Thirdbird Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 So I've been trying to breed a houndour with dark pulse. The father is Auriol (has Dark Pulse) and the mother is a female houndour, but Dark Pulse isn't being passed down. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteyMcFly Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Houndour cannot learn Dark Pulse by breeding; Dark Pulse is not an egg move for Houndour. Ergo, houndour cannot be bred to have Dark Pulse unless both the mother and father know the move already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirdbird Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 So Houndoom is pretty much useless in this game :I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteyMcFly Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I object highly to that statement. It's on my main team, and I have to say that Foul Play packs quite the punch in and of itself. Besides, its Attack is only somewhat worse than its Special Attack (90 vs 110). The inability to learn Dark Pulse by breeding does not make it a worthless Pokemon.

Thirdbird Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Houndour is one of my top favorites (my favorite gen 2), and it sucks for it to not have D Pulse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Ikaru Posted August 18, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 18, 2013 If Dark Pulse is a TM it should be able to be passed down- was its TM status changed recently? If so, then no, you can't get it like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woobowiz Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 What sucked about Gen 5 was that the only way you could get Dark Pulse on Hydreigon, you had to transfer in something like an Ekans that was taught Dark Pulse from the TM in like HGSS. It's a real bummer Sp.Atk Dark pokemon are just as hard to get the right moves in this game too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khayoz Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 What's even worse was getting Dark Pulse AND Earth Power on Hydreigon. It was impossible until BW2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
