To be honest, Jolteon -did- get the Electric U-turn.Damn I was hoping Jolteon got this move. Electrode is fast but is also a little weak. Jolteon would be the perfect candidate for this move.
I don't think what you said makes any sense...It doesn't even matter if Jolteon gets it. If it follows Gyro Ball's formula (reversed) it's going to crap to anything with decent speed.
So, assuming Jolteon's 394 Speed (Timid, 252 EVs - also, I know Jolteon doesn't get this move, it's just an example), it would need to be facing a pokémon with 98.5 or lower Speed in order to do maximum damage. The only non-Trick Room pokémon who have speed this low in Gen IV's OU Speed Tier would be Slowbro, Snorlax and Steelix.A) 150 base power, if target´s speed is lower or equal to 1/4 (25%) of user´s speed
B) 120 base power, if target´s speed is greater than 1/4 (25%) of user´s speed and lower or equal to 1/3 (33%) of user´s speed
C) 80 base power, if target´s speed is greater than 1/3 (33%) of user´s speed and lower or equal to 1/2 (50%) of user´s speed
D) 60 base power, if target´s speed is greater than 1/2 (50%) of user´s speed
That depends on the target. :)Whose Electra Ball is stronger? Denchura's or Electrode's? (the former has more Special Attack; the latter has more Speed) I'm no good at damage calculations for this.
What if the opponent switches in a Ground type or any other pokemon with volt absorb/motordrive/lightningrod etc.. All that build up would have been wasted. Possible, but really unreliable IMO. You'd have to get rid of all those pokemon and even then a profit wont be guaranteed.1. Volbeat
2. Tail Glow BP
3. Scarf Electrode
4. Electra Ball
5. ????
6. 6-0! Profit!
I have no idea whether this would work but I'd love to try.
I love when people use LO on their sweepers. It has saved me from being swept too many times to count by having them faint themselves, regardless of whether I just switch around on resistances or sacrifice pokes and/or status them.Butterfly Dance Venemoth Baton Pass to Life Orb Electrode...
