Amp Up and pets


Psyonico

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is a bug or if it's intentional, but Amp Up does not seem to work on controller pets, I've used it for a good hour on animated stone and have not seen Discharge once and the hold from his attack doesn't seem to be any longer.

What this team needs is more Defenders

Doesn’t appear to do anything for Henchmen for an MM either.

It’s because electric type moves have no effect on ground type Pokemon. 
 

 

For real though, that sounds like a bug. Good catch! (Gotta catch ‘em all eh?) I’ll see myself out.

I don't know about the Discharge effect, but +Special/Power Boost effects will only buff attributes that are already enhanceable. Animate Stone does not accept Hold Enhancements, which likely means his Seismic Smash cannot inherit the +Hold Duration from Amp Up. It should be able to affect the Stun Duration of his Stone Fist, though.

Powerset Suggestions: Circus Performers | Telepathy | Symphonic Inspiration | Light Affinity | Force Shield | Wild Instincts | Crystallization
Old Powerset Suggestions:  Probability Distortion | Magnetism | Hyper-Intellect

I remember reading Probability Distortion a few months back and thinking it was the best player proposed set I'd ever seen. - Arbiter Hawk 💚

To bump this back up after confirming the issue myself. Amp Up is not impacting pets at the very fundamental level of the proc effect with Knock+Discharge. Fired Amp Up off on each of the pet class tiers for a Demon MM, no result on their abilities or proc bonus. Had another player present and hit them with Amp Up and they successfully triggered the proc repeatedly. These effects were working in the staging release before it moved to the live servers, and now are not. I don't recall seeing a patch note specifically to this effect.
