Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread: Mach 3 (Competitive Discussion)

Does Alakazam have Vacuum Wave?
Only Poliwrath does on the list.

After taking a close look at this this just seems to be the teams possibly encountered there at the Battle Frontier...

So... That means that there is a HIGH probability a lot is omitted and needs to be played through and tested.
 
Because I'm feeling nice I'm going to double check the whole list in the file for all of those moves at the beginning of the thread. Sorry if stuff is learned by Lv. up 'n such, but I keep on finding stuff in the file...

Trick - Drifblim

This has probably already been mentioned, but would trick activate Drifblim's unburden ability? It might have limited use gaining speed on switches while giving the other Pokemon something detrimental or useless.

Gengar also gets Trick, but that's been mentioned a lot.

Has anyone tested codes from d/p on platinum? (Does this fall under asking for codes? I'm not I'm just wondering if they work... :3)

Weezing. Gunk Shot. Please.

Seriously, Screech Weezing has been working so well for me, only that Weezing itself can't really abuse it....
 
Does anyone know if Celebi gets Zen Headbutt/Seed Bomb? A viable SD set would be awesome.

Also any word on Azumarill getting Superpower/Ice Punch?

Hey I just caught an Azumarrill actually, I can check after I beat Cynthia.

@Sikh- :( I thought I remember Chou saying they do work.... Chou if you see this, confirm/deny please :)
 
Azumarill should get Ice Punch because it learned it last gen, and can get Pal Park'd in DP. I think it gets Super Power but I'm not positive

I think people should still check all the tutors for Mewtwo and Vespiquen. =)

*subliminal message: DO IT NOW. PLEASE.*
 
Ooh, Tangrowth getting Synthesis is really cool. I feel sorry for anyone who soft reset in XD for a good Morning Sun Tangela, though.

It's really cool you're taking the time to write all those up, MythTrainerInfinity, I for one appreciate your work.
 
No probs, dude, its part of my dedication. You can speculate all you want, but let's get the facts straight, first.

And... phew that took awhile, hope that helps y'all bit.
 
I must know. Somebody HAS to find out.

Can Shedinja learn Endeavor??? For that matter, what Pokemon are compatible with the Endeavor MT?

Since Combee, Burmy, and Kricketot are supposedly compatible with move tutors, what about Weedle, Magikarp, Kakuna, Caterpie, and Wynaut? Or Wobbuffet?

Sheddy learning endeavor would be the most broken thing ever... Especially with that nice Atk it has and Shadow Sneak.

Nothing on the list.
 
Endeavor Shedinja would be gamebreaking, coupled with Shadow Sneak.

Endeavor on the switch, then SS. >__>



What's the point of a Vacuum Wave tutor if they only give it to Poliwrath, who has no use for it?

Yeah, especially when Shedinja gets a free switch-in on bulky waters in all tiers.
Just make sure enemy T-tar/Hippo/Obama is dead and Rotom, maybe Drifblim, in UU.
 
So, I guess that Cherrim hasn't gotten any other moves Besides Synthesis as Tutor Moves?
I feel horrible but I guess that I can now move on with in XD since Morning Sun Tangela is no longer as valuable anymore except for Morning Sun over Synthesis Purposes :(
