>Slowbro can learn Aerial Ace what the literal fuck

Short explanation: Aerial Ace's Japanese name is a reference to a sword cutting technique. Presumably Slowbro can learn it because it has claws to cut with.

>>31437350
Whenever something like this happens, it's due to translation issues

It's a stupid Japanese pun because there's a sword technique that has a bird's name in it. The translators just kind of gave up and gave it a random flying-sounding name.

>>31437397
I'd say he leans it because it's funny if he learns a technique that's renowned for its legendary speed

>>31438850
But what does Slowbro have to do with a festival or Daimonji?

>>31438884
no idea

>>31437350
So can Groudon.

Arial Ace is called "Tsubame Gaeshi" in jap, roughly translating to "Swallow Cut." The namesake is a famous sword technique developed by some hotshit Samurai that later got his shit pushed in by Musashi, but he was still fast as shit.

I reckon that's kind of the joke. The slow pokemon can learn a blindingly fast cut.

Aerial Ace is a move with a huge distribution, so it kinda makes sense.

Spiders ARE bugs. Bug is a generic, unscientific term for creepy crawly things. They aren't insects, but they are bugs.

>Cryogonal can learn Attract

>>31437350
Nidoqueen can learn Aerial Ace. Nidoking can't. What?

>>31440443
That's likely a fuck up because TMs changes between gens.

In gen 5, TM051 was ally switch, and pic related could learn it because ayylmaos=area 51, and psychic move and stuff.

In gen 6 TM051 became steel wing but I doubt anybody checked what TMs beheeyem could learn and it got stuck with this random ass physical steel move that it can't even use well.

I think at this point it'd be funny if beheeyem got whatever move TM051 is in any gen no matter what.

>>31440959
or maybe it got intentionally left with 51 even though really it couldn't use it just to continue the joke

>>31440959
Or maybe it's STILL a reference since UFOs are made of some kind of steel.

>if beheeyem got whatever move TM051 is in any gen no matter what.
That's probably going to be a thing.

Remember that if it was a fuck-up it would have been fixed, like the S.S. Kommo-o. It's intentional.

>>31440871
It's a special snowflake

>>31440990

This begs the question:

What oddball move set as TM 51 would benefit Beeheeyem the most?

>>31441031
Nigga, we are reaching levels of dank we are not supposed to

Don't let showderp know

>>31441031
Yes. Aerial ace + Flynium Z is pretty great, just for the animation alone, due to the sheer ridiculousness of some of the pokemon that can use it.

Bewear, Ferrothorn, Dugtrio, Delibird, are some excellent candidates.

Are you retarded?

>>31442156
Ice Hammer is literally the same thing as Hammer Arm, but Ice. Besides, giving it access to Hammer Arm is a long ways from making it good. It still only functions well in Doubles TR teams.

>>31442156
Are you implying it would be broken with Hammer Arm? Because it really wouldn't be.

>>31441907

Dynamic Punch is night worthless outside of No Guard, because getting it to hit is a literal coin toss.

Crabominable will be slighty better if it gets Drain Punch.

>>31438850
>Anatawa Baggudesuyo

But Close Combat is better on slower Pokemon you mong
Besides, how could you ever say Dynamic Punch is good on something without No Guard?

>>31438731
Probably because it looks a bit like a salamander and mythical salamanders are associated with fire.

This brings up the question of why Quagsire can't learn Fire Blast, though.

>>31442224

Still better than close combat

It's useless

Araquinid has entrainment, use it in doubles to give Crabominable it's god tier ability with fire immunity

He learn crabhammer so that gets boosted

>>31442357
Zoom lens would only make it 55% accurate, which is still shit. At least close combat makes sure it actually deals damage if it gets to move.

>Crabhammer doesn't get boosted by iron fist

Missed opportunity

>>31442437

Wide lens is %10

Zoom lens is %20 if you move last and last I checked Crabominable is slow as fuck

You are completely incorrect. Bugs is a specific scientific term, generally referring to beetles. Spiders do not have similar structures and have an extra set of legs. Arachnids are in a totally separate group called Chelicerates, which includes sea spiders (pic related) and horseshoe crabs and other weird things you might not have heard of like pseudoscorpions and whip scorpions.

>Using the correct definition of "bug" is autistic
You must be REALLY mad that you are wrong. Again, you said that "bug' is a generic, unscientific term. It certainly can be, but it damn well does have a scientific base. So eat shit.

>>31438811

Chink = Chinese you dumbass. GameFreak is a Japanese company. You're playing a game primarily made by Japanese people.

>>31442524
there is no single "real" definition. and if there was one, it would be the one that is most used in actual language. and that would be the one that encompasses spiders

there are many, many scientific terms that were actually just hijacked from common words and then given specific, narrow definitions within their fields

>>31442488
Bugs (Hemiptera) does not refer to beetles (Coleoptera), it refers to bugs (Hemiptera).

>>31442511
>>31442524
You're both right-ish, but the term "bug" referring to anything that seems like a creepy many-legged arthropod is technically incorrect.

Can it breed with Krabby? Then yes.

This sort of transitivity applies across all Pokemon.

I want to cause confusion

What's better

Dizzy Punch

Or

Dynamic Punch

Both are boosted by Iron Fist

>>31442560
You're correct, I double checked just a second ago about beetles. Sorry about that. Arthropods are not my thing, I'm a Mollusca man myself.

>>31442574
If memory serves Barnacles are close relatives of Shrimp.

>>31442611
Which are you willing to risk?

>>31442488
>>31442524
"Bug" is a common colloquial term that has been long used to describe the vast majority of land-dwelling invertebrates, be they insects, arachnids, or isopods. Just because scientists adapted the term doesn't mean the colloquial usage is wrong. Quit being autistic.

>>31442631
Stop samefagging man, this is embarrassing.

You either risk damage with dizzy Punch

Or accuracy with Dynamic

It's your choice

>>31442631
If you want to call it autism then call it autism, it doesn't change the fact that it's technically incorrect - it's be like if I called a motorized road skateboard an automobile because it has 4 wheels and is meant for the road; people would probably say I was wrong.

No, because it's not wrong. It's a word with multiple definitions. And the most common one includes spiders.

>>31443057
I'm about done showing everyone I'm right. Everyone who isn't an autist appreciates that words can have multiple meanings, and that the meaning of a word within a niche field does not equate its common meaning

What will really make your head spin is that some words have multiple scientific meanings that contradict. Wow. Which one is the correct one? Maybe we should measure which one is the most scientific and apply that to all conversations. Or maybe not, you fucking autist

>>31443079
The entire point, my dear angry autist, is that you said bug was unscientific. That is incorrect.

And actually it's both correct and incorrect. "Bug" is scientific. "Bug" is unscientific. How can both of these be true? Wow. It's as if words can have multiple meanings, and it's as if these multiple meanings can all be correct. We're entering a whole new world of language here. You fucking faggot.

I hope you realize that "bug" didn't get chosen out of nowhere as a niche scientific term and then only later adapted wrongly by the unwashed masses. It was the other way around. It was a common word with a different meaning readapted to mean a certain thing within the context of a certain field.

I'm ultra fucking surprised we don't have like a Twisted Rock or some shit that boosts TR like weather is boosted.
