Official New Move/Attack/Ability Ideas Thread

[Geodude]

Some of these have been posted in the Gameplay thread, but I felt this was worthy enough for its own sticky. Plus it's fun to make up moves and stuff.

One request: Keep them realistic. The idea of this thread is for moves/abilities that we might actually see in the games, not for intentionally ridiculous ones.

To start, an idea I've had for some time, and I'm sure I've posted before, about a move and ability that go together:

Move: Darkness
Type: Dark
Power: n/a
PP: 5
Summons pitch-black darkness for 5 turns. Cancels effects of Sunny Day, but not other weather moves. Power of Dark- and Ghost-type attacks increases 1.5x during darkness.

Ability: Dark-Skinned
Evasion increases during Darkness. (Just like Sand Veil and Sandstorm.)

And another idea, for a "modern" version of Ancientpower:

Move: Modern Power
Type: Steel
Power: 60
PP: 5
effect: 10% chance to raise all stats.
A ball of digital energy is hurled at the opponent. 10% chance of raising all user's stats due to the quick buildup of digital energy.

Dragon Blast
PP: 5
Power: 120
effect: Unleashes a mighty flame onto the enemy. 10% chance of burning

Ability: Gravity
Effect: Flying and pokemon with levitate can now be hit with ground moves.

Type: Poison
Power: N/A
PP: 5

Move: Vine Toss
Type: Grass
Power: 75
PP: 15
Accuracy: 100%
Uses Vines to hurl the foe around and around. May cause confusion (some low % like 10%, this would put it on level with Brick Break as far as its power and ability)

Move: ESP
Type: Psychic
Power: N/A
PP: 10
Accuracy: 100%
Uses inate psychic ability to block attacks. (You choose one of your opponent's four moves, if you guess correctly they will not be able to use that move for that turn, sorta like if you had used Disable vs your opponent prior to them attacking with the disabled move)
