If the foe inhales them, it will fall asleep. Special spores are scattered from mushrooms. If the opponent inhales the spores, it will fall asleep. If powered up by a Grassium Z into Z-Spore, all of the user's lowered stats are reset. Spore can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing certain moves ( Dream Eater, Hex, Nightmare and Wake-Up Slap) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn. Pokémon under the effect of Sweet Veil are also unaffected by Spore. Grass-type Pokémon, Pokémon with Overcoat, and Pokémon holding the Safety Goggles are now immune to Spore. In the Generation I handheld games only, Spore can affect a target behind a substitute. Spore cannot affect targets with Insomnia or Vital Spirit as their Ability. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.It's rare that they ever acknowledge the "creepiness" so many people see in this innocent little weirdo, but they apparently decided a puppet clown should be capable of drowning you with bugs. Pretty much the one and only Pokemon who learns this move without any obvious thematic reason?
If it's crawly or slimy or stinky or spooky, there's a high chance it can unleash a plague of fleas on its opponent, including such favorites of mine as Gloom, Sliggoo, Garbodor, Cofagrigus, Carnivine, Tangela, Toxapex, Mimikyu, Barbaracle and even Magcargo. I don't know the answer, but the reason this beats Leech Seed on my personal list is that they gave this one to very nearly every single Pokemon I'd have given it to myself.
MOVES THAT MAKE POKEMON SLEEP SERIES
So, to the surprise of nobody, one of my favorite moves in the series and the best choice for my "#1" is this relatively newer sixth-gen bug type attack that traps your opponent for several turns in a swarm of black pixels representing some sort of "infestation." Are they actual, non-pokemon insects, or are they conjured from "energy" like so many other moves? An outbreak of phantom lice willed into existence by the essence of pure bugness? Infestation really would have made perfect sense with Leech Seed's mechanics, and I could see the ghost and psychic types wielding similar multi-turn draining attacks as well. Here's hoping that, some day, they might at least come out with an equivalent for some other type. The move is also exclusive to grass types with the exception of Comfey and Celesteela, even though I personally think a life-draining weed would make perfect sense for my favorite garbage and pollution mons to unleash on their foes. Oddish, inexcusably, could only ever have Leech Seed from a Japan-only distribution event or from the New York City Pokemon Center. Problem is, my all-time favorite move on paper is learned by only a small number of Pokemon that I really like, and not by any of my top favorites except Parasect and Tangrowth, who still have a hard time fitting in on my teams.
I even talked back in my review of the grass type that I wish Leech Seed itself could evolve into a pokemon, and that still stands. Isn't that an even angrier Banette situation waiting to happen?Īnd speaking of parasitism, this move inflicts the opponent with a nasty little vine that sucks out some of their health each turn and siphons it back to your active pokemon, which is amazing, even if it clears as soon as the opponent switches out, and has been my favorite move both mechanically and conceptually since the very first generation. I don't know when it became canon that it was just a stuffed animal, but if we're going to stick with that, isn't it high time we also evolve the poor thing into a Pokemon all its own? Other Pokemon are already pouring their "life energy" into these plushes every single day, only for them to get beaten up on. I'm pretty sure Substitute was even portrayed a variety of different ways in manga, anime and trading cards. What this move does is cut a quarter of the user's health to set up a plush dummy that'll absorb status moves and damage until it "breaks." Where does the plush come from? I assumed during the red/blue days that the substitute was some kind of biological or telekinetic clone, or something, and thought I was extra clever giving it to Pokemon like Muk and Weezing who really seemed like they should be able to branch little duplicates off themselves. Mime, the first Pokemon that could ever learn it by ordinary leveling up, if I recall correctly. This is a move that can be learned by pretty much any Pokemon capable of learning TM moves, which is pretty much every pokemon line in the game, though back in the first generation it was still kind of presented as a special signature move of Mr.
