3 new pokemon moves were discovered by hackers in Pokemon X and Y earlier today! They also discovered Hoopa's ability (Magician), Volcanion's ability (Water Absorb), and their base stats! 80/110/60/150/130/70 for Hoopa and 80/110/120/130/90/70 for Volcanion.
The moves are;
Hold Hands
Normal Type
Special
Power:_
Accuracy:_
PP: 40
The user and an ally hold hands. This makes them very happy.
This move appears completely useless competitively.
Thousand Arrows
Ground Type
Physical
Power: 90
Accuracy: 100
PP: 10
This move also hits opposing Pokemon that are in the air. Those Pokemon are knocked down to the ground.
Depending on who recieves this, Rotom-W's viability could be in jeopardy...
Thousand Waves
Ground Type
Physical
Power: 90
Accuracy: 100
PP: 10
The user attacks with a wave that crawls along the ground. Those hit can't flee from battle.
Not too sure on this one yet...
It is currently unknown what mons receive the moves, although Volcanion may (See below)
In the meantime, discuss! How will these moves affect the metagame? Will they increase or decrease the viability of any pokemon? What may their tiering be in the future??
