Why can´t Tomohawk learn Flying Press?

Because there's no Pokémon called Tomohawk

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

More like Tomoki :v

Also Cal, clarify Conquest skill/move/abilities since someone say Conquest is not canon.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Or just come here Cal: https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/2885803#14

It seems you haven´t tried CAP

Anyone interested in seeing the debut of Spinarak in a vs battle?

No?...

So i will just leave this here...

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

I love Spinarak, it's my favorite bug type, but I don't see it winning.

Don't have any basis for why rn, but when I do, I'll leave a oist.

 

[Drite77]

I just notice that spidy has resitance to poison, electricity, sound and Illusions, i might have created a stomp

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Apparently, we should start treating Sturdy and Endure as Statistics Amplification

 

[Drite77]

Ummm, why exactly?

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Because anything that let's you survive something normally lethal should count as a stat amp.

Wokistan mentioned it to me. I'll give you a link to where he said it, as he might be able to explain it better than me.

[Drite77]

Eh, for me, neither of those can be considered statistics amplification, since they do not amp anything

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Well, we need input anyway, so if you have a opinion to share that would be great.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

That above page would apply to all Pokémon with Sturdy and Endure btw

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Lucario match because why not: https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/2891670

 

[Bobsican]

Getting this luck sure doesn´t happen everyday

 

[Drite77]

If i was that lucky with my matchs...

 

[GyroNutz]

Should Pokemon with Sturdy get resistance to Absolute Zero?

 

[Yobo_Blue]

I think it wouldn't be so much resistance or any other power really.

 

[GyroNutz]

They no-sell Sheer Cold tho

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Only once.

I still think Sturdy would be a completely separate ability from what we already have

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Actually, it would count as both that and resistance

 

[GyroNutz]

It's not only once, Sturdy allows the user to be unaffected by one-hit KO moves, period.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

This thread may be relevant tho

and yes, this is self advertisement

 

[Drite77]

If they are in full health to

 

[Yobo_Blue]

It's not only once, Sturdy allows the user to be unaffected by one-hit KO moves, period.

Yeah, I just realized that. Maybe resistance to Durability Negation?

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

bruh

 

[Yobo_Blue]

bruh

?

 

[GyroNutz]

Resistance to Durability Negation sounds too broad, imo

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Look at the page for Durability Negation. This WAY too broad to give a resistance to.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

That's why I mentioned a new power, but no body seemed t acknowledge it, so I just went with that

 

[Bobsican]

Resistance to Dura Negation via Sturdy? No, that ability doesn´t even protect from Endeavor, Perish Song, Psywave nor Toxic.

If anything, it would be resistance to One Hit Kill, oh wait, that one no longer exists.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Well, I did mention Abnormal Endurance as a thing that would cover it, so....
