    Does No Guard (and Mind Reader, Lock-On) still grant a chance to hit through Protect? I know this was removed after Diamond and Pearl but I think it's a neat effect and would like to see it, personally.

    Question Box

    The issue is that Marlboro was never over the water in the first place, so the Heat Wave and Protect conditionals are both moot by my reckoning. She was told to Fire Spin specifically "if Marlboro isn't already over the water" ie. do it before he gets over the water and Hydro Pumps you. I claim...

    Question Box

    Two-stage question: If a Pokémon which has two abilities for whatever reason (ex. holding Magmarizer or Whipped Dream) uses Skill Swap, does she give her target both abilities, or just her natural ability? If she does transfer both abilities, and the unnatural one is Traced (ie she is holding...

    Does Pressure multiply the base energy cost of moves targeting it, or the final cost? Items that have been picked up remain held though, right?

    Question Box

    If a a Pokemon transforms into a Pokemon with a signature move/attribute, is the move/attribute copied as well?

    Question Box

    I think LotF's question was more "what happens if a Pokémon uses Hidden Power while holding a plate, then loses it", and I think the answer would be that Hidden Power's type gets randomised.

    Question Box

    If a Pokemon with Unburden has its speed reduced one stage, is it (S_base - 10) * 2 or S_base * 2 - 10? Hypothetical, and for balance purposes I would think it's the former, but I wanted to be sure.

    A type immunity is a type immunity. The ref can come up with whatever flavor shenanigans they like, but it wouldn't do damage.

    Question Box

    Helping Hand's energy cost is listed as variable, but there's no indication of how it's calculated in the database or in D&E.

    Question Box

    I tend to think of it as rounding down the boost, not the damage itself, so the proper method for me would be "1% for every 4 exp." If you want to give a fractional boost though, I'm sure the difference would be so small nobody'd complain.

    Question Box

    I believe so, and dont think it would take a whole action... Conversion might be a different story though, for flavor reasons and the fact that it's much more broad in terms of types it can copy.

    Question Box

    The consensus, earlier in the thread, was "not at all." Commanding what amounts to "just don't let it affect you" isn't creative.

    Question Box

    I'm like 80% sure it doubles for Sub damage, yes. And Veekun's description says it has to have taken damage from the target and the target has to have been the last pokemon to have damaged the user.

    Question Box

    Transform is a self-targeting move, so yes. More importantly: does quick powder work on Ditto after they transform?

    Question Box

    They're listed as physical and special moves, so I would think so. imo they need a nerf anyway but I don't feel strongly enough to argue about it.

    Can Magic Coat only reflect attacks to their user, or could it target someone else? asking for a friend

    yes, no.

    there is; see surskitty v. zhorken. it does prevent other types of recoil, however.
