Combo! Field Effects

[Amethyst]

So, remember at the advent of Black and White, when Nintendo announced the super exciting prospect of Combination Attacks and their temporary field bonuses?

...Because neither do I.

In fact, most people forgot that the Pledge moves existed at all, even after 6th gen's buff to them. Certainly nobody bothered with the tedious doubles-only set up for just 4 turns of whooshiness.

Alas! They are not not to be forgotten! Several of the Field Effects debuting with Episode 12 include the resurgence of these combination attacks! Further, the Pledge moves have been given a non-canonical implementation in Reborn. Pledge moves no longer need to be used in succession in order to activate, and so the combination bonuses can be used even in single battles. A Pledge Tutor is also available in the E12 area, so experiment with what kind of strategies you can pull off with these new Field Effects!

Normally at this part, I would point you to our Field Effects page, but due to site issues that we're still working on, I currently can't edit the main site. Soooo, details are going to have to go here.

It's so bright, and so vivid.

[Vinny]

And i'm just sitting here looking at those spawned Ho-Oh, Goomy and Shiny Talonflame...

.

.

Wait, so the "Big Top" was really a joke? Aww... Oh well. When Terra comes in, the Rainbow field activates immediately?

And i can't shake the feeling that the Goomy is something Ame would do: Level 98, you have 2 levels to evolve it. Good Luck.

[Sylvan Nephilim]

It's a phenomenon of optics that displays a spectrum of light due to the sun shining on droplets of moisture in the atmosphere. Does that explain it?

[diana]

lux no

jk though really am hyped and might actually start the game again ><

[CURIE]

Flame Pledge Blaziken + Drought Ninetails = ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION!

[Red'sCharizard]

Oh man, those field effects are certainly going to make things more interesting.

PS. That level 98 Goomy tho

[Tempest]

Wild... Goomy.... GET HYPED!

[Felicity]

I'm buzzing for the new episode. Although i hope it doesn't come out before Exams are through, else my grades are going down the shitter >.<

[gutten_tag]

this thing makes me crumble......FOR EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO BLOW THROUGH EPI 12!!!!

[The Fush]

These all look really damn good; one criticism that I have to make, though, is that it's a bit unfair certain type moves do less damage on these field effects; pokémon more specifically oriented to using these move types are going to be useless if you're journeying through a natural field effect.

[Azeria]

Me comes on the main website see lvl 98 goomy hear its spawned for field effect feel teased by ame

[Magus]

Sonic Boom does 140 flat damage in the rainbow, well shit I think I found the next thing I'm going to abuse.

[Gaunt]

These are great! (not deadly enough if you ask me but i always have that problem ) Can't wait for ep.12, one question: why only Sleep Powder is affected by the Swamp Field? Shouldn't it be all Powder moves?

[T-Raz]

I really love these field effects implimented in the game, more strategies, bit more difficulty for the game, & just all around amazing.

[Lost Lore]

I just...

The field effects I really like (especially dat Burning field), but you're getting a bit silly with these Pokemon you're spawning to showcase them... there are no random level 98 Goomy running around Reborn. (...Are there? Because that'd actually be legit terrifying.)

Also 140 damage Sonicbooms are something straight out of my nightmares. It took me a minute to catch the reference though I am ashamed...

[Notus]

Wow, these look really nice! I never used the pledges before, guess it's time to get started.

[Chase]

Hey Vinny.

I don't think we can get Goomy to LISTEN to us at that level either, so you have the extra hassle of switch training it...

...all for a Pokemon you still can't use until you have enough badges. Better stick with your Flygons and Noiverns folks.

[ShatteredSkys]

That lvl 98 goomy

[Slicster]

704/10

Much Goomy

Would read it all over again

I was being a bit silly, yes-- is it jarring? Part of the reason I went so extreme was so that people wouldn't think that there were actually Goomy running around Azurine and waste time looking for it. I was just looking for Pokemon that suited the field theme. Except Burning-- I just wanted to roast a spider for that one.

[Nefalem]

Ame cooking spiders like a boss. I just expected Goomy to be Lin's .. But okay

Nah, it's not jarring. It made me laugh, actually. Even moreso that the Ariados was really out of place as it was the only normal one, among level 98 Goomy and Ho-oh of all things. (Although Ho-oh does fit the theme better than anything else would.)

@People looking for Goomy on Azurine Island: THERE IS NO MEW UNDER THE TRUCK YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO.

...Aaaaaw, now I want this to happen. Lin still scares me but this would be pretty cute.

[Nefalem]

Besides what about http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Thick_Fat_%28Ability%29 Thick Fat in The field is ablaze?

[Saber12]

Very interesting.

I wonder how soon we'll have access to using the move effects. The fire terrain will almost murder anyone's vanilluxe with one hit from what I can tell. So it works like stealth rock but since vanilluxe can have ice body it'd be the same as it losing half of its max health I think? That rainbow terrain is like telling me don't push your luck with normal types but we'll see what happens.
