#178 Xatu used Future Sight and Shadow Ball in the Game-Art-HQ Pokemon Gen II Tribute!
Xatu used Future Sight by KayVeeDee
KayVeeDee draws wonderful stuff since years already (Have a look at her gallery here) but her take on Weepinbell was her first and so far only venture into a GA-HQ Project.
Last year I wrote that I look forward to her next contribution and she did not disappoint us with her takes on Xatu and Heracross!
Future Sight
“Two turns after this move is used, a hunk of psychic energy attacks the target.”
Future Sight is a Psychic move with a huge base power of 120. It can only be learnt by a handful of Pokemon naturally or through egg moves, no TM was provided for this move.
It’s incredibly powerful and can bypass Protect, Detect and Wonder Guard and can even knock out an opponent that has used Endure! Despite this however it cannot take out a Pokemon with a Focus Sash in one hit.
Xatu was the first Pokemon in our project that used the Future Sight!
Xatu used Shadow Ball by LuckyNumber113
Kimberly from the USA is one of the artists that joined GA-HQ in 2017 as a part of the Pokemon Generation II Project. She can draw but as you can see with her take on Xatu, she is also crafting artworks.

Shadow Ball
“The user hurls a shadowy blob at the target. This may also lower the target’s Sp. Def stat”
The Shadow Ball attack was introduced in the Generation II Pokemon games and is a Ghost-Type move that deals not only damage but also has a 20% chance of lowering the opponents Special Defense stats by one stage.
If a Pokemon has the Bulletproof ability they will not be affected by a move such as Shadow Ball.
Five Pokemon are using the Shadow Ball in our Project currently, the first one was Kadabra from Generation I!
“This odd Pokémon can see both the past and the future. It eyes the sun’s movements all day.”
Xatu is the final form of the Natu line and made its appearance in Generation II of Pokemon through Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal. Natu can evolve into Xatu starting at level 25.
It is known as the mystic Pokemon and shares this category with the Hoenn Pokemon, Flygon. It is a very spiritual Pokemon and can meditate at sunrise and not move again until sunset. It is dual-type Psychic and Flying.
In the Pokemon anime a girl called Calista owned a Xatu that helped her predict the future which she announced to her entire village. There is a very wise Xatu in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games that creates a Teleport Gem that can transport the player to the Sky Tower. He can sometimes also be seen shopping in Pokemon Square.
