why? and if there was, what mixed attackers would make use of it?

It would be OP

And the real travesty is there not being a special equivalent of Dragon Dance

You FUCKING DUMBASS!!!
>>24871584
OP, listen, sweety. We all make mistakes in life. You just happen to make a very uninformed, uneducated, ignorant statement about a subject you know very little about. It's ok to feel as if you want to kill yourself. Nobody here would objectify if you chose to do so. But before you do, just know that you will go out like a bitch.
Or you could go into politics. You'd fit right in with being able to make nonsensical statements about subjects you clearly do not have even a remote understanding of.
>>24871584
>Being this stupid
>>24871584
The only kind of person dumb enough to use Work Up is the kind that doesnt even fucking know it exists.
>>24871584
this has gotta be a troll
missing a line of green text.
furry OP
retarded as shit statement
>>24871584
So you just didn't even bother playing Gen 5 huh? You only get the TM for Work Up from the first fucking gym in Black/White 2.
>>24871584
I wanna see OP try to defend his stupid statement. Please respond OP. I need to make fun of you more, and at this point I'm beating a dead horse trying to make fun of your first post.
>what could make good use of work up?
I've actually wondered this myself, I could only really think of infernape, but you run into the conundrum of what you are going to run for coverage
>Work up
>Overheat
>Close Combat
>???/Fake out/Grass Knot/EQ/SE/Thunder Punch
Problem is most things with usable atk and sp atk are slow and frail, which is a shame as I personally love the mixed attacker archetype but it's always shit unless you pass a bunch of stat bonuses to it.
>>24871707
I didn't really play a lot of gen v, but even I knew about work up.
>>24871584
i htink what you mean to say is there is no move that increases special attack and defense, or attack and special defense
>>24871736
the only things that use work up are things with no better boosting move, because they'd be broken with it.
also, mega sceptile needs growth.
>>24871603
>what is Quiver Dance
>>24871794
Something that also boosts special defense and has a much narrower distribution than Dragon Dance
>>24871695

Comparable distro. They're both really limited.

Kek
It's shit because mixed attackers need their four moveslots for different attacks, not a boosting move

You're probably the kind of guy who wants SR of every type and 40BP-priority for every type.

Confusion IS special.
>>24872227
Meant the status condition Confusion, not the attack, my bad.
>>24872248
do you mean burn?
confusion doesn't affect stats.

How could you forget Work Up? It was literally shoved down our throats in game.
