Close Combat was a mistake
isn't this amazing because of its secondary effect
>>58197034? I never forgot about it, it's a great move
>>58197057Screens are situationalMost that learn it have better Fighting moves to run
>>58197034I send some of my violet pokemon to shield to learn the move easier using pokemon home. I never forgot brick break was a move. It's absence from legends Arceus was notable. You sound like Jaidenanimations assuming I've never played pokemon xd gale of darkness.
>>58197088Almost every doubles team runs screens
>>58197034I can't forget the most reliable fighting move in gen 3.
>>58197034retroactively BTFO by drain punch
>>58197034Reminder that Psychic Fangs is 85 and also destroys screens
>>58197034The GOAT of Gen 3.>>58197052I agree. 120 BP move with no real drawback set a really fucking stupid precedence and turned Fighting from a hype type to a fucking retarded type overnight.
>>58197331>Gen VIIISo it's also never been in a good game.
>>58197052The problem was turning it into a TM that even a fucking fish can learn
>>58197034>now rememberNigga that's my go-to fighting type move, especially since it's usually a TM
>>58197052gen 8 giving it to everything was the true mistake. its drawbacks are negligible compared to HJK or superpower while having the reliability of the weaker drain punch or brick break
>that base power >that secondary effect >Learned at a relatively early level It carried me through gen IV.
>>58197057not really, screens aren’t particularly common so losing out on 45 base power or healing just isn’t worth it most of the time>>58197034i would never, i ran it on my mega mawile in draft like a month ago
