Splash
 
Is there any point to this move?

rocklee666 August 27th, 2009 12:09 PM

Nope..not at all..I think it is just to fill up space?

ACE9 August 27th, 2009 12:32 PM

I think its just to make magikarp as useless as possible and hard to train

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ August 28th, 2009 4:07 PM

it makes Magikarp, Hoppip, Skiploom and Jumpluff feel very special

Don't forget wailmer, wailord, spoink, and grumpig ;D

I think splash is there so that people can make jokes about how it pwns arceus 'n' stuff.

There was a rumour back in the day that Splash was the only move that was super-effective or OHKO'd Mew, Mewtwo, or various (unreal) Pokegods.

NecromancingSaga August 28th, 2009 6:11 PM

is there other move that is useless like splash?

I have to agree with you.

Tudj August 28th, 2009 7:17 PM

Its there so Magicarp can actually learn a move so you dont battle it and it knows nothing

MAizHxC August 29th, 2009 4:08 AM

its like free EXP when you vs a magikarp/hoppip etc in the wild... lol

bit.trip void August 29th, 2009 1:39 PM

Wee, 23 EXP. :O

Its just to make Magikarp hard to train until he gets Tackle, and later Flail, or he evolves. I think it's probably a space filler, so that Magicrap isn't completely useless. (Though I'd prefer Struggle imo)

splash doesnt have to be useless. its better to have splash than no move (-> struggle) in some situations, since you dont hurt yourself with splash. f.e. if your enemy is poisoned or burned, you can theoretically kill him only using splash from this point and lose a lot less hp since pokemon that know splash wont do enough damage with struggle to kill the enemy faster xD
but apart form this, i have to accept the fact that splash sucks =[

Timbjerr August 30th, 2009 1:13 AM

Hay guyz, i herd taht if u use splash 40 times in teh same battle, it creates a titalwave taht destroys all teh pokeymans on teh feild. :DD

...or something to that effect. I heard a lot of crazy rumors when I was a kid. XD

Tudj August 30th, 2009 1:47 AM

You can't believe that can you, no matter how many times you use splash it does NOTHING, not even if you use it 40 times, IT CANT DO ANYTHING, besides when it runs out and the pokemon uses struggle than its not really useless, until it dies.

MAizHxC August 30th, 2009 6:14 AM

If i every want to get a garydos when i have a magikarp that only knows splash i just put it first in the party and then withdraw it so it gains some exp until it learns tackle...

Hmmm...idk...where did you get you stuck-up prickish attitude from???

I think i got the technique from the same area as your attitude....or maybe the area next to it...hmmm.

TaoBoa August 30th, 2009 6:57 AM

Woah kiddos. Let's not fight. (:

But back on subject, splash was probably just put on to make it that much more tedious to train a Magikarp. xD

MAizHxC August 30th, 2009 7:11 AM

That is true but i never had much of a problem training magikarp... hmmm

I must say, you've done a great job of trolling this forum without any staff realising but I for one will no longer feed this troll ^^

Dunsparce August 30th, 2009 7:18 AM

What's even more sad is that it was Sunkern and Sunflora's NYPC Event Move.

Meanwhile, Eevee gets Growth, Pikachu gets Petal Dance, ect.

How am i trolling this forum...this is my thread and i have the right to monitor it. i enjoy discussing my posts with my fellow PC members...is that so bad?

And @ Dunsparce:

I also agree that the NYPC moves were terrible.

Lets hope they dont have those usless moves in HG/SS though im sure they will.

What the... The Eevee and Pikachu were examples of some of the better NYPC moves.

Many NYPC Move became GSC Standard, like Lovely Kiss Nidoking/Nidoqueen, Growth Espeon, and Reversal Gyarados.
