Shudder? What does it mean exactly?

There is just a message saying "Croagunk shuddered with anticipation!"DCM 15:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
To shudder is along the lines of shaking in fear. ~$aturn¥oshi THE VOICES 17:09, 30 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I know what shudder means, but how exactly does it affect the game? TheBlazikenMaster 02:46, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
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)Reply
Just a warning, aha, I get it now. TheBlazikenMaster 02:57, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply
The question is, does it count even non-damaging moves, say, Rest? TTEchidna 17:42, 25 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
No, I'm pretty sure it only applies to moves that cause damage. Diachronos 17:34, 26 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
