Ah yes, ye good auld False Swipe. Mean Look, Spore, Sword Dance, False Swipe plus held Leftovers -- and you can catch everything. If you have a smeargle, of course.

Yeah, I can see how chucking a ball at someone's face could knock out their last point of HP. xD

interesting
I would have never thought about that. I bet pokeballs actually hurt, given how hard and how fast they are thrown.

The idea's been done. No worries, though. :P
He probably did something wrong. Maybe you have to press the button harder?

@Guest: Actually, you can't catch everything unless you replace one of those moves with Foresight. :p

I've been following your comic from the start and this is one of your best! Simple but hilarious! Keep up the great work!

I would love to see a comic strip about how the pokemon sink into the ground after they're defeated.
This is hilarious, I love it. xD

LOL that was hilarious. Interestingly enough, the move Fling fails when the pokemon itself attempts to throw an attached pokeball.

@DirkManlee: Great, now that's all i can see when I look at this comic.
Just a wierd looking Aipom belly surrounded by gibberish.

Anybody else noticing that after the pokeball hit the Aipom, it's JUST starting to open? owo

I always
wondered how come you couldn't just capture the pokemon once it fainted. Oh well.

Another Good One
If you're trying to capture a pokemon and it does Take Down or any other damaging move when it is at low health and knocks itself out... also, the Legendaries when they take too long capture and end up knocking themselves out with Struggle ;) That's always so infuriating haha

You know I really wanna see a comic about Farfetch'd. It's one of the rarest and most crappy pokemon.... yet the comcept, a samurai duck, seems totally frackin' awesome. What's your take on this farfethed pokemon (see what I did there!?)

Aipom Fainted!

Actually
False Swipe's name comes from a japanese swordfighting technique which consists of hitting the opponent with the blunt side of your blade. So Scyther should have been hitting aipom with the side of his hand-blade thingy.
Nevermind, that's probably just me being pedantic.

@TheStranger: maybe cause it needs it concious to mess with its mind for the loyalty aspect?

Based on a conversation between my lil' brother and I. Sort of a continuation on the inability to catch fainted pokemon issue, but with a fresh spin to it where the ball contact makes for an accidental final strike. On a different note, someone asked me to draw a strip featuring Scyther many moons ago, so the first panel is dedicated to you, guy-whose-name-is-now-forgotten-by-me!
