The "Common Attacks & Effects" Compilation
Deciding on your attack's name can be a difficult task when faking. Coming up with something original can be difficult due to the smorgasbord of attacks in the entirely of official TCG. Even then, sometime it is just nice to sit back and use one of the more established effects of the official TCG. Either way, this page is compilation of a vast number of common attack names and effects.
This compilation's wording is for the XY era, however attacks of the same name are typically similar in all eras. This compilation is also not all-inclusive, so if you there is a common attack that you think should be included, fill out the template below and post it in this thread! Please don't suggest attacks that are exclusive to certain Pokémon, such as M Lucario-EX's 'Rising Fist' and Heliolisk's 'Parabolic Spark'.
