Matoka Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Since there is no physical ghost type move (OTHER THAN ASTONISH) and no special Dark Type move, literally none, how much would it shake up the meta probably? Banette would be better, as would Houndoom, and a few others, but would it make much difference for them? would they go up a tier or two? Link to comment
Noad Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Moving to Competition Alley to grab the attention of our comp players. :) SweeTforU, Arimanius, Nimali and 1 other 4 Link to comment
RysPicz Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Probably not as much as sneaky pebbles Link to comment
OrangeManiac Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Meta wouldn't shake up by much at all with those 2 moves. It's still quite an irrelevant point because those obviously wouldn't be implemented with other than all the gen4 moves and the whole metagame would look different so it's impossible to say how much did these two moves exactly affect. Neither of the Pokemon would go up by a tier, Doom would stay UU because it's an irrelevant mon in so many ways in OU... when likes of Zards don't get usage why Houndoom would. Banette is just a shit tier Mon in so many ways so one physical STAB wouldn't help it. It might get a single person use it in NU I guess. GBush 1 Link to comment
Asakano Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 It's basically like asking if they went down a tier when Banette lost Shadow Ball as a physical STAB and Houndoom lost Crunch as a special STAB. [spoiler]Can't remember if they did though, lel[/spoiler] Link to comment

[spoiler]Can't remember if they did though, lel[/spoiler] Can't be compared one bit because one was a strength based tier, one was usage based tier. In addition current NU has probably double the amount of Mon it had back in the day and UU started out with much more mons in usage based tiering too. Link to comment
xStarr Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 There is shadow punch but not many can learn Link to comment
Robofiend Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 They're not as important as focus blast, close combat, or zen headbutt. I guess it'd be nice to have a special dark move for NU but since we have so few ghosts to start with, shadow claw would have little effect. Link to comment
suigin Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 If you want a relevant move add U-Turn, now that'd make the game change and give some pokemon a necessary boost. Link to comment
