Fly Trap

This is a revival of an old ability I made named "Carnivorous" that was locked so that I can remake it as a move. So here we go!


Fly Trap:
Type: Grass
BP: 70
PP: 20 (Max. 32)
Acc: 100%
Seconday Effect: Super Effective on Bug Types
Physical
Makes Contact
Hits one Adjacent Pokemon
Affected by Protect
Affected by King's Rock
Affected by BrightPowder 
Description: The user uses sweet scents to attract a foe, then suddenly attacks them.
Pokemon: Carnivine, Bellsprout, Weepinbel, Victreebel, Fakemon (anyone? tell me)


Grass Type Physical Freeze-Dry. This is a move that is given to Pokemon that are based off of carnivorous plants, so it is super-effective against Bug-Types.

[Psych]

Would this be a 2-turn move? The sweet scent then closing in the mouth seem like 2 different actions. I think that might be the best way to go with this move.

[Secreton]

Seems powerful, and kinda outclasses power whip. Since it has low distribution, it's probably fine, since bug types aren't too common, though freeze dry is 70 BP and has about the same amount of distribution.

[Devoxys]

Psych, the sweet scent thing explains how it corresponds to real life. Insects are attracted by the nectar, and then they fall for the trap. The sweet scent would already be there, so no.

Secreton, lowered BP to 100.

[Flerovium]

I love this. I feel it adds at least something to the fairly weak Grass-type, and it's based off something which occurs in real life. I still think the base power should be lowered just a tad more, however, maybe to 90, or 95 even?

[The Run]

For a BP of 100, having 20 PP is way too much. I suggest putting it down to 10. This move sorta of reminds me of Solarbeam where the user takes in energy then blasts the 2nd turn. Its a really good move, although I still agree with Psych about it being better off as a 2-turn move.

[Devoxys]

I nerfed the BP to 90, I was unsure about the BP anyway. I prefer lowering the BP than making this a 2-turn move.

[Psych]

I'm cool with this being a 1-turn move if you nerf the BP like you did.

If it's above 100 I say 2-turn.

[silverwhiteblue]

I think It should be a freeze dry clone. that's generally how gamefreak sets their "same idea different type" move. I Do love the idea however, but the name isnt ideal 

[Devoxys]

I have decided to revive this!

Go vote in the poll.

[kizzo212]

It's actually a neat idea. Would give carnivine and victreebel some way to hit steel/bug types etc. Kinda a shame that a lot of bug types are also poison or flying type, but would still help a bit, being stronger than return or something at least.
What I don't quite understand is the actual physical practicality, like this move would still do damage to a giratina, but how is a bellsprout eating a giratina?

[Devoxys]

Yeah, the physical practicality was one of my concerns about making this a move. Though, in retrospect, how would an Eevee bite a Dialga?

[Devoxys]

Poll is over, edits made. Bump.

[Salient]

I see no glaring issues with this, it's a unique move and nothing overpowered gets it. Might want someone to give this to their fakemon. Aside from that, Approved 1/2.

[Devoxys]

Thanks Salient!

I should probably fix the tag.

[Salient]

Devoxys, it should be "Approved 1/2". Unless I'm missing someone's approval.

[Devoxys]

And that's what happens when you are approving something and changing titles at the same time :/.

Well, I guess I'll tag kizzo212

[kizzo212]

I guess the questionable practicality side of things is kinda irrelevant tbh. Pokemon in general barely follows any real logic or physics half the time, so no real issue. Nice original idea, with some competitive use.

Approved 2/2.

[Devoxys]

Thanks guys!
