Question about spiritomb
 
ok i heard there is a glitch that lets you use fire fang on a spiritomb with the wonder guard ability and it will actually hit. is this true?

For unknown reasons, yes, Fire Fang does hit through Wonder Guard regardless of the type of Pokémon with said ability. Of course, with Shedinja it would be super-effective anyway, but when Spiritomb/Sableye have been hacked with Wonder Guard it does hit them for damage.

Uh, yeah, that was why I said it was for 'unknown reasons'. It's just a glitch, or something Nintendo missed. It's as yet unknown if it has the same effect in Platinum.

well ihope they do lol just incase i fite against a spiritomb w/ that ability

The reason that is: Only Shedninja legitimately has that ability... Fire is super-effective to Bug, nullifying Wonderguard's effect... When the programmers were doing the coding for the Wonderguard ability, they didn't put in Fire Fang as a move protected by Wonderguard (on accident of course)

There you have it..

If that were the reason then all of shedinjas weaknesses should work.
