What's the point of Explosion's/Selfdestuct's PP?

Sep. 27, 2013



If Explosion/Selfdestruct is going to make you faint, why have more than 1 PP? And it’s probably going to be stupid by reviving yourself then making yourself faint. Again.

If your explosion/selfdestuct user has 1 hp left, it would be great to commit suicide and bring back again. For example,

foe vs. eletrode

electrode used sonicboomfoe used earthquakeelectrode hung on due to focus sash.electrode used explosionKo s both Pokemon

bring it back again w/ revive. repeat.since electrode will hold on to focus stash, it would be extremely helpful. DO NOT USE EXPLOSION ON 1st TURN!!!

There are several reasons. Firstly every move needs to have the numberical values so they can work properly. Secondly, in-game you can use Revives on the fainted Pokemon, and then use Selfdestruct/Explosion again, so their PP can come into play. Of course you can’t use items competitively, so this only works in-game.
