CrashGordon94 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Right, I'm playing Ruby and I have a Level 35 Combusken with Double Kick, Cut, Quick Attack and Ember. I still have the Overheat TM from Flannery lying around, I'm considering using it. The only thing is that I considered replacing Ember with it but while I don't care much about the SP ATK cut (honestly, it sounds like it'd still be a hella potent move after that), only having 5 PP sounds like it'd be really bad. I also considered replacing Quick Attack, but that can be handy to avoid counter attacks from nearly-KO'd Pokeymans. Any advice...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnor97 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) If you want a better fire type move than Ember, just wait one more level to evolve it. Blaziken learns Blaze Kick right away once it has evolved, like how Combusken got Double Kick right away.

MacLovin Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Overheat can be used 2 times in a row before it looses alot of power. Firse time it's like Fire BLast, second time, it's like FLamethrower. Blaze Kick is better IMO, it's free and has more PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Okay then, thanks guys! Saved me a lot of hassle there... What should I do with the TM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnor97 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Keep it in the pocket and never use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Well, I might as well sell it then. But will do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Give it to a mon that can learn it and use it. With an alright so attack stat though. Like Exploud, Slaking, Flygon, Aggron, Gyrados, or Altaria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Wait, Gyarados can use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 No. And overheat runs of special attack anyway so Gyarados would be a poor choice Out of the guys harpoon listed only Exploud can learn it anyay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Your Combusken is evolving next level and learning Blaze Kick anyway, so I say leave the Overheat TM alone. It probably would have been of some use if you had immediately started using it. The real question is how come your Combusken doesn't know Bulk Up yet.

Espinosa Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 It's not an entirely 'wrong' choice (few choices you can make in-game actually can be called that), but you'll have to adjust your playing accordingly since it has 5 less PP and will grow weak after 2 uses. It does also have benefits, like when you need that extra power to take out a particularly nasty threat. I have to say I'd still buy a Flamethrower TM instead of both though (more accurate and powerful, 15 PP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melonhead Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Go Blaze Kick. In my Emerald, Blaze kick was pretty much one of the best moves I had for a long time. As for overheat, keep it for something else, or sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Gyrados's sp attack is pretty shitty, so Overheat might be a decent option anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Hmmm, Flamethrower looks better, but I'll use Blaze Kick until I can get that. Gyrados's sp attack is pretty shitty, so Overheat might be a decent option anyways. But Raven just said it couldn't learn it... *looks it up on Bulbapedia* Bulbapedia says it can't.

But yeah, a good moveset for Gyarados would be Earthquake, Ice Fang, Aqua Tail/Waterfall, and Dragon Dance. If you've got one, that is.

I think this is gen3 raven, ice fang and aquatail don't exist and waterfall is special as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
