Wow. Smogom that it didn't learn Trick. How strange that it still provides a set for it. I tried checking it in the ds games too, and on the movelist checker on Serebii.net, and I couldn't find it learning Trick either. I had to search and find that it was a Platinum move tutor attack. How strange that it isn't listed as a move it can access. I honestly never encountered that before. That sure taught me to check every single possible source next time. Sorry about trying to deny the Trick part, but I honestly didn't see it learning it. I can't wait until I get Platinum so that I can avoid errors like that, since I've never encountered a Tricking Slowbro on Shoddy, and never fought on on my DS or online.
Ah, oh well. Regice and it's Thunderbolt still lets it do the job against your Slowbro (despite Absol being able to do so as well). Even with Trick, it only speeds up the pace of the Thunderbolts. And if you really want me to counter Mantine (again, assuming that you still want to ignore Absol), Regice only takes aroung 60 damage per Choiced Earthquake, while having around 360 hp to use, and Rest+Sleeptalk to use. That being said, Mantine's best offensive option against the earlier posted Regice isn't going to work. And Regice gets a 2 hit kill with Thunderbolts.
So, despite how I was wrong about Trick (miss-informed, which I'll make sure doesn't happen again), Regice still counters both Mantine and Slowbro. (Technically, Absol can as well, since the rules of this thread dictates that it gets it's Critical Hit, and it can kill both Slowbro with NightSlash, and Mantine with StoneEdge).
Again, sorry about the confusion of the Trick move (I was under the assumption of the current Metagame, so I forgot to factor Platinum, which North America isn't getting until March 22, which is about a Month ahead of our Metagame. The Moveset Calculator on Serebii.net didn't say it could use it either, or I wouldn't have made that outlandish claim). I won't make a careless error like that again. But still, Regice can still defeat both Mantine and Slowbro (again, Absol does as well). The next person can counter either one.
I don't feel like a failure for going to 5 different Sources (Smogom's Movelist, Serebii.net's Movelist Calculator, Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Pearl, Pokemon Battle Revolution) and not getting the right information. Those parts of the websites need updating. But I won't make a mistake like that again. And dude, I made 1 mistake about 1 move, and my other points are still valid. In this conversation, you were right 1 time, and I've been right twice. You don't know me at all, so you can't make the judgement of me being wrong multiple times. Again, even with that move, Absol and Regice still make good counters to both Pokemon. So you can get any other comments you want, and lets keep going.
