Strange things about Poké moves!

Have you ever wondered why some attacks actually works on specifik Pokémons like Seismic toss on a Wailord? Here you can tell about attacks that actually not shall have much effect on a specifik Pokémon! Drink milk;241; !

The whole concept of Skill swap doesn't really work a lot of the time.

I mean, how can a Slaking levitate or an Alakazam have Rain Dish.
Ive said it before and i'll say it again, Dugtrio should not learn Aerial Ace!!

It's not so much a move that they learn, but Metapod and Kakuna, when evolved in training, can use tackle and poison sting respectively. However these Pokemon are completely stationary.
Mirror move can make no sense in certain situations, for example a Pidgey using mirror move on something that used mega punch. Metronome is equally crazy.
Clefairy learning meteor mash is a bit weird. The name fits, but it's a powerful punching attack, this just doesn't work on Clefairy.
I may add more later.

Zubat learning mean look when it has no eyes to look mean with.
Diglett and Dugtrio learning scratch and slash when they quite obviously have nothing sharp to scratch with.
I don't really get Doduo learning tri attack, Dodrio I get, one beam from head. But Doduo doesn't really make sense to me.

Eh.
I find it a little freaky that charm works even if the opponent is of the same gender o-o; I used it on Colosseum, and both mine and my opponent's Pokemon were female... and then there were those little hearts that appeared =P

Yeah, things can 'Look Mean' even if they have no visible eyes.
But I can see where Watergod's coming with this, as the battle animation is a little misleading, what with the big eyes.

Digglet and Dugtrio are based off moles which IRL have claws to aid in diggins so I assume Diggy/Duggy have claws that aren't visible.

Wow, so you can pick up on typos, thanks. -_-

Even if its possible, I still think Exploding Trees and Camels are a bit odd.

w00t, bi-action in Pokémon! Odd thing... hm... The battle animations. Tackle doesn't touch 'em.

Must be a flaming hairball. Skitty must get wicked heartburn after a flamethrower usage.

And how does Rattata/Raticate manage to use flamewheel or unleash a Blizzard?

I don't see how a Granbull can use Iron Tail, I mean, it was a stub for a tail. It's also weird that Pokemon can use Rock Tomb that aren't Rock or Ground, how do they actually use it? Especially flying types like Salamence, how?

Of course he shouldn't. Arial Ace isn't even a move!
