Who the flying fuck thought this was a good idea?

>>31125844
It is a good idea, because no one knows its a sound attack

Nose

Not to mention her HA takes away a priority Fairy move and effectively just gives her a water hyper voice

What did he mean by this?

>>31125844
It was going to be like Pollen Puff but they fucked up.

>>31125867
Yet it can actually become a liability in Healing your opponent's status.

>>31125956
two points, however

why not make it 90/100 or even 85/100 then? drill run has higher crit ratio and earthquake gets multi-targeting
there aren't enough double battles in the game to justify it

It could have been better if they make it work like Pollen Puff, making it boost stats if used in Allies.

>>31126220
>none of them hit behind subs

>>31126251
thats the thing about these certain attacks that are similar to already existing ones, they may find themselves on pokemon who don't have access to the standard option

>>31126317
Doesn't Milotic resist water-type moves?

>>31125902
>Priority Fairy move

Just rub in Play Rough is literally the only physical fairy move a little more, won't you?

>>31126220
If anything, Liquid Voice was the mistake. No reason to run it when Sparkling Aria is basically water type Hyper Voice already.

It's basically a Surf that goes through subs and counters Flame Orb users, why would you care it cures burns when you're choosing between that and Scald anyway?

>>31126591

Sparkling Aria hits your partner in Doubles, Hyper Voice doesn't.

>>31125844
>>31126132
I don't understand what the problem is with either of these

>people still not reading the part where it's sound based

scald is still better only because it's stupidly OP

>>31126132
>100,000 horsepower
>doesn't have 100 bp
Shameful

>>31127286
Yeah, but who wants to use a mon just for unboosted water Hyper Voice? It just seems way too niche for it to be worth anything.

>>31126536
that's a lot more complicated than switching in magnezone/xurkitree/koko and calling it a day

>>31126317
Highly fucking situation you cuck. Plus Primarina has Energy Ball which Milotic wouldn't like taking too many hits of.

>>31127326
It heals the opponent's fucking burn. Other than highly situational uses against Guts mons which requires comboing with Knockoff anyhow. It's a shitter flavor variant of surf and it's bullshit.

>>31127581
>shittier than surf
>it's a surf that goes through subs
What did he mean by this

>>31127412
Really fucking is a lame Ability that is literally a worse and more limited variant of the -ate/-ize abilities without good reason. The ONLY thing that would make this Ability worthwhile is Boomburst and like hell Gamefreak are gonna give this thing Boomburst.

>>31127627
Literally the only part that is of note. The burn healing aspect is too much of a pain in the ass.

>>31127639
apparently in doubles, liquid voice perish song can't hit pokemon with a water-healing ability and activates the ability

its not amazing but its something

In Gen 5 and 6, you can use Softboiled and Milk Drink to restore the HP of other pokemon, even though it only targets the self. Meanwhile, Heal Pulse can't be used outside of battle at all, when this is the entire point of the move

what the fuck, gamefreak

>>31127685
No it's not? You'll want to use Scald or Hydro Pump anyway, but that's because Scald is fucking broken

>>31125844
>this many people bitching about sparkling aria healing burns
I haven't touched competitive yet this gen, but didn't burn get nerfed this gen? It wasn't that common to begin with anyways, getting through subs seems like a perfectly reasonable trade-off.

>>31127685
>The burn healing aspect is too much of a pain in the ass.
you're probably not concerned with burns if you're running sparkling aria. if you are, run a different move

>>31127733
allow me to explain, milk drink literally creates a bunch of milk which you, the trainer, must collect with a glass or bottle, then shove down another pokemon's throat. Same thing with softboiled, you must collect the egg and force the pokemon to eat it. Meanwhile, heal pulse is a psychic booster, not something physical. Therefore, you cannot interact with it outside of battles.
>hurr let me just pick up this psychic energy and deposit it down my pokemon's throat

>>31127710
>apparently in doubles, liquid voice perish song can't hit pokemon with a water-healing ability
My gut says this isn't how it works, but I can't find anything about perish song + liquid voice (or + ion deluge/galvanize) except an offhand mention in a smogon thread. Source?

>>31127856
Just send out both at once and command Heal Pulse to be used?

>>31127856
you're retarded

>Ghost is the only type that can be affected by status moves from a type that it's immune to

>>31127905
Not possible in-game, the only time multiple pokemon can be out is in a battle, otherwise it is too hard for the trainer to control them and the pokemon will run off and/or not obey instructions. animefaggotry does not apply here.

>>31127923
let's hear your explanation then, genius.

>>31127890
I'm pretty sure someone on the smogon forums tested and confirmed it. Is this really all that useful though?

>>31127983
Not at all. Weird rules interactions just tickle my autism. Thanks anon.

>>31126132
So, I noticed in my playthrough that High Horsepower didn't miss when I was against minimize users. Did I just get lucky, or does it have the same thing Stomp does?

>>31127981
Source?

>>31128454

>>31127950
Isn't it just thunder wave that's coded to not effect ground types though? or am i retarded

>>31127950
You can use sand-attack on flying type pokemon, right?

>>31128942
you're retarded, electric moves are coded to not affect ground types. Normalize t-wave still paralyzes.

>>31129208
I'm fairly sure non electric moves that have paralysis as a potential effect can paralyze electric types as of gen 5, same with scald not being able to burn fire types

>>31129268
that has nothing to do with the retard up there thinking t-wave is hardcoded to not work on ground types. You are correct, para immunity was a gen 6 thing.

>>31129456
eerie impulse can hit ground types. Thunder wave is an exception when it comes to status moves as it follows type immunity,

>>31130778
nearly, if not all, stat moves ignore typing. sand attack hits flying types, for instance.

status inflicting moves are different, wil o wisp doesn't affect fire types, poison gas doesn't affect poison or steel types. exceptions are glare and hypnosis.

Sparkling Aria Should've been a fairy move that also doubles power when it heals burns on an opponent's Pokemon, and when used on an ally it just heals their burn, similar to how Pollen Puff basically turns into Heal Pulse when used on an Ally.

>>31126462
>thats the thing about these certain attacks that are similar to already existing ones, they may find themselves on pokemon who don't have access to the standard option
Everything that can learn High Horsepower can learn Earthquake. The one advantage High Horsepower is that it gives Mudbray a stupidly strong move at level 24 ingame.
