Shudder? What does it mean exactly?

There is just a message saying "Croagunk shuddered with anticipation!"DCM 15:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

To shudder is along the lines of shaking in fear. ~$aturn¥oshi ^{THE VOICES} 17:09, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

I know what shudder means, but how exactly does it affect the game? TheBlazikenMaster 02:46, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

It's...just a warning. I don't really understand what you're trying to ask.--Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 02:55, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Just a warning, aha, I get it now. TheBlazikenMaster 02:57, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

when a pokemon shudders it means the opposing pokemon has a move thats super effective against the pokemon that has the anticipation ability.

Not necessarily super effective. Just something that would have high power (Explosion for instance).--Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 04:29, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

When your Pokémon shudders, it means that the opponent has either: A) An attack that's super-effective against your Pokémon's type(s) (example: Your Toxicroak shudders if the opponent has a Psychic-, Flying-, or Ground-type attack; B) Either Explosion or Selfdestruct; or C) A 1-hit KO move (Sheer Cold, Guillotine, Fissure, Horn Drill.

Of course, there's no way to know for sure what your Pokémon's shuddering is caused by until it happens, so it's pretty much a "This guy's gonna kick my ***" warning. Diachronos 17:21, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
