep 10, 2013 11:23 pm

I can see both Mummy and Curse Body working for it
