multiple hits

[Hejiru]

Is it a good idea to use moves that have 2-5 hits, if it has high Atk/SpAtk? It would be adding the attack stat each time for a weak power attack, instead of once for a high power attack, right? Is that useful?

EDIT: Marowak can use the Thick Club, which doubles its attack stat. so... bone rush would be useful, no?

Multistrikes have one purpose and only one purpose - breaking Substitutes.

Wimpy ones like Fury Swipes, Fury Attack, etc. are mostly useless.

However, Arm Thrust on Hariyama and Bonemerang/Rush on Marowak aren't entirely dumb ideas. Arm Thrust ruins SubTyranitar and Bonemerang packs enough power to break almost any sub it meets up with.

I'm not worried about foiling certain archetypes/the competive scene. IN GENERAL, useful or not? For example, Marowak's Bone Rush with Thick Club, or Cloyster's Icecle Spear/Spike Cannon with Skill Link, or Scyther/Scizor's Fury Cutter with Technician (sp?)

Fury Swipes on Slaking is immense. Icicle Spear on Mamoswine is an option, it is also an option for Skill Link Cloyster.

Well Bonemarang is better then bone rush on marow
and cloyster just fails Ice Shard would be more usefull and Scizor sound like a good idea but cary Night Slash/Brick break for Ghost/Rock-Steels
