I like the idea of this move, but 1.3x, that's a bit too much. Life Orb does that much but has recoil damage to balance it out. Maybe lower down the damage and it'll work. Most mons can be male and use this to wreck everything. Other than that, I think it's pretty neat! :3

looks like those things that team flare wear (writes long fan fiction theory) also uh, this is op. free life orb for males only? :/ increase fling bp a little, those edges look sharp. nerf the boost just a little, and it'll be good n_n

Why is this necessary at all? A sexist, cost-free Life Orb. Ok...?

1) Why is this necessary at all?
I...kinda...felt like it.

2) cost-free Life Orb.
Life Orb has a 1.3x boost and works on every Pokémon. The Manly Shades give a 1.2x boost only to male-locked species.

gotta agree with galom sorry :/

This reminds me a lot of my meta Gendermons (http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/gendermons-landorus-unbanned.3517819/), as it deals with giving boosts based on gender. However, Gendermons is 1.2x, and there's a good reason for that. There are many viable genderlocked-pokemon (Such as Latias, Conkeldurr, Landorus-I, Florges, etc.) that will become extremely OP when they recieve a free Life Orb sized boost. I'm sorry, but 1.3x is way too much of a boost to give, and your reasoning for keeping it at 1.3x is horrible.

[silverwhiteblue]

Echoing that 1.3x is very strong and should be changed (if you did, change it in the description above).
To help with Galom's problem, i actually think you dont need to put "manly" and "feminine". i Wouldnt think giving a ribbon to my nidoking is logical anyways. You can just put it in the description. I dont think genderless pokemon should get this at all while genderlocked pokemon are alright i suppose. The drop for opposing genderpokemon isnt too needed i guess.

[kirby]

Illusio and silverwhiteblue, i fixed the power boost and the item name. Removed the drop for the opposing gender, it was really unnecessary. silverwhiteblue, genderless Pokémon didn't get any boost from this from the beginning.

[Devoxys]

Nitpick: Why would Latios/Lando-I/Nidoking make good use of an Attack Boost/Why would Wormadam make good use of a SpA boost?

[kirby]

Devoxys, actually, you're right. I should change that. It's 2 AM here though, and i'm pretty tired, but i'll do it tomorrow, don't worry. Thanks for the support!

Ok, Galom, could you please lock this thread? I want to drop these items completely for now. <.<
