:I think only when the trainer calls it out (or another trainer states that another Pokémon has used it) should count as it actually using it. As you say, many Pokémon have hit the opponent with its tail. However, the move Tail Whip does '''not''' cause damage and does '''not''' cause contact. Any case of a Pokémon hitting an opponent with its tail shouldn't be considered using this move for these reasons.

::That's in the games, but wasn't Psyduck trying to hit Cloyster with it in ''the Bridge Bike Gang''? Also, Ash never mentioned Flamethrower when Charizard breathed fire in his face, but that's quite obviously a Flamethrower, isn't it? Remember Psyduck is the only one officially mentioned to use Tail Whip, we don't know what it does for the other Pokemon with longer and more powerful tails. But if hitting an opponent with its tail is not a Tail Whip, what WOULD you call it? Not Aqua Tail (that move involves a spiral of water), not Tail Glow (that just involves the tail glowing), not Poison Tail (that's more of a slash), not Iron Tail (that requires the tail glowing before the attack), and not Slam, that requires wrapping the tail (or {{TP|Jessie|tongue|Lickitung}}, or tentacles, or vines, etc.) around the opponent and slamming them on the ground. If you had to name any attack, what would it be? [[User:Ghostkaiba297|Ghostkaiba297]] 18:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC) | |||
