HM: Cut

Headshot-Jackal465

The Kwisatz Haderach
Cut should be a bug technique. If not, at least it should prove super-effective against grass types, I mean, it is a move used to chop-down trees and bushes. How is that not super-effective?
What do you guys think? They changed "Bite"'s type, should they change "Cut"?
 
That's actually a pretty good idea. It would give Pinsir a decent Bug attack without having to painstakingly breed for HP Bug, since they won't give it Megahorn for some reason. >_>;
 
And Pinsir would still equate to garbage.

A good idea. Bugs also eat leaves. Doesn't have anything to do with cutting but the essence is there.
 
That is a good idea.
I have often wondered why they had it listed as a normal type attack.
If you think about that, it doesn't really make much sence.
So yeah, it should be a bug type attack.
 
Yes its a good idea in fact, but since G/S/C we had this move called Fury Cutter which is bug, and its kind of the same thing... the thing is if were a bug type not many pokemon could learn it, and i mean Cut is a move most pokemon can make use of, and besides HM01 it is the first HM you get and need to advance in the game, and there are not a lot of bug type pokemon out there in the beggining who can actually learn something...

Isn't Cut just a downgraded Slash?


Who cares. In the long run Cut sucks anyways.
But if Cut was a bug move, it wouldn't completely suck. It could do for bugs what Ariel Ace did for Flying types. It could help crap out like Pinsir who can't learn Silver Wind or Megahorn.
 
Since when are Gamefreak known for doing things that make sense? Cut should change type to Bug, and Strength to either Rock or Fighting IMO. Make 'em useful in battle please!
 
It is a very good idea, but Gamefreak never listens to good ideas. They should make Cut a bug tipe attack, they should give Pinsir Megahorn and they should make more good bug attacks instead of useless normal ones.
 
yeah, it really has been a while.

I always saw normal as a type where they should stick things that don't belong somewhere else that suits them better and cut seemed logically a bug technique.
Yeah, it would be available to less, but grass and normal types learn bug moves (fury cutter) all the time, so why not, eh?

Wow.

I never even thought of that... but it's an awesome idea. It would be a really big boost to bug types, but at 50 base power they would be pretty much the only one's using it anyone for STAB (so it wouldn't be like ice beam, always going to other types instead).

And it is just like a bug move.

Woah. Good idea. But then again, if it's a good idea, and it makes sense, and it would fix alot of stuff up - what are the chances gamefreak are ever gonna do it?

They'll probably just give Skarmory recover and leave it at that :p
 
I guess makin cut a bug type move would make it a little better...but they would also have to change it's poor accuracy, and give it higher base power to be used effectively, and then it wouldn't completely suck...unlike how it it now...the way it is now, I don't even consider using it in any battle.
 
It doesn't matter what it should be good against, the type is usually based on what the move itself does. Think about it. Why would a move that simply cuts stuff have a bug type?

Then again, they kinda did that with Fury Cutter, unless it has a bug-ish name in Japan...
 
Then why would a move that simply stabs stuff with a horn be a bug type? :p

No, seriously. I never understood why megahorn is a bug move. It's really a pretty obscure type anyway... If megahorn gets to be a bug move, why shouldn't cut?

lol, THAT is hillarious!
It sounds like it should be bug and there are, like, 5 bug techniques, so I think It's quite necessary.
