  1. Name / Max Attack
    Sudowoodo....328

    Sudowoodo can be bred Selfdestruct but that moves' base power is 200 instead of 250. While Selfdestruct still stings, if you want to kill every motherf*cker in the room, except no substitutes.

    (except Substitues, Detects, Protects, and of course, Ghosts)

  2. I think that your top ten exploders list is a little misleading as it doesn't include Lickilicky. It can learn it via TM and while it's max attack is only 295, it's Explosion will have STAB.

  4. After using my Explosion TM wastefully in Emerald, I don't enjoy using one time only TMs. If you don't suffer from my affliction please "do go .... you'll have fun".

  5. Hehe, I never said this was a Top 10 list of Exploders I want to breed.

    And besides, at the very least, Sudowoodo basically has it as an egg move, since Bonsly can learn the TM.

  6. You think I'm not anticipation a kamikaze Lickilicky. I'm just hoping he won't be fast enough to get it off.

  7. While on the topic, if anyone has invested a decent amount of time in the game corner, I suggest talking to the attendant.

    Apparently When I was saving up enough coins for U-Turn I managed to "have an explosion of good luck" (defined by 10 bonus rounds in a row) and had the TM waiting for me. I guess they don't tell you in game when you've done well enough, you just have to keep checking at the counter, or know what triggers it.

    Seeing as it costs no coins/money and you can get it while working towards another prize, Explosion doesn't seem like such an out of reach TM after all.

  8. Certainly out of reach for me...I've never liked the casino games in Pokemon titles. Slots always seem like such a pain in the arse. I purchased my first TM from the casino by buying all of my tokens.

  9. I used to do that, but they're way too expensive in D/P. Getting to bonus mode is kind of random, but once you're there, its not a matter of luck any more. Its just a (somewhat tedious) matter of following Clefairy's lead.
