What do you guys think?
 
Ultimate Judgement - 140 damage, 100 accuracy, 5 pp and does super effective damage on any time. Normal type, special attack and belongs to Arceus.
 
Those are pretty cool, though a few of them seem a bit over powered, namely Potshot(hyper-priority with 75 BP?) and Peek-a-Boo (especially in game, you could spam this to death with a fast Ghost-Type). I really like Thunder Hammer(though personally I think it should be called Mjolnir :p), but Blizzicain sounds a bit like a buffed Blizzard to me. Poison Ivy seems pretty neat, and I think Gigs Flash should have a 50% recoil, like the other super strong recoil attacks, but again, that's just me.
