Guess they wanted a whimsical/graceful physical activity that sounds like a fairy would do?What I was asking is why it's called "Frolic" in Japan.

correcting other people's grammar when they didn't ask for it is a little improper, just sayingAlso, *they, *an attacking
Ehh. Correcting someone else's typo, as that person did, is just goddamn sad though.correcting other people's grammar when they didn't ask for it is a little improper, just saying

Let's not get into this. It wasn't a big deal, I just made some spelling mistakes and Tazonite corrected them. Whatever. I don't think he does this often, I guess making two mistakes in one sentence (one a type (forgetting the "e" in "they"), one a grammar (the indefinite article "a" becomes "an" when in front of a word beginning with a vowel)) just annoyed him.Ehh. Correcting someone else's typo, as that person did, is just goddamn sad though.
Whether correcting grammar is good or not mostly depends on whether you're punching up or down in doing it. You find tons of people on the internet who are trying too hard to sound smart -- the people who go out of their way to use "whom" but think it's just a replacement for "who," people who use semicolons everywhere because they think it means they're smart, people who say things like "whilst" and "thusly," etc. -- and it's important to correct them to keep them from congratulating themselves too much.
Being Pokemon are elemental monsters it's probably not too difficult for them to hurt another when playing around, no matter how small or weak looking they are (they all learn other attacks with high power so they have some strength behind them).anyway on topic: re: play rough/frolic: ok but the general idea of the move is that the pokemon using it is like supposed to be frolicking with the other pokemon but they're too strong for their own good or something? like that would explain pokemon like granbull, poochyena etc getting it. that does NOT explain marill, skitty, volbeat/illumise, and bounsweet lol
I know marill is because we want play rough azumarill for competitive but the others dont really need have the same excuse lol
and then im sure theres a shitton of pokemon that DONT get it who totally should based on what we know about them like, idk, aipom comes to mind but i'm sure there's others. Also the tapus, especially tapu koko, who is specifically said to be a playful being and also a fairy
I know everyone and their mom has already brought this up but it's on my mind now because this thread is about play rough at the moment lol
It's from a TM, so it is odd to have to wait that long on a move like that for most and even weirder to be absent on one of the oldest Physical water types.Kingler not learning Waterfall is really weird, since Crawdaunt learns it and otherwise has a pretty similar movepool (it should also learn Razor Shell for the same reason). Also really annoying from an in-game standpoint.
Also Shiftry should really learn Night Slash, but doesn't.
The majority of Crabs, unlike lobsters, cannot swim to save their lives, though. Same reason why it can't learn Dive either: it could take you down there, but never back up. This is one of those things that actually do make sense for a change.Kingler not learning Waterfall is really weird, since Crawdaunt learns it and otherwise has a pretty similar movepool (it should also learn Razor Shell for the same reason).

Kingler does learn Dive, though (also Surf). That's what makes the inability to learn Waterfall so strange.The majority of Crabs, unlike lobsters, cannot swim to save their lives, though.

As of gen7, it no longer learns Dive. It's a transfer-only move now. And yeah, I'm aware of that, however all of the species Kingler's based off are crawlers rather than swimmers which actually makes its ability to learn Surf the odd thing about it, not the other way around. I wouldn't mind if it learned all those moves, but I don't mind the fact that it doesn't either because it sorta makes sense imo.Kingler does learn Dive, though (also Surf).

(btw, swimming crabs are also a thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portunidae)
Because Weezing's gases burn easily. Gengar is gas that doesn't burn easily.Dunno if this was brought up already, but it's pretty weird to me that Weezing learns multiple fire type moves. Wouldn't he... like, explode? I guess GF's logic is that the fact that weezing's body is made of gas is precisely the reason why it gets moves like flamethrower (Skuntank gets flamethrower for the same reason) but then pokemon like Gengar and Garbodor should get flamethrower too, but they don't.
Eh, I wouldn't mind if Kingler didn't learn Waterfall if they give it and a bunch of other physical Water-types Liquidation (seriously, why such a limited distribution?).As of gen7, it no longer learns Dive.

Anyway, it's not as weird as Alola-Raichu not learning PsyWAVE ( "Surfing" by using its psychic power and all ).
I think the difference is that Weezing and Skutank use gas to attack while Gengar and Garbodor contain gas but doesn't really use it to fight.Dunno if this was brought up already, but it's pretty weird to me that Weezing learns multiple fire type moves.

I remember being in a troubled mood the day I posted that.Ehh. Correcting someone else's typo, as that person did, is just goddamn sad though.

Not all gases are flammable, simple as that.Dunno if this was brought up already, but it's pretty weird to me that Weezing learns multiple fire type moves. Wouldn't he... like, explode?

Basically this, yeah.Because Weezing's gases burn easily. Gengar is gas that doesn't burn easily.
It's description is: "The user sets off an earthquake that strikes every Pokémon around it."I'd also like to ask-
What exactly is Earthquake?
Sometimes I see it portrayed as a stomp that rattles the ground and does damage to whatever's standing on it.
But then how would something like Arbok do it? Or Blissey? Sometimes I could guess Earthquake involves some intense digging that shifts the ground on Ground types that naturally get it. But some Mons make more sense having Earthquake than others.
So what about whatever the move actually requires you to do to perform it that gets it such wide distribution, aside from being a TM?
Ah, right, forgot about that. Been replaying Gen VI games and using Pokemon I've never used before, etc.As of gen7, it no longer learns Dive. It's a transfer-only move now.
Makes more sense than a good number of things that learn Surf, some of which weigh a quarter ton and are actually weak to Water.And yeah, I'm aware of that, however all of the species Kingler's based off are crawlers rather than swimmers which actually makes its ability to learn Surf the odd thing about it, not the other way around.

Pokémon like Tyranitar learn Surf as a reference to kaju movies, where the monster ofter rose from the sea. The rest is all based on animals capable to swim.Ah, right, forgot about that. Been replaying Gen VI games and using Pokemon I've never used before, etc.

Doesn't learn Screech.Aerodactyl said:X: It was regenerated from a dinosaur's genetic matter that was found in amber. It flies with high-pitched cries.
Y: This vicious Pokemon is said to have flown in ancient skies while shrieking high-pitched cries.
Since its neck is trunk-like maybe it could have learn Wood Hammer. Maybe also Coil.Cradily said:Omega Ruby: Cradily roams around the ocean floor in search of food. This Pokemon freely extends its tree trunk-like neck and captures unwary prey using its eight tentacles.
X: It lives in the shallows of warm seas. When the tide goes out, it digs up prey from beaches.
While it does learn plenty of scratching/slashing moves, it oddly doesn't have Night Slash or Shadow Claw. I also think it could get Poison Jab and maybe Fell Stinger.Armaldo said:X: Its enormous, retractable claws can cut through most anything. Its entire body is clad in sturdy plates.
Y: Protected by a hard shell, its body is very sturdy. It skewers prey with its claws to feed.
Omega Ruby: Armaldo’s tough armor makes all attacks bounce off. This Pokemon’s two enormous claws can be freely extended or contracted. They have the power to punch right through a steel slab.
Doesn't get the ability Rock Head.Rampardos said:X/Omega Ruby: Its skull withstands impacts of any magnitude. As a result, its brain never gets the chance to grow.
Y/Alpha Sapphire: Its skull is as hard as iron. It is a brute that tears down jungle trees while catching prey.
While it learns some speed moves, probably could also get Extreme Speed.Archeops said:Sun: Although apparently able to fly, they tended to run along the ground, averaging speeds of roughly 25 mph.
Doesn't learn Stomping Tantrum.Tyrunt said:X/Omega Ruby: This Pokemon was restored from a fossil. If something happens that it doesn't like, it throws a tantrum and runs wild.
Eh, Keen Eye is more for Pokemon with good eyesight, not a sense of coordination. Weavile may like Tough Claws or Super Luck more, because it's all about its claws and it gets several of the Slash moves which has increased Critical Hit Ratios.I presume you can talk about abilities as well as movepools?
Anyway, here's the thing about Weavile.
Diamond: They live in cold regions, forming groups of four or five that hunt prey with impressive coordination.
Well, I'm surprised given that they have impressive coordination doesn't translate to the fact they have the ability Keen Eye.
Also, if it learns Bite, why can't it learn Crunch as well?
What?Ruby/Omega Ruby: Gorebyss lives in the southern seas at extreme depths. Its body is built to withstand the enormous pressure of water at incredible depths. Because of this, this Pokémon's body is unharmed by ordinary attacks.
1. Doesn't learn Absorb/Mega Drain/Giga Drain. Infact it wasn't until Gen VI did they give it a draining move in Draining Kiss.Sapphire/Alpha Sapphire: Although Gorebyss is the very picture of elegance and beauty while swimming, it is also cruel. When it spots prey, this Pokémon inserts its thin mouth into the prey's body and drains the prey of its body fluids.
Emerald: A Gorebyss siphons the body fluids of prey through its thin, tubular mouth. Its light pink body color turns vivid when it finishes feeding.
DPPl/BW&2/X: It lives at the bottom of the sea. In the springtime, its pink body turns more vivid for some reason.
HGSS: Its pink body becomes more vivid with the rise of water temperatures in the springtime.
Doesn't get Sturdy nor Illuminate as Abilities.Emerald: To withstand the crushing pressure of water deep under the sea, its spine is very thick and sturdy. Its tail, which is shaped like a small fish, has eyes that light up.
FRLG/X: It lives deep in the sea where no light ever filters down. It lights up its small fish-like tail to attract prey.
But, it evolves via being traded while holding a specific item.Sapphire/Alpha Sapphire: Clamperl grows while being protected by its rock-hard shell. When its body becomes too large to fit inside the shell, it is sure evidence that this Pokémon is getting close to evolution.
