I honestly like it. Its like fire storm and infestation except for ground types and is tactical. I think its great, might not see competitve use though.

[Cyberknight98]

But that's ok, not all moves have to be competitive! ^-^

[jaywad]

This seems like a move that walls can use like claydol [first mon to pop up in my head]. I actually really like it and think that it'd be a great idea!

[Cyberknight98]

Tagging Snaquaza, @snackismybae, and Galom for approval/feedback

[Galom]

While I don't see the point of this move, most gens introduce some moves that are competitively worthless, so it seems fine. I love the name, and the overall flavor seems fine.

Approved 1/2.

[Cyberknight98]

Snaquaza? @snackismybae?

Star Wars day was yesterday .-.

[herndonchad]

Today is the return of the fifth (return of the sith? Anyone? No? Ill see myself out)

[Cyberknight98]

I got you

[Cyberknight98]

Technically it's Revenge of the Fifth tho

[herndonchad]

Oh well. I guess i need to watch the movies again. It has been 10 ish years

[Cyberknight98]

(I totally forgot about this move and accidentally started fire bomb a while back. Galom had already approved it, @snaquaza can you look at it?)

[Cyberknight98]

I've already asked for fire bomb to be locked

[Snaquaza]

Cyberknight98, he only approved it 1/2 so this isn't done yet. I thought I commented to this, but I guess this attack is fine. Approved 2/2

[Cyberknight98]

Snaquaza, I meant Galom had already given half his approval <.> But, yay! My first approved thing!

[jaywad]

XD I just entered and saw that giant "Aproved" sign. Congrats @cyberknight !

[seitou]

I'm so confused. Isn't this a slight variation of Sand Tomb but without the DoT and with speed lower?... Galom and Snaquaza this and Sand Tomb are almost the same.

I already know this is wrong.
