Flame and toxic orb in D/P/PL...?

What is the point of having them? All they do is poision/Burn your pokemon. Whats the point of harming your pokemon?

I do know about the "trick" move (the one that swaps items/w pokemon)

So please post your idea's about them!


(and yes, you can laugh at me)

OK.  *laughs*

Just kidding.

And as for their use, aside from Trick, give them to something that has Guts or Quick Feet and knows Protect.  Use Protect on the first turn and the orb activates, which activates the ability.  And no, the attack drop from burn does not take place on a Guts Pokemon.

Also, if you give it to a Clefable with Magic Guard it will be immune to the damage from Toxic while being immune to status.

Use it with a Pokemon with really high attack, is a Normal type, and knows Facade for some serious sweeping. I looked on Serebii.net and found that Swellow could probably use it well.

I suppose you could use Fling, which then burns/poisons the defender, as well as 30 base damage (not great, but meh).

I know for a fact that Raticate is good for this too.

So let's see, we got Guts, Quick Feet, Poison Heal, Facade, Fling, Magic Guard/Facade…..  Lot of uses, I'd say.

Well, you could do that with Poison Heal Breloom or Immunity Snorlax.

I doubt we'll ever know- Fling fails if the Pokemon is holding a Pokeball.
