I'm sock that People still think Pokémon are animals.

In Gen 4 your Pokémon can't die from poison outside battles.

Water resists Ice ????????????????

>>33276019
It doesn't lol I just tested it with my Ninetales that knows freeze-dry

>>33276030
I thought it used to and they changed it recently?

>>33276038
in case you're actually confused, water does resist ice but freeze-dry is a specific ice type move that is super effective on water

>Sky drop fails if the target is too heavy to carry

Why though ?

Can't drop them from the sky if you can't pick them up in the first place.

I always kinda somewhat knew OF ev's/iv's/natures but I never cared and just caught and used 'mons even legendaries willy nilly without a second thought for their natures.

Until after I beat sun, that is.

For the longest time I thought EVs and IVs weren't an actual thing. I remember seeing webcomics mention them but I thought they were just fluff words to make Pokemon sound deeper than it really is.

Obviously this was before Super Training was a thing. Because "Defeat 252 Geodudes to max out your Pokemon's Defense stat" sounds just as ridiculous as "Beat the Elite Four 100 times to unlock Bill's secret garden."

I didn't understand what a shiny pokemon was until gen 4. I thought the red gyarados was a special story pokemon and all other shiny pokemon I encountered were a glitch.

i only found out that ghost types cant be arena trapped just last week

I didn't know that ditto was gender less until gen 7 ...

I always thought that poison was SE against flying and resisted by water and dark until I started playing showdown

>>33276490
Wow this is news to me.

>>33276536
Pls explain, I'm curious

>>33275949
I had been playing Pokemon since gen 1.
It took until Platinum for me to realize Ice was weak to Rock and Fighting.

>>33275949
I didn't know what the difference between a physical and special attack was until gen 6 when I got back into the series.
