Alakazam's Kinesis is still up for a change in RBYPlus. Since we're fixing Flash, Kinesis becomes redundant. Icy and I have come up with two ideas for Kinesis, a Zam exclusive.
A) 90% accurate, psychic type utility, paralyzes the foe (think Stun Spore); allows Zam to paralyze Grounds.
B) 60 base, 100% accurate, psychic type attack, HP stealing move, like MegaDrain/Absorb/etc.

I initially suggested adding the 90% accurate psychic type paralyzing move AND removing Twave, but Icy argued that Zam would seriously suffer from not having a sure paralyzing move. I had to agree. He countered with making it 100% accurate psychic type paralyzing, which I said was too strong as it hits every poke.
1. For me, the happy medium is to allow Zam the option of learning both Kinesis (90% accurate, paralyzes everyone), and Twave, and let the user decide if he wants precision (Twave) or the ability to hit grounds (Kinesis). 90% accuracy is still very precise.
OR
2. Icy wants Kinesis to be a 60 base psychic type leeching move, which has some nice perks. It allows Zam to jump his HP up to above 2hko range from a handful of attacks, and allows him to be attacking while recovering HP. To me it takes big creative license to make Kinesis a HP stealing move, and also I wonder if it will get used with Disable, Reflect, Flash, and Submission available.
Keep in mind that Alakazam has 368 special and 338 speed, and his new Confusion (120) is the strongest special attack in the game.
Frankly, we're both okay with either. We wondered what you all think.
