Croconaw's Type Construct Discussion

Sorry for not understanding, but how can it be a Ice type move?

 

If the Pokémon has control over heat, it can choose to take away heat from the surroundings, making it colder.
Maybe change the name to “Temperature Control”?

 

Temperature Control sounds better. 'Controlled' heat indicates fire for me. It could be an Ice type move when it hails, and a fire type move when sunny day is active.

 

What if the weather is clear? Then would it just be a Forged Type attack?

 

Forged or Normal type, I'd say.

 

Sounds good! And what about Tailwinds and Sandstorms and that stuff? Will it not affect it?

 

Tailwinds is flying obviously.
Rain is water, sandstorm is ground.
Maybe when it's dark (night), it can also be a dark type attack.
Misty Terrain would be fairy, Grassy Terrain would be grass, Psychic Terrain would be Psychic and Electric Terrain would be the electric type. So, I'd say this attack is affected by those attacks, I guess.

 

Sounds good! Then we should change the name, too. Weathervane?

 

Yeah, sounds good. But there's a problem, I guess.

 

What problem? Please tell me! I’ll try to fix it.

 

Simple, the problem is called Pokémon Logic. As a Example: It is possible to use sunny day, even if it's night. And a attack can't have 2 types, in this case Dark/Fire.

 

Only solution I have would be to give as a example the weather priority against the others, you know?

 

Then we should get rid of the dark thing, and the weather type used is he most recent one. It’ll be a pain to code. Luckily, this is fan made.

 

And what are with the terrain attacks? We'll have them to forget as well.

 

I think it's the best if it's only weather based.

 

Sure. We can remove the terrain attacks.

 

Flying Press is both Flying and Fighting. Though, in making a dual-typed attack, we'll be taking away what makes Flying Press special...

 

Yeah, we should probably leave Flying Press as the only dual-type attack.

 

Sry, didn't know that.

So, this is the attack?

Weathervane

Base Attack: 75?
Accuracy: 100?
'Special' Effect: High chance of getting a bad status condition (Burn, Frozen), depending on the weather?

Sunny: Fire-type move.
Hail: Ice-type move.
Rain: Water-type move.
Sandstorm: Ground-type move.
No special weather condition: Forged-type move.

 

Sounds good! How about Burn when Fire-type, Frozen when Ice-type, Sleep when Ground-type (sand in eyes) and Paralysis during Rain (thunder)?
