What do you think of this devilish water move?
PP: 15/15
Power: 80
Accuracy 100%
May cause a Burn (30% chance)
Should be 60 power

It's at 'required for competitive Water-types' status because it's decently powerful and can deal what is essentially a buffed version of poison.
Other than that? ...Well, I don't hate it that much. Fuck, I use it myself.

Scald has lost me so many battles i can't fu cking count. DELETE THIS MOVE i fucking hate scald with a fiery passion
It makes the game so luck based its unreal. This is the reason one-hit KO moves are not allowed, because luck has no place in a pokemon game.
But yet still we have shit like scald, where switching in a grass pokemon to tank that water attack might get it burned. All the types that resist water, hate burns, it makes no sense for them to be able to inflict this status while also hurting you.
Once you get burned once by a scalder, its over, the chip damage will eat away at your team and your sanity until you shrivel into a dried burnt-up husk of the trainer you used to be, while the scald user just sits there laughing and spamming his no-risk ultra-benefit Scald.

What is Volcanion attacking ?

Shuppet is attracted by feelings of jealousy and vindictiveness. If someone develops strong feelings of vengeance, this Pokémon will appear in a swarm and line up beneath the eaves of that person's home.
Shuppet grows by feeding on dark emotions, such as vengefulness and envy, in the hearts of people. It roams through cities in search of grudges that taint people.

Let's now just wait for water move with 50% to freeze. Of course none of the ice types can learn it.
Besides Delibird.

>luck has no place in a pokemon game
You're the kind of guy who thinks items in Smash is stupid, aren't you ?
>>26288813
Yep even critical hits are too much luck for me, this game should be like chess
should be 60 damage AT THE MOST, maybe 40
gamefreak are idiots
>>26288859
Kill yourself.
There is no reason this fucking move should exist. Especially not at fucking 80 BP.
Especially not having the insane distribution it is.
>>26288711
This should be a combiner move with fire and water pledge.
>>26288835
I'm not saying you are wrong, but Pokémon will never be that way. (sadly, for anyone who becomes invested in the meta)
It's very powerful and I wish a variant was given to ice types instead.
>>26288711
I believe it's balanced and reasonable as a move.
It's a cool move but it should not be a TM, it should be a low distribution move to make certain water types more viable rather than making water as a type better than it already is

>Synchronize
>Heal Bell
>Profit
>>26288935
It's balanced and i don't even really give a fuck that it thaws freezing, i'm just irate that fire moves don't necessarily thaw freezing.
>all these anti-water shitters
LOVE IT. Can't tell you how many times this attack saved me in the battle maison with protean greninja when people say I should opt for a stronger water attack like surf or hydro miss.
If there was another single target water move with similar distribution and slightly higher power, without additional effect, I would probably use that instead tbqh famaloo
Calm Mind and Scald makes for a deadly combination.
Want to take out the bulky water type with a special attacker?
Good luck breaking through a Suicune with even just 1.5x SpD, let alone 4x
Want to take out the bulky water type with a physical attacker?
30% chance of having your attack power cut in half, forcing you to become setup bait or otherwise spend turns switching to your cleric and possibly having them get fucked in exchange.
>fire types can't get burned!
I'm not even going to entertain this one.
I'm not saying there's no way around the move, of course. I'm just saying that it's REALLY fucking strong for a move that's basically on every water mon and their mums.
>>26288711
nice try, gamefreak woudl never make such an OP move
