Technical Breakdown
Gen 3 starter Pokémon signature moves, Sceptile’s Leaf Blade, Blaziken’s Blaze Kick, and Swampert’s Hydro Cannon, are remarkable for their high base power and 100% accuracy. Leaf Blade’s Grass typing and Blaze Kick’s Fire typing grant them STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), further enhancing their damage output.
Performance Insights
Despite having the same base power, the three moves differ in their secondary effects. Leaf Blade boosts Sceptile’s Special stat, making it an effective mixed attacker. Blaze Kick, on the other hand, can cause burn, potentially crippling opponents. Hydro Cannon deals significant damage and has a high chance of flinching the target, making it a formidable control move.
Technical Breakdown
Sceptile’s Leaf Blade is notable for its high Speed and Special stat, allowing it to outspeed many opponents and strike with a powerful attack. Blaziken’s Blaze Kick benefits from its high Attack stat and access to the Ability Speed Boost, which further enhances its Speed. Swampert’s Hydro Cannon boasts a base power of 110, making it one of the most powerful Water-type moves in the game.
