Erm, Sullen, I'd just like to point out that when Samus is using the Screw Attack, ANY contact with her is harmful. As in, that Blaziken would most likely be unable to walk properly after kicking Samus like that. Just FYI.

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

Yeah, me too; I'm waiting for a suitable terrain feature (see my last two posts) to pop up.

I dunno, the Metroids in Return of Samus are completely immune to non-missile damage. Suppose it depends on Blaziken's defence. [lol]

Metroids are immune to everything that isn't the Ice Beam or Power Bombs. In Super, at least. They've always been immune to the Screw Attack, somehow, so that isn't really the best example.

Fun fact: the only thing in Super Metroid that can harm Samus while she's in screw attack mode (IIRC) is the final boss.

Being a Metroid fan myself, kagescorpionnakki, I am well aware of that; the fact that this particular Blaziken was not injured by said Screw Attack was completely intentional. After all, it would hardly be a team-building exercise if one person could fell your target so easily, now would it?

Hail. I have returned.

Finally, I am back in New Zealand! What did I miss?

Not all that much; the hunt has begun in earnest, more or less.

So, it's a very well EV trained Blaziken.

Or a hacked one with the Wonderguard ability.

It seems more like that there Blaziken has Speed Boost.

Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.

Y'know, there are few feelings more depressing than reading a really good book, turning the page to find out what happens next... and waking up wondering why your fingers are pinching air.

We're hunting the Torchic that evolved to Blaizken in some forest Zahav conjured, as a team-building exercise.

How does Nightwolf know it's a Blaziken? We haven't been told.

Coming up with a silly explanation rather than just editing the proper noun is strange. :|
