One move that will change everything

DD Garchomp Fire Punch or Ice Punch as an Egg move for Pichu/Pikachu/Raichu. It'll make all for of them more useful in their respective tiers.

Also, isn't there a rule against bumping non-active threads?

Yeah, and technically you aren't supposed to post in a thread a month old or older. However, the Comp. section is based on the competitive metagame, which is always changing and might warrant new discussion. That said, I personally usually set the limit at 3 months unless there's a significant change in the metagame that might spark new interest in a thread. This was technically bumped in just under three, and I guess there could be some new move discussion with the BW2 changes, specifically the move tutors, so I'll allow it.

how would Ice Punch or Fire Punch be more useful? W/ Nasty Plot and Lightningrod, special Pikachu and Raichu far outclass physical ones. Really, all it needs is Surf w/ both NP and Lightningrod, and it'll be a lot better. And Pichu is awful.

I just battled a guy with it LOL.

I was thinking it would get Solar Beam but it doesn't...

However there is this thread which has this thread's purpose as well. Don't mean to mini-mod, just saying. I already got an infraction by you once and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet...

Cofagrigus with Volt Switch?

gyarados have base 60 sp.attack.. you probably saw his sp.defense which is indeed base 100.
Well if Ferrothorn had rapid spin it would be easier to spin hazards.
And if another bulky pokemon with recovery gets it is would be even better, since no pokemon with reliable recovery and enough bulk gets rapid spin (tentacruel is a close one but no recovery outside of rain dish).

how about a Ghost-type U-turn/Volt Switch instead?
Give Slacking a bit of slack...ugh...I meant to do that? That works too and sounds totally plausible.

uh, no, I meant 100 Special. Look at its Red/Blue stats, and you'll see what I meant.

@ ParaChomp plus other stuff like Giratina and Gengar would benefit immensely from a ghost type U-turn/Volt Switch.

It's good to see this thread again.

I'd like to see Volcarona and Yanmega use energy ball. The other special-orientated bug pokes can use it, so why can't Volcarona and Yanmega?

because Giga Drain is learnable by both of them, and outclasses Energy Ball in any possible situation.

Oh right you said RB I though you misspelled RS (Most people call gen 1 RGBY).

Well the best one would be gengar as he is the fastest one maybe mismagious with volt switch would be great,the problem with most ghost type is that most of them are kinda slow.

That would be a waste of a move-slot imo. It has so many other moves to choose from already, why give another one it doesn't really need?

Delibird with scrappy (it gets rapid spin). That would shoot little santa bird to at least UU.

Yanmega with focus blast, quick guard, and wide guard.

Sigilyph with the last two.

but the slower ones tend to be quite bulky, so it allows you to keep the momentum by having a slow Ghost typed Volt Switch/U-turn.

No, you're right. That thread pretty much covers everything this thread would and more.

I'll go ahead and close this. Please feel free to continue your conversations in the Create/Change Anything Thread.
