>>24974638Fly is actually a good idea... I wasn't fond of at first because of the two turns thing, but it is a strong move, safe like you said because it will deal a fair amount of damage if the opponent switch, and then Aero is fast enough to finish or to go away.
But is Hone Claws really important ? Aero is not the most bulky Poke out there... My Aero has Aerial Ace (but I will maybe replace it with Fly now), Earthquake (but I hesitate to replace it with Stone Edge, but I'm bothered with the accuracy), and I have Fire and Thunder Fang (to fuck up the Water type). The two last moves are important for coverage, so do you think it is possible to skip Hone Claws but remain effective anyway ?
