Move Changes - Blaze Black (2024)

General Changes

The attributes of all moves (Power, Accuracy, PP, Effect chance, priority) are updated to match Sword and Shield, with both DLCs.

• Charm and Moonlight are now Fairy-type as in Sword and Shield.

Legends: Arceus and 'Dexit' have introduced a high degree of fragmentation towards move Effects in the main series.

• See 'Redux Move Modifications' below for more information on how we've tackled that!

Move Replacements

To help modernise the game, the following moves have been replaced with moves from later generations.

Type Changes

Certain moves have had their type in future generations, or many have been changed to 'non-canon' variations. These are listed below.

Move	Old Type	New Type
Charm		[!]
Covet		[!]
Cut		[!]
Moonlight
Rock Climb		[!]

Redux Move Modifications

As of late, the Pokémon series has become decently fragmented across different titles when it comes to moves.

• With Legends: Arceus came a further fragmentation of move effects across the Pokémon series.
• As of writing, it's hard to know what will carry over to the 'mainline' series (think Stealth Rock changes etc).
• This makes updating moves to current standards fairly tricky, so we've gone with a 'selective' approach - e.g. just take the bits we like!

Below are all the changes made to moves from vanilla Gen V in Redux. There are three different categories of changes:

• Changes made by Gamefreak in the mainline series of games (XY -> Sword and Shield). These changes are unmarked.
• Changes decided by the hack creators [!]
• Changes implemented based on Legends Arceus [L:A]

With that out of the way, here are the changes to moves made in Redux:
