Another very commonly used English name for these songs is "Fish Dance", not to be confused with "Fishing Dance", another social. The recording is of the "Old Songs" (Giyon), in contrast to a multitude of "New Songs" (ginu'sa) which appear briefly and then usually are forgotten. The usual second dance at a Social and the favourite of the young-in-heart. as in the English carol: "Deck the halls with boughs of Holly, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la." A few songs have meaningful lyrics, but most are simple burden syllables by which the melody is carried. New songs are introduced from time-to-time, but the old ones remain tested favourites. All men can join in the responses to the head singer's lead, but usually only a few near the front participate. No musical instruments are used in Gada 'trot, but a percussive effect obtains from the clomping in unison of the dancers' feet. While the dance can be performed in the simple jog there are always those excellent dancers, filled with the joy of rhythm and motion, who improvise little bursts of fancy footwork off to the side of the file of slower dancers. Soon all ages of women join, each taking a place between two men.

Youngsters inclined to clumsy bunching and jostling, dance to the rear and follow this pattern in the other social dances. It is the custom for the best dancers to take the lead and less skillful, more reticent to take the rear. A moment after they have begun singing and dancing a line of male dancers suddenly develops behind them. It is he who decides the order of dances, picks singers and dancers, and relates all this to the Speaker who announces it to the People. These two are picked by a "push" or master of ceremonies chosen for the night. The dance begins when the lead singer and his assistant appear on the dance floor. The step is an uncomplicated flat-footed shuffle. As with all the dances the direction is contraclockwise. The easy chug-chug around the Longhouse unlimbers stiff joints and relaxes one for the strenuous efforts to come. It is appropriate therefore, that such a Thanksgiving song introduce an evening's dancing. Similarly, upon their return home this would be repeated as a Thanks-giving for their success on the hunt. It is said that in ancient times warriors (the name is still applied to men whether engaged in war or other pursuits) on expeditions distant from home would prop their quivers against one another tipi-fashion and dance around them. Too bad Yanma/Yanmega don't get Baton Pass.Invariably, this simple shuffle dance opens social get-to-gethers. This would most-likely be used on a Mono-Bug team and, while I love Shedinja, I'm not much for Ninjask.
#QUIVER DANCE HOW TO#
Should I just train it as I would a Special Sweeper (252 SpAtk, 252 Spe), or do you think I should try putting some of those EVs toward its defenses? I was thinking about trying to balance out its defenses (after 1x Quiver Dance), but I wasn't sure how to distribute the EVs to make them equal. There's also Attract, but that doesn't deal damage and is a bit more situational.


Shame it isn't a Rock-Type instead (would've made Sandstorm useful).ĭo you think Confusion might be a better option than Psychic? I know it does less damage, but with luck it may Confuse the opponent and save Wormadam from some hits.
#QUIVER DANCE FULL#
I just feel bad not training a full-odds Shiny and would like to try bringing out its full potential. This is certainly an awkward Pokémon-Nature combo, bordering useless regardless of how you look at it.

I wasn't quite sure where it needed to go.
