Unown should know Ancientpower in addition to Hidden Power. I remember in the original GSC, my friend told me that when Unown reached level 100 it learned Ancientpower.

He also told me Ancientpower had a 100% chance to raise all of your stats l_l

I love how friends used to make stuff up :) so fun

My friend told me (when we were arguing about the pronunciation of arcanine - at the age of 9) that his gameboy was a special edition and spoke the name in the Pokedex.

Hax.

Even then it wouldn't be good right?

I mean let's take a pokemon with 30 Att, wouldn't 36 Att be almost as bad?
Well, if you had 6 Unown's in your party and this ability raised every stat of Unown's for each Unown in your party, that's a +6 in every category, so...

Unown's base stats: 48/72/48/72/48/48 Speed last.

At level 100 (Specs Set from smogon)

238/162/132/267/132/195

+6 (due to 6 Unown's, including the original if that counts) = x4 for every stat (bar HP, so)

Attack: 648
Defense: 528
Sp. Att: 1068
Sp. Def: 528
Speed: 780

Ridiculous, no? Even with +1 Unown's capabilities are lulzy.

Bagon and shelgon are pretty adorable, to be fair.

Ampharos doesn't get tail glow, which is ********.

Actually, Cynthia says that Arceus makes eggs appear out of nowhere to Pokemon couples, hence why the DCC is all like 'WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS EGG CAME FROM'.

Anyone ever notice that Tangrowth would be wickedly good with baton pass? 101 subs, swords dance, block, a sleep move, and ingrain all in one pokemon.

This move was probably given to Feebas to make a Milotic more common to have Attract. (Milotic was intended to be top tier of Beauty) Either that, or reverse phycology.

Why can Glalie learn Signal Beam?
Why can't Snorlax learn Shadow Claw?
Why can't Hitmontop learn Drain Punch?

But Milotic could still learn it through the TM just like Feebas.

I don't see the problem of at least taking it away from Feebas until it got to Milotic

Just because something isn't 'beautiful' doesn't mean it cannot learn Attract.

Attraction is used, for us, as an intense liking of someone, right? Usually someone who appeals with with a 'beautiful' look or personality, possibly a blend between the two.

However, in nature, moths and such might appear to be ugly as ****, yet they attract each other via pheromones. Attraction does occur in nearly everything.
