Transform

endless variety from one move

Do the legal attacks against emulators and smaller developers count?

...serious now: Surf, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Ice Beam. For simple attacks it's the strongest that you can get without sacrificing accuracy. Surf in special, for being an HM that doesn't suck - because I don't bloody want to have a party of Bidoofs dammit. (I'm OK with having two Tropius though - one to fight, another to help.)

I'm a big fan of Tri Attack even though I've never used it myself.

Episode 4206669 - Mimey Comes to Pound Town

Starring Ash's mom her french Mime

Metronome. The chaos of not knowing what attack is gonna happen is great.

It's why for a fan game I'm still in the planning phases of I plan on having a better version of metronome (name still undecided) that adds all attacking moves, but removes OHKO moves like sheer cold and removes all non-attacking moves. I have plans on making a special option in the intro to make every single pokemon only know this 30PP move.

Seismic Toss, but only Charizard from the anime.

Charizard throwing mo'fuckers is awesome every time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Lick.

As in Haunter's lick from the OG Anime.

Also rest.

... which is apparently a psychic type move?!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Any two part move like dig or fly.

Gardevoir just being so damn stylish that no one could stand to attack them.

Solar Beam^Gen2 is oh so slightly more badass

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

the first Pokemon game i owned was XD on the GameCube, and like any good kid i overtrained my starter and ignored the rest of my team. i evolved Eevee into Flareon and Fire Blast quickly became my favorite move, killing anything and everything in just one shot. it only has 5 PP, though, so things started getting tough once trainers had six Pokemon. i eventually reached the Ground-type boss and never did get farther than that lmao. but my soft spot for Fire Blast still remains!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Splash. Purely thematic and says β€œI can’t take you seriously”

Destiny bond & explosion

Gigaton Hammer (Tinkaton). Special mention to Triple Arrows (Decidueye.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Dig, but I have a soft spot for Fortify because of its digital reticle animation and the hilarity of exposing you to tons of Metapod spamming it in the early stages of the game.

Self-Destruct

Sing.

They just want us humans to have a good long sleep. Who wouldn't want that?

Fury swipes on a normal type. I always come in expecting the minimum but sometimes it pops off and gets all 5 hits.

Everything by onion turtle.
