"The user faints itself to trap and continuously damage the opponent."
- Distribution: Lake Pixies, Gardevoir, Lati@s
- This move is in the same vein of Healing Wish etc, except it's different. When a Pokemon faints from using Prayer, it will immediately trap the said Pokemon and continuously be damaged by 6.25% and one of its stats will drop by one stage every turn for three turns. Here's how it works:
Turn 1: Uxie uses Stealth Rock. Scrafty uses Crunch, it's super effective! (Scrafty is at full health)
Turn 2: Uxie uses Prayer, Uxie fainted! Scraggy uses Crunch, but there was no target... Scrafty is hurt by Uxie's Prayer! Scrafty's Special Attack Fell! (93.75%, -1 SAtk)
Turn 3: Heracross is sent out! Heracross uses Substitute. Scrafty uses Zen Headbutt! Heracross's Substitute faded. Scrafty is hurt by Uxie's Prayer! Scarfty's Speed Fell! (87.5%, -1 SAtk, -1 Spe)
Turn 4: Heracross is withdrawn, Scizor is sent out! Scrafty uses Zen Headbutt! It was not very effective... Scarfty is hurt by Uxie's Prayer! Scrafty's Attack Fell! (81.25%, -1 SAtk, -1 Spe, -1 Atk). Uxie's Prayer Ended!
And to go with it, a similar in vein ability...
My Prayer
"When below one-eighth of the total HP, the Pokemon will faint immediately. The next Pokemon will receive a power boost."
- A Torrent-esque move, except it's slightly different. Upon hitting below 12.5%, the Pokemon immediately faints. The Pokemon coming in will receive a +1 attack and special attack boost if the said Pokemon faints from the ability.
