    I was playing FR and i found a Dugtrio then it used Fury Swipes.
    How could something with three heads possibly use this attack.
    Does any one have an explanation for this?
     
    Probably in the same way a pokemon can use hyper beam...it probably uses some sort of energy slash or something. idk.
     
    Its toes that we will never see, or it has a dry lumpy nose or something.
     
    maybe it combines the 3 heads to form a claw, or it has invisible hands. (Take goomba in mario super sluggers, it can hold a bat yet no hands), ahh nintendo creates such things for us to ponder XD♪♪
     
    1. Teeth
    2. Their noses
    3. The invisible feet Diglett mentions in PMD.
     
    Maybe they just use their heads to swipe or form a hand made of earth and swipe or just nintendo wants us to think until our brains become mush.
     
    You do realise that Dugtrio is a mole Pokemon? So where the dirt meets Dugtrio, it doesn't mean that is the end of his body. His body continues underground where he no doubt has arms and legs.
    He comes up and scratches them.
    You just don't see any of it because we are restricted to seeing one sprite of a Pokemon.

    It also learns arial ace but it can't fly.

    A lot of pokemon that learn arial ace can't fly?

    Aerial Ace is a misnomer. There are probably more non-flying type Pokemon that can learn it than flying types! xD

    Anyway, it just strikes really fast.
     
    Well Aerial means like Air born or something of the like, so they could jump and attack...
    xP
     
    It's not really supposed to make sense, but I guess it could use it's teeth/whatever.

    Well the thing is, you don't really see any teeth on dugtrio do you?

    Not me...I didnt even know that, it does seem awkward...has no hands O_O
     
    There is no proof Dugtrio has no hands. It is a mole, half its body is concealed underground. I stated in my post, because we are limited to one sprite per Pokemon, we can never see the rest of Dugtrio. But being a mole Pokemon, I assume it has a body.
     
    You guys have brought up some good reasons but for everyone who says it uses its teeth your wrong beasue the description of fury swipes is "rakes the foe with sharp claws"

    On the other hand i have read that a dugtrio can't learn fury swipes in ruby, sapphire or emerald.
     
    Hmmm...I always thought that it used the earth to form hands out of the ground and dirt to swipe the foe...but that's just me using my wild imagination...lol
     
    Im pretty sure it has a body, let alone arms and legs, I doubt its in the pokeball just being a head and some dirt as we always see.
