3rd Gen "A Punch Filled with Destructive Power!"

Did you get Mega Punch or Kick to help you beat Misty? How long did you keep it on your Pokemon?

I normally did, but this time around I figured I wouldn't since I had a team that could beat Misty pretty easily. However, when I did my Charizard Solo run it was a necessity to get both of these.

Now that I think about it. If you got a Clefairy in Mt. Moon Mega Punch could be an awesome attack for it.

I usually skip out on them because either a) I don't have a Pokemon that can learn it or b) because I don't like those moves very much.

I thought one of these moves (can't remember which) to Charmeleon in FireRed, and yes, it certainly helped defeating Misty. :] In LeafGreen though, I didn't bother teaching these attacks to anyone.

I used Mega kick and Mega punch both. I mostly used to teach Mega kick Pikachu or any other Pokemon. I didn't teach Mega kick to any my starter as Mega kick is only 5 pps move. And its fast enough to be gone in a minute. So i barely teach my starter a Mega punch as it has 10 or 15 pp. And yes i used it against Misty. I forgot if it work well or not though :P

I taught mega kick to charmeleon and use pikachu just for its electric against misty!

Actually skipped on it. I'm more on leveling or evolving my starter to 2nd evolution before battling the 1st gym. So the winning rate would be 100%.

Oh yes, I remember :3
I used to have a Pikachu (later Raichu) in my team 90% of the time, so I would teach her Mega Punch as an extra move to kick ass in Misty's gym :3 If my Pikachu would faint in battle, I always had my Nidoqueen at hand to use Mega Kick! :3

Great. Me too many times i got up teaching Mega kick to Pikachu.

I never use those. Pikachu save me!

I never used the meg punch/kick moves to beat Misty as I caught an Bellspourt/Oddish to help beat her.

I always put them on my pikachu :P actualy it helped me beat the e4 too

I always put one of those moves on one of my Pokemon that can learn them. An 80 base attack power before the 2nd gym is really strong, so why not? :P (I'm talking about Mega Punch, ofc)

I've used Mega Punch more than Mega Kick because more Pokemon are able to use that attack than Mega Kick.

Both? I usually have a nido-evolution and my starter, so I would teach mega punch to one and mega kick to another. Out of the two, I do prefer Mega Punch, though. Mega Kick misses quite a bit.

Those attacks are pretty great early-game, but I almost never use them.

I usually add them on my pokemon whenever I can - I love having variety of different moves on each pokemon.
