The return of the POTD Section brings with it a an awesomely awesome Pokemon. Misdreavus was arguably the GREATEST Ghost Pokemon in the Metal Era of Pokemon. She was also the ONLY Ghost Pokemon to arrive in the Metal Era, but details like that are frivolous anyway. Let's fire this analysis up, shall we?  #200 - Misdreavus Type - Ghost Screech Pokemon Height - 2'04" Weight - 2.2 lbs. Traits: Levitate: Ignores Ground-Type moves and Spikes. Evolution Chain: Evolves to Mismagius with a Dark Stone Appearances: Gold, Silver, Crystal, Colosseum, LeafGreen, Pearl I've noticed that Misdreavus gets moved around quite a bit in terms of appearance. In the Metal Era, she can be found inside the Silver Cave, but only at night. In Colosseum, she must be snagged from Rider Vant in Pyrite Town. In LeafGreen, she hides in the Lost Cave. Pearl places her in two different locations: The Eterna Forest and the Lost Tower, both at night. Moveset: Trait: Levitate Item: King's Rock Stats: HP: 324 Attack: 219 Defense: 219 Special Attack: 269 Special Defense: 269 Speed: 269 Confuse Ray Shadow Ball Will-o-wisp Perish Song I love quite a few Pokemon from the Metal Era, and Misdreavus ranks pretty high on that list. Also, she was the first Ghost Pokemon to not be weak against the mortal enemies of her bretheren: The Psychic Types. Now, that's just Grand. Confuse Ray: Greatest Move Ever. As we all know by now, Confuse is the one status that no item can immediately cure, save the one use berries. The status buys time for you, can cause damage to the opponent, and possibly even force your opponent to switch out, giving you a greater advantage. Shadow Ball is our generic STAB'd "Immahityounowkay?" move. Thankfully, Misdreavus learns this naturally: I wouldn't waste my TM30 on a non-evolved Pokemon. Hell, I wouldn't use it on Mismagius, either: This line leans toward a support role. However, it doesn't hurt to have some kind of damaging ability. Will-o-wisp is our second support move. This move is the first and only move to cause a direct, 100% chance burn upon your opponent. Burning your opponent can lower their attack along with the generic damage dealing you'd expect from burns. Now, if we could just get a move like this for the Freeze status or something... We all remember Misdreavus for one main thing: The Perish Song attack. This was Misdreavus' shining beacon of hope in the Pokemon games. Once the move is used, both you and your enemy faint in three turns. Granted, your opponent could switch out, but this could just put you in a better position. It's like gambling, but funner and virtual. The King's Rock is there because I have nothing else. No Joke. Seriously, you have no idea how long I was trying to think of another item for Misdreavus. It took about ten minutes to come up with the idea of the King's Rock. Besides, i'll have something for Mismagius. There's always quite a bit you can do with support Pokemon in the alternate moves department. Thunder Wave, for example, is fun for the really obnoxious confusion and paralysis status effect. You can also go with Mean Look to augment Perish Song, Pain Split, Memento...I'm sure you can even think an idea up. --------------------------------------------------------- And that's Misdreavus. Join me tomorrow, everyone! |
