* AwesomeButImpractical: The leader of the cyberspace trio, Gigasvyre. Sure, it has 160 in both special stats, one of the best offensive types in the game, can Mega Evolve, and can use both Digital Overdrive and Viral Overdrive, the signature moves of the other legendaries. However, while both overdrives have 120 power, they only have 85 accuracy and 5 PP, meaning Gigasvyre can't use them much, and most of Gigasvyre's other moves have high base power but 5 PP. Ultirus, on the other hand, has Ransomware[[note]]80 power, 95 accuracy, 15 PP[[/note]] and Psychic[[note]]90 power, 100 accuracy, 10 PP[[/note]] as its best STABS, and while they are weaker than the overdrives, Ultirus can make up for this with Nasty Plot. While Gigasvyre has a BST of 672 as opposed to Ultirus's 606, most of the difference comes from Gigasvyre's higher Attack stat[[note]]78, less than half of its special attack, so running physical moves on Gigasvyre isn't viable[[/note]] and special defense, and Ultirus is actually faster, so Ultirus's better movepool makes up for Gigasvyre's slightly better stats. You might want to give Gigasvyre the Techno Ray TM to help against the Magic-type gym, but Techno Ray also has bad accuracy and 5 PP, and Gigasvyre doesn't even get STAB on it, so Datagon (who is immune to Magic) is a better choice due to Dragon Pulse having enough PP to last you through the long gym.

* BizarroElements: While some of the new types are rather straightforward, such as [[GreenThumb Wood]], [[MagmaMan Magma]], [[BlowYouAway Wind]], [[LightEmUp Light]], and [[MakeSomeNoise Sound]], others are material-based (such as Paper, Rubber, Plastic, and Fabric), similar to already existing types (such as Magic being similar to Psychic, and Nuclear being similar to Poison), or just downright weird (such as Paint, Food, Grease, Ogre, and perhaps most strange of all, ''Meme'').

The same page link issue as the previous edit: Make Me Wanna Shout updated to Make Some Noise.


* MakeMeWannaShout: As is the case in most fanons, the Sound-type appears. Moves that were Normal-type originally (such as Sing, Relic Song, Roar, and Echoed Voice) become this type, and Pokemon such as the Whismur line, the Jigglypuff line, Chatot, Noibat and Noivern, and Chimecho) gain the Sound-type.

* BeeAfraid: Vespiguard (Bug/Fight) is a custom evolution for male Combee. Vespiguard has 102 base ATK and 108 base SPD, has the Guts ability and has the custom move Hivemind (Bug-type version of Outrage). Give a Life Orb to the bee and let the slaughter begin.

* SoftLock: It may happen during the postgame chapter [[spoiler:on the dark side of the Moon]], when you battle [[spoiler:the legs of Humanity]] if you don't have a Pokémon with Surf in your party. You cannot backtrack to a Pokémon Center and you cannot suicide as there aren't any wild encounters on the map.

Added more story tropes


* {{Cyberspace}}: Accessible in Cybergate City after beating the 7th gym. Many different things you can find online manifest themselves as trainers in there, and it's where [[OlympusMons Datagon, Ultirus, and Gigasvyre]] are found. The Juvites created it so they could find Datagon and Ultirus, but Gigasvyre ended up in the hands of Zaydolf.



* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: The game has a Zombie type. There's also a place called [[Creator/GeorgeARomero Romero City]] which is full of zombies during the night, at least until you beat the gym leader, who gives the zombies a proper burial.



* WeakToMagic: Poison, Fire, Magma, Ghost, Chaos, Cosmic, and Ogre are all weak to Magic-type moves. Some Pokemon that are especially weak to magic include Chestburste (Poison/Cosmic), Nobunaga (Chaos/Fire), Zodiac Unown (Cosmic/Magma), the Gengar line (all of them are Ghost/Poison), and the Chandelure line (all of them are Fire/Ghost).

* {{Wendigo}}: Gowen and his tribe became Wendigoes after being exiled from their village. Gowen and his tribe were transformed by the Elder Things because the Arctic story is a wendigo story combined with Literature/AtTheMountainsOfMadness.

Added some tropes about the story

Added DiffLines:

* CosmicHorrorStory: The game's second half. The antagonist is a textbook EldritchAbomination whose power is beyond human comprehension, and most plot points revolve around his followers opening a path into the world for him to destroy. Many Pokemon (like the Eldones and Sloggoths in the Arctic) also take direct inspiration from Lovecraft's stories.


Added DiffLines:

* DiscOneFinalDungeon:
** The Purification Camp. It's where you finally confront Zaydolf, who you've known since the game started, and you'd expect the story to be concluded once Team Wack disbands and the Juvites go free. Right before the purification camp, you also receive [[InfinityMinusOneSword Infinity -1 Swords]] in the form of the mega stone for your starter and the legendaries Datagon and Ultirus. There's even a hallway of self-reflection right before you fight Zaydolf. But after defeating him, Zaydolf reveals that he was controlled by [[TheManBehindTheMan HIM]], who takes over as the antagonist during the postgame.
** The postgame itself has a Disc-One Final Dungeon in the form of the sun. It's logically the last place in the solar system you'd visit, it's a MarathonLevel when compared to the Moon and Mars, and it's when the last members of your team should be hitting [[AbsurdlyLowLevelCap level 100]]. You also have to fight a total of 3 bosses there, the last one being a ClimaxBoss (as the solar system's fate is actually at stake, as opposed to the last 3 areas which were about previous people who had followed HIM). After completing the sun, you can get back on the ship and get to HIS world... wait, what's that mysterious being doing on our ship? And where did Anne and Zaydolf go?


Added DiffLines:

* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Corrupt Orb, a held item which gives an omniboost every turn. Enemy trainers have been using it since the Purification Camp, but the player can only obtain it after [[spoiler: defeating the SuperBoss HIM Rush, itself only available after beating the final boss. Even then, it costs 999,999 Pokedollars. If you bought the Wack Stone to permanently mega evolve your starter, the Corrupt Orb also enables it to mega evolve even further into its Corrupt Form.]]
** The Wack Orb, which is given to you after battling [[spoiler: Professor Not Oak]], but to do this, you need to catch ''2000'' species of Pokemon. [[spoiler: Like the Corrupt Orb, it allows your mega evolved starter to evolve into its Wack Form.]]
** In terms of Pokemon, [[spoiler:Regiweather]] and the [[spoiler:HIM forms]] count. The former is a [[InfinityPlusOneElement Wack-type]] who is obtainable in the Regi Isles after [[spoiler:beating the final boss]]. The latter have incredibly high stats, with most of them having maxed out defenses. [[spoiler: They are obtainable in their respective worlds after beating the HIM rush.]]


Added DiffLines:

* LovecraftLite: While the game's second half is a CosmicHorrorStory and many people have lost hope trying to stop [[BigBad HIM]], there's still hope for you. You are able to defeat most of HIS minions, on the occasion that you fail, a [[BigGood legendary Pokemon]] helps you out, and HE even struggles sometimes to manifest himself in the world due to your actions. You also [[spoiler:end up defeating HIM in the end.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheManBehindTheMan: After completing the [[DiscOneFinalDungeon Purification Camp]], it's revealed that both Zaydolf and the Juvite leaders [[spoiler:were possessed by HIM, and the rest of the game has you fight minions of HIM who fell down the same path as Zaydolf.]]

* WeaksauceWeakness: Due to the various new types and type combinations being added, as well as the nature of some attacks, powerful Pokemon can find themselves taking massive damage from something downright pitiful.
** Normal-type moves and Rock-type moves are super-effective against Magic and Chaos. This means that Goatkun (a powerful goat demon) can be decimated by ''Tackle'' or ''having a rock thrown at it''[[note]]Goatkun is Magic/Chaos type, Tackle is a Normal-type move with unimpressive base power and no additional side effects. Rock Throw is in the same boat as Tackle in terms of BP and (lack of side effects). Regardless, both Tackle and Rock Throw will do the equivalent of ''200'' damage, not including STAB, due to the 4x effectiveness of the attacks[[/note]].
** Food-type moves are super-effective against Chaos and Divine Pokémon. Lunar Guardian, a Divine/Chaos type cosmic monstrosity from beyond the veil of time and space, will take extreme damage from ''being sprayed with soy sauce or icing''[[note]]Soy Splash and Icing Spray are Food-type moves with 90 and 60 BP, respectively[[/note]].

Moves such as Whirlwind and Razor Wind have been converted from Normal-type to this type, and Tornadus' type is now Wind/Flying instead of just Flying.
