I was never suggesting that Yoshi COULD eat Ivysaur; he cannot.His body and mouth do not act like that of a snake eating a whole pig, so we can rule that idea out.
No. But Yoshi is faster than Ivysaur, larger than Ivysaur, heavier than Ivysaur, stronger than Ivysaur, and smarter than Ivysaur.Yoshi is a natural fighter?
The hands just help him get a hold of Ivysaur is all. Ivysaur isn't going to be using his claws to much extent; his legs are stubs, and unlike a tiger or a wolf, Ivysaur canot pounce upon Yoshi.Tigers and wolves do not have hands, but that doesn't stop them from tearing up a human being. I fail to see how hands are more superior than paws with nails to claw at. Yoshi stands erect, but Ivysaur does not. Humans stand erect, but tigers and wolves do not. Do you see where I am going with this?
Honestly, the idea that an animal could be immune to all toxic substances, or even fiercely resistant, is impossible. Now the question would be, what types of poisons COULD yoshi reasonably resist and "are ivysaur's poisons one of those"?
The first thing is that Yoshi will not succumb to the poisons immediately, and don't forget that the poisons may or may not be too effective. The thing is, as Ivysaur has evolved to be immune to his own poisons, Yoshi may have developed an immunity against it as well, depending on whether its a familiar kind of toxin or not. Now, even if they are harmful to Yoshi, its not neccesarily an immediate threat.Without ranged attacks in the mix, Yoshi must approach, and if he does, Ivy can toxin him quickly, then kill him. That is if Ivy is able to spread the toxins in the air around her(?).
Also, Yoshi's are SOCIALLY advanced, not necessarily TACTICALLY advanced, so Ivy is probably more experienced of a fighter.
Ivy wins, Yoshi won't be able to kill Ivy before Ivy poisons him/stuns him/puts him to sleep.
None of which you have explained, let alone proved.Ivysaur may be similar to this... dinosaur thing, but he's still at a disadvantage to Yoshi in close combat for alot of reasons.
I see a lot of assertions here. Prove that Yoshi is faster. Prove that Yoshi is heavier. Prove that Yoshi is stronger. Prove that Yoshi is smarter.No. But Yoshi is faster than Ivysaur, larger than Ivysaur, heavier than Ivysaur, stronger than Ivysaur, and smarter than Ivysaur.
That doesn't sound like something beneficial for Yoshi. What is going to do, grab Ivysaur and lick him to death?The hands just help him get a hold of Ivysaur is all.
How do you know that Ivysaur isn't going to use his claws to much extent? I'm sure he is capable of learning Cut. As for pouncing, Ivysaur has this other attack that he learns. It's called Tackle. There's also Take Down, Strength, and Rock Smash.Ivysaur isn't going to be using his claws to much extent; his legs are stubs, and unlike a tiger or a wolf, Ivysaur canot pounce upon Yoshi.
Says who? Source, please? Ivysaur has Poison Powder, Toxic, which is a ranged attack, and Sludge Bomb. These two other attacks would be projected from Ivysaur's mouth. Just fire Toxic or Sludge Bomb into Yoshi's eyes, and this match won't look good for it.The first thing is that Yoshi will not succumb to the poisons immediately,
Well, assumptions aren't good enough.The thing is, as Ivysaur has evolved to be immune to his own poisons, Yoshi may have developed an immunity against it as well, depending on whether its a familiar kind of toxin or not.
Why not?Now, even if they are harmful to Yoshi, its not neccesarily an immediate threat.
Why not? Is Yoshi a natural fighter?The thing about Ivy's intelligence, is that he's a wild pokemon. Now, although some wild pokemon (rayquaza) can be devilishly smart, Ivysaur doesn't strike me as one.
Proof, please?Yoshi may or may not be tactically smarter than Ivy, but he is much more fit for combat with Ivysaur than vice versa.
How's poison powder temporary?It seems clear to me that this battle is decided by how quickly Yoshi can beat up Ivysaur versus how quickly the powders will effect him...
In the games, both Sleep Powder and Poison Powder are temporary; they don't last long. This is a reference that they are not very powerful. I do not think that the poison powder is capable of killing Yoshi, or that the Sleep Powder will lock Yoshi in "sleep mode" unitl Ivy kills him. Actually, Ivysaur doesn't even have a way of killing him instantly, because he's so lightweight and doesn't really have any weapons. A strong enough attack would probably awaken Yoshi before he dies.
Thats in the game, were talking about in real life. The if sleeping powder is strong enough to make him fall asleep then yoshi wont be waking up for awhile. Its like a bear being shot by a tranquilizer, it wont wake up regardless of it being picked up or anything. Also if the poison can poison you, it has the potential to kill you, poison doesnt just go away you know? unless your immune system is just that amazing LOLIt seems clear to me that this battle is decided by how quickly Yoshi can beat up Ivysaur versus how quickly the powders will effect him...

Haha, well with all of the crap(and people) that Yoshi puts in his mouth, it might just be.Also if the poison can poison you, it has the potential to kill you, poison doesnt just go away you know? unless your immune system is just that amazing LOL
1) Ivy has no up-close weaponary of any significane other than his jaws. Yoshi has arms, legs, head and tailNone of which you have explained, let alone proved.

Why not?
Why not? Is Yoshi a natural fighter?
Proof, please?
Wow! Dryn and Adumbrodeus came from nowhere... Okay, @ Dryn: Ivy's legs are very short an do not bend very much. He cannot run very fast on legs like that while Yoshi, who stands up straight off his very flexible and well-built legs can. Ivysaur also is only 3'3" in height and weighs less than thirty pounds. Yoshi, being bigger and heavier than Mario, is bigger and heavier than Ivysaur.
Doesnt poison molecule multiply inside the body? or is that cancer? -.-@NightSN - Not all poison will kill you. It only will if its strong enough
There are many different types of poison.Doesnt poison molecule multiply inside the body? or is that cancer? -.-
I really don't think Ivy is going to be kicking his opponents. He can shoot seeds and poweful beams of light out of his back for a reason lol. You're also forgetting that his vines basically function as super long and powerful arms. I'll try to find a clip of it, but I remember the episode where Ash gets Bulbasaur and his vines reach like 50 feet across a canyon. I'd like to see Yoshi get close in the first place.Ivy's legs are very short an do not bend very much.

could we get a clarification on if ivy can vinewhip or not?I really don't think Ivy is going to be kicking his opponents.

Ivysaur. He has so many status ailment causing attacks, forces an approach from Yoshi with a rather decent range, and IMO would be more willing to become involved in a violent fight.
Read the rules before you barge in here assuming things please.Yeah poison powder definitely isn't temporary, and unlike in the games where only one effect can be in effect at once, in a real fight Ivysaur could poison, paralyze and put Yoshi to sleep. After that, just solar beam or rip him to shreds with some leafs I love Yoshi, but Ivysaur is the clear winner in my opinion.
You're ignoring Cut, which he would use his paws to claw with. You're ignoring Tackle, which he would tackle Yoshi. You're ignoring Take Down. You're ignoring Poison Powder, Toxic, and Sludge Bomb. The last two would probably act somewhat like a spitting cobra, which fires venom from its venom glands inside its mouth and often hits directly in the eyes.1) Ivy has no up-close weaponary of any significane other than his jaws. Yoshi has arms, legs, head and tail
But not tactical. Yoshi is not a natural fighter.2)YOSHI IS BIGGER, and it is known to have complex social behavior, proving intellect
That's kind of hard to believe. Ivysaur could simply retaliate by clawing, or using Poison Powder, or Toxic and even Sludge Bomb.3)hold ivy while biting him, hold ivy and prevent ivy from attacking, throw ivy, etc, etc
Which is why he can learn Cut. Right.4)ivy doesnt really have claws to begin with, and his arms arent made for a slashing motion...
A moment is all is needed.5)it may take a moment to take effect
I was referring to Yoshi.6)why would a creature that spreads poision in the air as a defense not be immune to it? theyd die trying to save their lives...
So, if Yoshi has shown the ability to deal with foes, whatever that means, but much more often doesn't engage in combat, then what does that tell us about Yoshi? That looks like a disadvantage on Yoshi's part.8)yoshi has shown an ability to deal with foes, but much more often doesnt engage in combat
Ivysaur is a Pokémon. Pokémon fight.9)ivy is good at poisoning opponents, not actually fighting them
Do you know what animal that lives today, has legs similar to that of Ivysaur? The hippopotamus. It is the second heaviest animal to walk on land, and it can run much faster than a human being, though for a short while. Give that some thought.Ivy's legs are very short an do not bend very much. He cannot run very fast on legs like that while Yoshi, who stands up straight off his very flexible and well-built legs can.
Poison Powder, Toxic, and Sludge Bomb, if it poisons, does not wear off, unless you have Antidote on you, or you head to the Pokémon Center. Toxic increases each turn, showing it to be a very potent poison.Ivy's poison/sleep powders are temporary, which I thought might be a reference that they weren't too strong...
It's depicted in different ways in the anime.^ i like this guy. i agree one hundred percent, though i thought sludge bomb would be a physical ball of poison, seeing how strong it is, not just like a spitting cobra?
I've done my research now, and that fact did surprise me. However, we must consider the fact that the hippo is many times more large than Ivysaur. About five times larger; a hippo runs at an average of twenty miles per hour at first (it slows down fast). Proportionally, Ivysaur would be running about five to nine miles an hour. Forgive me, but Yoshi can proabably run faster than that. Also, hippos can't jump, and I don't see why Ivysaur could.Do you know what animal that lives today, has legs similar to that of Ivysaur? The hippopotamus. It is the second heaviest animal to walk on land, and it can run much faster than a human being, though for a short while. Give that some thought.
What would Ivysaur be scratching; he can't jump very well, and has only Yoshi's legs to try to scratch. I think Ivysaur trying to use those eety beety claws is a bit ridiculous. Ivysaur's still inferior to Yoshi in speed; how can he tackle Yoshi? And if he did, he only weighs thirty pounds or so, Yoshi could just shove him away. And Take Down is the same thing as Tackle as far as I can see.You're ignoring Cut, which he would use his paws to claw with. You're ignoring Tackle, which he would tackle Yoshi. You're ignoring Take Down.
I don't think that Yoshi's tail will help him, but his arms will. He can grab onto Ivysaur (thumbs) while Ivysaur can't. Also, Ivysaur can attack with any part of his body if he has move to let him; that doesn't mean it's gonna be effective here. Headbutting with him would be about as deadly as tackling with him. Yoshi has alot of things to do once he's grabbed Ivysaur; Ivysaur has stubs for arms and legs and can't really do anything to force Yoshi away.Yoshi has arms? So does Ivysaur. Yoshi can use his head in combat? Headbutt, anyone? Yoshi has a tail? It's nothing like Ridley's, who wouldn't even have to turn around to hit his opponent. Yoshi, on the other hand, would have to if he tried. And his tail is too short to safely attack with.
That's sixty seconds where Yoshi can pick him up and just bite him or rip his arm off or kick him to death or more. Unless Ivy has a way to free himself from Yoshi's grasp, he could get bloodied up in that sixty seconds.A moment is all is needed.
So, he wouldn't be moving as fast as an average human? Hippopotami can run up to 30 to 40 mph. Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, can only run 23 mph. An average human can run around 10 mph. Animals that are on four legs tend to move faster, and because Ivysaur isn't nearly a ton, he won't get as worn out when running like a hippopotamus would. How fast can Yoshi actually run?Proportionally, Ivysaur would be running about five to nine miles an hour. Forgive me, but Yoshi can proabably run faster than that. Also, hippos can't jump, and I don't see why Ivysaur could.
Yoshi.What would Ivysaur be scratching;
But, he can tackle. Knocking Yoshi down would work just fine. Yoshi really isn't that tall as you want to make him be. It's really only his enlarged snout and huge eyes that make him appear big.he can't jump very well, and has only Yoshi's legs to try to scratch.
Observe those "eety beety" claws.I think Ivysaur trying to use those eety beety claws is a bit ridiculous.
You have yet to prove this. So far, you haven't brought an official source on how fast Yoshi can run. All this time, you've been making up stuff.Ivysaur's still inferior to Yoshi in speed;
The same way he'd tackle any opponent larger than him.how can he tackle Yoshi?
Let me throw thirty pounds of muscle, fat, and skeleton all combined in one at you, and tell me that you're just going to shove it away. They're not fighting on the moon. Take Down is a physical attack, but it does more damage.And if he did, he only weighs thirty pounds or so, Yoshi could just shove him away. And Take Down is the same thing as Tackle as far as I can see.
Yoshi has two arms. He can't be holding Ivysaur and attacking Ivysaur at the same time. Ivysaur, however, could project Toxic or Sludge Bomb from his mouth, release Poison Powder from his bulb, bite, scratch, &c. So, if Yoshi grabs Ivysaur, what part would he be grabbing? If it's his arms, Ivysaur can use his mouth to bite or release his poisonous attacks. If it's his mouth, Ivysaur can claw at him. If Ivysaur tackles Yoshi and knocks him to the ground, this gives Ivysaur a free hit to use any of his poisonous attacks, or bite, or claw at. Also, Yoshi's mouth is a bit small with that large snout in the way, making it a bit difficult to bite at Ivysaur.He can grab onto Ivysaur (thumbs) while Ivysaur can't. Also, Ivysaur can attack with any part of his body if he has move to let him; that doesn't mean it's gonna be effective here.
Like I said, Yoshi would have to use both of his arms, which means he doesn't have much options left. And that doesn't even mean he would have Ivysaur restrained. He can't use one arm to restrain Ivysaur and the other to attack with. He's really only left with biting, but Ivysaur can do the same and freely use his poisonous attacks, whether in the eyes or on the lips or in the mouth.Headbutting with him would be about as deadly as tackling with him. Yoshi has alot of things to do once he's grabbed Ivysaur; Ivysaur has stubs for arms and legs and can't really do anything to force Yoshi away.
This exaggeration is too silly to even bother arguing. Is this where you concede that Yoshi lost?That's sixty seconds where Yoshi can pick him up and just bite him or rip his arm off or kick him to death or more. Unless Ivy has a way to free himself from Yoshi's grasp, he could get bloodied up in that sixty seconds.
Nah, it has nothing to do with being a moderator. I'm only human. I just don't see a kind dinosaur beating a natural born fighter.also, i learned today dont mess with mods in an argument, they will only beat you
