Demonic Spiders/Video Games/Role-Playing Game/Pokémon: Difference between revisions

** It also doesn't help that the Wrap attack that annoyed you in Gen I (see below) had been downplayed in exchange for also preventing Pokémon from escaping thus giving Tentacool and Tentacruel equal potential for annoyance.

** Also, you can cure confusion by spending a turn to switch out your active Pokémon. Wrap prevents you from switching out your active Pokémon. Cue the rage.

* Hypno from Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green definitely counts. You'll first encounter one in the 5th Gym who is at level 38, which is very likely higher than everything you have on your team if you fight Koga before Sabrina. Killing this thing is a nightmare with a decent 85 base HP, 73 base defense, and a whopping 115 special defense. Not to mention it's one of the few Pokemon that [[Game Breaker|Alakazam]] actually CAN'T do significant damage to. You can skip this particular trainer, but if you're playing this for the first time or like to fight every trainer you have to ride out the storm.

* In the Gen I, any Pokémon with Wrap, Fire Spin, or Bind that had a higher Speed stat than your Pokémon qualified as one of these. It would Wrap you once, then continue to Wrap you every turn (during which time you were COMPLETELY incapable of moving) thereafter until the effect wore off. Then it would Wrap you again before you could counterattack, unless you used Quick Attack.

** Although if you want to cheat right back you could catch one with Hustle and teach it Hone Claws (+ attack and ''accuracy'') by TM... or search for the rare ones that don't have Hustle. Too bad that you can only find the Hone Claws TM post-Elite Four; in other words, when there is no necessity to solely use Unova Pokemon.
