Mistys Gyarados

nah...it was flame thrower....

I question weather it is the game or the show that is invalid towards the latter. :/
 
Wondergaurd Shedinja...it could only be hurt by super effective moves.

although I do question why Gyarados didn't use splash...that would've pwned ;P

either way.....the show hacks IMO

Pikachu must have Volt Tackle bred on it.
Ash's Pikachu learned Volt Tackle 8 years in the show.

Gyarados can't use Flamethrower
in the Togetic episode, tadaa......haxor.
 
Flamethrower is a tutor move in Crystal, and also a TM move in Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen, Diamond, and Pearl. It's not that weird of a thing. O_o

Pikachu learning Volt Tackle is a bigger mystery. xD
 
I've always thought it was because gyarados is classified as a dragon pokemon, since dragon-types can use the 'basic' elemental moves--ice, water, fire, lightning (and in altaria's case at least, Solarbeam). Granted, by RSE they seem to have fazed that out a bit so the only dragon-types who can use all four of those elements is the dratini line, but for me at least the connotation stuck.

True, gyarados isn't a dragon-type pokemon, but like several other non dragon-type pokemon (such as aerodactyl and charizard) it has dragon-like characteristics, so it appears to be classified as a dragon nonetheless--at least for the purposes of those who train dragon pokemon. Look at Lance. Half his pokemon are dragons in terms of looks and characteristics, but not by type--which makes sense when you consider that (at that point in time) there weren't that many true dragon-type pokemon around.

If you look at aerodactyl's movepool, it can learn Flamethrower too, even though its primary type (rock/flying) is opposite to fire.

...then there's kingdra, which is a dragon-type, but can't learn either Flamethrower or Thunderbolt. <_<
 
But then with the movepool argument, you're bringing in and merging the boundaries between the anime and the game. Which doesn't always correspond appropriately with each other as it's been said before "How can this happen? It doesn't have that in its movepool etc etc"

Or that it learnt it naturally. Seeing as sometimes Pokemon are capable of discovering their own moves or mimic the move off someone else (like Swellow learning Aerial Ace).
 
Why can't Gyrados use flame thrower? If Starme and Zigzagoose can be taught to use electric moves, its possible for Gyrados to be taught a move out of its type.

Because in game, Starmie and Zigzagoon can learn electric moves. But in either instance, the point is invalid because anime and game don't connect. >_>
 
What when did Misty's Gyrados use Flamethrower?

One if the Togepi Hoenn episodes, I believe.

It was in the Togepi Mirage episodes, I believe it was the Advanced Battle season in the dub.
Misty's Togepi evolved in the same episode, I believe.

Anyhoo, she called out, and had it use Flamethrower.

>>; I wouldn't know this, but I saw the episode not too long ago, myself.

I always just assumed that it could learn Flamethrower because, even though it's a Water Pokemon,
it's also a Dragon type. & Dragon type Pokemon can learn fire attacks. So I didn't think it was
anything super-speacial-awesome when I saw it..
 
It seems weird but then again Onix can leanr Dragonbreath, Ariados can learn sucker punch even though it has no fists & Rapidash can learn Bounce

It was at the start of the Pokemon Advanced Challenge Series. "A Togepi Mirage"

Thats when Togepi evolved

Was it Challange?

Bah, I get them mixed up.. >>;

Still, yeah, it was that episode.

I'm sticking with my 'It's half dragon, thus it can use fire attacks' theory.
Still, I thought that was pretty common knowledge,though... Or at least known.
I mean, it can learn Dragon Rage, as well.. & isn't that a fire move?

I think it was represented as one once, in the one of the games.

Then again, I could be totally wrong.
Nobody listen to Drew when she's tired... xx;
 
^ That post right thar, seems like a good place to close this at. xD;
We've reached the final conclusion.

It's just that awesome.

Didn't it use Flamethrower against the mirage pokemon in the special episode too?
