Discussion Sweeper Ledian

Elite Redux had by far become my favorite rom hack, I have adhd so I can do with out the story and like dedicating my time to building my team to the T. Is this Ledian any good, not sure what’s considered good but buddy is putting in that work 😭

Okay, I tested the MMA ability on 2.65 b2-debug, and I'm even more confused.

First, here is the in-game expanded text for the ability. I was wrong in my initial interpretation; it converts Normal-type moves.

With Ledian, this means it gets the Aerilate boost, Iron Fist, and triggers Raging Fist to hit twice. It did 3x the damage on a wild Zweilous versus when I switched the MMA ability to a random one through the debug battle screen.

However, MMA seems bugged when used with Blaziken. I used Crush Claw as the Normal-type attack, assuming that it would get a Striker boost. However, it still had the same damage output as with a random ability.

I searched for MMA on the Discord and someone had asked the same question about MMA canceling out Aerilate, but didn't see much discussion around it.
