Sercret Power is an amazing move in ORAS. It lets you enter secret bases, scan QR codes, and summon Blissey bases. These things have trainers with 3 level 100 Blisseys that fight you in a triple battle once a day. With a set of Healing Wish and Toxic Orb, they go down quick, making them arguably the best grinding spot in all of Pokémon.

Doom Desire actually did get used at one point. Due to gen 3 mechanics, Doom Desire doesn’t calculate damage when it attacks, but instead on the turn it’s used. Meaning the damage is calculated based on the defense of the Pokémon that was in on the turn it was used. Sometimes, Choice Band Jirachi was used to lure in Blissey so that in the turn doom desire attacks, it deals a 140 bp unresisted damage on 5 defense. Paired with strong attackers like Salamence you were certainly getting a kill

I dont think that Hoenn has too much water, as long as you use dive. Most of the water routes are optional and/or have cool secrets tucked away, and/or has an interesting design element. Diving, rapids, the abandoned shipwreck, the ice cave, etc. The one thing I would change is, I would make dive more mandatory for navigating the late-game water routes. Rocks blocking the path forward that can only be navigated by diving. That would encourage people to actually dive more, which would help with the perception. If you treat the dive routes like they're a surf route, you're gonna think there is too much water.

Nature power is pretty darn solid in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, because the moves are, like you said, REALLY solid! A lot of them (notably the extremely common energy ball) are 4-range projectiles, which are very good. The few 1-range moves it can take are all very powerful, and its best move by far is earth power, which is a screen nuke. Its best trait by far is its 20 PP, which is almost certainly higher than whatever move it copies (keep in mind that this is in the PMD series, where PP actually matters). It does have a few downsides, most notably that since Pokemon often match their environments, some Pokemon in the dungeon will resist it, but for Pokemon like Cyndaquill who are really hurting for coverage will be grateful for it.

Meaning a pokemon with both technician and loaded dice will either do 150 or 188 base power with the moves with no downside of any kind.

This is not only statistically worse than Loaded Dice which is 4.5 times base damage on average; but on top of that-Life Orb hurts you by 1/10hp/use of an attacking move. So you do less damage OVERALL and take more damage too; but the boost of life orb isn’t just 1 move and you do have a slim, but not negligible, chance to do more damage in a single turn with life orb so long as you roll a 4 or a 5 which while only 30% of the time (100% if you have Skill Link), could be what you need to kill an exceptionally bulky opponent. In summary, while I do think Loaded Dice is an overall slight upgrade, it’s never going to be enough to make Life Orb obsolete.

14:00 The Hyper Beam clones are also really good in casual playthroughs where you can one shot something you wouldn't with Flamethrower and then switch out ( if you have Switch mode on ). For example, in Leaf Green, I had Frenzy Plant on my Venusaur in case I knew Razor Leaf wouldn't KO. Battling against Lorelei, I used it to knock out her Water-Ice types in one go then switch out to not get hit by the recharge turn and not get damaged via Ice Beam

Focus Punch is legit meta-defining for one gen (ADV), modern ADV has a lot of Focus Punchers who don't use Substitute: Tar, Swampert, Zard, Snorlax, Breloom, Heracross, Hariyama. The only Pokemon who regularly uses Sub is Hera. Refresh is a good move as well. It is used on gen 3 Swampert, gen 4 Jirachi, gen 5 Politoed, and Milotic in many gens (staple on Politoed and Milotic). While it's only used on a few Pokemon, it's def better than some low 'staples' like Extrasensory, Tickle, Blaze Kick or Bounce.

Gyarados got Hurricane in Gen 7 or so... Not that it matters because its awful for something with 65 special attack. In Ubers Mega Salamence use sometimes Facade at least back in the day because the Will-O-Wisps that try to lower its Attack Stat. Flatter saw some niche use in Gen 7 VGC under Misty Terrain. Not sure what Pokemon got boosted anymore since it has been half a decade ago. Yes. Gen 7 VGC was already half a decade. Feel old yet? I am shocked it only increases by 1 stage. I didn't know that. Follow Me in German is called Spotlight. Kinda weird. I thought Hail in Gen 3 doesn't make Blizzard 100% which was stupid but apparently it did. I wonder why I used to think it never hit 100%
