Rin could only wince in anticipation as Osajyin's Razor Leaf came raining down upon the Phanpy in front of them, but when the leaves settled, Rin knew it was the right call. Pushing themself off the dirt, Rin's cheeks poked out with their gleaming smile. Their first win of the day, and just outside of Sunsay! It couldn't get much better than this. It was just so cinematic. "This is a sign of good things to come, Osaja, so let's not keep those things waiting!" Looking down at the vulnerable Phanpy did make Rin realize again how easy it'd be if they could catch it, but no matter. They'd already made up their mind and made peace with the situation. "How about you give this buddy something nice to remember us by? Osajyin, show off your unforgettably handsome beauty with Synthesis." Stepping back, Rin let the rest of the battle unfold. Tapping their foot excitedly, Rin just couldn't wait to get to Sunsay, and really start begining their journey! Just as Osajyin's light began to get its brightest, Rin shot the Phanpy finger guns and cockily invited the Phanpy to their team. "I know, impressive. So join us next time we meet, yeah?" All Rin needed were sunglasses, and not only would they look like an arrogant prick, but also so that they'd stop damaging their eyes by looking straight at Osajyin's Synthesis all the time. Alas, such is the price of pride.

OOOOOOH, okay. So when you said this:

From now on ... moves that are purely designed to lower or raise a stat will gain a 50% boost on their roll ...

@Balthazar007

For some reason I thought you just meant that the effects of all Stat raising moves would be +50% not that rolling for Stat Moves is boosted. That makes sense. Lmao, I think I finally get it... hopefully!

Rin had already prematurely jumped into the air in congratulations when the wild Phanpy curled in on itself in an exemplary display of Defense Curl. Osajyin's super-effective leaves bounced useless off of the Long Nose pokémon, littering the ground dirty with green. "What?! Oh come on, that's not fair! You definitely deserve to be on my team for that one . . ." Rin pouted, but not before shaking it to clear their head of their frustration. "No . . . Osajyin and Gerseti were more than worth it," Rin reassured the Leaf Pokémon despite his being unphased by the earlier comment. "I should have tried harder to bring your Power down first, but what's done is done." Noting the Phanpy had taken Rin's minature monolog as the opportunity to stalk off again, Rin dove in front of it like a Herdier using Take Down. Falling with an audible oof, Rin huffed out their next command. "Hurry, Osaja, before it tries getting away again: Razor Leaf!" Rin hoped this attack would be different, but with the Phanpy's Defense Curl up, and Rin right in front of it, that may be enough to throw him off again. Still, Rin had total confidence in their Bayleef. His individual winning streak won't be beat yet!

Aw that's so cute! Hope you two had a good time~ :D

@Balthazar007
That Phanpy's rolls was still ridiculously higher than mine, but just so you know: it shouldn't have gotten STAB for Defense Curl. Phanpy actually never learns any Ground Type moves for some reason.

Lmao, apparently the RNG Deities see fit to humble me even further.

I STILL HAVE FAITH IN YOU RNG DEITIES
I STILL BELIEVE!

Edit: sorry, didn't mean to send the message yet
...
Does this also mean that moves that Raise a Stat and Deal Damage like Power-Up Punch would deal damage and just add the effects on the next turn only then? Or would it be like healing moves and be cut 50/50?

What about Multi-Hit attacks?

Rin took a deep breath having reached the peak one of the last few hills between them and Sunsay. They'd ran off the path several times on the hunt for Sentrets who Rin just knew were snickering at them specifically over their failure at catching their evolved form. Once they crested that hill though, it was all worth it. Not too far in the distance, Rin could see the roofs of buildings. Sunsay was in sight! Taking off at their top speed Rin had almost run right past the wild Phanpy on the road! Nearly falling flat on their face with how fast they spun back around, Rin hastily reached for Osajyin's pokéball. Apparently the Phanpy thought that if it just inched away long enough it would look boring, and Rin would lose interest, but this just bought Rin enough time to aim their throw. With a strike of white light, Osaja grew right in front of the Long Nose Pokémon. Its path now blocked on both sides, there was only one way it was getting out of this predicament. "Osajyin, let's put that advantage to use! Use Razor Leaf!" Dramatic finger point and all, Rin was ready to raise Osajyin's winning streak. This would be easy.

It won the roll by 16. By these new rules, it may have won the roll by even more. ... BUT it would not have done anything to your Totodile THAT turn.

@Balthazar007

Okay, well now you've lost me. You say that the effects won't take hold until the next turn, but then you also say the roll would've been even more in the Larvesta's favor..? So it effects its roll on the same turn, but effects my roll on the next turn?
