Mental Burst

Description:

The Pokemon creates a surge of mental energy and uses it to unleash its attack with an incredible force. However, this surge of energy is a great exertion on the mind and body of the Pokemon who used it.

Usage:

The User activates Mental Burst to make the next attack it performs deal 2x damage. The FP cost of that move is 3x its normal cost. (1pd)

Example:

Espeon is fighting against Quagsire and wants to put a decisive end to the quarrel. It activates Mental Burst and prepares to use Psybeam. The attack is given a ferocious power as Espeon forces its mental energy into the beam. Espeon rolls its attack roll, hits, and rolls damage dice. The total is 21, which gets multiplied into 42 damage. Psybeam's FP cost is 4, so it becomes 12 for the Mental Burst attack and Espeon loses 12 FP.

Notes:

The damage multiplier occurs before calculating Weakness/Resistance.

Mental Burst cannot be used reflexively. It must be announced before the attack roll. However, an unsuccessful attack roll does not use up the Feat.

Mental Burst does not affect the secondary effects of moves in any way.

If the User does not have adequate FP for the 3x multiplied amount of a move, it cannot use that move with Mental Burst until it has the requisite amount.

Mental Burst does not need to be used with a Psychic-type move. Any of the User's non-Status moves can be affected by it.
