Who gets to Learn Steel Wing-Articuno or Zapdos?
Aug. 14, 2013I’m having a hard time deciding who should learn Steel Wing. Articuno has a higher attack stat, yet Zapdos would have complete coverage. Who should learn the move and why?

Neither should get Steel Wing. It is 70 bp and 90% accuracy. Sure it gives a Defense boost, but that is a 10% chance. Don’t bother.
Zapdos has 125 base Sp. Attack stat, so don’t waste a moveslot on something like Steel Wing. Heat Wave and HP [Fighting/ Ground] can cover his weaknesses.
Articuno needs to have big attacks to make up for it’s lack of offensive power. Steel Wing is adding insult to injury. Hp [Fighting] is better.
Zapdos actually has a higher attack stat so that and type coveragehasto make Zapdos your choice of “Who gonna learn Steel Wing?”
I think Articuno should learn it because (This may get a bit confusing!) Steel is super effective to Rock, and Rock attacks are 4x effective to Articuno because Rock beats Ice and Flying, which is Articuno’s type. So if it has Steel Wing it can kill Rock types. :)
