The following rules are for TM/Tutor/Egg Moves. Though you still need to request moves in this thread, these are the guidelines that I’ll be using. It may vary with other mods.

Level up moves are learned by level up.

Guidelines
Tier 1 moves: base power 0-40; one per pokemon per RP.

Tier 2: base power 45-90; only 1 per character per RP.

Tier 3: base power 95 and up; only one per character every other RP.

The level a pokemon can use the move is determined by comparison to other pokemon movesets. For moves that are not learned by level-up, the level learned is determined at mod's discretion.

Additional Guidelines

1. Note that “per character” means one move per human trainer. That is, only one of his/her pokemon can obtain that move in a particular RP.

2. For TM moves, characters should obtain a TM to teach the move. As for learning the move, I would treat it like on the movie The Matrix. There, the main character (Neo) downloaded a skill and immediately “knew kung fu”.

3. Move tutor moves should be taught, but not necessarily by a move tutor. They can be learned from other pokemon , watching a pokemon perform the moves on TV, etc. Keep in mind that more training is required to master tutor moves than TMs.

4. For egg moves, they have to be compatible according to lineage. You may want to keep track of parents of each of your pokemon to make sure your particular pokemon can learn the move.

5. If your pokemon learns a move, mention it in the RP Grading post once the RP is finished. Try and keep track of these moves either in your profile, current levels post, or wiki.

6. These rules are NOT retroactive. That means if we already approved of something, you get to keep it.

7. These rules are subject to change. Keep an eye out on new posts here for any updates.

Name of character: Include link to Current Levels
Move requested: Nuff said. Include type (tutor, TM, Egg)
Pokemon to be taught: You better know this
How will it learn the move?: See guidelines above for your type of move.
Notes: Anything else?

Multi-Generation Movesets

We’re allowing the use of moves across all game generations (R/B/Y, D/P/Pt/HG/SS, etc). That means if a pokemon learns a certain move in one gen and not the others, you can still use it. Also, if it learns a move at an earlier level in one game, you may use the earlier level.

Kenz wins, and the rich boys make a run for it. Sending out her best flyer, Pidee hunts them down and grabs the TM from their pocket. By grabbing the TM, Pidee learns the move.
Notes: What would be the power for this move? Pidgey is Kenz's best friend; they've known each other since Kenz was 7.

Move requested: Sky Drop - TM move (but I plan on self-taught, or tutor-style teaching)
Pokemon to be taught: Sabre (Skarmory)
How will it learn the move?: With Sabre already knowing Fly, he alters it and takes up the opponent, soon to alter the tactics of Fly to Sky Drop.
Notes: links in sig. Also, i want this to be a move alteration, because that is pretty much the difference between Fly and Sky Drop.

Posted by: Kamaitachi May 10 2011, 08:43 PM

I approve. I'd prefer if it wasn't 'Self-Taught', seeing as it is not a move Skarmory learns naturally (which is what Self-taught implies to me.) Sabre is more than welcome to observe the move being used, then mimic it. Or, push comes to shove, Douken could just use the TM. Fly is not an actual combat move in this case, since we're saying that HM skills' field effects can be done by any pokemon naturally. Make sense?

Anyhow, approved.

Move requested: Earthquake, TM (Tier 3)
Pokemon to be taught: Hitmontop
How will it learn the move?: Justin will buy the Earthquake TM with the money he made in his most recent Team Deception job. He'll teach it to Hitmontop, whom will have difficulty focusing it at first, and causes a lot of collateral damage in some form or another. I guess this part depends on the situation in which his first use happens, but I know it will have adverse effects.
Notes: He's level 60, so it should be fine, yeah?

Move requested: Ice Punch, Tutor (Tier 2)
Pokemon to be taught: Sudowoodo
How will it learn the move?: Nate's Sneasel knows it already, and Sudowoodo is a master of Mimic. Sudowoodo and Ninja (the Sneasel) will work together to teach him Ice Punch.
Notes: I don't really know the rules, but I only requested one Tier 2 and one Tier 3. If you can only request one from both of them, then I choose Earthquake.

Posted by: Kamaitachi May 10 2011, 09:11 PM

Unless I'm mistaken, I think it's okay. Since the Tier 3 move will be learned here, you'll have to wait and finish this rp and another before you can request another Tier 3. In the meantime, since you can request one Tier 2 move per RP, then it should also be okay. I guess technically you could request 6 Tier One Moves.

So...

Earthquake is approved. Nice job by you on limiting its awesome power at first.
Ice Punch is approved. Sudowoodo is boss.

Move requested: Dragonbreath(egg)
Pokemon to be taught: Leafwind
How will it learn the move?: The RP I'm in involves a bunch of stolen pokemon in cages. The thieves put the keys to the cages in a safe, and of course they refuse to let anyone know what the combination is. Leafwind opens her mouth to roar angrily, and the dragonbreath technique that had lied dormant in her for so long activates. The dragonbreath hits one of the cage locks, and the lock crumbles because the metal it's made out of is highly vulnerable to that type of energy. They open the rest of the cages the same way.
Notes: If you read my profile, you'll see that Leafwind came from an egg that was a gift from a retired trainer. We can easily say Dragonbreath was a move that one of her parents had.

Posted by: Kamaitachi May 14 2011, 03:56 PM

Denied.

Dragonbreath has a base power of 60, and is therefore a "Tier 2" level move, meaning the pokemon should be at least level 25 before a request for this level of move is considered.

Atop this, the earliest level a non-dragon type pokemon learns this move is Level 31.

I'm sorry, but you may have to change around that part of the story roleplay as well.

Posted by: Bronze Charizard May 14 2011, 04:09 PM

Dang. Well, I'll wait until she's level 25, and whatever RP I'm in then, I'll think up another way. Sorry for not paying enough attention to the Tiers thing.

Will this apply for all stages of evolution? By level 25, Leafwind will be a grovyle...

Posted by: Kamaitachi May 14 2011, 06:42 PM

Even as a grovyle, the Level 25 requirement will remain.

Posted by: Bronze Charizard May 16 2011, 04:05 PM

OK, gotcha. I liked the pokemon opening the cages idea, so I tweaked it a bit so it's allowed.

Pokemon to be taught: Tropius
How will it learn the move?: Tropius can't do any super-effective type moves to the Golurk she's fighting, despite being a Grass type. She doesn't know any Grass Type moves! She looks over to another fighting traner (NPC) and sees a Hoppip use Energy Ball. Tropius tries to copy it and it works.
Notes: None.

Posted by: Kamaitachi Jun 27 2011, 01:59 PM

Couple Things: Energy Ball is not a move Tropius can learn naturally (Either Level up, Egg or Move Tutor), therefore, I think it definitely requires the TM.

If you want it for this Starfall Field Storyline, it may not be possible. If approved, Energy Ball will not be usable until Level 32, at which is the earliest level the move can be learned (Deerling/Sawsbuck).

Also, update your current levels thread and/or your profile. I have no idea of Tropius' level. If he's Level 11, he has Razor Leaf, for instance. If he's around level 11, I'd be inclined to let Tropius learn Razor Leaf early.

So, Request Denied.

Move requested: Iron Tail, Flash, Focus Punch
Pokemon to be taught: Rai [Tom's Pikachu]
How will it learn the move?: Tom's Rai is battling a large hoard of Swinub in the Ice Temple. He's managed to dispatch of one, but now, the Swinub have clumped together and are acting as a team, making his only move that will effect them, Quick attack, relatively useless. The Swinub are getting closer and are attacking him, but Rai is evading them so far. he knows he can't keep it up, and, eventually getting desperate, charges at the Swinub, concentrating as he does to try and get a useful attack. The lands a Focus Punch on tow of the Swinub, KOing them straight away. Surprised, he tries again, but it doesn't work, instead making him use Flash. Surprised to see the effect this had on the Swinub, Rai tries Flash again, but fails. Then he realises there are still five more Swinub looking angry and still trying to attack him, so his flails his arms, legs, head around in an attempt to initiate another attack. When he tries his tail, he manages to use Iron Tail, knocking out four of the remaining five. Rai tries to use Iorn Tail again to knock out the remaining Swnib, but it doesn't work, so instead he uses Quick Attack and manages to finish it off.
Seeing this, Rai makes a mental note to try and re-teach Rai these moves, due to how useful they are. In the next RP, set in the Aridana desert after Pokecon, Tom will start this process, trying to teach all three moves again. Iron tail and Focus Punch are replicated eventually but are pitifully weak due to how weak Rai is. When he gets stronger, he'll be able to use them. Rai also manages to get Flahs working again, and by the end of the Aridana adventure, he can use it rather proficiently, and is becomes vital in the final stage of the adventure. Iron tail, and Focus Punch will finally be mastered when Rai reaches roughly the 25-30 level mark. But that depends on your view. [Actually, looking at the levels that Pokemon naturally learn the moves, it'll probably be more like level 40.]
Notes: Iron Tail and Focus Punch I'm expecting not to be used again until about Lvl 25-30. I would like Flash to be used as soon as Rai learns it, which will take one RP hopefully.

Posted by: 2gamers Sep 28 2011, 09:15 PM

These are pretty powerful moves, especially for a pokemon at such a low level. Does he really need to learn all these powerful moves in sucha short time? Flash is fine, but you should choose either Iron Tail or Focus Punch to learn in this series of RPs. Save the other for another storyline.

Notes: oh, yea, earlier on (when he learns it) I'll be flipping a coin to decide if it hits or not. I know, you'll just have to trust me xP later on, at lv30+ I'd go with the regular 75/100 accuracy.

Posted by: 2gamers Oct 19 2011, 08:52 PM

On learning the move: Having the right parent simply means the aron has the capability of learning that move. What happens in the RP that sparks the learning process?

Coin flips aren't necessary. You don't get to decide whether the attack hits; the defender does. We go by an honor system (according to my experiences): we recognize that pokemon aren't god-like beings and will get hit. Judging from circumstances given in posts, the defender decides whether the attack hits or if there's some way for the pokemon to avoid the attack. Note that this only applies in PvP. This isn't necessary when fighting your own NPCs.

It won't be able to be fully used until Lvl 37. That is, the aron will keep learning the technique until Lvl 37.

Posted by: Neoixan Oct 21 2011, 06:30 PM

all right, thanks for responding My aron is generally laid back/lazy but something would have to happen in an rp to make him care about battling and learning moves -of course, I have no idea yet. but it'll probably be something like that xP

Posted by: Kamaitachi Mar 13 2012, 11:34 PM

According to our system, this is a Tier 2 move at base power 60, meaning that you should only be allowed one request per character per rp.

I think, though, concerning the nature of the move, that it should be okay for Speaker, Drummer, Maya and Record to all learn the move. I think a fair trade would be that you not request any Egg/TM/Move Tutor moves for Seiccan's team for at least the next two roleplays. (Rather than have him teach them one at a time across four).

I think this is pretty fair, so unless another mod thinks otherwise, approved.

How will it learn the move?: Shadow and Mercury have a deep rapport, so much so that they are in constant psychic contact. When battling a fighter, against whom his steel typing makes him weak, he lashes out with the only thing he can think of: His mind. Because he has been around a Psychic for so long, his aura has taken it in and he has learned Psychic.
Notes: There may also be a secondary reason: It has been established that Shadow's sire is a medicham. Children can learn TM moves through breeding. While he couldn't learn psychic as a riolu, leaving this method out as the sole method of learning the move, it could have helped.

Move requested: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Tynamo_(Megalo_Cannon_23)
Pokemon to be taught: Tynamo
How will it learn the move?: Adelaide's Tynamo is really quite insecure, mostly about his bone-dry movepool. He's scared that because he's been getting stronger but not learned any new moves, Adelaide will ditch him for a better Pokemon. While recuperating in the Pokemon Centre in Baccate, he tries new ways of attacking and refines a technique into something usable, which eventually results in Razor Fin.
Notes: This is not a move from the game; indeed, the link is to the trading card that it's from. I'm not entirely sure what it would do, because trying to convert TCG moves into game moves is hard, but here's my initial thoughts:-

Razor Fin
Type: Water
Power: ca. 60?
Accuracy: 100%
PP: 20 (max: 32)
Priority: 0
Damage: Physical
Target: Single Non-User
Effects: None

If there's something wrong with this please say, and I'll try and make it balanced. It's just... Tynamo really does have a barren movepool - literally only four moves - and I think it'd be very in character for him to want to figure out new ways to carry the day and be credit to team, as the saying goes. This would carry over to his later evolutions (rightly famed for having gigantic movepools), wherein that drive for self-improvement hasn't gone away.

It just seems like the sort of thing he'd do, y'know?

Posted by: Kamaitachi Mar 23 2013, 02:29 AM

I'm actually quite sketchy on this. While a part of me says it's okay, because Tynamo has such a limited movepool, the other part of me says: "That's what you get for starting with Tynamo."

Also, this:

You already got Signal Beam for Mantyke. This proposed "Razor Fin" would fall into a Tier 2 move as well. If it were, say, Base 40 attack or lower, or, for some reason, over 95, then I'd be able to actively consider it. I'm sorry, I must break your heart again.

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Mar 23 2013, 07:22 PM

It's okay. I'm mostly just trying to establish precedent here. Besides, it's not precisely my heart you're breaking.

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Jun 25 2013, 11:17 AM

So, if my dear Tynamo were to find a way of developing the move, would it be okay to use this as an opportunity to get the previously-discussed Razor Fin for him? Or shall you once more brutally crush his hopes and dreams? His tiny, adorable, oh-so-precious hopes and dreams?

Posted by: Master Houndoom Jun 28 2013, 03:16 AM

Kam: Approved for immediate use. All of your pokemon are well within the level of learning it, save Razo, who I could not verify.

CCC: I'm going to have to also say no. As you've said, Razor Fin is not a move from the games, nor has it been translated into the anime. With little data on it, it will be too hard to track it's power and such (where as with game moves, we can look on bulbapedia and get an instant look at its capabilities). I realize it has a limited power pool. Other starters do as well, and still others have weak stats despite a nice sized power pool. It's a wonderful (in my own arguably biased-'cause-it-ain't-me opinion) to play with the limits and have it overcome despite them (Such as Diamond and Pearl episode 21: Ya See We Want an Evolution). I believe we have yet to see a character take a weak pokemon like magikarp, feebas, or tynamo, and put the effort in to work it to it's more powerful evolutions. This is an opportunity to be first.

Posted by: colourcodedchaos Jun 28 2013, 03:21 AM

After Baleful Beast ends, Tynamo will probably end up being Level 36. This, plus the levels from winning my first-round match, will be enough to evolve him and give him the ability to speak English. His name, of course, he will pick himself, because a hallmark of Adelaide's personal philosophy is not calling anyone by a name that they did not choose.

His name will be Kaizen, and for once in this thing the use of Japanese culture isn't entirely spurious.

Her skill was not nearly enough to use higher-end fire attacks, however, nor would she be able to use Dark Pulse (his second choice) anytime soon, so Scott took a bet on Hidden Power instead. The move allows Ruby to draw water out of her surroundings and form it into a ball which she then launches at the opponent. Unlike Scarlet and Ebony, she will enter the next roleplay essentially unable to use the move, and will learn it during the course of the roleplay.

Move Requested: Telekinesis, Gen 5 TM19
Pokemon to be Taught: Scarlet
How she will learn the move: After evolution and with Scott still hanging around the Ranger Station as it moved into the final stages of construction, Scarlet got bored and began playing around with her psychic powers. After figuring out telepathy, and then teleportation, she started trying to move other objects with her powers. While she did succeed at this, she could only move very light objects short distances, so Scott bought her an older model TM to teach her the secrets of telekinesis.
Notes: I can't guarantee this will always be used the way it was intended (to reduce the foe's evasion). I mean, the possibilities for telekinesis are endless...... she might even go so far as picking up a stick or stone and bashing someone else with it when she's mad or something. But barring an extreme event like that, she'll mostly use it for immobilizing/slowing her opponents and opening doors/turning on lights/getting food that is out of her reach/other basic household actions.

Move requested: Counter, Quick Guard, Fire Punch and Thunder Punch. (All egg-moves)
Pokemon to be taught: Vex
How will it learn the move?: Since the Grand Invitational, Vex has been obsessed with the Thunder Punch technique he managed to perform back then. During the retrieval of Jill's pokéball in the caverns of Mt. Carrelo, he will keep on trying to use Thunder Punch although commanded otherwise, and when the situation eventually requires for it, Vex will release his full-power move on the unsuspecting residents of said cavern.

Jill will discover Vex's ability to use Quick Guard after the chimchar uses it to deflect the newly-caught Noibat's Wing Attack during a preliminary training for the Arasam Contest. As later on will be revealed, in probably another Rp, Quick Guard was a move Vex was taught by his previous owner, her brother Nathaniel.
Notes: The father is Hitmonchan, so I just added all the moves at once, because yours truly tends to be forgetful. Anyway, Counter and Fire Punch will be learnt in other Rp's though, and Thunder Punch was used during the Grand Invitational, so with your approval, I'd like him to start perfecting it.

Thunder Punch is approved.

Go ahead and wait for the next couple RPs to request the other moves

Move requested: Iron Tail TM23 (from Gen4)
Pokemon to be taught: Ruby, level 28 Ninetales

How will it learn the move?: From an old TM Scott managed to acquire for cheap while he was going through therapy in the hospital after the events in Fidona. Seeing that Ruby had a habit of wandering off and sometimes even got into fights while he wasn't around, he decided she needed a way to protect herself. Despite already owning the Protect TM for Scarlet, that wasn't really Ruby's style, so Scott needed something else for her. When he saw someone selling an old Iron Tail TM, he had a curious thought- while the steel tails would make for an interesting new style of attack, could that same tail armor also serve as a shield for deflecting attacks by wrapping the tails around herself? Doing so would probably reduce or eliminate her ability to move, but with practice she could easily make a steel wall to block many kinds of physical attacks, then swing the tails outwards in a quick counterattack. Or at least, that was Scott's theory. He has yet to really test it.

Notes: The earliest a non-Steel type learns the move is level 40 (Onix), but I'm willing to heavily nerf Ruby's ability to attack with this move by saying the tails are simply too heavy for her to swing around with ease. She simply won't be able to hit a target in a 1 on 1 against any Pokemon that can move in any slightly unpredictable fashion, and even if she does hit she won't be able to swing the tails very fast, so there won't be much force behind the attack. It's mostly intended as a defensive move, and even then it won't be able to prevent damage from attacks using any kind of energy (ranged attacks mostly, but also physical attacks like Zen headbut or any physical electric/water move). Mostly, it'll stop things like Tackle or Wing Attack or Take Down, that use just the user's strength and/or weight to cause damage.

Plus......

Name of Character: Amber Harrison (same link as above for levels)
Move requested: Aerial Ace TM40
Pokemon to be taught: Luna, level 18 Absol

How will it learn the move?: TM. Luna's role is to be able to deal heavy damage to as many kinds of foes as possible, and since both Amber's team and Scott's team lack a flying-type move entirely, the extra damage potential paired with Aerial Ace's outstanding accuracy ended up being too tempting for Amber to ignore.

Notes: A few non-flying Pokemon learn Aerial Ace at level 10 or lower, so level shouldn't be an issue here.

I love it when these are so well thought out.
