Flare Blitz

Fairly decent. Nothing to write home about, but not horrible either. Which, of course, means that unless it's replacing Flamethrower for a decent basic Fire attack, on something using a Shell Bell, I'm probably never going to want this move.

Ah, well.

7/10

This is pretty much the fire-type version of Wood Hammer, right?

Looks pretty good. The one thing to look at is the recoil damage: I've seen it do a lot to Torterra when it used WT(Assuming FB=WT)and fully K.Oed a Pokemon.

So...8/10.

Dio Brando · 08-22-2007, 02:46 PM

^ I thought Wood Hammer lowered Speed?

Anyway, this move is pretty good, especially when combined with a Shell Bell

8.5/10

^I'm pretty sure Wood Hammer does only recoil damage.

I believe that you're thinking about Hammer Arm SK.

^ Oh, yeah, that's the one.
