I'm just making this post here because there isn't much going on. This is a game. And it is pretty much self-explanatory. I will start.

Poison powder VS Rest.

Now, you just pick which one is better than the other and EXPLAIN WHY! If you did not or if someone did not explain, either tell him/her, or pretend their answer was not there and you should answer the previous one (the one that person did not explain why). There are no right or wrong answers! Once you have already pick your choice and explain why, you should set up one for the another person to take their turn.

My turn. I'll just use the one above. I choose Rest over Poison powder because Rest is more helpful to recover life after getting hit while I was using stat boosting moves and status. Poison powder has a little accuracy problem, and it isn't that helpful in battle.

You can use whatever you like, so you don't have to go with attacks. You can choose over trainers (in TV or game), gym leaders, attack moves, pokemon, etc..

Now since I have to make another one, here it is: Horn Drill VS Fissure.

Horn Drill vs. Fissure... Tough one...

Horn Drill is used by Ryhorn and Rydon (I think the only ones, unless you have Dragonite learn it and trade him over...). And Ryhorn and Rydon are both Rock type pokemon.

Fissure is used by Ground type pokemon, like... I don't know any... But since Ground type pokemon hits rock type pokemon with more damage, cause of weakness, I'd choose Fissure. But since I'm more of an Accuracy fanatic, I'd rather choose neither...

Well the attacks Fissure and Horn Drill both have the same purpose so you can't say that just because ground pokemon uses it or rock pokemon uses that makes much of a difference. Anyway, it is your decision, and as I've said, there aren't any right or wrong answers.

BTW Jeez Man, you forgot to make one for another person.

Ooooooooooh!!!

Okies, Flamethrower vs. Surf

(If you have Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal, imagine if 2 Octillery's were using the attacks...)

This one really depends on what type of Pokemon you're up against. They both (I believe) have the same accuracy, but Surf is better than Flamethrower when used against Fire-type Pokemon, and Flamethrower is better when used against Grass-types. However, Surf is able to be fairly effective against more Pokemon than Flamethrower, so I have to choose Surf.

Here's one: Hyper Beam vs. Confuse Ray

I'm going to say Confuse Ray, because lets say you have a Umbreon. You use Confuse Ray, and he the pokemon gets confused then you can use Hyper Beam.

So I have to go with Confuse Ray.


Fissure vs. Hydro Pump

Okay, you guys are not getting this point. The point is not to compare the attacks being used by other pokemons, but compare them as them. So like I would say Surf is better than Flamethrower because you can damage the enemy or enemies if you have R/S/E/FrLg etc, and you can travel across the water to get to another place. Notice that I said nothing about what pokemon that attack works good against, nor any other strategies involved. I only compare the two attacks with what they do. If it was Fissure vs Hydro Pump, I choose Hydro Pump because it has better accuracy, and I don't like taking chances on moves like Fissure that can't get you out of tough situations when you really need it to hit. There, get the point. Don't relate these attacks to anything, just answer them as a 2 on 2 versus game. You can also say you like that attack/pokemon/whatever because more pokemon can learn it, it has great accuracy, better damage, better side effects, stats, etc.. Like Earthquake. Have Fun!

Porygon 2 VS Blissey. Please do not name out moves.

This is RBY.

Darn! Keep forgetting. Thx Dragon Swordsman for reminding me all the time. Sorry for the inconvenience. I want to put this on the general forum, which you can move it if you like, but I didn't see much action here, so I made this here.

Anyway, here is a new one: Snorlax VS Gengar.

Snorlax.
snorlax is one perticular type. It can hold it's ground against the games strongest type.
gengar is harder to get and is ghost/poison. it couldnt go i=up against a mewtwo or alakazam.

Fireblast vs Blizard?

Statistical power: 107.8125 against 101.71875.
Side effect: Freeze against burn.
Type differences: Ice is stronger offensively against Flying, Ground, Rock, Fire (at least in RBY), and Dragon. Fire wins against Bug and Ice.

I'd call that 3 out of 3 for Blizzard.

How about...Kakuna v. Metapod?

Depends on if you caught them already evolved or if you evolved them from a Caterpie/Weedle. If you caught them evolved neither will be able attack, just harden. If you evolved them yourself, Metapod would be able to tackle, Kakuna could poison sting, and both would know both harden and string shot. I'd say Caterpie, as tackle tends to do more damage than poison sting.

Here's one. Hyper Beam vs Solar Beam.

Two things overlooked there:

1. While both Pokemon will use only Harden if that's all they know, it has a limited supply of PP. Once that's done, they get to Struggle. In this case, with full Hardens up, Struggle will deal 7-9 damage both ways, plus recoil. Kakuna has 10 less HP, so it normally runs out first (though a random advantage of only 2-3 gained through damage adjustments will allow it to go first on the deciding turn and make the kill before it would wipe itself out on recoil, so it's not certain).

2. Tackle normally deals more damage than Poison Sting, but as Metapod is pure Bug against a Bug/Poison that gets STAB, the effective power of Poison Sting increases to about 45 against Tackle's 33.22265625 (the deduction from 35 comes from Tackle's lower accuracy). Plus, Poison Sting (as the name implies) has the power to POISON, which will deplete Metapod's HP in no more than 16 turns no matter what either side does or how many times Metapod has used Harden. Kakuna wins in that case.

As for the current battle, Hyper Beam has a clear tempo advantage. Through each 2-turn cycle, H-Beam starts out by going 150 ahead (actually 134.765625 from effective power) and then Solarbeam cuts the gap by just under 120 on the next turn. Both cycles give your opponent a free hit at some point, but Hyper Beam always stays ahead over a given number of turns up to its PP supply (ideally 16 turns). In link battles (but not Stadium), that edge is more obvious since a Hyper Beam that's used to deliver a finishing blow does NOT result in a recharge. I don't recommend either of these moves for serious use, but Hyper Beam is more justifiable than Solarbeam (as long as you don't throw it on random Pokemon that can't use it properly).

Next up: Aerodactyl v. Chansey

Both at Lv. 100, Aerodactyl has a higher speed, attack, and defense, but Chansey has a higher HP level, and special. However, both Pokemon using physical attacks rather than special ones, Aerodactyl has the advantage.

Tauros vs. Gyrados

Out of those I would choose Gyarados. Although Tauros' movepool is wider then Gyardados' in terms of types, Gyarados can combat it easily because I don't think Tauros has a very good Special stat. Gyarados also has the advantage of being a dual type Pokemon, meaning that some of the moves a Tauros could use effectively on other Pokemon (like Earthquake) won't work on Gyarados.
OK, next vs.
X Attack vs X Defence
