Suicide Moves?

[Zeffy]

So "suicide move" is a bit too brutal term imo xD

I agree. It isn't suicide per se, the Pokémon merely faints, not dies. I've never found use for the moves in-game though since I usually opt for more powerful moves that does not cost the HP of the user.

Yeah, in the manga it's kinda suggested in FRLG arc that Forretress using Explosion die...but in the games its not suicide, just self-KOing. I use Explosion on my Metagross in the Battle Frontier - if I'm against something I could KO with either Explosion or Meteor Mash, and I'm faster than it but it can KO me, I explode. Likewise, if a mutual 2HKO is a possibility from other moves, and I'm outpaced, I explode.

Nope, never used any of those moves in any game. I didn't need to.

Yeah, I've never wanted to use them in the games, I just laugh at the NPC opponents who use it at the stupidest of times >.< Never wanted to use it in a RP either, because it would be pretty devastating there.
