I literally didn't know this move existed until I was looking through the list of new moves. Why would they bother making such a cool new move and give it only to Heatmor in a Gen where it isn't even in the dex?

Flame Whip.... Fire Lash... so, of the Pokemon that could in theory whip and have fire powers, we have Charizard, Ninetales, Arcanine, Flareon, Infernape, Pyroar, Incineroar, Groudon, Salazzle, maybe Chandelure and a stretch to say Marowak?

I've spent MORE than enough time being angry about this. So many fire types would've loved a decent base power physical fire move without shit recoil or whatever, and they give it to the special based heatmor that isn't even in this game.

My friends managed to convince me it exists just so they can give it to more things in whatever else comes out in Gen VII. Basically, like how Spiky Shield WAS just exclusive to Chesnaught, but then in ORAS they also gave Spiky Shield to Cacturne and Maractus. Same happened for a few other moves.

If Sinnoh Remakes happen, I can maybe see Infernape or Houndour getting it in particular.

Power Trip, bp 20 move that increases in power for every stat boost the user has. Obviously this is useful on a krook with moxie.

Dunno how viable it is with such a low starting power though. Seribii says it's a 100% power increase per stat up so it goes up in 20s. No idea where it caps.

you need to DD once and get a Moxie boost for it to match Crunch in power, the more immediate power of crunch is usually going to be much better in the long run

Giving a free 120 BP move after passing the stats to it and it'll start racking up moxie boosts real fast.

Don't know about Game Freak's "intention", but realistically if you REALLY wanted to make use of Power Trip, the way you would do it would be by using Bulk Up. Play kinda like that one Sigilyph set that abuses Stored Power.

Either that or Baton Pass (or both).

that'd be 140 but yes that could synergize if power trip was on the krookodile but then porygon2 isn't running eviolite which means it's dead in the water if krookodile dies.

These are both true, but there is also the fact that despite ants having a reputation for being hard workers it's not uncommon to find lazy moocher ants in the colony that don't really contribute at all.

Bernie was the only candidate I liked. I ended up voting Johnson though, because my vote wouldn't have mattered otherwise. Gotta love being in South Carolina. Too bad the Green Party fucks didn't do the same, because then we would actually have a third party to force the big two to listen to the electorate. I obviously want Trump to do well, because if he doesn't then America gets fucked. However, his cabinet nominations shit all over the populist sentiment his campaign was built upon. The nominations of a climate change denier to the head of the EPA, the CEO of ExxonMobil to Secretary of State, and an anti-public-education retard to head of the Department of Education in particular actually make me nervous. I didn't think much would change if Trump got elected; I predicted that he would almost immediately backpedal on his crazy positions, but not to this extent. Fuck man, I'm just hoping we actually rework Obamacare, rework Common Core, and actually switch over to nuclear energy (it would make electricity *practically* free for the average person). That's all I want. I'm done ranting now.
