  • You know how when you do Pokemon battles you generally take damage? What if you just don't?

      I had my Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke ended by a combination of Jupiter's Zubat and Skuntank. I was going to use Geodude to kill Zubat and Skuntank with rock and ground moves but Zubat one shotted it with Giga Drain, then my other Pokemon fell to her team. I'm sure I had other Pokemon in the PC but I was going on the rule that if you black out once you lose.

      Actually, it would matter. Since he has to save at every gym, and since poison does damage while walking, he would be unable to exit the gym without taking damage, meaning he would be softlocked and must restart the entire challenge. He would need an antidote or a Pecha berry to avoid this, which would be unlikely for him to own, considering the rules of the challenge.

      @RuneCraftPC 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      There is actually one single scenario I can think of where Natural gift would be useful over any other move of Ghost type for Giratina, albeit not in Platinum but later generations. As you know, Ghost is one of Giratina's weaknesses. If you are running a Physical Giratina, it's strongest physical Ghost type move it can learn is usually "Shadow Force" with 120BP. However, this move can open you up to hits during the two turn attack, as any Pokemon with the ability "No guard" that is also Ghost type (such as Honedge or Golett) can 100% hit you with a Ghost type move during the transition stage of Shadow Force. Using Natural gift (and holding a Custap berry) Giratina will use an 80BP, physical, one-turn Ghost type move, stronger than any other one-turn physical Ghost move it can learn. In this scenario, Natural gift is the strongest possible Physical Ghost type move with 100 Accuracy.
