BWS2-14: Cinccino/Snivy [FIRST POST UPDATED 10/1]

[Shraeder]

Would be nice, but that would 8 Pokémon out all at once. I think 6 is the maximum limit of Pokémon out one field (since that's would be the maximum a trainer can have on him and I can see why it would be connected), but I could be wrong.


I guess there can be some random apprentice trainer that Iris's Axew/Emolga battles.



What's wrong with Dragonite? It has the most versatile moveset of anyone's Pokemon on the main cast. Hell it comes off more versatile than Gliscor ever was and it probably is the 2nd most versatile Pokémon of all the anime, after Dragonite of course.

I mean does Dragonite REALLY need a flying type move? I mean Emolga, yes, but Dragonite?

No, it doesn't really need a Flying move with dat coverage B-/

I am afraid you misunderstood. I meant Each participant has 2 pokemon to use so one can be recalled in favour of the other, not both out at once

It doesn't need one no, its moveset is decent enough as is. It's just pokemon not having moves of there types is my pet peeve. The only exception is ground types (and only because there's a lack of decent ground moves available)

I really don't like Oshawott's moveset right now. Hydro Pump and Water Gun is mostly the same

This episode isn't about Oshawott...

[wingzx]

This episode isn't about Oshawott...

if only it was :P but im ok that its a snivy episode she needs new moves/ a evolution

[p96822]

If snviy get no new moves and went back to it trainer will everyone be mad

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

Why would she? She left for a reason.

[Papousse]

I'm thinking that Lilligant shoud have the moves

Hyper Beam
Giga Drain
Solarbeam
Sleep Poweder

Like it, but I prefer these moves...

Quiver Dance
Sunny Day
Petal Dance
Energy Ball

I see. I don't think that's been done before, but yeah, sure that would be nice, a little complicated but it sounds nice.

It's just pokemon not having moves of there types is my pet peeve. The only exception is ground types (and only because there's a lack of decent ground moves available)

If it's something like Leavanny (I don't really count string shot, seems more like a normal type move) or Emolga then I would agree.

But only some Pokémon need to have a move of their type to showcase that particular typing. And even though Dragonite is a flying type, it doesn't really need a Pokémon move showcasing that type because it's moveset is so versatile. Emolga for example, doesn't have a versatile move set, unless one assumes her hidden power is of a different type than (normal).

Ideally a moveset should be at most 1 physical move of one of their types, 1 special move of one of their types, 1 physical/special move of one of their other types (refers to dual type Pokemon), and 1 physical/special type move that can cover types their other moves can't cover. Like Zapdos's Electric/Flying type, fairly useless against a ground/steel (as well as electric Pokémon so perhaps something like rock smash or heat wave.

So using Zapdos it would be something like: Thunder, Drill Peck, Discharge, and heat wave would be a good moveset. But knowing the writers it would be Thunder, Discharge, Drill Peck, and Wild Charge.....boring!

But anyway my point is, some Pokémon don't need moves of their types. For example Gliscor, in 4th gen there was no anime options for it to either have a ground type move or flying type move. Gliscor had to rely on the moves it had, thus Gliscor was versatile enough to not need any ground type moves or flying type moves. Would it have been nice? Yes, but not necessary.

It is disappointing that some Pokémon can be really versatile yet others have such a boring limited move pool. I think Emboar is probably the only fully evolved starter that actually can have a very varied moveset so something like: Flamethrower, Hammer Arm, Scald, and Wild Charge would be really cool to see.

However my ideal moveset formula would be something like: 1 physical move of their type, 1 special move of their type, 1 physical move not of their type, and 1 special move not of their type. Although it depends on the attack stat of the Pokémon. I do agree that at the very least a Pokémon should have at least 1 ranged/special attack even if their sp.attack is horrible.

Status moves do get any favors with me. But depending on the move, it could have a place on my "ideal moveset."

Like it, but I prefer these moves...

Quiver Dance
Sunny Day
Petal Dance
Energy Ball

No Pokémon should have 2 status moves unless it's like Bulbasaur with sleep powder and leech seed, and even then that's pushing.

On top of that you do realize sunny day would be pointless for Lilligant if it didn't have solar beam. Sure there's Chlorophyll and leaf guard, but sunny day would benefit more for fire type Pokémon than Lilligant. Unless you really think Lilligant could sweep a fire type with only petal dance and energy ball.

But evolving could be better, and evolving with new move(s) could be awesome.

Which is why I said even lol. I meant that even if she didn't evolve at least she can have a new move.

I really want Snivy to learn Iron Tail

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

That's like a Pikachu exclusive move. I don't think any Pokemon on Ash's team will be learning that.

[wingzx]

I really want Snivy to learn Iron Tail

i dont think i want anyone else but pikachu to learn it on ashs team if it learns a tail move i hope its aqua tail

[Pokememes]

I really want Snivy to learn Iron Tail

I think that would be cool, not too many main characters have Pokemon with iron tail, all I remember is zoeys glameow

and tyson meowth he wasnt really a main character tho

[Pokememes]

and tyson meowth he wasnt really a main character tho

Yeah he left after the league never to be seen again so I wouldn't count him

[Cresselia92]

I can see Snivy learning Iron Tail only if Pikachu replaces his own for something else (maybe for Brick Break, where he still use his tail while employing a different element?), but the writers aren't smart enough for that. :P

ha ya the writers wont give pikachu a fighting move :P

I'd like that. I can't picture Pikachu using an punching/kicking moves, even though Brick Break is like a karate chop. Seeing him using his tail, would be unique, like Oshawott using his scalchop to block Electric type moves, and Emolga's Volt Switch.

Iron Tail was really overused in Hoenn/Sinnoh iirc.
