lol I've only battled Regi's on PBR for the most part.
no one actually pays attention to them!
Agh, the two biggest bummers for me (amongst many positives) is that Alakazam and Gardevoir both were left without vacuum wave. Alakazam especially is now without anything to differentiate itself from the other psychic types.
I'm sure others have said this, but I've been gone for the weekend.
Also my two cents on Outrage. Salamence and Flygon are the only two of the new users we will actually see making use of Outrage. Kingdra might, but it now suffers from moveslot syndrome considering it needs to set up it's own rain.

Cuz it would be broken with Iron Fist? >.>
Yet Kingdra doesn't need 4 moveslots anyway. Rain Dance, Waterfall, Outrage, Filler. Thats all he needs.
Actually, in Japan, "sucker Punch" is called Ambush, so therefore Iron Fist does not power it up (trust me it's been tested)

I don't think broken is the correct description. I mean is Technician broken? Is Sky Uppercut with Iron Fist broken. No and no. I t would just make Hitmonchan a more viable offensive Fighting type.
So WTF is Sky Uppercut in Japanese? It gets Iron Fist boost... Game Freak pisses me off....

Sucker Punch IS NOT a Punch Move.
It's called "Ambush" in Japan, people. That's why the punching Pokemon doesn't get it. Even if it did, Iron Fist WOULD NOT Boost it.
Also, note how Pokemon like Ariados and Victreebel get it.
Edit: Beaten. Thouroughly.
I hate NoA more. Changing the names of Moves/Pokemon drastically, adding much confusion (Like Female Mr. Mime, Ampharos not getting Tail Glow, ect.)
Yeah, sucker punch is actually quite a common expression in the English language to describe a sudden blow or a cheap shot. No 'punching' is implied in the term at all.
What the hell does Starmie learning Heat Wave?
It doesn't. That was a typo.
Anyone check Breloom/Shroomish, Breloom could use Superpower since it doesn't have Close Combat, and maybe Thunderpunch would be nice to allow itto have Poison Heal and Thunderpunch on the same set.
Why are people getting soo excited over the idea that Breloom gets Poison Heal + ThunderPunch now? Stone Edge + Seed Bomb provides better coverage, but then again, I guess that would be nice for a CB set. Superpower / ThunderPunch / Seed Bomb / Stone Edge could work. I still think his biggest assett over other fighting types is his 100% sleep move, even more so now that Gallade's Hypnosis has lower accuracy.
If you read the first page instead of post....you'll find Breelom
People please read the first page before posting for each pokemon...or we'll have pages of question about pokemon that already are posted
o' sorry. =[
Who the hell connects pokemon with hitler? that's just ludicrous =_=
Well, I guess it got Vacuum Wave. Thank you very much. And yeah, Gunk Shot on Infernape makes me laugh.
well shaymin would use earth power against registeel, unless it has magnet rise. Even with a modest nature though, specs earth power has a chance of not 2HKOing registeel. registeel really is a 100% counter (unless skymin gets heat wave which has a high chance of 2HKO with specs)
