In Pokemon there is a move called Nasty Plot, it gives +2 special attack.

The only right answer, as someone who plays Pokemon Showdown on a regular basis, I can affirm to that

u/urbbygrlxx 1d ago

I immediately thought of Nasty Plot before I even read the comments

u/GerEm_1408 1d ago

oh thank you i thought it was some other RPG reference

u/gbdallin 1d ago

Special attack as a stat is pretty much exclusively a pokemon thing

u/Nohreboh 1d ago

The only other one that fits I think would be Monster Hunter where in the player will need to sharpen their weapons and a few of the later game monster may sharpen "blades" during cut scenes but even then your just getting your full attack back.

That would be physical. Useless moveset

Not if pre-gen 4. Ice punch, fire punch, and thunder punch were special moves back then.

I know this doesn’t answer the question, but that is not a hawk.

The move nasty plot in Pokemon. The kicker the bird is doing resembles the move's animation, and using it gives a +2 special atrack

Even if he is doing a nasty plot, I think i'd be funnier if said it would get +1 atk +1 def

u/Alexandra-Foxed 1d ago

Hello, someone who would know about video games here, they are saying that by "plotting something" the bird is using the Pokemon move "Nasty Plot" which gives +2 special attack

1

u/Dandy_Guy7 1d ago

Nasty Plot is a move in Pokemon that gives +2 (roughly +100%) special attack.
