Kinda inspired by Pokken and other tag fighting games with assist mechanic.
There are at least 18 Assist Moves, 1 for each type and some special ones. They are executed in addition to your normal move.
When using Assist move, it calls upon a pokemon with said type from your party to do an assisting move.
All moves have "A-", like "A-Fire Bullet", "A-Water Pillar", etc.
There are also specific pokemon Assist-Move, e.g. if you have grass-fire-water starters , Latias-latios, 2 different eevelutions, Nidoking-Queen, Gardevoir-Gallade, etc.
They don't deal a lot of damage, 40BP at most. Although some special ones are also status moves.
