Have you ever been stabbed with a gas pump?Have you ever tried to stab someone with a cardboard tube?
Because I have.
I'm still not out of the hospital.

No, Dhelmise is the algae that are attached to the anchor.Dhelmise can learn Surf. It's an anchor.
A really bad anchor, apparently.
So they must be using the anchor as a surfing board of sorts.
I agree it doesn't make sense... but at the same time I want HMs back just so I can surf on an anchor.So they must be using the anchor as a surfing board of sorts.
Doesn't get Nasty Plot either which you would also think is a give-in. At least it has Work Up...Why does Greninja not learn Swords Dance.
To be fair, Nincada and Ninjask learn all of these moves too (Final Gambit is specifically an Egg Move), so it's more like GF couldn't be asked to remove those moves from its movepool. They're probably thinking If you want to run a Shedinja with one of these moves than go right ahead, you ain't gonna get very far and they've provided more than enough alternatives that this is something you put on yourself.shedinja.
the only mon with base 1 hp.
the only mon that is a ghost and bug type.
the only mon that ohkos itself from max hp with double edge,
it also gets highly useful moves in sandstorm and final gambit as well as very useful utility in rest and substitute.
we all thought there at least needed to be some logic and common sense involved...
but then again, this is gamefreak.
According to my Google search the move is called "Life Risk" in Japanese, which sounds like the perfect move for a Shedinja.I think Nincada got Final Gambit just for the hilarity of Shedinja using it. It's not like it's a key move in Ninjask's movepool, after all.
I'm more curious at Greninja not being able to learn Guillotine, being a ninja and Guillotine being a slashing move.Coming back to this thread to ask a pivotal question:
Why does Greninja not learn Swords Dance.
In most of its appearances outside the game, Greninja is able to use Water Katanas. It's fellow ninja counter parts ( Shedninja and Ninjask) can learn Sword's Dance even though Shedninja has stubs for arms. Heck, Venusaur can learn swords dance but not Greninja, a pokemon shown to be able to use the moves cut and night slash in a sword like manner
Is Passimian based on a spider monkey? If so, that's pretty clever.I'm shocked no one has brought up that Passimian can learn Electroweb.
He looks more lemur than monkey, but it could also be a reference to goal nets, and lemur --> monkey --> spider monkey isn't big of a leap. However, I don't understand why Game Freak didn't just give Passimian access to Sticky Web like they did with Slurpuff, Ribombee, and Araquanid, and instead had him join Mew and the Porygons as the only non Bug or Electric Pokemon to learn Electroweb.Is Passimian based on a spider monkey?

Considering Passimian is inspired by rugby/american football, which lacks goal nets, the 'spider monkey' hypothesis seems more plausible.He looks more lemur than monkey, but it could also be a reference to goal nets, and lemur --> monkey --> spider monkey isn't big of a leap.

While Nasty Plot also would make sense, Swords Dance is much more egregious since Greninja has been shown to use Katanas. In the anime alone, one of Greninja's main attacks, CutDoesn't get Nasty Plot either which you would also think is a give-in. At least it has Work Up...

I guess that could make sense, but Lilligant doesn't get Swords Dance, so I'm not sure that is a reason why Venusaur can get it. Edit: I don't even think Ludicolo gets Swords Dance, which is probably more egregiousPerhaps because it's a dance and most grass pokemon seem to do all sorts of dancing.
Yes, but if they really had intended for it to be a Ninjask move, they would have put it in its level-up movepool, just to prevent Shedinja from learning it. Nincada really doesn't need to have the move either, nor is it particularly justified from a flavour standpoint. But they gave it to Nincada anyway, so it was accessible to Shedinja as well. And I believe the hilarity of Shedinja using that move is what caused them to give it to the entire evolutionary family in the first place.Shedinja being able to get Final Gambit is not really an oddity because it's Nincada who gets it as an egg move. If it doesn't hatch with Final Gambit, Shedinja cannot get it.
This is where it wields a literal flamethrower (and still has two arms left for punchin').(Machamp learns Flamethrower o_o)
