2nd Gen Wrap, The Cheapest Move Ever...

[Aljam]

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

 

[Empty Pot]

Can't say I was a big fan of it in R/B and Stadium. The same story happened with me when fight Lance -.-

 

[Jirachification]

Same here! It was so frustrating! It should be banned. It's cruel haha

 

[Wings Don't Cry]

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
Zapdos is unable to move
Cloyster used Clamp
Zapdos fainted

 

[Aljam]

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.

True Wrap was annoying when facing an opponent.

 

[A lil Fagadorable]

Oh gosh, I actually loved it.
xD
It was like a game of slots, ya never knew when it'd let you go a winner, or a loser.

 

[Giraffles <3]

I was never beaten by "Wrap" just thoroughly annoyed by it :3.

 

[Timbjerr]

I recently did a Poison monotype run through of Red, and my Tenatacruel and Arbok owned everything with Wrap, especially when I toxic'd the opponent at the start of the battle. :P

 

[Sydian]

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.

 

[Nyjil da Kid]

Dragonite knew Wrap??? I guess I got lucky!
I only remember wrap from Onix in...Yellow
I didnt think I'd ever get past him...

 

[Casey333]

I never had to many problems with Wrap. Except when I was facing Brock in Yellow. Stupid Pikachu. >.>

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.

It was annoying I wouldn't be suprised if Smogon banned it for 1st Generation play and it was super broken.

Good thing it was fixed as soon as 2nd Gen came about.

 

[dragon0fangz]

I love wrap. I could easily pwn the E4 with a lv 10 ekans, if it was fast enough. Point is i used arbok lv 50 and pwnt the entire story.

 

[Divine~Deoxys]

Wow...wrap sounds horrid....mebbe a gud job emerald was my 1st game then.hah!!suckers!!
