Echoed Voice
Echoed voice is currently a three tile spray. It has 15 pp on PMU. And the base power is 40. Seeing the low pp, and low base power, this attack is left almost useless. Not only in the arena, but in dungeons too. We can’t change the base power, and that’s completely understandable. However, I would like to request that Echoed Voice becomes a glide. It wouldn’t change much, but it will at least make it useful for the time being. Bulbapedia says it has 24 pp max, and we still have 15, with such a low base power. Moreover, I believe changing the pp to 24 will make it a bit ‘haxy’.
Some General Concerns
I got views about my suggestion from a few people most agreed. However, some seemed to disagree. So, before saying anything, you should consider the following.
It gets stronger every turn, isn’t that enough?
Sadly, no. It should be kept in mind that while keeping PMU as a base, in the Arena or in dungeons, hitting the foe is not always possible. It may be a spray, but even it’s 100% accuracy does not ensure hitting the foe (reason being dodging, lag etc) and missing the foe does not increase the power, so in the limited ‘15’ pp, what can you expect?
I don’t think making it a glide will do anything. It’s still a useless move :<
Actually, it will. At least for arena purposes. It will make it easier to attack foes and it’ll be balanced. Any other changes to the range are acceptable, as long as it is made a glide.
How about we make in an arc glide?
That would be fine by me. But consider this, X scissor is a spray, yet it glides. And Hyper voice has 90 base power and it’s still an AOE. I think these factors should be taken into consideration (though it’s really no comparison, but still)
So, anything else regarding Echoed Voice being made a glide?
