This contains the assorted moves a Pokemon may learn translated into GURPS-speak. Of greatest importance:
Alternate Abilities: Pokemon are assumed to only use one ability at a time; ie, if they're using Growl they cannot simultaneously use Tail Whip.
Rule of Four: Most Pokemon are bound to remember a maximum of four moves, limiting their overall power level by limiting the number of moves they have to keep track of. This may not necessarily be the case in Kyrael, but it's useful for sorting out point totals.
Damage Types: For purposes of damage, all types inflict Crushing thrust damage. However, all Pokemon suffer additional or less damage from appropriate elements; for example, a Water attack inflicts half damage on a Grass type. This does not imply a separate Weakness or Dread, this is just part of the way Pokemon work. On a critical hit, all types inflict Crushing swing damage.
Move Category: Move Category is either Physical, Special, or Other, which determines what attribute to use when determining final damage.
Move Power: Final damage takes the original value and reduces it; 10 is the lowest power level, and inflicts 1d damage plus the damage of the move itself. For every 10 points, add 1d. For 5 points, add +2.
Move Accuracy: 100 is no penalty to hit; each 5 off is a -1 to hit. Attacks that never miss are noted with a *.
Move PP: This ranges from 5 to 40 typically. Divide 40 by PP and round to determine ER used per Move. Typically, a Pokemon has an ER equal to 40 per move.
Makes contact: Some moves require physical contact, which may have negative effects where noted.
Move Target: Some moves target multiple Pokemon, where this is the case it shall be noted.
