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

[Dragonstrike]

Inferno is technically the second deadliest move in the game, if we consider FIre Blast. On Togekiss, it would do massive amounts of damage, and have an all but garentee of Burning the foe (5 Chance dice gives me a roughly ~50 % chance of getting it), and its more accurate to boot! Problem is getting the TM for it, but it's still a powerful move to consider!

I personally think Inferno is deadlier because it's a 100% chance for Burn 3 vs a 42% (60% with Serene Grace.  yes, I calced those chances) for Burn 3.  Same with Flare Blitz.  Disregarding the horrid accuracy difference, that reliable burn chance will consistently push Inferno over Fire Blast in terms of raw KO potential.  Particularly since it's not reliant on an ability to maximize the odds of that KO potential.

Wait, I think we are both forgetting the king move of Lethality: Explosion. STR + 10 Damage will kill almost anything on a good roll, and destroy the HP of the few Pokemon that could survive a max power KA-BOOM! That move is scary mate!

You're right, that's ridiculous.

Not spammable though, so...*shrug*

But yup, very, VERY dangerous...yeesh...

However, that requires a good roll.  Inferno has a little more security in that since it has a consistent Burn 3 that does a set amount of damage every turn.
