    Question Box

    Not sure if this is has been asked before, so apologies if it has. Can a Pokemon be ordered to target a specific limb (such as, Rock Smash on the leg, Ice beam the arm) to try to limit the foe's mobility? Iirc the anime has had Pokemon with injured limbs have a harder time performing, but I'm...

    Question Box

    I mean, it's essentially the same as ordering Metronome. Sure it can be hella good, but there's also a whole lot of moves that would really suck. The only difference being a more limited pool of moves

    Question Box

    Was there ever any official changes from the balance thread? I know there was a lot of talk about Protean and Contrary (and moody I think?) but I don't know if anything was ever actually decided upon

    Question Box

    I know there's a list, but in the old league it Sheer Force was random. Does it still affect the items and abilities it does in game? (And in the case of Life Orb, do the boosts stack like they do?)

    Question Box

    Does Sheer Force negate Life Orb this time around? There was a (slightly confusing) discussion last league about it, and the results were a little murky. (Including negating 100% effects like Rock Tomb's speed drop, and not Life Orb's recoil when used on a boosted move, and the opposite happens...

    Question Box

    If a pokemon was in the down stage of Dive and was staying there, could it use moves against it's opponents if they were moves that were ranged or projectiles, such as Twister/Sludge Bomb/Water Pulse? Could an aquatic Pokemon use Double Team or make a Substitute down there?

    Question Box

    does power-up punch still give the +1 if: It hits a sub It breaks a double team clone It hits but does no damage because of a damage cap

    Question Box

    Do moves like Hex/Venoshoch/Wake-Up Slap/Smellingsalts still do double damage if the target has the right status but is behind a substitute? I figured it would but also thought the sub itself doesn't have the condition so I wasn't sure

    Question Box

    I'd say at least a full round (or three actions, in case of not first action) like if you get it action 1 round one you can;t drop till at least action one round 2

    Question Box

    probably an oversight? I don't think it was ever decided that that's how it should be

    Question Box

    I would assume Water because Soak changes your type completely in flavor, and camouflage is just like a masking
  12. Wargle

    Question Box

    I think it was asked earlier, but it'd be 75. Damage caps are not relative, they're fixed

    Question Box

    Could you use Storm Throw/Frost Breath on an ally to get Anger Point active?

    Question Box

    Stupid question time, does that only apply to enemies? or could you finish off a team mate to get exp or a boost from Moxie or Retaliate
  15. Wargle

    Question Box

    Based on flavor, I would say worry seed makes more sense than activating your own Poison Feal or Flash Fire or whatever, but mechanically I guess it's about the same so probably no. In line with this, could you hit yourself with Soak? Or the move that adds Grass Type (Forest's Curse I think)

    You know, it'd be nice if there was a general consensus among sites on how things work >.>

    Question Box

    I noticed that both Serebii and Bulbapedia (as well as Showdown) have no mention on whether Telekinesis or Snatch is blocked by substitute. They're not on the Bulbapedia list of moves blocked by substitute, so I'm guessing they work as normal? Though snatch is not blocked by protect/king's...

    Question Box

    But he asked if each person's Smeargle would have a list of sketch'ed moves, or if this is something the trainer has to keep track of. I think. If that wasn't what he meant, I'll ask it
  19. Wargle

    Question Box

    Follow-up, the database just has Sketch as it's moves. Is this because it was ripped and those extra moves weren't added, or has that been ixnay'ed?

    I feel like the drop your item then recycle tactic has the potential for serioud abuse though, if it's a one use item like a berry or gem or weakness policy etc
