    ... Now to logic out how a girafarig would do it. If frisk is skill swapped onto a pokemon, the ability wouldn't take effect, right? Considering how it says it works only in the round a pokemon is first sent out? So what is false swipe, exactly? A non-priority fake out?

    Can you mimic/copycat/whatever signature moves? If so, do they have a usage gap? Somewhat differently, can you sketch signature moves?

    But bees. :( Could the same be done with attack order or heal order? Could shell smash be used to break off a piece of some other thing's armor, giving the stat modifications to them?

    But now Tuft making fifteen clones won't be nearly as impressive! How does normalize work, exactly? Would the boosts from a moon stone/silk scarf/normal gem apply to every move, even if the move is not usually normal type? It states that normalize makes every move have STAB. What if normalize...

    Weather moves are banned this round, but if I recall correctly the other two work with ice-type damage.

    What would happen in the case of an imperfect transformation? Is it possible to order a transform to be botched in some way (no legs, more legs, something)?

    Do pokemon tend to "snap out" of fake tears if used repeatedly, like one would become resistant to numerous usages of taunt or encore? What about if the original target is given reason to believe that the one who used fake tears isn't quite so pathetic? (Such as, you know, by inflicting massive...

    Attacks and Abilities Guide

    If a pokemon uses covet or thief to take an item and doesn't want the opponent to have it again, could they get rid of it in another way without using a whole action? For example, could they eat the item even if it wasn't normally intended to be edible? What about just destroying it? EDIT...

    True, but I'm not always sure if some refs use whatever scale or if they'll edit the energy cost and also sometimes I'm paranoid about that sort of thing.

    Attacks and Abilities Guide

    Does a pokemon know what commands they're going to use in advance, or is it an action-by-action thing? Can a pokemon know the approximate energy cost of a move? That together would allow this: Use high energy move A, then high energy move B, then high energy move C. If the combined cost of A...

    Does switching out (or rotating out, in the case of the tournament) allow for the use of fake out repeatedly on the same pokemon by the same pokemon? Also, can knocked off items be picked back up?

    Attacks and Abilities Guide

    If a pokemon is flying above their opponent when the foe uses sleep powder, will it miss due to it being above the powder? With gravity it would just float down, after all.
