Every Identical Pokémon Attack Ever 

What about Fake Tears?

@@AshenDust_ user's attempt to make opponent believe that the user cannot use dig

@@Dminun Fake Out?

Smallant reference, lol

@@AshenDust_ dig but It cant ko

Also, Moonblast's rate of effect is 30%, whereas Sludge Wave's is 10%. I would dispute the notion entirely that they are clones.

Did they mean sludge bomb then?

@@wormsblink2887 I think that they were probably just mistaken. Sludge Bomb does have a 30% chance of effect, but it's 90BP instead of 95BP, so there's no perfect match out of any 2 of the 3.

Same with Flame Charge and Struggle Bug, Mud Shot and Precipice Blades

​@@AshenDust_as of now, flame charge has a counterpart in Trailblaze, a Grass move.

I know; I'm still mad they got rid of it for no reason! It was maybe the most common Bug move on non-Bug types...

Yez

It’s not like anyone wants bug coverage anyways

@@emperorcubone return and frustration being removed is a crime as well. Imagine the power with pokemon camp's involvement making it so easy to bond with pokemon.

@@Zekken_The_Lodestar that's true

Hah, time has no meaning!

Yes it does cuz then it's actually mirror shot and mudbomb that are copies

@@emperorcubone *Dialga crying in corner*

@@jaschabull2365 Celebi: (cries in irrelevence)

Volt switch is special?? My life is a lie

Me too idont know why?

@@thehumbleumbreon4558 For me it's because he can make such interesting and unique video ideas.

@@coxcomix1508 yeah youre right

Same

Same and this video was longer than usual so that was cool

Here just to point out that zangeese is genius and ilarious

The plural of "mongoose" is apparently actually just "mongooses", though.

Infiltrator does not break Protect and its variations. It only ignores Substitute, Light Screen, Reflect and Aurora Veil

@@MegaSpark24 uhh... quick! Someone silence this man! He knows too much!

Zangoose's hidden ability, however, is toxic boost. An ability that boosts its attack when it is poisoned. So certain Zangoose are able to fight back even harder once it gets poisoned by Seviper.

I hope you'll feel better!

@@emperorcubone thanks mate, interesting video as always

hah, smallant reference

Yep

Yes

Hah, interesting compliment but I'll take it!

Probably identical abilities

Zap Cannon was the same until its base power was boosted to 120.

@@Compucles why was it boosted tho?

He must've not witnessed shell smash cloyster using it or any pokemon in the mystery dungeon games using it

We'll get there soon enough!

Guillotine and Horn Drill can't hit Ghost types (apart from Foresight, Scrappy, etc). And _technically_ none of them can hit Shedinja (aside from Fissure under a very specific set of circumstances)

@@aaronodonoghue1791 that last one is wrong. Fissure the one exception. Excadrill is the only Pokemon with access to Mold Breaker _and_ a one hit KO move, that being Fissure. It is highly unlikely, but it is 100% possible to break through Shedinja’s Wonder Guard using this setup.

@@PansyPops I never knew that Mold Breaker could cancel Wonder Guard, I just thought Wonder Guard was immune to all ability swapping, copying and cancelling so as not to break the game

@@aaronodonoghue1791 Wonder Guard I’m pretty sure isn’t immune to Mold Breaker, since it stops all abilities like it (eg Levitate), so I’m pretty sure it does cancel out. I’ll have to test it out soon, see what happens. Edit- people are saying it does, I looked it up and it does cancel out.

@@tga4829 I can confirm this is correct. I remember hearing that it was higher in Hail, but I must be getting it mixed up with contests.

Hmm. There certainly could be a lot that would fit well, but how would it work? Like would Intimidate only work have as well on Fairy types but double on Psychic?

@@emperorcubone You could just cover the more popular and interesting abilites, and leave out some of the more boring ones. And I kinda thought Abilities having types wouldn't affect the gameplay, but since that *would* make the video more interesting, here are some ideas: 1. The ability essentially adds a second or third type to the Pokémon, giving the Pokémon more STAB options, but also adding weaknesses. 2. The abilities work better/worse against the opponent, depending on the typing, like you said with Intimidate working worse on fairies, but better on Psychics. Of course this will become complicated with Abilities like Levitate, which simply grants a ground immunity. In those cases, the types can be ignored, I suppose. I can't think of much else. 3. Add some new moves that interact with the abilities, like changing the Pokémon's type to the Abilitily's type, or dealing damage according to the Ability's damage (like Hidden power or Nature power) Either way it'll probably be a lot of work to think of how it could work, or if it would simply be visual. But I'd be willing to see such a video in the future! A small addition: In gen 3, it was planned that not all Pokémon wouldn't have abilities, so that inspired me a bit. Not all abilities wouls have types, mainly to avoid having way too many normal-type abilities.

The problem is Sturdy, since it can be Rock, Ground and Steel. Another problem is Vital Spirit (Vital in Health, meaning Fairy or Fighting in the Pokemon World and Spirit is either Ghost or Psychic).

Won't levitate be better with psychic? I get why you said flying, but think about it: Levitation is lifting yourself up by using psychic energy. If your defense is that pokemon like Flygon, which has wings, has the ability. That's because they can't fit the flying type in since it's ground-dragon, so they gave it levitate. No hate though. Wonderful idea!

@@Yesenn maybe instead of adding a third typing to pokemon for an ability it could affect the personality? Like instead of having nature's it would give different bonus and minus stats based on the personality type that the ability would give? Idk just a thought, still love the idea though, it's really cool.

Not everyone can be 1st, but thank you! You have great taste!

Yeah same. I wish he said at the start what he deems "same"

I will list all the protects variants- Protect Detect Baneful Bunker Spiky Shield King's Shield And that's it iirc.

​@@idosomethingiguess3680Mat Block and Wide Guard, too.

I personally think ices resistances should be against water, grass, flying, and dragon. I don't remember the actual defences Ice types have. I feel like these defences would significantly buff Ice types for sure.

@@Zekken_The_Lodestar Yeah Ice only resists itself.

@@thecontrarysnivy Kinda sad really. I had so much potential and yet... Nothing. The Ice type got nothing at all. I feel sorry for those pokemon sometimes. Pokemon like Auorus and other Ice types.

Gracias!

That'd be cool! Ghosts specifically cannot be trapped anymore, but it'd still be nice.

Yeah that's… almost true. It's all fun and games until… *focus blast* comes into play.

You bite your tongue! No, I can see that, I just value full accuracy more than most other things.

@@emperorcubone Still, Earthquake isn't that good in double battles unless you build your team around Flying types and Levitaters. Even then, I think single target moves are more useful the majority of the time in double battles, anyway. As such, I think the 90/95 BP, 100% accuracy attacks (aside from Surf) are overall better if we're not counting the 100 BP, 100% accuracy signature moves of certain Legends and Myths. Bolt Beak and Fisheous Rend are right up there, as well.

IMO In a video like this Historical data should be used too. Sludge wave is more like a thunderbolt than a Moonblast. Its just because Thunderbolt, Flamethrower and Ice beam have been nerfed at the point poison types got mlre love from Game freak. Zap Cannon should also be grouped with Inferno and the other 50%ACC 100% Status moves like it would have been prior to gen 4. Beeing 100% strict on BP ACC and PP but lenient on Secondary effects make little sense to me. And also completely leaving out who gets hit if its a double battle. Id say a move is more defined by its secondary effect and then should be categorised into the otheres. Nobody would call Fury swipe and the other multi hit moves Low Power, okayish to good accuracy and medium to high PP moves.

Doesn't match all the stats; functionality alone isn't enough...

Not when it has 20 more in power (so doesn't match...)

Yes to the first four, but different types and physical/special status are expected. It's just cool to see how Ice types or Ground types might have variations on a Normal type move...

only 60 BP though

120 power does not equal 100 power, so not "identical."

@@emperorcubone I didn't realize the power was different, my bad

By TM, but other Pokemon could learn it too. Moltres was the only one to get it naturally.

@@emperorcubone That's not what defines a signature move. Although, oddly, Softboiled became a signature move of the Chansey family in Gen 2 after it wasn't one in Gen 1 due to Mew being able to learn it by TM.

Not identical moves, even if similar...

It wasn't me just deciding to compare them, these were classified as variants of each other in the game's code...

Just wishful thinking I guess...

Cool, you're welcome!

Right, but you'd have to specifically breed it for that because if you used it through a game there's no way you could make it hate you that much...

Several actually, like the hidden ability Unova starters...

I know Steven's shiny Beldum had it.

and it has a high crit ratio
