Body Armor (Name not Final)

[/CodedGryph/]

Basic Explanation: Provides Immunity to Punch moves

Effect: provides to immunity to the following moves:
Bullet Punch, Comet Punch, Dizzy Punch, Drain Punch, Dynamic Punch, Fire Punch, Focus Punch, Hammer Arm, Ice Punch, Mach Punch, Mega Punch, Meteor Mash, Power Up Punch, Shadow Punch, Sky Uppercut, Thunderpunch.

Idea inspiration: Something to the sort of Bulletproof but for Punch moves.

Pokemon apt to it: I was thinking of a pokemon with decent Physical defense, but having a weakness to dark moves (i.e. knock off) so balance could be achieved.

Interesting Concept, but I'd like to see some examples. I'm thinking of Armaldo and Skarmory from first glance and would like to hear your opinion.

Yeah those seem like good ideas. My thought for it was some sort of a more artificial or humanoid pokemon.

I'd say to add it onto Pokemon with Weak Armor and Battle Armor or just Pokemon that seem like they could have it (Genesect?).

also the Ability could be "Punching Bag"

I feel it doesn't make sense to be completely immune, making them inflict like half the damage could be cool.

Howerver, I want you to explain why this effect would be good in general, we've gotten a lot of abilities like this, so we can't accept all. What makes this stand out?

hm.... I basically wanted to make some sort of Bulletproof variant, as I've tried to state before. If it were to be half damage like you said, It'd just be some downgraded fur coat, but the idea does seem nice.

Tagging Snaquaza to lock thread since I had an idea for a new ability.
