Yes, it can move, how else do you expect it to use the moves it uses in battle?

Wait, so it could just fly out into space and it would be all right?
Since it needs no oxygen?
And it could just go underwater no problem for any length of time? Could all ghost pokemon do this? /creepy/

Elgyem and beheeyem were mishap's on Game freak's part I believe...the reason they can learn steel wing is because it is TM 51, a reference to area 51...back in fifth gen, TM 51 was ally switch and it made sense that the elgyem line could learn it...in sixth gen when they turned tm 51 in steel wing, they completely forgot that the elgyem line must get TM 51 no matter what so they ended up giving it steel wing instead of reprogramming everything...that's my thought anyways...

Also it pilots a flying saucer, which'd be made of metal. It's actually kind of genius how subtle this is
Phantump, the ghost of a child, is breedable. That's both disgusting and non-nonsensical

It has a natural projection and concentration of energy.
While Shedinja itself does not move, it can utilize its power to make itself move, much like how telekinetic can use their power to make themselves fly.
Or so the Pokédex says, referencing folklore. Not exactly the most trustworthy of sources, I'd say.

I guess you can believe that, but it kind of seems like splitting hairs to me. I really don't think a weird explanation is needed. There's no way to prove it either way so I guess we're stuck arguing about it.

I was thinking the same exact thing!
Could said flying saucers be Magnezones? o:

Magnezone is just as much of an "alien" as any other Pokémon. There is nothing about it that makes it not from the Pokémon World.
Besides, it's from power plants. Not another planet.

Confuse Ray works on Normal-type Pokémon, Glare works on Ghost-type Pokémon, and Sand-Attack works on Flying-type Pokémon...so why DOESN'T Thunder Wave work on Ground-type Pokémon?

I assume this is because the status moves you mentioned affect stats or inflict volatile status ailments, while Thunder Wave inflicts a non-volatile status ailment.

If ground-types were immune to paralyze you might have a point, but they don't. A Delcatty with normalize can paralyze them from what I heard from others.

I didn't say Ground types couldn't be paralyzed.

Glare inflicts a non-volatile status ailment,too.That reminds me:I once tried to use Dunsparce's Glare on a Misdreavus,but it failed for some reason.

What actually happens when a pokemon uses various psychic type moves on another?
For example, I imagine that psychic throws them around, like slams them up against a nearby tree/wall whatever. Extrasensory could make them so sensitive that even the wind blowing causes pain by irratiting the pain receptors (?), or maybe induce a very strong headache?
But could it be that for example the pokemon using psychic stops the opponents lungs from functioning, stops it's blood circulation, or just simply restricts air flow? That would be pretty badass.

You're right. I'm sorry. I was mistaking Glare with Mean Look.
As awesome as that would be, we must remember that it's a kids game.

Why can't Nidorina and Nidoqueen breed but Nidorino and Nidoking can? It has never been explained or even rationalized.
Possibly because there is no possible explanation that will make sense? I mean, why can't they breed when every other non-legendary Pokemon can, even those without gender? The fact that even their own male counterparts cannot breed with them IMO means that there is virtually no way they can explain it satisfyingly.
