Hey guys, the last two weeks have been pretty hardcore and long for MOTW so I'm giving you guys a sweet video break from the most epically long articles ever posted on the site, lol. Go back and read Baton Pass and Trick Room, and enjoy this sweet video I found of all of the signigture moves of all Pokemon so far. Take a look!

What if you like slow Pokemon? I love slow Pokemon. Slowking has been one of my favorites for a while. Snorlax, Lunatone and Solrock, Porygon 2, Bronzong. All fairly slow Pokemon, and that really leads to their greatest weakness, speed. Well, what if you could turn the tides with your slow team? Trick room lets you do exactly that.
This is a move that I’ve been wanting to do for Move of the Week for quite some time now but almost seemed to daunting to take on. I stumbled upon a great article written by Smogon University about it however and read through it about 3 or 4 times. I’m going to try and take their book of a guide on Baton Passing, and shorten it to a bite sized article here for you guys all to read. Without further to do... Baton Pass...
Battling against nearly 25 or 30 people this last weekend for gym leader tryouts made me see a lot of what people are doing now-a-days to try and get an edge up in flat battles. I saw Stealth Rock combinations, the use of Toxic, burning moves, Trick Room, but one that really caught my eye, and worked particularly well against me with my heavy hitting team was Foul Play. It’s not to difficult of a move to understand, but lets go over it, shall we? 
So I’ve kind of touched on stacking stats before. I believe that when we looked at our first triple battle set with Darmanitan, Seismatoad, and Amoonguss, we managed to get Darmanitan’s Fire Punch, a normally 75 base powered move, to 195. Not too shabby at all. But what if we were to take this stat maxing, well, to the max? The most powerful move that I’ve come across that can be boosted is Overheat, and I’ll tell you why...
Your opponent having a resistance against your current offense in a battle can ruin a strategy you have in place. You send out a Octillary first and your opponent sends out a grass type. s#&*... What if you could remove that advantage of typing? An underutilized strategy until now, here’s Soak.
Having a super powerful team is great, but when you don’t have any defense built into it you’re only going to be able to pull of a couple moves per battle on your opponent. At that point you’re relying on OHKO’s and pure power to take care of your opponent every time, nearly without fail. We’re going to look at a way to keep yourself alive more than anything else today. Feel better! Heal Pulse, Go!
Poison types. Most likely one of the most underrated types in the entire game. We’re going to take a look at one of the most powerful poison type moves in the entire game now that black and white are out. Try not to faint on contact, here comes Venoshock.
Scald
Ow! OWW!!! THAT BURNS!!!
Scald. Move of the Week. Let’s do it.
Move of the Week time! Today we’re talking about a move that I’ve found particularly useful when going through Black and White my self. It’s a move that one of my favorite Pokemon, Zebstrika, can learn by leveling up. The move I’m talking about here is Wild Charge.
WIld Charge was introduced in Gen V to a slew of Pokemon that can learn it by leveling up, and also to a ton of others by TM 93.
