Precognitive Response

Description:

The Psychic Pokemon recognizes the motions that its aggressor is taking to send an energy attack at it. Using its trained focus, the Pokemon glances a split-second into the future to sense the attack's path, and attempts to move out of the way and counterattack.

Usage:

User may attempt to reflexively counter an incoming Special Attack that an opponent sends at them. User rolls a d20 against the opponent (with any appropriate modifiers). If they are successful, the User performs its own action instead of receiving the incoming attack. (1pd)

Example:

Hypno is fighting Misdreavus and the Ghost sends a Shadow Ball at it. Reacting to this, Hypno activates Precognitive Response. Hypno recognizes the pattern and closes its eyes to glance at the trajectory of the energy ball. It rolls against Misdreavus, getting a 19. Misdreavus rolls a 16. Hypno senses the attack's path, and drifts just out of its range, already preparing a blast of Confusion that it sends at Misdreavus. The Ghost, expecting its Shadow Ball to cripple Hypno with fear, is struck with the Confusion instead. Hypno loses the 3 FP for Confusion.

Notes:

Precognitive Response is a Level 2 Feat from Focused Precision. It can only be accessed by Psychic-type Pokemon.

Failing in the roll against an opponent does not use up Precognitive Response's use. It will only be activated with a successful counter.

The User's FP for the attack it chooses is used normally.

Precognitive Response does not affect the User's turn in the round. It occurs as normal.
