Why do you people think Ice Punch is good against Gliscor? It's supereffective, yea, but Gliscor has major defense. It'll come close.

Adamant 252 Atk Life Orb Lucario V 252/252 HP/DEF Impish Gliscor: 74.29% - 87.57%
+2 Adamant 252 Atk Life Orb Lucario V 252/252 Impish Gliscor:146.33% - 172.03%

Just with Life Orb it does ~75% and with one Swords Dance (and Life Orb) it's a sure OHKO.

Magnet Rise is called Electrolevitate in the Japanese version; no mention of actual magnets. That's why Luxray can have it and it still makes sense (ps: Electrode already gets it ;D)

Also, this is why Ampharos never got Tail Glow; it's called FIREFLY LIGHT in Japan. FIREFLY LIGHT (it's how Manaphy uses it without a tail).

Oh, ok. Now that makes sense.

But Heat Wave Crobat? What's Heat Wave in Japanese? Hot Fart?


And thanks for the info Metal Force, I'll have to watch it when I use my Gliscor...


But who knows, half the Pokemon we use now might not even see the light of day in about 4 - 6 months. = /

Well it somewhat makes sense since crobat could make the heat with its wings or something ^^.

I believe it's something like Hot Ash (not that Ash >_>) or something like that. Lol I'm using my blurry memory as my Japanese friend told me something like this a few years ago when he had Heat Wave on his Moltres.

Pretty sure it's just Heat Wave in the Japanese version, but I imagine it's created by... blasting hot air at the opponent. Flapping wings? It gets Air Cutter, so why not?

But assigning logic to why Pokemon get certain moves is a fool's game, really :/

EDIT: Jibaku beat me to it. Okay Hot Ash makes a lot less sense XD

I agree with him, I mean come on, whats the japanese name for clamp on a gorebyss? No mouth tail and head or shell grasper???
 
Draco Meteor makes sense on mixed Salamence because that's the only attack he uses his special attack for; Luxray pretty much always uses his attack stat on offensive sets. Sure it's alright on a choice band but.. that's it.

Pokemon will never cease to amaze me with its wackiness.

How can you say Super Power is "meh" for reducing the attack stat when Draco Meteor does the same thing? I don't care if it reduces the attack stat if I can just switch out. Choice band Luxray are go.

Don't forget Superpower drops Defense in addition to attack. Mispredict the attack and it's a free KO for your opponent.

Is anyone working to extract location data?
