We are officially open, post away.

> The off-topic thread will be coming soon, so until then please keep all off-topic chatter in the OLD thread! <

Jump into this week's discussion or bring up a new topic, let's talk about Pokemon and get battling!

[Czar Kazem]

Nice. >w>


Low accuracy moves? Focus Blast.
It has never worked for me. I absolutely hate it.

[Terry Brogard]

Stone edge is a b***h

[Echo Nacyl]

Welcome back.

Here here. Focus Blast is the most frustrating low acc move I've ever used.
I do find myself using Stone Edge a bit, but that's more due to limited availability of Rock Slide than anything.
I use Blizzard all the time, but that's because I use Abomasnow.
I have exactly one Thunder user. A Jolteon. With Rain Dance.
Machamp can be incredibly epic in it's use of Dynamicpunch and Stone Edge. Seriously. It's a whole lot of fun to whack at it with inaccurate moves too, lol.
Before 4th gen I was much less concerned with accuracy. I think the expanded possibilities of battling people did that to me.

[Magica]

I am in total agreement with Focus Blast. >_<
It seems like a great idea to have on special attackers but..
Every time I go to use it in a dire situation, it misses and makes me rage.

Stone edge and Megahorn on my Heracross like to miss a lot, too.

I have had strange luck with things like Fire Blast always hitting, though.

[Terry Brogard]

Fireblast on Heatran is harsh too, always seems to be a gamebreaking miss when I use it

[NeoDeathAngel]

Zap Cannon = Win >w>;

Not really u_u;

[Czar Kazem]

Stone Edge doesn't actually give me much trouble.
But I never use Fire Blast.

[Echo Nacyl]

What really annoys me is when 90-95 acc moves like to miss. It's like, seriously? I see them miss more often than non-Rain Thunder and non-Hail Blizzard. I have this awful habit of missing with Heat Wave. And sometimes the good fortune of dodging the elemental hyper beams.

The only low acc move I really really like is Head Smash. I wouldn't take it off my Scarf-Rampy for anything.

[NeoDeathAngel]

neh. Meteor Mash misses on Metagross are horrible u_u; and can determine the game quite often when your using an Agiligross to try to sweep =X

This. This right here. My love probably has the worst luck with stuff like high accuracy moves missing.
When something as silly as this costs you the game it really hurts, IMO.
I have Head Smash on my Aggron, but I wouldn't dare use low accuracy moves like it in other cases.
With his no-recoil, high defense, and STAB it makes it worth it to go for a hit.

Lol, back in third gen I was down to 1 vs 1 against a friend's Metagross. His Quick Claw went off and Meteor Mash missed. I was like lol, lucky me.

[NeoDeathAngel]

last night I had 7 meteor mashes miss in a row x.X

That costed me the entire freaken game u_u;

[Magica]

On the mention of Quick Claw..
My love and I played through battle tower once and it took over an hour to get to the final match.
We were about to win for sure, or so we thought. We didn't know the enemy had a quick claw.
We were down to one Pokemon that could kill it for sure.. quick claw activated and killed us. =|

[Czar Kazem]

Quick Claw is bullshit.
