What is the conversion rate of blasting to slamming?

Depends which pokemon your using and which technique. A focus blast, water blast, fire blast or techno blast all have different effects and it will vary by the pokemon that its against. The same is true for slamming, where you have slam, heavy slam and body slam.

So we will need to know which kind of blasting and slamming that's happening, as well as the types of creatures employing the techniques.

Best answer.

Marginalia but the drummer wrote a great book called "So You Want to be a Rock & Roll Star" that really details the scumminess of the business. Strong recommend.

That said, good on them for speaking out.

I second this. Excellent book, although the industry has changed a bit since then.

As if it’ll do anything. This administration has been ignoring the courts since day one.
