You didn't got the point. Even though Iron Head debuted in DP057, at that time Torterra was a Turtwig and Turtwig\Grotle can't learn the move. If you calculate the my points from last time and add this one then you will find out that I posted five points and so the ratio is five to one. Guess its not baseless after all.
Yeah, I got that you made five points. It doesn't mean that there's a five to one chance of learning it. Probability has nothing to do with which moves Pokemon learn. That comes down to our lords and masters the writers. Anyway, Ash is always seeing moves that his Pokemon can use, and he doesn't always jump into teaching them that move. Has he taught Pikachu Light Screen after seeing Electabuzz using it? No. He only teaches moves that he sees as special or strong, and I doubt he feels that way about Iron Head, as he has seen it before and didn't seem to impressed even thenYes it is still baseless. Obviously you didn't read my post, as I described what baseles speculation was, there's nothing solid that suggests that it will learn Iron Head, only your opinion.
In that case I was saying that Staraptor should learn something that gives it type coverage. Learning Sky Attack won't be a big help but by learning Heat wave, it could take the place of Gliscor(the other flyer with fire type move). And I never stated that Staraptor will learn it from Togekiss so it was not baseless at that time too.
Word to the wise, don't mention Gliscor, some people will go cuckoo. Personally, I think Staraptor's moveset is fine as it is, but a new move would be cool. And someone else suggested it learning Sky Attack from Togekiss, I didn't say you did. Again, there's nothing to suggest that Staraptor will learn Heatwave, so it's still baseless.
You have to use stat boosting move than hit. Like if you want to take out a Snorlax with help of Infernape then you can keep hitting with Close Combat and there are some chances that opponent will use rest and all your hard hitting work goes to waste. Instead if you use Swords Dance one time, you can own the battle cause then Infernpae just sweeps everyone that comes in range. But in Torterra's case it would have to stop Hippowdon from using defensive moves and its upto Ash on how he plan to do it.
So you keep hitting it as hard as you can, pretty much like I said... And competitive battling doesn't really apply to the Anime.
