Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
I've been wondering this for a while now…how exactly is Morphic a deconstruction? Other than the fact that it's set unusually close to real life, of course ;)
I have Sky. I can't get past Dialga's Tower, though.
Hey guys!!! I just figured out an influence for my typing style: WIGGLYTUFF!!!! I'm talking about the one from the Mystery Dungeon Series.
MACHOKE SPAMMY!!! that's funny, 'cause it's the evolution of the only semipermanent team member in my team in Explorers of Sky, and by that I mean one who isn't me or my partner pokemon.
Thanks Mew, I shall proceed to do so hastily.
@Ferb: definetly (is that how you spell it?)!! just maket get burned, and you're good to go. in fact, I have a Breloom named Shroomy that has the poison heal ability. i taught it Facade and gave it a toxic orb. I then proceeded to pwn the battle tower in the Platinum Battle Frontier.
KRICKETOT SPAMMY AGAIN!!!
Does anyone think its a good idea to teach a Heracross with guts ability Facade.
What? I just meant that I get Overly Hyperactive
*sweatdrop* I don't respond well to Whits Castle, and when I say that I mean constipation of doom.
Poliwrath spammy, boo.
Yeah… that's just how I like to type. I also don't respond well to combining chocolate and my ADD meds.
SURSKIT SPAMMY!!
It's 7;46 for me, I'm in EST. mew you seem a little…hyper.
This is Mew. Do not be alarmed. I come in peace. I'm used to the starter names by now, but I'm just saying that Tepig and Snivy are names I usually scrap when I'm coming up with names for fake pokemon.
Ahh, yes. My bad.
I have just found out that I am the only pokemon fan in my age group at my school by the way I'm 15 so ya I think that I am kinda odd
thanks kevin and butterfree:)
Not quite - the game has one designation for physical/special moves (to determine whether to use Attack/Defense or Special Attack/Special Defense and a few other things) and also a flag for whether the move makes contact (to determine for instance whether the Rough Skin ability will take effect). The physical/special determination is mostly made based on whether the move reasonably employs physical muscle strength or a more mystical-esque power: Earthquake, for instance, is physical but does not make contact, and Grass Knot and Petal Dance are special but do make contact.
This physical/special distinction only applies in the fourth-generation games onwards, where you can see if you look at a move on your Pokémon's stat screen that it has a little icon that's either red with an impact star on it (physical) or blue with a ripple on it (special). In the first three generations, physicalness or specialness of moves was determined by the type of the move; Normal, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Bug, Rock, Ghost and Steel moves were always physical, while Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ice, Psychic, Dragon and Dark moves were always special.
I recommend reading my battle mechanics page if you're completely clueless about these things.
@Frostagin: yeah, but the change between jiheddo and Sazandora is so great that it's hard to see how Monozu evolves through Jiheddo and on to the floating dragon-demon-hydra-whatever thing.
KRICKETOT SPAMMY!!! i am pwning the game w/ a kricketune in Pearl version.
Moves run off the Attack stat if they make contact (such as Fire Punch), and they run off the Sp. Attack stat if they do not (such as Flamethrower). It has nothing to do with type, only the moves effectiveness.
The higher the Attack stat, the more damage done by moves that make contact (hereby referred to as physical moves). The higher the Sp. Attack stat, the higher the damage done by moves that do not make contact (special moves).
The two defense stats function oppositely - the Defense stat reduces the effectiveness of physical moves, while the Sp. Defense stat reduces the effectiveness of special moves.
What you're talking about about at the end is known as STAB. It has nothing to do with physical or special - if a Pokemon uses a move of its type (Charmeleon using Ember), the damage is boosted by 1.5x. Basically, if it would've done 60HP worth of damage by stats alone, it'll instead do 90HP worth of damage.
what is the differnce between attack and spec attack and defense and spec defense? is spec attack attacks with the same element as the pokemon, like a fire pokemons spec attack is firetype moves? and just attack is all other moves?
I'm a ten-year-old girl.
I think Monozu is supposed to be a hydra, with it gaining more heads as it evolves. Kinda like Hydranoid from Bakugan.
yeah, but its face is more shnauzer-y. i know because i had two. they're both dead… *Sob…*
waaahh!! why did they have to go?? WHYYY???
oh yeah… despite my 8-year-old-ish posts… i'm a 12-year-old boy.
