Auras and its Uses

Post: # 9648Post Tdf88 »

A few select Pokemon are able to see something known as an Aura, and others such as the Gardevoir family are able to sense emotion. These aura are able to do a few things, including creating protective barriers for pixelmon that are able to use them. Dark types, for example, are immune to psychic abilities because of an invisible passive aura surrounding them. Some pixelmon are even able to use their aura energy in attacks. Others still can use Aura to detect the presence of others and their emotional state. What an aura tells a pixelmon about something and an explanation to reading emotion will be explained here.

Auras only provide basic information about a person or a pixelmon. By reading an aura, a Lucario/Riolu will be able to determine what thing that aura belongs to, as in whether it's a pixelmon or a human. They can also distinguish between the auras of some commonly found pixelmon, though rarer pixelmon are harder to determine and legendary pixelmon are nearly impossibly to decipher. Auras will also give a general sense of how powerful a pixelmon can be and a general idea of what emotions they are feeling. However, to avoid meta-gaming, they cannot tell what a player's personality is like. It only determines emotions currently being felt, so it is within the realm of possibility to trick the aura-reader.

The range of the ability to read an aura depends on the experience level of the pixelmon. A Riolu can sense any aura within a range of 3 blocks. An inexperienced Lucario will be able to read auras up to 20 blocks away, and this will gradually improve with experience and leveling until one becomes a master at it, at which point they can sense auras up to 40 blocks away. Upon Mega Evolving, Lucario can sense auras up to 60 blocks away.


As for pixelmon that are able to read emotion without looking at an aura, these pixelmon have evolved to be highly attuned with reading slight cues that give away emotion, such as the tiniest movements in body language, expression, and even down to the pheromones something gives off. However, be sure to avoid meta-gaming. This is not reading someone's mind. A pixelmon can be tricked.



As always, If you have any questions about this or anything else, please be sure to ask myself and/or one of the other Lore Team Members!
