Geodude has a 1/3 chance of being caught just with a Pokeball at full health, so you should have just thrown Pokeballs at it.

Really, most unevolved Pokemon have high enough catch rates that you can easily catch them at full health. Just chuck Pokeballs at them until you catch them instead of accidentally killing them like I keep hearing about in this thread.

Whenever i wander around, I ALWAYS bring my scizor with me. It has false swipe, and that way I won't ever miss a shiny.

...did i mention i have over 800 pokeballs? Because I do.

I'm still salty that no mon with Mega Launcher has good moves to abuse it with. Raise Water Pulse's BP, dammit!

I always carry around a False Swiper with me, and I always save my Master Ball just in case of extenuating circumstances like a shiny that knows Explosion.

[up]Clawitzer and Blastoise get Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, and Dragon Pulse, and while Water Pulse is sorta weak it reaches a respectable 90 base power with Mega Launcher, same power as Surf but with the Confusion chance. What more do you want?

Does Mega Launcher affect Flash Cannon?

[up] Nope.

[up][up] For it to go to something that can abuse it for STAB, not coverage. That is to say, a Fighting, Dark or Dragon type with their respective Pulse move. It frustrates me to see so much wasted potential for it.

[up][up]no. the moves boosted by mega launcher are:

Aura Sphere

Dark Pulse

Dragon Pulse

Heal Pulse

Origin Pulse

Water Pulse

the reason aura sphere gets boosted is because of the japanese names for the ability and the moves, but i don't remember the specifics.

Heal Pulse gets boosted? Really?

Anything with Pulse in it, plus Aura Sphere because Japanese.

Heals 75% rather than 50, yeah.

Which means that giant crab thing is a better healer than the dedicated ones.

Aura Sphere's Japanese name is Pulse Bomb IIRC, hence why it gets grouped with the others.

But yeah, Focus Blast and Hydro Pump would enjoy the compatibility. Stuff that Bulletproof stops should be the one that gets boosted by Mega Launcher.

Is Work Up a good move for Mienshao?

Strangely enough, I haven't really seen anyone recommend Work Up for competitive battle despite I find it just decent.

Anyway, does anyone remember Berserk Gene? Actually, I forgot about it until now, and its effect is really awful.

Use it on a mon with Own Tempo or something like that.

Even then the only thing with a good Attack stat that has Own Tempo is Avalugg.
