Pressure

[Jay Fredo]

If I use an attack that that hits both opponents, say Earthquake, during a double battle and both of the opponen's pokemon both had Pressure, would Earthquake use 4 times as much PP? Thanks.

 

[Alzi]

yes it probely will because your attacking both of the pokemon and they are both getting hit so yes it will take 4 away

 

[ninjascyther]

I say no because if you used surf and it hits both the opposing pokemon you have hit them both but the move only uses 1 PP not 2.

I think the moves PP will go down 2 not 4 or 1. ;123;

I'd like to know that, It's a good question.
*goes of getting his GBA to test*

btw, where can you find a double battle with 2 pokémon that have Pressure??


~SB~

 

[Emerald Metagross]

If both your opponents have Pressure I belive that it will use 4 PP. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[-Dragon-]

In theory, it should.

 

[Mitja]

no........................
EQ would take 3pps normally then cos it hits 3 pokes lol
if atlast one has pressure it uses 2 pps but not more

 

[penngrade6]

I dont think so because earthequake is one attack so if it hits two pokemon it should take 3 times as much pp. Im not sure so correct me if im wrong.

 

[Mitja]

that'd mean that in a double battle u could use EQ only 3,333.. times and then you run out of pps lol
it doesnt even make sense....(thats like if u shot 3apples with one shot then it takes up 3 ammos lol)
flygon uses earthquake which costs him 1pp...if there were 2114315125 pokes around it they'd all be hit
and i'm sure i used EQ in many double battles more than 4 times with the same poke and i never ran out of pp....

 

[CharizardMaster]

I remember this happening to me, I lost 4 pps from it.

I just tried this with a Swampert against an Absol and Suicune with Hoppip on my side. It used 3 PP, however the fact that Absol fainted while Suicune lived might be a factor in the amount of PP used.

 

[brawleyboy]

i tried this in my ruby and it does

 

[Lord Scalgon]

It should be true that you lose 4 PP. Even though I never experimented that.

 

[JirachiMan]

Goodness I never thought about little things like that. Very observent of you.

 

[[AceAussie]]

it makes sense but it doesn't really worry me all it takes is one move..

 

[Francesc]

Yep, I think it takes out 4 PP.
