Spikes!!!!

I've heard it somewhere, but I forgot where I got that source.
Well for me, I guess it's just common sense when it comes to attacks. I was quite surprised myself when Sky Uppercut & Waterfall worked on a Pokemon that used Bounce. I never tried Whirlpool against Spikes, so maybe I'll try that. Again, it's just common sense.

It makes perfect sense that sky uppercut and waterfall work on bouncing pokemon. Sky uppercut is obviously a jumping punch, so that would hit a bouncing pokemon that jumped up. Waterfall is to go up waterfalls and as such hits upwards, making it possible to hit bouning enemies.
Does thunderbolt/thunder hit pokemon who are using fly? I've always thought that, but have never tried it out.
I guess spikes should be taken away by whirlpool because of it's swirling motion, but then again the spikes would sink into the water if they were on a water terrain, which is kinda needed to make a whirlpool, unless you've seen the anime...

Thanks for informing me.
Everyone knows that earthquake hits a digging pokemon, but what else can?

The same as surf does x2 damage against a diving pokemon
Just wondering, it would be pretty interesting. When did I say I used them?

becuase you don't have surf or earthquake?
Muddy Water is actually a reasonable option on Swampert, thanks to the Accuracy drop.
As for Whirlpool, it wouldn't surprise me if it did.
All Pokemon that learn Magnitude also learn Earthquake (TM), same goes for Muddy Water, and Surf is ALSO an HM FOR GOODNESS SAKE.

Don't forget that it IS possible for the player to not have the surf HM or the earthquake tm. Magnitude and Muddy water are pretty much just smaller versions of Surf and Earthquake. This means that, for logics sake, they too must be able to hit diving/digging pokemon.

^^Well I don't think there are any Diving pokemon before acquiring the Surf HM in any of the games.
Surf IS required to beat the game, dumbshit. Earthquake? You can buy it for a lot of BP in DP, clone it in Emearld, pass it by breeding, etc.

What i'm saying, before you call me a dumbshit, is that there is a time period before getting Surf that you can have muddy water. The same goes for earthquake, unless your pokemon learns it before getting the appropriate TM.
You've got to remember that everybody in the whole world that has played pokemon has finished the game, and thus might be in the situation where they have muddy water instead of Surf.
Case closed.

Battling in the battle room next to the union room.
Whoever's using Muddy Water should be using Hydro Pump instead, and even then, they would be overleveling their Pokemon. As for Earthquake, it's best users learn it naturally, and Earthquake isn't that great ingame and better off for competitive needs.
Dive isn't used for a good reason - it sucks arse, even on Divecolo, which is a novelty set.
