[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Lord Windos]

Spirit, not to be rude myself, but you're pestering Mew while she's trying to focus.

The general takeaway from this as far as move names go should be that while some pokemon do have the capability to destroy the world and/or universe of they put their mind to it, the names of the attacks that we see in the games are sometimes exaggerated.  Particularly the z-moves, which were purposely designed to be over-the-top.  The names of the signature z-moves are probably the closest to describing exactly how powerful they are. (i.e. Continental Crush's name is not meant to be taken literally, nor is Black Hole Eclipse's when used by pokemon other than Gardevoir)

'Correct, Dragonstrike, and thank you. In regards to the Z-Moves, though, any Legendary and Mythical Pokemon can make true of their nameshakes or do them 'justice', especially if they are of the same Type of the Z-Move used or have some form of influence over the phenomena described by the Z-Move. Deoxys and Jirachies can create actual Black Holes with Black Hole Eclipse, but they are weaker than a Garvedour on average, while Darkrai.......I don't know how to adequently describe it, other than 'total absence of light' . Groudon, Regigigas, Regirock, and Zygrade can all violently destroy the very earth with Contiental Crush or Tectonic Rage, while Terrakion and Landerous has their own......esoteric uses of the Z-Moves.'
