Pokémon abilities and fear inducement.

[The_real_cal_howard]

So, I was doing a little browsing on Serebii, and it turns out, the abilities Pressure and Unnerve make it more likely for the opponent to call out for help. I might be reading too much into it, but judging by the names of said abilities and their new function, should fear enducement be added to the Pokémon with said ability?

By the way. For pressure, it would affect Mewtwo, the legendary birds, the legendary beasts, the tower duo, Deoxys, the Creation trio (and therefore Arceus), Kyruem, and Wailord. Unnerve would be for Mewtwo and Tyranitar.

Archer, Iris, the Team Rocket Trio, Lance, Brock, Cynthia and Cyrus have Pokémon that have one of the two abilities. I might be forgetting one or two.

Yeah, that makes sense

Wouldn't Intimidate be more fitting of fear inducement?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Yeah. But that one is blatant. No need for a thread about that.

 

[RadicalMrR]

Well I think all of them should be like limited fear inducement since it follows the same logic as a Zebra being scared of a Lion.

 

[SomebodyData]

Yeah, it should be fear inducement.

I am in favor of its proposed.

Pressures text is

"A is exerting it's pressure onto B"

Obvious fear inducement

Unnerves text is

"B is too nervous to eat berries"

Obvious fear inducement

Also the flavor text for Pressure:

"By putting pressure on the opposing Pokemon, it raises their PP usage" - Sun and Moon

The flavor text for Unnerve:

"Makes the foe nervous and unable to eat berries" - Black and White

"Unnerves opposing Pokemon and makes them unable to eat berries" - X, Y, Sun, and Moon
