Talk:Chatter (move): Difference between revisions

:The [[Pokémon X & Pokémon Y: The Official Kalos Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]] book says that when Chatter is used by a Chatot, it inflicts the confusion status condition (while this may seem irrelevant, as Chatot is the only Pokémon that can learn Chatter, but the move could still be used by a non-Chatot if they were to use {{m|Transform}} or {{m|Metronome}}; use {{m|Mirror Move}}, {{m|Copycat}}, or {{m|Mimic}} after a Chatot used it;or have the {{a|Imposter}} [[Ability])]. This seems to suggest that whenever Chatot uses it, it has a 100% chance of causing confusion. [[User:Mangaman13|Mangaman13]] ([[User talk:Mangaman13|talk]]) 15:01, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

::Claims like that require testing, always. You cannot trust the wording of a book 100%, because they were likely ONLY taking into perspective that Chatter is its sig move, therefore nothing else would use it (despite there clearly being the means for otherwise). That said, my Imposter!Ditto was able to use Chatter and confuse the target; that means Transform will, too. But it was still technically a Chatot. I was then able to confuse a Chatot using Mirror Move Mimicked by Sudowoodo, meaning confusion is ''not'' a Chatot!effect only. So yeah, test stuff before inserting information like that into the article.
