5th Gen Move/Ability/Item Updates Project
This project is designed to begin work on the less-documented areas of work, namely the moves, abilities, and items. Descriptions for all the newly introduced elements from the 5th Generation need to be written, as well as updating all of those elements from past generations that have seen mechanics changes. That's a lot of work to do, so I'm hoping you'll all try to help out.
The first thing to do is to start writing descriptions as follows. All element pages require three parts, with additional parts for specific elements. The [SHORT DESC] part is the part that will go in the organisation table, and is a simple, short half-sentence that summarises the element. For organisational purposes they are collected here:
Please implement the above short description under the [SHORT DESC] tag for your element.As for [LONG DESC], this is the part that will actually show up on the page for what you are writing about. All elements require a Description and a section on Competitive Use. The Description is simply an elongated discussion of mechanics pertaining to that particular element – you should aim to include everything relevant. For example, if writing about Thunder Wave, you can omit that it cannot hit Ground-types and those with Electric-type absorption abilities, as that is true of all Electric-type moves. However, it should be mentioned that Confuse Ray can hit Normal-types, as you would not expect that to happen by the same logic. Clearly, some elements will require far more in-depth description than others. Use your best judgement and the BW Research thread when writing these.
The Competitive Use part deals with the competitive side of that particular element. It should usually be of no more than a paragraph or so in length, though of course this may require extending for exceedingly important game elements. You should aim to make more general statements about the element and the situations it would be used in – specific examples should be kept to a minimum, unless they are excellent illustrations of usage, or else represent a different way of looking at that element. An example would be Technician Scyther with Aerial Ace, or Rock Head Aggron with Head Smash. Please do note that if a game element is not even vaguely competitive in any sense (eg. Dowsing MCHN) it does not require a Competitive Use section.
After this, different sections become required for different elements. For example, moves will require a related moves section, which deals with equivalent moves from other types, as well as moves of the same type or function which have very slightly different properties, making either useful from a competitive standpoint. Likewise, abilities need a related abilities section, for abilities that directly outclass them or that are identical or similar, though the former is unlikely. Lastly, items will need a location section.
Examples of each are below:
To reserve, simply post in the thread and update it with the completed version once you have finished. I will then check it and add it to the OP.
If you don't want to bother typing out the format by hand, then here's a nice, easy C+Pable version for all three:
Note that if you think I have missed any elements that need including or updating, or I have forgotten to update a romanised name to official English, please do let me know.

Zoom Lens Raises accuracy by 20% if the holder moves after the target.Please implement the above short description under the [SHORT DESC] tag for your element.As for [LONG DESC], this is the part that will actually show up on the page for what you are writing about. All elements require a Description and a section on Competitive Use. The Description is simply an elongated discussion of mechanics pertaining to that particular element – you should aim to include everything relevant. For example, if writing about Thunder Wave, you can omit that it cannot hit Ground-types and those with Electric-type absorption abilities, as that is true of all Electric-type moves. However, it should be mentioned that Confuse Ray can hit Normal-types, as you would not expect that to happen by the same logic. Clearly, some elements will require far more in-depth description than others. Use your best judgement and the BW Research thread when writing these.
The Competitive Use part deals with the competitive side of that particular element. It should usually be of no more than a paragraph or so in length, though of course this may require extending for exceedingly important game elements. You should aim to make more general statements about the element and the situations it would be used in – specific examples should be kept to a minimum, unless they are excellent illustrations of usage, or else represent a different way of looking at that element. An example would be Technician Scyther with Aerial Ace, or Rock Head Aggron with Head Smash. Please do note that if a game element is not even vaguely competitive in any sense (eg. Dowsing MCHN) it does not require a Competitive Use section.
After this, different sections become required for different elements. For example, moves will require a related moves section, which deals with equivalent moves from other types, as well as moves of the same type or function which have very slightly different properties, making either useful from a competitive standpoint. Likewise, abilities need a related abilities section, for abilities that directly outclass them or that are identical or similar, though the former is unlikely. Lastly, items will need a location section.
Examples of each are below:
[SHORT DESC]
10% chance to paralyze opponent.
[LONG DESC]
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>This move deals damage and has a 10% chance to paralyze the target. No other effect.</p>
<h2>Competitive Use</h2>
<p>Thunderbolt is the most powerful special Electric-type attack with 100% accuracy, which makes it a staple STAB move on many different Electric-type Pokemon, who typically have high Special Attack. It is also widely available as a Technical Machine, and thus is an extremely common coverage move for many Pokemon. Most notably, it pairs with Ice Beam to form "Bolt-Beam", a two-move combination that covers every Pokemon in the game for at least neutral damage, besides Shedinja, Magnezone, Rotom-F, Rotom-H, and Volt Absorb Lanturn. The fact that Thunderbolt has relatively high power for almost no negative side-effects whatsoever only serves to improve its case. Thunderbolt is a move to make good use of.</p>
<h2>Related Moves</h2>
<p>Thunder is a much more powerful option with a higher chance of paralysis. However, it also has much lower accuracy and fewer PP.</p>
<p>Discharge is a less powerful option with a higher chance of paralysis.</p>
<p>Flamethrower is a Fire-type equivalent.</p>
<p>Ice Beam is an Ice-type equivalent.</p>
<p>Surf is a Water-type equivalent.</p>

Prevents critical hits.
[LONG DESC]
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>This ability prevents the Pokemon from receiving a critical hit. It has no effect outside of battle.</p>
<h2>Competitive Use</h2>
<p>This ability is situationally useful, but suffers as there is very little that it can really accomplish outside of being a useful little perk of using the Pokemon. Another problem with it is its relatively low distribution; only three Pokemon, Kabutops, Armaldo, and Drapion, receive this ability outside of the Dream World. Generally speaking Kabutops will almost always prefer Swift Swim, though Armaldo and Drapion can perhaps find some use of it. Marowak receives it from the Dream World, and certainly it is more useful than Lightningrod, as well as Rock Head should you not be using Double-Edge.</p>

<p>Shell Armor is an exact equivalent with different distribution.</p>

Changes the type of Techno Blast to Fire.
[LONG DESC]
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>This ability causes the Techno Blast move to become Fire-type. It does not change it in any other way, however, and has no effect on a Pokemon without this move.</p>
<h2>Competitive Use</h2>
<p>Only two Pokemon in the game can use Techno Blast, and the only one who can actually make use of it is Genesect. However, you really shouldn't be using this item even on Genesect, for a number of reasons. For one thing, holding Burn Drive means that Genesect cannot then hold a boosting item, and will miss the kick from Life Orb or Choice Scarf dreadfully. Furthermore, Genesect has access to Flamethrower, which is more powerful than Fire-type Techno Blast regardless, and does allow you to use Life Orb. Like the other Drive items, you should never use Burn Drive competitively. It is just not worth it.<p>
<h2>Location</h2>
<p>The Burn Drive is received in Pokemon Black if you show Genesect to the Scientist inside the P2 Laboratory on Route 17. It is not obtainable in Pokemon White.</p>
