Talk:Assist (move)

What moves can it call

I know Assist calls a move of one of the user's teammates. What does that include?

• 1. Fainted teammates?
• 2. Moves with no PP left?
• 3. Its active partner in a Double Battle?
• 4. Metronome?

I believe it's any move, as long as it's in the party... ht14 02:08, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

If you can use Metronome through Assist, then it's possible to use a total of FIVE moves in a single turn (Sleep Talk>Assist>Metrenome>Nature Power>Whatever move Nature Power turns into). Diachronos 16:52, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Even if it doesn't you could go Sleep Talk > Metronome > Assist > Nature Power > Whatever move Nature Power turns into- unsigned comment from Gastlys mama (talk • contribs)

This doesn't work. It says on the Metronome page that Metronome will not call Assist. Yenreb 01:39, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Hmm... Maybe I've been very unlucky, or Metronome cannot be called by Assist. I've been training a Pokémon with Assist and it never calls Metronome or Protect. Protect could make more sense, but then why doesn't the game at least say "it failed" or something? But Metronome, it's never, never called. --Johans 21:30, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Maybe try making a test-team with 2 Pokémon: one that only knows Assist, and one that only knows Metronome. Diachronos 17:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Tried using Metronome through Assist and it didn't work. It basically says that the move failed. It probably follows the same list as Metronome cannot pick.

Drowzee

How come for the first one Drowzee is starred? ht14 02:08, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I didn't do it, but it is because it can only be learned through chain breeding. If you look, it says the father must be a Spinda, and a Spinda's father must be a Skitty. Does anyone know if this is the official way of doing this? Zeofar 04:37, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

No, I'm saying it's double-starred... ^ht14 18:10, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, so it's nothing special... ^ht14 18:44, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Furret

I'm pretty sure that the Furret in Colosseum can learn Assist through purification/level up. Can anyone confirm this.--MisterE13 01:54, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

According to our page, Furret learns assist by breeding, and Iron Tail, Helping Hand, Quick Attack, and Strength through purification. You may want to double-check with another source, though. --((Marton imos)) 01:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Come to think of it, that does sound like mine's moveset. I was probably wrong.--MisterE13 03:19, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Question concerning Assist move

Well, a while ago, I was playing my SoulSilver version and while re-battling Whitney, I noticed something strange. She sent out her last Pokémon, a Delcatty. And I sent out my Frossie (My Froslass's Nickname). Well, most of you already know that 1. Whitney's speciality is Normal-type Pokémon and 2. Froslass is an Ice/Ghost-type Pokémon. Well, while we were battling, Whitney's Delcatty used this move (recalling, the "Assist" move) and the message said. "The foe's DELCATTY used Assist!" (animation) "The foe's DELCATTY used Flamethrower!" after that I said "I'm done for :(", then, it said "It doesn't affect Frossie...". After I saw that, I was like "Shouldn't that hit my Pokémon? I mean, it's a Fire-type move after all." I hope that you can answer my doubt, and if I missed something to edit this page, sorry about that, hehe. It's been a long time since I don't edit a wiki.
