User:Itan/Proposed Skill (Masters)
Skill (Masters)
A skill (Japanese: スキル Skill) is a game mechanic in Pokémon Masters EX that provides a dynamic-changing effect in battle similar to Abilities. They come in four varieties: passive skills, grid skills, theme skills, and lucky skills.
A passive skill (Japanese: パッシブスキル Passive Skill) is attached to all sync pairs. Some sync pairs have multiple passive skills, and thus can have up to a maximum of three passive skills (excluding Master passive skills). Sync pairs of Egg Pokémon normally get 1-3 passive skills at random, but each Egg Pokémon of a given role (Support, Strike, and Tech) always has the same first, second, and/or third passive skills.
A grid skill (Japanese: ボ—ドスキル Board Skill) is only accessible to a playable sync pair via their sync grid. Each sync pair with an expanded sync grid an be customized to have a variety of grid skills, especially at move level 3 or higher.
A theme skill (Japanese: チームスキル Team Skill) is only accessible to playable sync pairs by specific team compositions for single-player campaigns. (This skill is inactive in co-op teams.) It grant bonuses to type-specific damage, Attack and Special Attack, and/or HP to entire teams if at least two of their members share themes, which can include types.
A lucky skill (Japanese: ポテンシャル Potential) is only accessible to a playable sync pair using Lucky Scrolls and Lucky Cookies. Each sync pair can have only one lucky skill at a time.
List of all Skills
The following is a list of passive, grid, and lucky skills in Pokémon Masters EX.
- Skill name is the skill's designation, which can be found listed in the Sync Pair's summary screen, or when the skill triggers during battle and is seen appearing above a sync pair's Pokémon.
- Value range refers to value designation in a skill's name, in most cases the ascending value increases the skill's chance to trigger, or boosts the performance of the skill's output. [e.g. Raging Rain 2 is greater than Raging Rain 1.]
- Parameter X affected by range, provides the formula for how the Value range affects the skill.
- When a skill is designated by a value there are several interpretations to how it's value affects the skill.
- When a skill has a description: "Has a chance (20%)...", the value of the skill corresponds to an increase in the chances of that skill triggering.
- Where X% = (N+1) * 10, so the value goes from 20% at rank 1 up to 100% at rank 9.
- When a skill has a description: "Powers up the user's (moves/sync/max) moves...", the value of the skill corresponds to an increase in the power applied to move during damage calculation.
- Where X% = N * 10, so the boost to the move's power is equal to ten times the skill's value.
- When a skill has a description: "Reduces damage...", the value of the skill corresponds to an decrease in the damage received.
- Where X% = N * 10, so the damage reduction is equal to ten times the skill's value.
- When a skill has a description that directly affects stat ranks by a specific amount, or when the sync move countdown is reduced by a specific amount, the value of the skill corresponds to the quantity adjusted.
- Where X = N, so the stat rank(s) or sync move countdown, or status change with ranks will be raised, lowered or reduced by the quantity specified in the skill name.
- When a skill has a description: "Has a chance (20%)...", the value of the skill corresponds to an increase in the chances of that skill triggering.
- When a skill is designated by a value there are several interpretations to how it's value affects the skill.
- Description provides detail about what the skill's activation condition is, how it triggers, and what occurs when the condition(s) are met.
- For skills with a description that contains a chance of triggering the their description is rewritten to exclude "Has a chance (X%)" from its text when its chance is at 100%.
- Trigger condition refers to the appropriate action needed in order for a skill's activation to be successfully met.
- Skills use specific terms to refer to specific actions that can be taken in battle:
- The user's moves refer to both Pokémon moves and Trainer Moves.
- The user's moves that target an opponent refers to Pokémon attack moves & Pokémon status moves that can target an opposing sync pair's Pokémon.
- The user's attack moves refer to Pokémon attack moves.
- The user's status moves used by the Trainer's Pokémon refer specifically to Status moves used by the Pokémon.
- The user's move used by the Trainer refer specifically to non-Pokémon moves used by the Trainer.
- The user's Pokémon takes an action refers to Pokémon moves but in addition includes the sub-steps of multi-turn moves or when Pokémon takes up different posture before the attack move is fired off.
- The user's attacks include Pokémon moves, as well as sync moves, max moves, and the unity attack (co-op).
- Skills use specific terms to refer to specific actions that can be taken in battle:
- Effect(s) applied refers to the action that takes place once the conditions have been met.
