BTW, if anyone is interested in investigating who was that fan, remember the press first translated "りゅうせいぐん" as "[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Meteoric_Swarm&redirect=no Meteoric Swarm]". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 02:11, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

:::That, or "Comet Swarm" because 「りゅうせい」 translates to Comet. Though one can argue that it can also be broken down to 「りゅう」 (Dragon) 「せい」 (Star) 「ぐん」 (Army or Cluster), it makes less sense this way therefore making the former translation more accurate. --[[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 11:01, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Hmmmm

Why is there a need to put under the page "move"? Jayh272416 09:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

It's just the way things are done on the site. Don't worry about it.--OmegaPlatinum 04:03, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Draco Meteor trivia

I remember this is the move that was designed by some Japanese fan around April to June 2006. Was his or her name ever published? --Johans Nidorino 21:18, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

When I saw this move, the first thing I thought of was Harry Potter's enemy, Draco Malfoy ... Hehe. Tesh 21:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

No, there will not be a Psychic move called Trelawney Meteor. TTEchidna 00:56, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Mew?

Mew's page says it can't learn this... Which page is right?

Mew can't. Dragon-types only. Arceus can't even learn it unless it becomes a Dragon-type. TTEchidna 20:59, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Before anyone else inquires, no, Mew can't learn Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, or Hydro Cannon either. For one, none of those three was ever a TM, unlike the other move tutors in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Secondly, how would the old woman at Cape Brink be able to know which move you'd be trying to teach it? --Shiningpikablu252 21:13, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
I think the mention of Mew should be removed from the article entirely. Mew is not "supposedly able to learn every move", it is able to learn every Machine. Doesn't it say below in red not to misrepresent misconceptions as fact? --ZellMurasame 16:36, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
In FR/LG/E, it can learn every tutor move except the not-so-great Elemental Beams. Hence why we mention it. Tina δ 16:39, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes but as it is stated above, those were never Technical or Hidden Machines. So it would make sense that they could (and are) excluded. Every tutor move Mew learns is already a TM. --ZellMurasame 16:44, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Flamethrower wasn't before Gen II (though it would become one). I also cite Mew's Pokédex entry for FireRed: "A Pokémon from South America that was thought to have been extinct. It is very intelligent and learns any move." And as well, let me cite the entry for Pearl: "Many scholars regard it as the ancestor of Pokémon since it can use all known moves." I've added the emphasis, of course. I merely added the disclaimer because it says repeatedly in the games that Mew can learn any move. Not any machine move, but any move, period. And so the games are liars and we must attest to this. TTEchidnaFire echyGSDS! 20:15, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I was thinking that Mew could be "able to learn" these moves if they were just random specialized moves, but Mew is just "not allowed to" in a sense, because of their meaning and purpose. The meaning and purpose of these moves (to be tailor-made for the starters and the Dragon-type Pokémon) is what disallows the tutors to teach them to Mew. They're like regular move tutors, except that they have an extra condition in their programming. If Volt Tackle weren't an Egg move but a tutor move for the Pikachu family, such move tutor would probably not allow Mew to learn Volt Tackle. And yeah... That second paragraph sounds a little trivia-like; its first sentence would be enough IMO. --Johans 16:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


Is it really accurate to say that Draco Meteor is the only TM, HM, or tutor move that Mew can't learn, when the elemental hyper beams are also tutor moves that Mew can't learn? I think the trivia should have a qualification of some sort. - Buddy Christ

Mew can learn it. Mine did. The only reason why other people's Mews can't, is because their Mews' happiness isn't high enough. If anyone has a legit Mew, load it up with vitamins, and bring it to the Draco Meteor tutor. Then, you'll see that it can learn it. Baby G 13:37, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Mew can learn it. The Mew just has to be legit, and its happiness rating has to be max. Try it yourself before assuming wrong stuff. Baby G 20:26, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Wrong. Bulbapedia does not tolerate the insertion of false information. You're basically demanding that we insert that Mew can learn a move that it cannot learn just because you claim it can through your usage of a cheat device. People have already tried what you're asking them to do, with legit Mew no less, and not a single one of them successfully got Draco Meteor when they tried to get it. It's been known since the tutor was first discovered that Mew can't learn Draco Meteor.
Additionally, this precedent of a Move Tutor being unable to teach a move to Mew isn't even new to Generation IV. Mew couldn't learn Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, and Hydro Cannon in FireRed and LeafGreen, and it still can't in Diamond and Pearl. By your logic, Mew can learn all three of those moves in both pairs of games, yet it's been prove that Mew cannot learn any of them.
Case in point: Please accept the fact that Mew cannot legally learn Draco Meteor. End of story. --Shiningpikablu252 20:32, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
I got my Action Replay in August 2007, and I taught Mew the move in June 2007. I had no cheating devices beforehand. Baby G 20:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Then your copy of the game is fake. A real copy of the game would never glitch out and allow a Pokémon to learn a move it wouldn't normally be able to learn. Only a fake game or a cheating device could even hope for a move tutor to teach a move to a Pokémon that can't learn it in real, unaltered copies of the game. --Shiningpikablu252 20:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
If it's fake, then I suppose every copy from GameStop is fake. Not to mention I got my copy on the day of Diamond & Pearl's release after waiting in line for about 3 hours. Baby G 20:43, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Then you're probably lying about the whole thing just to get us to give in to your will. Well, it won't work. This is the last straw. We do not take too kindly to people who try to bully sysops into inserting false information that the sysop knows is false. Please stop with this tirade before you find yourself blocked. --Shiningpikablu252 20:52, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Sketching it!

Can Smeargle actually 'learn' the move Draco Meteor? I thought that it could just use through Sketch. Also, can't pokémons knowing the move Metronome use this move? :Misty-May-Dawn rulz 13:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Sketch causes Smeargle to actually learn the targeted move. Permanently. In this way, Smeargle is the only Pokémon able to haveFrenzy Plant, Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, and Draco Meteor in the same moveset. ****, it can have any four moves in the game in the same moveset! Can Mew do that? No. --Shiningpikablu252 13:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
OK, but even then, Pokémons like Clefable which know Metronome, even they can use this move, can't they? Misty-May-Dawn rulz 06:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes, they can. --Johans 08:30, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
