Move Forge
Design a signature move for your Pokémon from a 100-point budget
⚒️ A Move Nobody Else Has
The Move Forge lets you design a signature move for one of your Pokémon: you choose its type, power, accuracy, PP and one extra effect, all paid from a budget of 100 points. Then you name it — and that name is yours alone in the whole world. The move goes into one of your Pokémon's four move slots and fights in your battles like any other move.
- Open it: press X or tap the ☰ Main Menu button → Adventure → Move Forge ⚒️. You can also type "Move Forge" into the menu's search box.
- The forge lists your Pokémon on the left with their level and bond (friendship), and shows which ones are "ready to forge".
✅ What You Need
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Pokémon level | 20 or higher |
| Friendship (bond) | 120 or higher |
| Move type | One of the Pokémon's own types, or Normal |
| Category | Physical or Special (no status moves) |
| Price | 3,000 coins to forge · 1,000 coins to re-forge |
| Limit | One signature move per Pokémon, 3 per trainer |
🧮 The 100-Point Budget
Type and category are free. Everything else costs points — or gives points back. The live meter shows "Budget … / 100" and the forge won't let you go over.
Power (40–120, in steps of 5)
Up to 90, every point of power above 30 costs 1 point. Above 90, each point of power costs 2.
| Power | 40 | 60 | 80 | 90 | 100 | 110 | 120 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | 10 | 30 | 50 | 60 | 80 | 100 | 120 |
Accuracy
| Accuracy | 100% | 95% | 90% | 85% | 80% | 70% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | 0 | −4 | −8 | −12 | −16 | −24 |
PP
| PP | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | −10 | 0 | +8 | +15 |
One extra effect (or none)
| Effect | Points |
|---|---|
| No extra effect | 0 |
| 10% / 20% / 30% chance to burn, paralyze or poison | 8 / 15 / 22 |
| 10% chance to freeze | 12 |
| Heals 25% / 50% of the damage dealt | 14 / 26 |
| +1 Attack or +1 Sp. Atk after it hits | 20 |
| +1 Defense or +1 Sp. Def after it hits | 16 |
| +1 Speed after it hits | 24 |
| Foe −1 Defense or −1 Sp. Def: 30% chance / always | 10 / 22 |
| Foe −1 Speed: 30% chance / always | 12 / 26 |
🔥 Example Builds
| Build | Power / Accuracy / PP / Effect | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Flamethrower-class | 90 / 100% / 15 PP / 10% burn | 60 + 0 + 8 + 8 = 76 |
| Steady drain | 80 / 100% / 10 PP / heals 50% | 50 + 0 + 0 + 26 = 76 |
| Speed engine | 70 / 95% / 10 PP / +1 Speed | 40 − 4 + 0 + 24 = 60 |
| All-in nuke | 120 / 85% / 5 PP / none | 120 − 12 − 10 = 98 |
| Clean hitter | 110 / 100% / 10 PP / none | 100 + 0 + 0 = 100 |
Power 120 with 90% accuracy or better never fits, even with 5 PP — the budget keeps every move strong but never broken.
🏷️ Naming Your Move
- 3–22 characters, starting with a letter.
- Letters, numbers, spaces, apostrophes, dashes and dots only — no links, and offensive names are refused.
- Unique in the world: if any move already has that name — including every official move, like Flamethrower — it's taken. The forge checks as you type and shows "✓ The name is free — it will be yours alone."
- As long as your move carries that name, nobody else can take it.
🔁 Forging & Re-forging
- Pick a Pokémon on the left.
- Name the move, choose type, category, power, accuracy, PP and the effect.
- Choose which move it replaces (the forge suggests the first empty slot, or slot 4).
- Press Forge it · 3,000 coins. The move is learned on the spot: "✨ … learned …".
Re-forging changes the same move — name, type, numbers or effect — for 1,000 coins, and it stays in the same slot. Already holding 3 signature moves? Re-forge one of them instead of making a fourth. If the forge ever fails, nothing is charged.
The section "Latest forged in the world" shows the newest moves made by all players — a good place to look for ideas.
🧭 Forge Tips
- Accuracy is cheap insurance. Dropping to 95% only saves 4 points — think twice before going lower.
- 5 PP gives back 10 points — great for a finisher, risky in long fights.
- "Always" stat drops cost more than a 30% chance, but you can count on them.
- Choose your three partners well. You can hold only 3 signature moves, but re-forging is cheaper than forging.
