>>35526812>Draco Meteor > Meteor ShowerYou do realize that this is based on a pun that can't be translated into English, correct? In a sense the Japanese name is better because of its pun. The move was also named by a fan who read a Japanese Pokemon magazine, so that's doubly cool. Draco Meteor is just boring.
>Close Combat > InfightDo you know what infighting is?
>>35529008It's still not a chop though. Thrusting is more or less what the opponent does, which is why various Pokemon without hands (but do have horns, spikes, stingers, and beaks) can use the move. This name might have been fine in SM when the only Pokemon that could learn it have hands, but not anymore.
The "Hell" reference in the Japanese name makes much more sense on why this is classified as a Dark-type move. You attack the opponent unfairly and cripple them as a result. For that Pokemon, breathing and using its voice would be hell (especially for Pokemon in VGC that rely on sound moves as a gimmick). Throat Chop sounds like it could be a Fighting-type move.
