The purpose of this move is to act like a filler for psychic type evolutions and for a third slot in the physical psychic moves

[Snaquaza]

Cerebral Slap?

Otherwise the move seems fine.

[jaywad]

That's a pretty good name

EDIT: Changed name from Psy Slap to Cerebral Slap

[Ace]

Mentality Strike?

Edit: Nvm, Cerebral Slap is fine.

[jaywad]

Ace that would seem like a move name that's tougher than a base of 40 power. 

[jaywad]

Ok! Added some Pokemon who can learn this. Ace Snaquaza Galom any thoughts?

[Ace]

Looks pretty fine to me, can't really fault it. Approved 1/2.

[jaywad]

Thanks Ace ! Means alot

[jaywad]

Galom @snaquaza what are your thoughts on this?

[Ace]

It's @ admin to tag Snaquaza.

[jaywad]

XD wow I've known that and I still made this mistake. Well anyways Snaquaza what do u think?

[Galom]

This move seems okay to me I guess? In the same vein though, it would see little-to-no use both on in-game and competitive teams due to low base power and bad secondary effect.

[Snaquaza]

Approved 2/2

The idea is that it's a physical psychic starting move lol. Not exactly the idea to be good.

[jaywad]

Thx alot Snaquaza

[jaywad]

EDIT:
Giving this to Grippa and Greaper if they get accepted since they're hand-shaped Fakemon and it'd suit them.

Short Description

SPOILER: Click to show

40% chance to lower the target's Defense by 1one stage.

GP 1/1 for both

[Ruby]

If you would look at moves that lower a stage such as Growl or Tail Whip, in the Short Description, '1' is used instead of one stage. One is never used in a description though.
Do /dt Growl
/dt Tail Whip
/dt Howl
/dt Ancient Power
