[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

Thunder, Gust, and Twister can hit airborne pokemon in the middle of Fly, Bounce, and Sky Drop, with Twister and Gust doing double damage. Sky Uppercut can hit airborne pokemon too, but lacks double damage, much like Thunder. Whirlwind will also still hit them!

There's also Dive. Surf and Whirlpool can hit pokemon currently underwater and do double damage as well.

And finally, Dig. You already got Earthquake and Magnitude with their double damage, but did you know Fissure can still hit underground pokemon as well? (Earthquake and Magnitude will hit guaranteed, but Fissure can still miss)

And on a related note: Mind Reader, Lock-On, and No Guard all cause your moves to hit regardless of the invulnerability stages caused by some moves. No damage bonuses, but your opponent can't dodge your attacks at all without Protect and Detect! Of course, they can also do the same to you if No Guard is your perfect accuracy method of choice...

And as a bonus: Swift would NEVER miss in gen 1. Even if the opponent used Fly or Dig. And protect didn't exist back then. If you used Swift, you hit your opponent guaranteed. And it was a TM back then, too!

And as a second bonus: Smeargle, Articuno, and gen 1 Poliwrath are absolutely terrifying creatures when they use Mind Reader. Smeargle has access to all 4 OHKO moves and Mind Reader/Lock On in tandem with all sorts of other support moves, Articuno has Mind Reader and Sheer Cold (only Sturdy will save you from that, or an Ice typing in gen 7), and Poliwrath could learn Fissure via TM in gen 1 and Mind Reader upon being traded to gen 2 or 7. There's also gen 1 Machamp, who can also use Fissure, but our No Guard + Fissure dreams were crushed when we found out all pokemon transferred from gen 1 to 7 through Bank have their HAs guaranteed...
