Im debating whether or not I should give this to non-poison types like infernape and a few other pokemon that learn gunk shot as poison type doesnt have the best coverage and this move would be used as a fairy breaker move on most pokes and it would be really good move in the higher tiers where the amount of usage of fairies are higher. I wanted feedback before I did this.

[Psych]

I wouldn't give this to other pokemon like Infernape, it seems like strictly Poison move from what you describe it as. That being said, this move will have a LOT of users from the Poison type, as you can make an argument for almost all of them.

I like the move, and I like the sudden rush of Poison type moves If we get mine and your's approved, the Poison type is looking more viable already.

[Saburo]

Might be tad overpowered actually, even if it was given strictly to poison types. But, we do need better poison type moves. The only suggestion I would make is maybe lowering the effect to reducing their special attack by 1 or if you want to put an accuracy on it, like has a 40% or 50% to lower their special attack by 2.

I like the name a lot actually, but it may be a bit long. I don't think any Pokemon move has more than four syllables, but don't quote me on that. Just letting you know, i love the name.

I feel like the name "Radiation Surge" may be a bit wordy, but can be edited if needed. As this move is a Poison-type copy of Leaf Storm, no Pokemon other than select Poison-types should get it, but other than that it seems like an interesting concept.

[Leafeon]

I completely forgot that I had a move running and I will get mack to my other projects soon
Discussion:what name should should I give this move as radiation surge seems too long and just an overall mouthfull.
Venom stream
Toxic burst
my naming skills are bad help me ;-;

Bump

I kinda like the idea of a name change. A move like 'Radiation Surge' makes it seem only radiation-themed Pokemon could learn it, or at least only Pokemon linked to it.
I recommend starting a poll for it if anything.

[Cyberknight98]

Honestly, I kinda like Radiation Surge... I suppose Toxic Surge or one of your suggestions would work as well. Tagging Galom and Snaquaza to see this.

From what I remember, "Enchanting Smooch" was too long a name by a fair way in terms of actually having it fit in the boxes in the game so "Radiation Surge" is probably in the same boat. Combining your other ideas into "Venom Burst" sounds quite nice, but its worth finding as many options as you can and making a poll to see what everyone thinks. Another thing to consider is how the name leads to accessibility. The "radioactive" thing worked quite nicely to justify giving it to a more select group of poison types, whereas "Venom Burst" seems rather general and feels like something that could fit on most poison types. Maybe for a "venom" name you could steal the list of Pokemon that learn Venom Drench to cut down on the numbers? (Adaptability Draco Meteor/"Venom Burst" Dragalge o.O)
It's a good idea though, and I feel maybe we need something special poison outside of the extremely similar sludgebomb and sludgewave. I guess we got belch but that was way too situational a move.

[Leafeon]

changed the name and Listed the pokemon that get it. Any other recommendations?

[kizzo212]

Feel like it looks fine as it is. Is possible the recipients could be edited a bit, but looks fine for now. I have no real problems with this move so Approved 1/2.

[Devoxys]

Looks fine Approved 2/2

[Deleted]

Maybe Mythox could learn this?

[Devoxys]

Add it as an egg move then.

I kinda wanted it to be the last move it learns...
