As the move's power goes up, so does the cost of making it a spread move. Stone Edge is strong but it's just damage, so 25XP. Giga Drain healing from up to six foes? That's massively powerful. Maybe it could heal from just one foe and damage the rest? 15XP.

Sludge Bomb 42XP.

Upgrade Future Sight to a Charge Move (it wouldn't have protection) for 35XP. Might also have roleplay implications.

You can estimate the costs of the steel type moves, just add 10 or 20 to the normal cost of the move depending on how strong it is.

Doubling up on really good abilities is gonna be at least 60XP. That combo should probably be even more.

I like the idea of Huge Power making Str Surprises cheaper, I think I'll apply that for free.

Fair prices overall, mate! I'm perfectly fine with Giga Drain only healing from one foe, though the question remains whether it'll be one random foe, the one it did the most Damage to, or I have to select a main target. I'm probably going to start working on upgrading Mikey's Stone Edge for now on, since it's his main coverage Move and it can stand to be a bit more potent/reliably. How much would an 1 Accuracy Boost to it cost by itself?

Probably going to stick with the method we used to determine how much a Pokemon can learn Egg Moves/Non-Movepool Moves then for Steel Move Additions, then, as that's a pretty simple and fair method of going about that.

If you think it Drizzle + Absorb should be more, just raise it by another 15 - 30 XP, mate. It's not like Posei has much to spend his hard earned XP on anymore, besides upgrading his Moves, learning new Ones from his past forms, or just Attribute/Specialty Surprises. Make it worthwhile for you AND the players!

Nice! How would that work for Mega Mawile, though? Would they have to be Mega Evolved in order to gain the benefits, or once they have access to their Mega Form can it be assumed they just get the cost reduction anyway for convenience's shake?
