Metal Bagon Vs. Devoninja, 3v3 at the Rock Column

[devoninja]

According to veekun and the CAP ASB approval staff, Gastly learns Bide as a Gen I TM.

Also, even Bulbapedia says that all pokemon that can learn TMs can learn Bide. (In Gen I)

 

[Son_of_Shadoo]

MB is incorrect. Gastly can learn TMs in Gen 1, thus it can learn Bide by TM. Devoninja's actions are legit. Besides, how many people with the Gengar line use Bide on it? Oh yeah, all of them. I highly doubt they'd all be wrong.

Reffing shortly.

 

[Son_of_Shadoo]

I checked on IRC to make sure, Bide does NOT take indirect damage into account, just so you know.

Devoninja, your last mon and ability please.

 

[devoninja]

Go Go Guts Larvitar.

 

[Metal Bagon]

"Hey it worked."

After checking that Larvitar doesn't have protect I have decided that all out attack is the best course of action.

Earthquake ~ Sand Tomb ~ Earthquake

 

[devoninja]

I just realized this:

Destiny Bond: The Pokemon telepathically joins its soul with the foe's for the remainder of the round. During this time period, if the foe Knocks Out the Pokemon, the foe takes damage equal to their remaining HP (capped at 30.) Chills cannot be used after Destiny Bond in the round.

This would make his chill last round invalid. I suppose he wouldn't struggle, but he wouldn't gain energy either.


Earthquake -> Screech -> Earthquake

 

[Son_of_Shadoo]

I assumed this only applied to the user. And after a quick check on IRC, I can confirm it does only affect the user. So Gible's chill goes ahead.
