In Pokémon, there are lots of different moves used by different Pokémon. Every week, we shall focus the discussion on a different move, and there will be some base questions that would help you start this off. This week, Acrobatics is chosen.
Generation 5 graced us with a move with an interesting catch. If Acrobatics were to be used normally, it will have a rather low power. However, if the user isn't holding any item, this move will do double damage. As the name implies, it is a move that is acted in a nimble manner. The main users are fliers, which is to be expected for a Flying-type move. Still, there are some nimble users as well, especially the monkeys.
Here's the in-game description of this move:
In-game Description (BW) said:Type: Flying (Physical)
Base Power: 55
Accuracy: 100%
PP: 15
The user nimbly strikes the target. If the user is not holding an item, this attack inflicts massive damage.
Here are the usual possible questions about this move:
- How does certain Pokémon who knows this move use it? What kind of purpose would this move have for them (in the Pokémon World)?
- How could this move be used to aid a profession in the Pokémon World?
- Could this move realistically be used by any Pokémon who doesn't learn it normally? If yes, please explain your choices.
- How would this move be used in battling, realistically or video game-wise?
Other questions (You could ask other critical questions beyond the listed):
- What kind of acrobatics are involved with this move? Are each of the Pokémon with this move capable of different feats of acrobatics?
- There is no discrimination in regards to the item held, so this move wouldn't reach its full potential even if the user is holding a light item, such as a berry. Why is that?
- A proven strategy is to have the user hold the Flying Gem, because that way, the first use of Acrobatics will reach its full potential in addition to getting a power boost from the gem. Would this strategy be as applicable in the real Pokémon World?
