Sniper Lens

[DinaIsha]

Name: Sniper Lens

Description: The user wears the Sniper's Lens on it eyes, which enables it to identify the opponent's weak spots. As a result, Critical Hits will do 2x damage instead of 1.5x (AKA Give the holder the Ability Sniper). Stacks with the Ability Sniper.

Fling: Does 50 damage. Has increased Critical Hit ratio.



We already have a couple of items that resemble Abilities like Overcoat-Safety Goggles, Iron Barbs-Rocky Helmet etc., so I thought this was a good addition. Pokémon like Honchkrow and Absol can use it to a great extent in conjunction with Super Luck. In fact, Super Luck + Sniper Lens + STAB Night Slash will hurt. So, if there's going to be a Dark Type Gym, this could come in handy to increase its difficulty.

This sounds fine to me, though it'll not be too useful, but could be fun either way with Focus Energy.

How will this work with Sniper? Multiplicative or not? If so, have fun with Sniper Energy Kingdra.

This item along with Super Luck will definitely hurt. The name kinda makes me feel that this item will work well with the Sniper ability, even though its the opposite.

"Does not stack with the Ability Sniper."

However, I had originally thought it could stack with Sniper (As suggested by @ace above, it is in fact a 'Sniper' Lens). Maybe a 3x boost (Good ol' Gen V). Would that be broken?

[DinaIsha]

I've decided that Sniper Lens can stack with Sniper. So, a Critical Hit from a Pokémon with Sniper holding a Sniper Lens will do 3x damage (Boosts the Critical Hit 100% instead of 50%).

It's still only +50% damage even if they make crits 3x, that's like a choice band but only when you crit

Well, this was already the case in Gen 5 anyway.

I like the idea behind this, would like to see this finished at some point.
