    Question Box

    Could a Pokémon free itself from an Infestation by attacking the insects directly? (provided, the move makes sense with regard to attacking a swarm of insects and is not something like Close Combat)

    Question Box

    To what extent is a Pokémon capable of randomizing its actions? For example, if a Pokémon is given three conditionals and instructed to choose one at random, will it succeed? If a Pokémon is instructed to use a certain move on any one of its three actions, will it succeed?

    I just wanted to ask a question with regard to this reffing. Vine Whip's description says that it can be used to "strike the opponent with long vines or use them to grab the target and fling it around", and that it may also be used to "grab things from a distance or wrap an opponent up to...

    Question Box

    I did find this earlier, but the example of Hail not removing a Froslass's clones didn't really answer my question, because a Froslass wouldn't be damaged by hail anyway. Flavor-wise, wouldn't the other Pokémon be able to see the real target if it was taking damage from the Hail? And what's...

    Question Box

    I just wanted to be absolutely clear on this: Will damaging weather conditions (Sandstorm, Hail) remove Double Team clones from the field? What about if the Pokemon is a ghost-type that does not resist the weather? Also, I've often seen commands such as "spread out Flamethrower if there are...

    Will Counter/Mirror Coat/Metal Burst fail if the Pokemon using it had all incoming attacks absorbed by a Substitute?

    Question Box

    Do moves like Volt Switch and Baton Pass have priority in ASB? The ASB rules state that switching has priority over any attack, but this doesn't apply to moves that switch the user out, does it? It's certainly not that way in the games.

    Question Box

    What happens when a Pokémon that is already confused uses a move like Outrage that would inflict confusion on itself? Is that effect nullified, or does the confusion chance reset?

    Question Box

    Refs, what kind of scale do you use when determining the max number of Double Team clones a Pokémon can produce? And what exactly is "average speed" for a Pokémon? Also, does the accuracy roll for a move precede the roll to see if a move hits a clone or not?

    Question Box

    Can Avalanche be used as a conditional (i.e. "If you are attacked, use Avalanche") or is it a move that requires a full turn to charge, like Focus Punch?

    Question Box

    I have a few questions about Rest. Can a Pokemon be commanded to use Rest, and then use Snore/Sleep Talk for the other two actions until it wakes up? Is any damage taken while using Rest recovered as well? Can a Pokemon be commanded to Chill while resting? Can Rest be used while in the...

    Question Box

    If a Pokémon uses a move like Bide, Counter, or Metal Burst, and the damage it received was capped, does the damage returned and its corresponding energy depend on the capped damage, or the damage it would have done if there were no caps? See here.
