I wonder why they made hold back exactly the same. Can't it have slight differences... how about Hold Back being a Special Attack version of False Swipe.
My DA account... I draw stuff sometimes!
Because Hold Back kind of implies that you're using part of your body to hit.
That being said, they could have had Hold Back be like, a Dark type move or a Fighting type move or anything that wasn't Normal.

Schezo Wegey confirmed for King
Hold Back IS different, it's literally a rarer version of False Swipe.
In all seriousness, I got nothing. It's weird it's like that. Maybe if it would've been more powerful, and/or maybe a different type. Maybe make it Special. Anything to make it NOT identical to an existing move.
You'll get a pass, Celebrate and Hold Hands.
Goddammit, Schezo... || *insert incredibly thirsty copypasta about Dr. Ratio*
I'm sorry Tien, but I must go all out.
I just want False Swipe clones in different Types.
All of them?
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else
I'd make a False Swipe clone that is of a type no mon is immune to, like Dark or Steel, and that's good enough.
My DA account... I draw stuff sometimes!
Yeah, same.
TBH, False Swipe does sound like it'd be a Dark type move anyway, but whatever.

It being a dark-type move will imply it's some sort of Cruel Mercy or something. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
Being able to use it on Ghost types would be nice, at least.

Is this the right thread for sharing Fakemon concepts? I've been working on one that I think could use some feedback.
Yeah, I doubt there's a dedicated fakemon thread.

I actually did that like twice on this very thread, I did seen someone doing it on this thread as well. But I haven't seen someone doing a Fakemon idea recently. So whatever.

I've got a few Fakemons, but I suck at naming them.
What would be a good name for a Water/Steel Barrel-Eye Fish
◊ Pokemon with some submarine-like elements in its design?

Commentary: Neurachnid is meant to be a mostly defensive pokemon, with great special defense and good defense and HP, but mediocre special attack and speed and nearly useless attack. Its moveset consists almost entirely of support and status-afflicting moves designed to gradually wear down the opponent rather than attacking them head on. With its signature ability Neurotoxin, Neurachnid has the unique role in doubles of being the only pokemon capable of inflicting Toxic poison on both opponents in a single move using Poison Gas. Alternatively, Neurachnid can also use poison thread to simultaneously inflict toxic poison and lower the speed of a single pokemon. Neurachnid also posesses an excellent defensive typing in Poison/Psychic, giving it a 4x resistance to Fighting, neutral resistances to Bug and Psychic, and 2x resistances to Poison, Grass, and Fairy. It also possesses additional coverage with Thunderbolt, which complements its STAB nicely. Finally, Neurachnid is one of the few pokemon to get access to Sticky Web, capable of further supporting the team.
Unfortunately, Neurachnid is also almost completely shut down by any Taunt user that manages to outspeed it, and is easily checked by bulky steel-types. Ferrothorn in particular manages to wall nearly anything that Neurachnid can throw at it.

If I were you, I would make its Special Defense 121 rather than 111. Araquanid seems to be more bulky than it on the special side, and it actually evolves slightly earlier.
Yeah, that's only a BST of 435.
You might want to improve on that, if just a bit.

The Fool
Hey, so, uh, I've gotten to a certain point in Sun's postgame and need some clarification.
Is there anything I'm supposed to do to find Nihilego in Wela Volcano Park? I've had like twenty encounters and it still hasn't shown up.
I sure said that!
Nope. It's just random.
Trans rights are human rights.
If its not there, it may be in the Digglet Tunnel.
As long as it's playing that intense music, just walking in the grass should make it appear.
Just make sure to lead with a Timid Abra with Synchronize if you can.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
The Fool
It figures it'd be a whole five minutes after I asked that the situation would be resolved.
My plan to leave a Timid Synchronize Abra in the front of the party worked out, too.
So, Buzzwole. Adamant is obvious, but what nature should I shoot for for the second? Impish?Jolly?
edited 8th Dec '16 9:49:27 PM by Pulse
I sure said that!
If you hear different music on the route, spray a repel and lead with a Pokemon leveled lower than 55.
Careful or Jolly
The Fool
I think I got Impish and Careful mixed up again. Oops.
Good thing it was before damage could be done.
I sure said that!
Agreed. Oh well.
Also hi Pulse. Long time, no see.
