... And my awful knowledge strikes again, what's paraflinch? :<

When a pokémon with Serene Grace keeps using flinching moves on a paralyzed pokémon, serene grace doubling the 30% flinch chance to 60% and paralysis having 25% chance of being fully paralyzed that only gives the targeted pokémon only 30% chance to be able to attack each turn.

[Jam Scone]

Oh, heh, I've never heard of that technique before. Sounds like it'd be an interesting thing to see on the anime! xD

But if they used it on Pikachu then they would get paralyzed by static.

That's why you shouldn't ever fight electric types.

[H-con]

Well, Headbutt would probably end up with that, but not Air Slash.

Eh, what am I talking about, it's the anime, everything goes.

[Shiny Celebi]

Has Pikachu ever actually used Static in the anime?

So would bite, waterfall and iron head.

Togekiss or Dunsparce would be the most likely users of this, and neither air slash or rock slide makes contact, meaning static won't paralyze.

[H-con]

Yeah, Iron Head Jirachi works. Bite has too low flinch rate to be effective, besides, does any flinch-haxers even learn it?

But yeah, Rock Slide could do as well. But that would just be Dunsparce?

[TheMissingno.]

I was thinking about rachi, but I guess you probably wouldn't see one in the anime.

[Mijzelffan]

Yeah, same for Shaymin-S. They probably wouldn't attack pikachu as they're supposed to be nice legendaries.

[TheMissingno.]

And random trainers also probably wouldn't have them, but then again a random trainer had an Articuno once so who knows.

[Jam Scone]

Wait, what did I miss, there was a random trainer with an Articuno once?!

[Mijzelffan]

No that was Noland, the battle factory head.
