Is there an "exclusive" attack more whored out than Superpower?
>>26876974
Hidden Power.
It is supposed to be Unown's "signature" move, but almost everyone can learn it.
>>26876974
Explosion
>>26876986
It's never been an exclusive move.
Any water pokemon. That can learn scald.
>>26876974
What?
>>26877025
Originally, only the Regis had it. Now, tons of shit can learn it
>>26876974
Toxic?
Ice Beam
>>26876974
Best move animation ever along with Genwun Seismic Toss.
>>26877054
To be fair, in the same generation it was given to Deoxys and Nidoqueen of all things.
I don't think Superpower was ever meant to be "exclusive".
ITT this thread: people who don't know what "exclusive" means.
>>26877065
Since fucking when has Ice Beam been an exclusive move
Why does everybody and their mom have toxic
Why do poison types exist
Electroweb before bw2
And signal beam
Aura Sphere.
Even my Mom's Blastoise can learn it.
>>26876974
Leaf Blade, and it's original animation looks the best, not that green sword bullshit from Gen 4 and on.
>>26877278
That was never exclusive though, even in its debut gen.
Gust used to be exclusive to pidgey line
>>26877216
This.
Only poison types + mons that are known to secrete poison (like umbreon) should be able to use toxic
Blaze kick
>>26877338
>only 3 other lines
It got the best exclusive treatment of the hoenn starter moves. Muddy Water got thrown to a ton of water types and got nerfed, Leaf Blade got a big buff and went to anything with a vine.
>>26877216
For 5 gens people have been asking why poison types exist indeed
Gen 6 gave them a real purpose of countering Fairies at least
I'm pretty sure at some point the elemental punches were supposed to be for Hitmonchan
But somebody fucked up and remembered that type decided physical or special and it ended up backfiring so they gave it to Alakazam and others
>>26877392
This. As a poisonfag I'm really happy with the introduction of fairies.
>>26877054
Fuck that. We have an actual Superpower pokemon who until now only learns it as a tutor move while his rival learns it naturally. What the fuck?
Focus Blast
>>26877411
in gen 1 the only families that can learn elemental punches with Hitmonchan, Jynx, Electabuzz, and Magmar (jynx/electabuzz/magmar all get the one that corresponds with its type, hitmonchan gets all of them).
Waterfall, poor Seaking
>>26877623
It always bothered me that Waterfall wasn't Gyarados' signature move, what with its backstory.
Spore was originally just Parasect, but got passed on to a few other grass mons. Extreme Speed was originally Arcanine's signature move, but it also got passed around.
Many people don't know that Waterfall existed in Gen 1 as Seaking's signature move.
Megahorn, Heracross lost a lot of potential after gen 2
>>26877291
and then leaf blade was made physical as further insult to injury, which makes sense with what it is but still.
>>26877589
I always thought that was a cool gimmick, can't think of gf really doing anything like that for a while
>>26877705
spore has only ever been given to mushroom pokemon,and smeargle as an eventas befitting its actual name, mushroom spore. thats hardly being whored out
>>26877056
I hate the fact that almost any pokemon could learn toxic
>>26877777
CHECK 'EM
>>26877216
This piss me off too. There is way too many mons that can use toxic for no reasons.
>>26877777

>>26877392
>counterimg fairies
>When most fairies learn high base psychic type moves
>>26878787
Neat
>>26878787
>forgetting the fact that most fairies have shit defense base stats
>Pokemon shit
>shit can be toxic
>different species have shit that is more or less toxic
>like pigs and humans, shit is literally destructive and poisons the environment without decomposing
I have figured it out. Toxic is just a pretty shitty move.
I regret nothing.
>>26876974
megahorn?
>>26878095
Toxic is throwing your shit
>>26878928
>not knowing what a counter is
>>26878928
Most powerful and widely distributed Poison and Steel moves are Special
>>26879232
Carlos get out
>>26880093
pretty sure poison jab, steel wings, iron tail, bullet punch and iron head are physical though. everybody get poison jab, even things without hands.
>>26877216
Only poison types should badly poison, the rest should just do 12% like burn or something.
>>26877777
quints of truth
>>26876986
Unown was just there to showcase it.
>>26877392
>2 of the top 3 best Fairies are Steel
>completely immune to poison

I love, love, love the Poison type, but lets not pretend they're actually good. We haven't even gotten a legendary yet.
>>26877021
When the fuck was Scald an exclusive move?
>>26877216
When used by a Poison-type, Toxic acts as if the user has No Guard (as in it never misses, even during semi-invulnerable turns).
Sky Attack and Extremespeed
>>26877261
what can learn electroweb besides Galvantula?
>>26877291
tfw your Grovyle first used leaf blade in R/S mmmm it was so good.
>>26881766
>steel wing
>iron tail
barf
>>26877056
Toxic was a TM in gen-1, bro.
Leaf Blade was originally Sceptile's signature Move back in gen-3. Now it seems most physical grass types can learn it.
>>26886322
Almost every Bug, even ones like Weedle, Caterpie and Wurmple.
Also, Rotom.
>>26886514
...this aggravates me more than it should
>>26877392
Poison pseudo when?
>>26881766
They are either lacking in power or accuracy and not worth wasting a moveslot on. Bullet Punch is shit without Scizor
grasswhistle was roselias move but im pretty sure other grass types can learn it now
