Snorlax using harden is so funny cause they're not like the other mons that have a hard shell or something they would literally just go 'hnggggggg'
@BelugaTheHutt Жыл бұрын
"Harden" is not really the greatest work of the NOA translation team. Other translators have provided the translation of "Stiffen", as a more accurate representation of the original Japanese name of the move. It's much more understandable for a Snorlax to stiffen than to harden, outside of the famous Snorlax mating season.

My favorite part is moves with adverse affects you'd never notice under usual circumstances. Such as gust & air cutter being able to hit pokemon using the move fly. Or that when triple battles were a thing Dragon Pulse is the only non flying type move I know of that can attack the all the way across the field. So if your lucario(at least in my usual case) is on the left side of the field you can smack that pokemon on the opponents right(your perspective.) Which makes positioning more strategic & fun so you can just randomly dodge moves that wouldve been sent your way then retaliate

I used to run a team based around sacrificing everything for more power, featuring Belly Drum Marowak and Guts Ursaring, as well as Shell Smash Clamperl with Deep Sea Tooth. Since the entire strat required free turns so you could boost with a move that made you even more vulnerable and then attack with a base speed less than 60, one of my supporting options was prankster volbeat. Prankster t-wave and encore paired nicely with u-turn to try and get some free switches into something that now slower and had a 25% chance to do nothing at all, but when I went to fill out the 4th slot I realized that roost mostly served to waste everyone's time on this type of team. So I scrolled into those "usually useless moves" and there it hit me. Instead of spamming roost while Volbeat was overstaying it's welcome in front of an already paralyzed pokemon, I could do what it was truly meant to do and actually further the goal of facilitating the legendary Clamperl sweep upon its demise, and that is the story of how I came to run prankster Flash. (Which sadly I recently discovered can not be repeated with Ursaluna, as GameFreak pried it away from everyone in the game, including my poor firefly.)

One thing I like about Pokemon Masters is how it makes usually useless moves into very helpful moves in Masters due to changing from 1 v 1 turn based to 3 v 3 gauge based Tackle and Gust, 1 gauge cost each, thus can be used to let a partner Pokemon use a 3 or 4 gauge attack more frequently Growl and Leer, 1 gauge cost each, provides debuff to all three opponents whilst still being able to attack, as well as all the 1 gauge benefits Even weather setting moves are more valuable in Masters than weather upon entry, simply because able to set weather at least twice is still more than setting it once

By forcing you to sac your "Obviously better pokemon" while keeping your "Obviously better pokemon" in the back. You do not "handle" porygon traditionally, you do not simply "kill" it and be done with it. Most of the time its going to give the opposing player psychological damage in the form of beaning the top 3 normals despite all odds and logic.

i really wanna see a custom tournament that has "usually useless moves" as the only ones available
@FraserSouris Жыл бұрын
I remember there was a tournament like that and Garchomp did well with bulldoze since that counted as a “usually useless move”

I like to think using the phrase "A Mewtwo Ditto" for a mirror matchup was specifically added to make people who were only half paying attention tab back in and go "wait what'd he say? huh? oh"

“The serotonin button” as a descriptor for Explosion will stick with me until my grave. Really funny stuff across the board here, man, just stumbled across this video and it goes almost as hard as a niche gen 1 OU snorlax set

Porygon can't be paralyzed by body slam and critically recover has twice as much pp as soft boiled. Soft-boiled has less pp than body slam and the same as eq, recover has more than both.

I’ve used quick attack leek sirfetched in natdex. It’s not good, but it makes people not switch out low health threats after first impression stops working. I had the duck to kill Ghold, before realizing it was banned from natdex.
