== Feather vs Wing ==
The japanese name of the move is "Haneyasume," translated here as "Feather Rest." However, "Hane" can also mean wing, and it can be learned by a bunch of things with wings but not feathers, so I'm wondering if "Wing Rest" might be a better translation?

:::And except for Mew of that list, all of the mentioned Pokémon have wings. What puzzles me tough, is that DUNSPARSE can learn it by LEVEL UP. What is with that? It doesn't even have wings... --[[User:Alex S.|Alex S.]] 22:30, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

An extension of the above. Due to Rotom-F being a Flying-type with Levitate, its ability appears to be useless for it, and only maintained for the purpose of Skill Swap and similar effects, along with if it is imported from Generation IV. However, what happens when Roost is used by it or any other Levitating Flying-type? [[User:Bwburke94|Bwburke94]] 18:53, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== ??? Arceus ==
I know Arceus can't learn this move but would this move be the reason that Arceus has a ???- type in the game data of Diamond and Pearl? If hacked it will change Arceus to a ???- type. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] 19:49, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
:I think the reason was that Curse was a ???-type move at the time, due to this it was involved in the games typing data, and due to Multitype they had to program it could get STAB and so they had to create the ??? form to stop the game breaking. I'm not sure if that was the entire reason though. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 13:48, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
== Type Effectiveness ==
Not sure if this is a glitch or not; but yesterday I was playing on random matchup(free single battles) and I encountered a Skarmory on the opposing team who first used stealth rock (I used fake out before that) and then I used ice punch(it was wearing rocky helmet) and then it used brave bird on my Pokémon(a Kangaskahn). Afterwards; before I could get my attack in, it used roost; and then I used drain punch. It registered as a neutral attack; where, to my understanding, it was supposed to be a super effective attack because roost makes the user lose its flying type and Skarmory is steel/flying type; right? I'm not sure if this is a bug or a glitch or something; but I was fairly confident I'd be getting a super effective attack in on Skarmory. Anyone know why this happened; and should this be added to the glitch section or something? [[User:Venus253|Venus253]] 14:35, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
