New Moves/Abilities

[Ampharos King]

Aurorus, the evolution of Amaura, can learn a new Ice-type move called "Freeze Dry" that is super-effective against Water-type pokemon and has a chance to freeze the opponent.

 

[Gaga]

So dual typed moves are confirmed. Is that a 99.99% accuracy rating for the Pokebeach rumors yet? xP

Not sure how common dual type moves will be. If they're rare that could give some types a much needed boost.

Oh my god. I adore ice types. Ice types will finally take revenge on water types lol

 

[Gaga]

If this turns out well...I might even be convinced that Game Freak does not want Ice to be the joke type

 

[Zeb]

I hope that move isn't just signature move of Auroras. It sounds really good, and it would be cool to see it have decent distribution amongst only Ice-types. Give it a decent base power, please, Game Freak.

 

[WindBlast]

If freeze dry is in deed a double typed move (and not just a normal ice move with extra SE on water), then the second type is either electric or grass...and if it is electric then we have a STAB boltbeam in one move @____@ Why ice is left with no new resistances is becoming clearer and clearer.

 

[Gaga]

I think the term "double type" may have just been what the rumor source assumed based on what they saw.

A few attacks will be dual-typed. (WPM Note: Many people are interpreting this as an attack shooting out two types at once, but it could just be that the attack switches types under certain conditions or something like that.)

The name doesn't really sound like an Electric or Grass move. I think it just as the extra effect of being SE against Water. Also, "a few attacks" means there won't be many attacks like this, if that part is also accurate.

Yeah, I realize that. I said in my post that it is a possibility in case freeze dry doesn't end up being a normal ice move with extra effect
Buuuuut, even so, The icy dino will now be able to slaughter 8 types with SE damage....and also ghost types will finally have a taste of giga impact and destruction beam. Now this is a buff for ice types. ( unless the stats are horrible X__x).

 

[Gaga]

unless the stats are horrible X__x

Please Game Freak, don't give Freeze Dry less than 80 BP :V

So far it just seems like our little icy dinosaur is getting the royal treatment. I hope they buff some older Ice types. Whether by improving some abilities and Hail or just giving them new moves Ice really needs a buff now that Fairy is the premier Dragon killer.

I totally agree. Freeze dry should be 80 > BP to justify having an ice/ rock ( aka a major jeopardy with 2 double weakness and a gazillion other weakness) on the field.

Yeah, I would ( kinda) be fine with the new type chart and GF's unfairness to ice types if they buff the type with hail, moves and stats. I want them to make ice a real glass * mother***** gustav max * canon XD

 

[Zeb]

With this Freeze Dry move, Water/Ground types will have another 4x weakness along with Grass.

suck on that swampert?

im so excited about all these shakeups they are doing.

 

[Zeb]

Actually, Water/Dragon, Water/Flying, Water/Grass and Water/Ground, all gain a 4x weakness to this Ice move. Water/Ground was just the first one that I thought of, for some reason.

 

[Bayushiyojiro]

so kingdra, mantine, ludicolo, even palkia will get nailed by this move too? sweeeet

 

[WindBlast]

Holy cow!!!! fairies will be eclipsed by ice now. too many things will have X4 weakness to ice now

Dear GF,

Do not give other types a treat like freeze dry.

Yours,
fans

inb4 GF crushes your hopes and dreams for their amusement.

i want to see a dragon-type biting move for tyrantrum to take advantage of his pokeability.

 

[YamiiDenryuu]

Wasn't there a rumour a while back about Clauncher getting a similar move, a water-type attack that dealt SE damage to flying types?

I know X__X I am just living in denial lol.

Would want that too, but would prefer a poetic name for the move...like fangs draconis or something lol

 

[AmphBoss]

Dragon Crunch?

 

[Bayushiyojiro]

dragon biting move 'om nom'
