Disguise Da Limit! (338)

[Chris]

Had Skitty taken the attack head on, it would've been knocked backwards considering it was attacked the moment it came out. But that doesn't seem to be the case:

O_o What? Your Skitty must have been pretty weak if that happened. I only train Skitty's in the game, and all of them can hold their own if given the right moveset.

[Chris]

I'm with you Al, no Skitty can survive that sort of thing. My Skitty, at Lv. 15, was critically injured by a Lv. 5 Pidgey. Skitty's Defenses are so low that there's no way it can survive even one of those attacks. Normally, Skitty are cute, but this one is just too godly in this contest. And, while regular battles may not have the power of regular ones, that doesn't mean that they have it easier. Hyper Beam is still powerful enough to 2HKO. And Skitty shouldn't have been able to take a Focus Punch from a Tyrogue, let alone a Dusclops(although the Attack power difference is not that high, really).

Ugh. Game stats have no place in the anime. Were it true, every attack done by everyone against Dusclops would've done very little to it.

While I agree Skitty should have been knocked out at least by the second Hyper beam, why are you comparing it to your Skitty in the games? If you Lvl 15 Skitty was fainted by a Level 5 Pidgey, perhaps yours has crap DV's and a bad Nature. May's Super Skitty seems to be stronger than a Delcatty in some ways. If it knew Thunderbot and Flamethrower as well it'd be godly in the anime.

But it was taken head on. It didn't have time to react, because, as you said, the attack was administered as soon as they popped out of their Poke Balls. May didn't even command a "Brace yourself!" type of maneuver.

Even Will-O-Wisp looked like it did more damage to Skitty than Focus Punch.

[Chris]

Thing is that had Skitty actually really taken a severe blow from the attack, it'd have flown backwards considering the direction it came out of its ball. Seemed more like it was using its head (no pun intended >_>) to lessen the blow.

The reason for Will-o-Wisp doing more damage was because it was little damage piling up considering the amount of ghostly fireballs there were that were surrounding Skitty.

*Sigh*

Yeah, because if it doesn't fly backwards then its clearly unphased by a 300 power attack! Even the points don't lie!

NOT KOed. There's a difference<<;;. BTW, FYI, my Skitty's IVS are ALL between 17 and 23(level too low to determine it exactly), except for Speed, which is higher, but that's irrelevant. And, as far as I know, it being the Box Skitty doesn't make it weaker than your hand captured Skitty. Any Skitty will be severely injured by a Hyper Beam, anime or ingame, and two will take it out without effort. Maybe if it were a Delcatty, there'd be different odds, but as Skitty..........Nope, not gonna work. Even if by some miracle it had survived, Focus Punch would've taken it down. I'm just saying that the anime makes stuff too easy for lil Skitty, and that they needed to put some more effort into this Contest.

[The Big Al]

And it's because you constantly ***** about the un*****able. Regular battles are not the same as Contests. Contests don't exactly rely on attacks to have full power. And we could see Dusclops' Hyper Beams were no where near as strong as say a Gyarados' considering those normally cause explosions.

I'll "b****" if want to. You're just being unreasonable. Althrough Dusclops isn't an offensive power house, it's attack power is far greater than Skitty's defenses. I also didn't see any attempt to defend against the first Focus Punch. Also, Dusclops blew away Roselia (a very well trained Roselia I might add) with two or three attacks that weren't nearly as strong as the attacks used on Skitty. Yet Skitty was not only still conscious but had the energy to execute two Blizzard attacks.

[Psychic Venusaur]

Skitty beating Dusclops really ticked me off. I was hoping the whole time that Timmy and Dusclops would win. I don't understand how Skitty won. It really is a super Skitty. All that onslaught and it was still standing?

How could a Skitty's gust blow away a Dusclops' Hyper Beam?

What also annoys me is how May used Beautifly and Skitty in Pokemon Contests before Torchic. Right now, Torchic isn't getting much attention.

I liked how Timmy's mom saw the light. That poor Poochyena...

Jessie was going prety good. 28.5 in the first round, more than anyone else. She did that without cheating too. I wish she didn't go all berserk later on. I wish Jessie could actually win a contest, without cheating too.

I'm sure whatever that Blastoise did was better than juggling three orange balls slowly with a tail and an unsuccessful Blizzard. Although it did seem sort of like just a Rain Dance or something.

In this episode and the previous one, there were three different Poochyena.

I still loved this episode, but I wish Dusclops won 9/10

[The Big Al]

THANK YOU, at least some people agree with me.

I almost forgot all the great acts that should have out done Skitty but didn't. Why did they give that blasted kitten an unreasonable bout of luck?     Spoiler:

I'm glad May gets her clock thoroughly cleaned in the next contest.

she loses in the next contest and her Combusken participates in a Contest.

I agree that Skitty's win over Dusclops was strange, but it's not like small weak-looking Pokemon haven't suddenly defeated large, powerhouse opponents before in the anime, and I'm not just talking about Pikachu.

Jessie, I mean Jesslana did very well in this contest, and she didn't cheat once. But she lost.

It's weird how Dusclops kept using Will 'o Wisp, in this episode and the last, but it never actually hit and burned the opponent, if I'm not mistaken.

I rate this episode 7/10.

[Phantom_Bugsy]

OH MY GOD. I loved this ep.

Serious eye candy in the form of a troubled boy ONCE AGAIN. I love it.

<3's Kimimaro-sama (or..."Timmy", wtf...dumb name, cute boy. Like usual.)

[Heracross]

It's weird how Dusclops kept using Will 'o Wisp, in this episode and the last, but it never actually hit and burned the opponent, if I'm not mistaken.

It did hit Skitty a few times, but the effect of the attack was never mentioned. We were pretty much left to assume that it just did damage like any other attack.

[Princess May]

That was a pretty cool contest. Skitty is one tough cookie!

wow, you must be a SERIOUS May hater to say that.

[The Big Al]

Wow, you just noticed that? Here I've been trying to make opinions crystal clear for everyone.

EDIT: Back on topic, did that first Blizzard on Dusclops actually fail or was it the fact that Dusclops has such thick skin that it didn't care.

It failed.

Oh. Well they should have shown Will o' Wisp burning someone at least once so they could show the viewers that that's what it's supposed to do. Maybe they'll just show that attack later.

[The Big Al]

It did hit Dusclops, it just didn't do anything to it. I guess it was a failed attempt. (Note: do not count on uber attacks.)

It would have been funny if Skitty got burned and went bonkers and starting running like crazy because of the burn.
