Dark Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yayz! It is... PokePollz Time!!! The question for today is, are HM's under-powered or over-powered? Before I go into more detial, here is a list of the HM's: HM 001- Cut (PP 30)PhysicalPower- 50Accuracy- 95 HM 002- Fly (PP 15)PhysicalPower- 90Accuracy- 95 HM 003- Surf (PP 15)PhysicalPower- 95Accuracy- 100 HM 004- Strength (PP 15)PhysicalPower- 80Accuracy- 100 HM 005- Defog (PP 15)NeutralPower- ???Accuracy- ??? HM 006- Rock Smash (PP 15)Physical Power- 40Accuracy- 100 HM 007- Waterfall (PP 15)PhysicalPower- 80Accuracy- 100 HM 008- Rock Climb (PP 20)PhysicalPower- 90Accuracy- 95 OK, so I checked my WATER Pokemon Box. It turns out that most of my Pokemon have Surf. Flamethrower, Thunderbolt and Ice Beam have the same base power and accuracy. Flamethrower and Thunderbolt have the same PP. The only thing Surf does not have is a status ailment. Fly. It skips one turn and does damage on the next. Most of my flying Pokemon have this one, too. It is one of the only good Flying attacks. It has 90 Base Power. It does not take DMG on the first turn. Rock Climb. It has 5 more PP than Flamethrower, but 5 less Base Power. The accuracy is a little low, too. But it confuses. The rest of the HM's, look for yourself. What I am asking is, how many of these HM's are overpowered. Please state which are/are not and explain.

CrabHelmet Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I thought Surf was Swift-Accurate rather than being a regular Accuracy 100 move? Not completely sure about this one, though. Also, I thought HM05 was Flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yes it's Flash...but I think all the attacks are ok, good for water pokemon i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabHelmet Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Oops, I forgot that they changed the HM's. Does anyone know whether Surf is Swift-Accurate or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zexaeon Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Surf is not Swift-accurate. ^^ It's just 100% Also, Surf is not Physical, it is Special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Surf and Fly are the staple HM moves. The others are only useful outside of battle. I just keep low level Pokemon with those to get where I need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Fly and Surf are very useful. Use them the most, and its hurts when you don't have Fly. Flash got demoted from HM to TM in place of DeFog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
