I'm sorry, but I had a data entry error while editing. Someone will have to consolidate my new information with the previous version. - unsigned comment from ANinyMouse (talkcontribs)

This is SO not true.

In the "Availability" tab in the infobox it says:

"Not a TM, HM, or move tutor move."

Oh yeah? Then explain why it's listed as such. TheBlazikenMaster 20:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Relax. It's because the correct field hadn't been added yet to the infobox. - s.Combusken 20:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ash's Gliscor

Did it use sandstorm/sand-attack or what? I'm mentioning this because I saw people have pretty much turned this into an edit war. Please discuss and enlighten those of us who are not sure. Thank you. Jellotalk 19:49, 19 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

I think it did. First, a lot of people say it was an improvised move, but why would Ash do that? This was two episodes before the counter-shield was invented, and he's a Pokemon Trainer. Second, people are saying that Staravia's Whirlwind created the sandstorm. How could that be when the sand comes off Gliscor's body (in a swirling motion, exactly like Paul's Gliscor did in the episode before), and Staravia is facing the complete other direction that Gliscor is facing?

For the last time, no it didn't Ataro 20:04, 19 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
The point of this discussion is to discuss about how it did or did not use it. That's not much of a point, lol. ^^ Littlmiget123 20:06, 19 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Sand Attack and Whirlwind/Gust together. That's a Sandstorm, but not the sandstorm this article should have. --Psyライダー 22:17, 19 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
The pic isn't showing. But I know the episode we're talking about. And Sand-attack is used in a completely different manner. Gliscor flings dirt at the opponent from the ground, not from its body. Can I ask why people are so against this being Sandstorm? I'm very curious. ^^ Littlmiget123 22:24, 19 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Not every move has to be cut and dry exactly the same, just because it flips dirt from the actual ground in one episode doesn't mean it can't go back to the EP era where the sand just magically comes from behind it's back, or even it could be the whirlwind that's picking the dust up.

Maybe, but that still doesn't tell me why everyone is against it using Sandstorm. And in the EP era, didn't the Pokemon throw dirt at the opponent from their claws or legs as well? I'm pretty sure the only Pokemon who makes sand come from their body is Hippopotas, and that's from the holes on its body. This is so confusing. Littlmiget123 22:50, 19 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Ash never commanded him to use Sandstorm, he called for a Sand Attack and Whirlwind. D: --Psyライダー 22:55, 19 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
