Out of curiosity, what would the merit of a Woobat with Foul Play be?Yes! I've been chomping at the bit to get a hold of the decent Woobat! I was upset to find out that it couldn't get Foul Play from the new move tutors, so maybe we'll get really lucky and Game Freak will release DW Swoobats with Foul Play. (Like they did Contrary Superpower Spindas.) Of course, then it would have Simple as it's ability and not Unaware; we can never win. :/
I always thought that had to do with the fact that bats aren't actually loud. Most of the Pokemon that learn Hyper Voice are either very loud (Whismur line, Politoed, etc.) or have very specific connections to sound (Chatot, Meloetta, Igglybuff line). I think the fact that they learn Screech and Supersonic demonstrates that they utilize soundwaves, I just can't really imagine Woobat or Swoobat screaming loudly.Now that I think about it, it cannot learn Hyper Voice neither. The Zubat family also seems to be without Hyper Voice. Are the Japanese aware of how bats operate in real life?
