Sorry. Swords Dance is a TM that Floatzel doesn't already get, so there's pretty much zip chance of this happening.

Heh, if you think SD Kabutops is bad...

 

[Al_Alchemist]

Alright, the number of non-Uber Water types with real fire moves: Slowbro, Slowking, Octillery

Come on. Heat Wave on Suicune needs more love.

Great >.> another thing a certain someone can brag about >.> what about Jirachi he gets icy wind and punches on platinum I feel sad about my SR'ing project now >.>

 

[Jibaku]

Well I'm happy now my Jirachi now gets Ice Punch :D

Pokebeach update

The Pokemon Mansion has received a slight visual update. Instead of a brick wall, it's surrounded by an ornate metal fence. The Trophy Garden remains unchanged. If you talk to the maid who's blocking the east hallway, she'll tell you it's off limits, just like in D/P. If you talk to the maid who's blocking the west hallway, she'll invite you to take the Maid's Tournament Challenge. You can repeat this challenge once a day. The trick is to defeat all five of the mansion's maids in a set number of turns--this number changes with each challenge. The maids all use Clefairy of varying levels, and since they know Endure, beating them on the correct turn can be difficult. If you complete the challenge, your reward is an opportunity to battle Miss Sayaka (presumably Mr. Backlot's daughter). It's not much of a reward, but you do get 5000 Poke for beating her.

Not important really but w/e

A lot of Emerald tutors got imported! (The punching ones!) Woo!

that "beating on certain turns" thing sounds hard. Technician False Swipe Scizor to get them so that they can't Endure correctly?

 

[Tracker]

I was joking about heat wave suicune lol.

I mean not even Celebi could wall that.

what about Ice Beam?

 

[Goodbar]

You could just keep hitting them with offensive moves and prolly win (or does double hit go through?)

 

[ilabb]

Wait a sec, what about that dungeon where you found Giratina in D/P? What became of that now that you catch Giratina somewhere else?

 

[jonniewalkereal]

I think in the smogon services now we need to add

Platinum tutor moves :D

Because no everybody (me i.e :P) are able to have their pokemon tutored :D

With all of these crazy new moves, you don't even know what the hell could pop up. >_>;

Unless I'm missing something, the easiest way to handle this would be sandstream/snow warning to get around the endure.

That's where the Torn World portal is I think, so it still has meaning.

They're Clefairys.

They may have Magic Guard.

Taunt.

I mean, nearly everything outspeeds Clefairies...

Reducing them to 1 HP doesn't prevent them from Enduring correctly. But Sandstream/Snow Warning will do it. DDTar: Dragon Dance prior to the specified turn; Crunch Clefairy on that turn and it will die, Endure or not. :)

Edit: Oops, Magic Guard, AND beaten :(

 

[Dexterity]

New roserade looks cool :X Most of the platinum sprites from what I've seen look much more interesting.

 

[Sudo]

So wait, is Spring Path still in Platinum? My gut says no, but some part of me says it still might be there...

 

[Al_Alchemist]

They're Clefairys.

They may have Magic Guard.

Er... how about its only 5000 pokedollars and who cares??? Also, double hit or bonemerang can eat those clefairys >.>

 

[Lee]

Moves that hit multiple times do not get around Endure.

But who cares, right?

 

[hinode]

...oh, right.

IIRC in D/P trainer Pokemon would always have trait 1 set, which in Clefairy's case would be Cute Charm. They could easily change that in Platinum, though.

ya lol ^^

 

[Age of Kings]

Taunt, OHKO.

End.

 

[ilabb]

Taunt, OHKO.

End.

Just hope you don't have to kill them first-turn.
