The Truth About Splash

[Desert_Rose]

Just recently, I have found out what splash really does. I restarted my Sapphire game recently to get a Mudkip and I traded my Beldum in from my Emerald game. I was at Dewford battling one of the fisherman who has a Magikarp. I sent out my Beldum and told it to use Take Down. The Magikarp used Splash. This is what it said: "Magikarp used Splash......It did nothing.....Beldum pretended to not notice." Beldum did not use take down. I tried it again. Magikarp used Splash again. This time Beldum used Take Down, but my game did not say "Beldum pretended to not notice." I told Beldum to use Take Down again. The Magikarp used Splash, and my Beldum pretended to not notice. The next turn I took out the Magikarp. I would like to know if anyone else has seen a pokemon "pretended to not notice" the stupidity of Splash before. Perhaps Splash is finally revealed....

No. The "pretended to not notice" thing meant that your Pokemon is traded and will not obey your commands until you get the corresponding gym badge. Splash has nothing to do with it.

Way to not know trading. *thumbs up*

This is definitely one of those times where you say to yourself "Now why didn't I think of that...." And we were so close to solving the Splash mystery, too.....

 

[Missingno. Master]

Well, speaking of which, I think there may be something with Mimic and Splash. For fun, I had my Alakazam mimic Splash, and when it ran out of PP for Splash, it used struggle. Normal, right? WRONG! All its other movers were at full PP! Now, I don't know if if it works for any move or what.

Maybe Splash can do a combo with any other move. With Bounce maybe?

¬_¬ no, it can´t....

Splash is just a move that does nothing, except on Pokemon Stadium, where Magikarp's Slash hits a counter.

LOL this thread.

I'd just like to point out that's a nice interesting point you just gave me! I always wanted to know what happened in those situations, but I've no one to trade with!
Thanks, I'll remember this for future reference!
