Why doesn't X pokemon get Y attack/ability/typing?

[BBQTV]

anyway this

 

[RuNNing Riot]

I think the more rough and cartoony one in the fan art thread was funnier.

Why can't all friggin' Electric types learn Volt Tackle? Except Rotom, that is.

 

[Miamisportsfan45]

If it's stats were swapped around a bit, then it'd be fine. If it had base 95 HP and base 110 Speed, now that would be very nice.

I can't agree with you more. It has a nice heavy physical attack though, that could be useful with a decent movepool. However, it wasn't given one. So special is the way to go for a good movepool. But it has bad base special. Which is unfortunate.

poliwag with double slap


and if geodude floats then why cant it fly?

Poliwag has a tail. It doesn't have to be a hand.

Floating off ground =/= flying.

 

[BBQTV]

i think secretly he's a physic. also dragonair cant learn fly even though it flys

How the Pokemon appears and their Dex entires do not correlate to their abilities.

For example. Garchomp can streamline at the "speed of a jet", but cannot learn Extremespeed.

 

[BBQTV]

in anime. also dragonAIR, someone needs to do something about this. if gamefreak fixes these mistakes i think it would be another reason to want to get this game. i can see how the advertisement would

POKEMON DOING WANT THEIR SUPPOSED TO BE DOING!

Base 95 Special Attack isn't bad, but it isn't amazing.

My friend thought that Flareon could reliably counter Scizor. Oh well, Bullet Punch deals like 50% to his Flareon and Stealth Rock seals its fate. D:

 

[E123-omega]

Flareon need flare blitz, thunder fang, extreme speed, EQ, Stone edge, rock slide, crunch and tons of other moves.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Give it Sacred Fire.

 

[mood4food77]

why does manectric learn flamethrower?

 

[E123-omega]

Because electricity can start fires?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I think he means it in more of a specific reason, since not all Electric-type Pokemon know Fire-type moves.

 

[FAILchion-]

Flareon need flare blitz, thunder fang, extreme speed, EQ, Stone edge, rock slide, crunch and tons of other moves.

No. Just no.

 

[E123-omega]

Why not? What is wrong with rock slide.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Why not? What is wrong with rock slide.

Rock Slide is fine, but Stone Edge...?

 

[E123-omega]

Rock Slide is fine, but Stone Edge...?

Yeah, I guess that is bit much.

 

[MetallicMario]

Earthquake? How in the world can a small cat/dog/whatever-like animal start a massive Earthquake of doom?


Then again, how can any pokemon start a Earthquake...

 

[rockem7]

Then again, how can any pokemon start a Earthquake...

Because Aggron is 794 (I think >.>) pounds of amazingness. I mean, if an average person jumped up and came down with all their force on the ground of their house, something on the wall will probably fall down. Now add about 600 pounds.

 

[Fuelbi]

I thought it was that if you stomped hard enough, you'd end up cracking the ground, which would create an earthquake

Go stomp the ground and let me know how it goes.

Why doesn't Trapinch get Ice/Thunder/Fire Fang?

 

[Fuelbi]

Why doesn't Trapinch get Ice/Thunder/Fire Fang?

I said hard enough

I obviously cannot stomp that hard can I?

 

[Riddle]

Go stomp the ground and let me know how it goes.

****, now I have to explain to my parents why there is a crack in my front yard,

 

[E123-omega]

How can snorelax jump to make an EQ?

 

[Charmander]

How can snorelax jump to make an EQ?

the better question is how could snorlax jump and NOT make an EQ?

 

[:mad:]

An even better question is how can Snorlax jump when he has no knees?

 

[supermarth64]

Actually Snorlax probably just rolls over and causes an Earthquake that way.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

How does rolling cause an earthquake? You're just moving over the surface of the earth, not cracking it or anything. I mean maybe you could cause an avalanche or something, but I doubt you could cause earthquake, no matter how much the thing that you're rolling weighs.

 

[Greenstreet]

If he can stand up, which he can, he can fall down, which considering his weight is enough to cause an Earthquake.

I mean, Wormadam can learn Earthquake, it can't be that hard to do. :D

 

[asianaussie]

Why does Blissey get stealth rock while Flygon doesn't? You can picture Flygon melding rocks out of sand, but Blissey is a giant freaking egg pixie, where the hell does she pull rocks from?

 

[Mic_128]

An even better question is how can Snorlax jump when he has no knees?

Make him do body slam in any of the 3d pokemon games.

 

[E123-omega]

In Pokemon battle revolution, snorlax stands and flails his arm round to make an EQ.

Oh! Now it all makes sense!

SNORLAX FLATULATES TO CREATE EARTHQUAKES!

 

[E123-omega]

Snorlax needs an evolution named fartlax or pooplax.

 

[Charmander]

Snorlax needs an evolution named fartlax or pooplax.

Ex-lax XDDDDDDDDDD
on a serious note, Aero doesnt get head smash T.T

 

[BBQTV]

Blissey eating eggs! and celfable eating eggs!

 

[CaliburChamp]

In pokemon Red and Blue version Machamp used to be able to learn Fissure. The Elite 4 guy Bruno had a Machamp that know's it. Then they gave it No guard ability which makes all its moves 100% accurate, however Machamp can't evade anything and now he can't learn Fissure anymore. Wtf Gamefreak, give Machamp Fissure again. Machamp with Quick Claw and Fissure would ****.

They would have to make a tier above uber, where only machamps fight, with their belts off.

 

[UltiMario]

He doesn't need quick claw when he could use Scarf.

Well, when you weight that much, rolling over to one side could do something.
