    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    If a Pokemon executes a combo, can it at least move around during the "rest" action?

    Could a Pokemon surround itself in fire with Fiery Dance and make its head metallic with Iron Head at the same time (or at least do one first and then the other, but have both going at the same time)?

    Does a Pokemon have to be able to learn Strength, or does it have to use it to lift something heavy? And if a Pokemon has a very high base attack (say, 105) and has access to Strength, will it be able to lift something that weighs about 93 pounds without actually using Strength?

    Whoops, I meant if a Psychic could lift a Pokemon without physically touching the Pokemon nor using Psychic, but I guess that's not possible. And that idea's been scrapped anyhow. Can a Swellow lift something around 93 pounds? What if it swooped in and grabbed said 93-pound thing?

    Can a Drifblim pick something up with those arm-like thingies at its base? What if that something was about 93 pounds? Can a Psychic Pokemon lift something around 93 pounds without using the move Psychic?

    If a non-aquatic non-Water Pokemon is submerged, does it take damage? What if it's weak to water (ground-type, specifically)?

    Yes, but I always thought that a Pokemon could see when the other was /preparing/ their move and react accordingly. Guess it does depend on the ref? Speed differences, perhaps? I'd still like an answer from Negrek though.

    How exactly does reacting to an opponent's attack work in ASB? Assuming Pokemon A is faster, I've assumed it's worked like this: Pokemon A is commanded to say, Tackle, but Leer if B uses Tackle B prepares Tackle A realizes B is about to use Tackle and uses Leer B executes Tackle However, I've...

    To be specific, all psychic Pokemon can hover, but those not listed under consensually hovering must take an action to begin hovering. This was somewhere earlier in the thread.

    Wait, I'm confused now. So do attacks like Earthquake and Surf suffer from the damage penalty?

    ASB Rules

    A lot of things in ASB are illogical because they follow game mechanics. Why would for example, Mud Bomb always fail to hit a Pokemon like Pidgeotto, even if they were not specifically commanded to fly up to avoid it? But these mechanics are what keep the game balanced, so. *shrug* Sometimes we...

    Illogicking and following game mechanics. Quoted from Bulbapedia, "Moves that hit multiple Pokémon have their power reduced to 75% of their normal base power, unless all other Pokémon have fainted at that point."

    ASB Rules

    If a Pokemon uses a move that hits multiple targets which include its ally, will its ally count towards the number of targets when calculating how much the move's BP should decrease by? For example uh... If a Pokemon uses Earthquake in a double battle, will its attack do 0.75 or 0.5 times its...

    How much can a Gastly spread the gas that makes up their body? As in everything except the core. Also, does Lock-On have any visual effects? Glowing eyes or anything?

    Does it take an action to simply toss a held item away?

    The problem with that is it'd be rather difficult to keep track of.

    From the referee HQ: If a battle is reffed within one week of the last set of commands being posted, there is a $1 bonus per pokémon on the field ($2 for most battles, $4 for a double battle in which all pokémon are still active, etc.). Also reading through the first post, another thing...

    Not sure where to ask this exactly, but: let's say a referee does a reffing on the 7th day after the commands are posted. However, it's a few hours past when the commands were posted, though it's still on the 7th day... does the referee still get the $1/Pokemon bonus?
