I like the idea of the elemental fangs. It gives some Pokemon with high attack a chance at using these moves to hit weaknesses in other Pokemon, and overall will make it more challenging for players. Anticipate seems like it should have low PP, otherwise it could use abused, I believe. Filter seems good for a baby Pokemon such as Manene/Mime Jr. to have because of its relative weakness in the Pokemon world.

Seems interesting, these elemental fangs in particular, they very well may just help hinder the distraught various people are feeling over the sudden metagame change. I'm taking a guess here, but I think they will be physical based, and powerful to boot! :p

i think the anticipate move should have went to an underdog pkmn instead of a legendary as if they dont have enough power already, every thing else seems pretty cool though

Well they now have elemental fangs, punches, and beams. I wouldn't be surprised if they made elemental kicks :p.

The fangs and Mime Jr's ability seem like a cool idea to me, and the rest is alright I guess.
 
They're trying too hard to make the metagame balanced =/ Seriously. Really, Anticipate? Wtf? It's not a bad attack idea, but really, they're amping up moves so that they can work in the new, Offensive metagame ._. They can only go so far before the system breaks under its own weight.

I'm on the fence about the Fangs. It's a rather unoriginal idea, but, if it weren't a D/P move, this would help a lot of old Pokémon.

BTW, Salamence is pretty much guaranteed to have the Fangs, seeing as it....has fangs lol. Dragon Claw, and the Fangs = sweep ON. EVERYTHING. As if I weren't worried enough before.

You don't know which of these moves are exclusive to which Pokemon, if any.

Exactly.Serebii just said what the attack does..I'm pretty sure that Wave Guiding Bomb is an exclusive Lucario Attack But Anticipate could be used by any Pokemon.

Why in the blazes of hell does Lucario know Bone Rush?

I guess there's more to him than meets the eye :D

Anticipate seems completely balanced to me, if it works as Serebii said. It might cause problems for Choice Banders, but Substitute stops it dead cold, it does nothing against status effects, Taunt may or may not prevent its usage, and a Pokemon using Swords Dance, Curse, Calm Mind, etc. can turn it into either a prediction game or a stalling war.

Elemental fangs should be a good idea and could help out a lot of UU Pokemon like Raticate, Arbok, or Seviper.

I think Filter should almost be requisite for baby Pokemon since otherwise they're completely worthless. Actually, though, it's kind of a cool ability anyway since it provides another reason to use Surf or Hydro Pump over their Ice, Fire, and Electric counterparts.

And Just Keep in Mind that Mr.Mime will eventually Have Filter.Cutting attacks in Half will give Mime a Chance to Standout More and not die in One or Two Physical Hits.

I am liking the filter abilities. I am guessing that a novelty for dorpion will be either elemental fangs and cross poison, or elemental fangs and poison fang. Anticipate seems like a first-strike counter or mirror coat.

It does indeed sound odd that Lucario will have Bone Rush. o_O

That was something I was wondering as well. They might pull a funny and not have it carry over.
