Who actually uses the move Explosion?

In the games where the TM is a high value prize, who is the cruel, heartless trainer who goes out of their way to teach their Pokemon to commit suicide?

Even in gen 7 the TM is pretty hard to obtain.

It's still a move not many people would want their Pokemon to learn considering it makes them faint. Yet the developers treat is like it's this high value move that people will grind for.

I always thought this was more about world building than game design
why wouldn't you make a technique that causes huge explosions be hard to get?
it has merits in pokemon battle, sure, but it needs to be tough to get so nobody malicious gets their hands on it and starts blowing things up

It's probably for when a gym leader or an elite four member is handing you your ass. A last resort move that's hard to obtain. Works in wireless battles. Or to just discipline your pokemon.

Mega Glalie sets. I use a fun Snorlax set with Self Destruct and Normal Gem. Not as much anymore, but I’m BW I could go into matchmaking for triple battles and make people rage quit by wiping half their team in one attack.

I’m just glad that even though they got rid of the elemental gems, they kept the Normal Gem for some reason.

For those who don't remember, this move used to essentially kill anything that wasn't a ghost type. Literally a 500 base power attack. Sure, it's shit now, but it used to be a nice kill button when you were battling someone else. I think any mon that got explosion had it on their moveset guaranteed.

It's a move the computer uses to make things harder for you. It's not really intended for player use and 99% of the time you won't want it on your in-game team. The fact that you can get it too is just a fun bonus. That's why it's always near the end of the game and hard to obtain, it's a fun extra bonus, not a tool you're really expected to use.

I remember when dedicated leads were a thing, most people just ran something fast that learned sneaky pebbles and explosion as theirs.
I seem to recall Azelf being pretty popular.

It's not really something you'd use in a single player game, but if used right, it can be a useful tool in competitive battling. It's good for if your opponent has a really tough Pokemon and you're willing to sacrifice yours to defeat it, or if your Pokemon is likely to faint anyway.

The real useless suicide move is Memento, something I could never see anyone in the right mind use.

Memento is useful when you have Uxie and you've just set up weather/Trick Room and want Uxie to die ASAP. You're able to get your offensive mon in on something that can't really do anything to it and then ravage the enemy's team for a while.

it is common sense. Back before Gen 5 it was a guaranteed kill since it had an effective BP of 500. Now that it's been nerfed AND we have Z-moves for the same thing there's no reason to use explosion unless you want some shit for a showderp set

Explosion was much better prior to Gen V when it was nerfed. It previously halved the target's Defense before calculating damage.
