Atlantic Ruler

Short Description

Aquatic Dweller + Swift Swim.

Extended In-Game Description

Empowers the user with mastery over aquatic environments. Water-type moves gain a 1.5x power boost, allowing for devastating oceanic attacks. During rain, the user's Speed is multiplied by 1.5x, enabling swift underwater maneuvers. This dual enhancement makes the bearer a true ruler of the seas.

Mechanics

Components

• Aquatic Dweller: Boosts the power of Water-type moves by 1.5x
• Swift Swim: Boosts Speed by 1.5x in rain

Key Details

• Does NOT add Water type (unlike the base Aquatic ability)
• Both effects are always active when conditions are met
• Water move boost applies regardless of weather
• Speed boost only applies during rain weather
• Breakable: Can be suppressed by Mold Breaker and similar abilities

Implementation

constexpr Ability AtlanticRuler = {
    .onOffensiveMultiplier = AquaticDweller.onOffensiveMultiplier,
    .onStat = SwiftSwim.onStat,
    .breakable = TRUE,
};

Strategic Value

• Excellent on Water-type Pokemon for STAB synergy
• Rain teams benefit from both offensive and speed boosts
• Non-Water types can use this for surprise Water coverage
• Pairs well with Rain Dance or Drizzle teammates

Notable Interactions

• Stacks with STAB for 2.25x damage on Water moves from Water-types
• Speed boost in rain can help outspeed threats
• Vulnerable to abilities that ignore other abilities
• Both effects function independently - you get the Water boost even without rain
