Does anyone remember wrap from Pokemon R/B? Please share your wrap stories...

I remember in Pokemon Stadium wrap pissed me off a lot when fighting lance.

The battle:

Mewtwo used psychic
Dragonair used thunderwave
Mewtwo is paralyzed
Dragonair used wrap
Mewto is unable to move
Dragonair used wrap
Mewtwo is unable to move
Dragonair used wrap
*repeats
Mewtwo fainted
*SWEEPS EXTERNALLY*

That's not that bad, Clamp was way worse. Warp had a power of 15 and Clamp had a power 35 plus it was water.

Cloyster used Clamp
Zapdos is unable to move

Wow! I never gotten clamped before. I'm just glad they changed those moves. Though they're kind of pointless now. Bind was another one of those moves.

I'm keeping Wrap on my Victreebel in Blue. It's amazing and makes me lol. I've only been annoyed by it in older games-- never lost to it.

In the first generation, wrap was something that you never appriciated until it was abused against you. For example, in Pokemon Stadium 1, back in the old days, I was forced to use rentels, and to make matters worse, I had NO clue which ones to pick.

Needless to say, I ended up taking a Kabutops and a group of other wimps (Raichu, Dugtrio, Diglett, Lapris, and Victrybell) into the match against Erica, and used Kabutops, Digglet, and Raichu... and she led with Tangela:

Digglet! Go!
Tangela! Go!

Tangela used Constrict!
Digglet's speed down.
Digglet used Earthquake!
It's not very effective...

Tangela used Wrap!
blah, blah, blah...
Digglet fainted!

Raichu! Go!

Me: Let's switch in Kabutops! Wrap won't do much to him!

Tangela used Mega Drain!
Kabutops fainted!

EVERYONE lost to a Tangela.

I didn't really know what wrap did, cause I don't have G/S/C But I don't see how Wrap is a killer move? I thought it only did 15 damage O.o But clamp sure is a pain X_x
In red, blue, and yellow, if someone used wrap on you, you couldnt attack until you were freed from wrap. Basicly if the enemy was faster and knew wrap, it could kill you without taking a hit. Same goes for bind and clamp.

Wow...wrap sounds horrid....mebbe a gud job emerald was my 1st game then.hah!!suckers!!
There was a few extremely similar moves already mentioned, wrap, bind, clamp..

I don't see how were suckers if we started earlier and eventually figured out how to defeat that product of the devil, those moves. It was extremely frustrating.

You're a noob for not using an Ice move or SWITCHING. Why would you let it just sit there and die? That's your own fault. And if this was on Pokemon Stadium, Lance has a Dragonair on ROUND ONE. You're terrible.

Can't say I was a big fan of it in R/B and Stadium.
Why? Wrapping moves are nerfed on Stadium. Switching makes them lose a turn, while on RBY or Netbattle, the Pokemon being Wrapped loses a turn.

It should be banned.
It often is.

That's not that bad, Clamp was way worse. Warp had a power of 15 and Clamp had a power 35 plus it was water.

Cloyster used Clamp
Zapdos is unable to move
Cloyster used Clamp

Now this is brilliant. First off, Clamp has an accuracy of 75% while Wrap has an accuracy of 85%. Although that's only a 10% difference, it's huge after using it turn after turn. STAB Clamp isn't that great either since Cloyster's Special was only subpar, but still strong. Also, lol, what kind of noob Zapdos is slower than a Cloyster?

Tenatacruel and Arbok owned everything with Wrap
In-game doesn't count for much.

I only remember wrap from Onix in...Yellow
Actually Bind, but basically the same thing.

I never had to many problems with Wrap. Except when I was facing Brock in Yellow. Stupid Pikachu. >.>
Again, with Bind. And why are you using Pikachu against Brock. Are you sure Pikachu is stupid. ARE YOU SURE???

Me: Let's switch in Kabutops! Wrap won't do much to him!
Because Pokemon only have one move right? Why would you switch something out against Tangela that has a 6x weakness (counting STAB)? Not to mention, what would Kabutops do back?

In red, blue, and yellow, if someone used wrap on you, you couldnt attack until you were freed from wrap. Basicly if the enemy was faster and knew wrap, it could kill you without taking a hit. Same goes for bind and clamp.
