Ability Guide

[For Lack of a Better Name]

A guide to what some abilities do in this RP, as their effects aren't such an obvious translation.

If you're confused about what an ability does, ask here.

Although it's a move and not an ability, I was wondering how the move pursuit would work in this rpg. Perhaps it doubles the strength of the move if used on a fleeing pokemon, since pokemon can't exactly be switched out?

[For Lack of a Better Name]

I think that would work.

I'm also curious about a move. How would Roar work since it ends battles

[For Lack of a Better Name]

It'd probably send the opposing pokemon off then- even a player's own characters, although I usually wouldn't have a dungeon pokemon know that move.

Thanks for the help

Im wondering, can I use the ability contrary? It would lead to a lot of confusing situations in which group-effects become not-so-friendly and lead to a lot of odd situations in which my charactor's saying things like: "Quick, (poison-type here), Poison me!"

I use contrary, I just use it as all stat lower moves (Regardless who or what uses them) Raises my stats, and all stat raising moves (Again regardless who uses them )Lowers my stats.

[canora]

OK good, then no one will report me for actually becoming stronger when they use a move with weakened. Yay! but if someone uses a group focused or enlightened ability, just for the roleplay, can I be hopelessly confused?

I don't see why not
