Talk:Judgment (move)
File:NormalIC.gif | Due to special coding in place in the article to illustrate Judgment's types, certain displays will change showing Judgement as though the user were not holding a plate, therefore being a Template:Type2 move. This will only affect the type-themed color displays. This changes every second, so when the time comes, click here to return to the page and change the display. |
Type of move
Is it dependant on a plate being held or the type of the user as it can be used by any Pokémon knowing metronome by chance. Gywall 09:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
I've read a few sources referencing type, so I just want to be sure. Gywall 09:58, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- It is dependant on the Plate being held-And yes, it can be used through Metronome. Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏Talk|Links09:58 24 May 2008
On PBR, my Togepi pulled out Judgment via Metronome so it can be used like that. BlueJirachi 20:45, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
So then signature moves could apply to certain Pokemon other than the one intended.(if you understand)--Taviource 20:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Here's a question, then. What if Togepi was holding a plate? If Togepi was holding a Fist Plate, for example, and used Metronome, would the Judgment be fighting type? --Someone Else 13:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
I ask that no one forget smeargle. Also, the type of smeargle's judgement would not go by plate, but rather by the type of judgement that was used on it. Lonestar_Phoenixxx 14:08, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Translation of 「さばきのつぶて」
In the main article, I noticed that the translation of the Japanese name for the move is "Judgment Throwing Stone". I believe this is incorrect.
The term 「さばきのつぶて」 literally translates to "Strike of Judgment" (hence rewording to "Judgment Strike" or similar). This directly implies that this move is an act of divine intervention (therefore translating simply into Judgment in the english releases; a fitting name for what appears to be a "God" Pokémon).

- Meh, makes more sense than God smiting with a pebble. --- Aura-Knight 00:55, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Just saw a video of the animated attack Judgment. I imagine it being like the kind of attack which deserves a long FMV playing every time it is used.
In any case, I have made the edit based on the literal translation.

- I meant check in the edit summary.

- Google Translate calls it "the decision to drop." Therefore, we must obey.
- I'm kidding. But while "decision" can mean "Judgment," "to drop" has hardly anything to do with "Throwing Stone." And while Google Translate is made of uber fail, its translations are vaguely similar to its actually counterparts..:
- If you do translate "つぶて" alone through Google Translate, however, it does come out as "Throwing stones," and the part left out (さばきの) means "verdict," so I can see how you came across that... - espeonA 02:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Judgment or Judgement?
According to my dictionary, the word is usually spelled "judgement" with an extra "e", but can also be spelled "judgment" when it is referring to something in law. Judging by this (sorry, I couldn't resist that joke!) then surely it would make more sense for Arceus's special move to be spelled "Judgement". Is this Trivia worthy? Taromon777 22:54, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- Judgement is just another spelling variation of judgment, meaning either is correct. I don't think it's too notable. ~ overgrownsol 22:58, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- I always get screwed up in the spelling of the word, I always spell it Judgement, but I always get a red line under it meaning it's not spelled correctly, so I just take the "e" out and so it's rather annoying sometimes, as I'm confused as to the right spelling.--Dman dustin 01:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Well, since this is about the move, and in the game it is spelled without the extra e, it is offically Judgment, unless HeartGold, SoulSilver, or any future game changes the spelling. McKay 02:26, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
The timer thing that changes the type
Should we add that to the thing at the top that says "Judgment is a damage-dealing Normal-type move"?--Liquid ICE (User:Cold)(page, talk) 08:45, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Trivia Edit
Updated some grammar, and changed the reference. Simply because the Judgment in heaven in the Christian belief is much more passive when you die, whereas it is much more like an Attack when God passes judgment to people on earth. Also I apologize for the second edit. I'm a little new to this, still getting in the rhythm. Kalinalurik 21:09, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Changing Type
I don't know if this was intended, and I apologize if it was, but while the colour display is changing momentarily like the notice at the top of this page says, the introductory line in the article is as well. So, when I came to the page it said "...is a damage-dealing Bug-type move..." Alakazam17 02:17, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

- Let me clarify here. While the one who posted before me read the notice at the top of the page, he apparently did not read my post. Yes, the borders change due to the uniqueness of the ability(which is what that notice is all about), but I don't believe the line "...is a damage-dealing [insert type]..." should be. At least, this isn't the case on Arceus' page, where the border alternates but he is always identified as a "Normal-type." Which is basically what I said the first time.

Power
Down there in the trivia section - isn't the power essentially 180 since the plates also increase the power of those-type attacks by 20%? (Same thing for the plates page, only that fails to account for the STAB bonus) --Color Printer 03:55, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
"Most Powerful Move"
I have removed this line from the trivia in the article;
- " This means, providing Arceus is holding a plate, Judgement the most powerful move that is not detrimental to the user like Explosion and Selfdestruct."
This doesn't follow. The trivia states what with STAB and the plate bonus the base power rises to 180. That is a high base power, but moves like Hydro Pump can achieve 180 through STAB, or higher through the use of an item. Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Frenzy Planet, etc. can exceed 200 base power with STAB alone. It is misleading to claim that Judgement is 'the most powerful move'. It certainly is powerful, but is by not superlative. Darien Shields 16:23, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
