ASB Rules

[1. Luftballon]

well, if you knock it out, you've won before yours faints.

 

[Negrek]

Here's the battle. Bought her at the black market

She probably doesn't have any happiness, sorry.

If perish song is about to activate at the end of the current round, can you avoid its effect if you knock out your opponent's last Pokémon before the round ends?

yeah ok this is probably obvious but i'm being overly cautious as usual

Yes, and if you happen to do so, you of course win.

Can you combine two attacks from two different pokemon in a double battle, like one using quick attack, the other one using flamethrower to light it on fire?

 

[Music Dragon]

Presumably, but only if the attacks in question make sense to combine. You can't really light Quick Attack on fire by using Flamethrower on it; you'd just end up burning your partner.

 

[Blastoise Fortooate]

Also, I would assume that both of your pokémon would have to move at the same time, which means that the faster one would have to wait for the slower one unless they were the same speed.

 

[The Omskivar]

If I'm reffing a battle in which it is the first for both participants, do I get $30 when the match is over or a flat $15?

 

[1. Luftballon]

flat 15, as noted previously in ref hq thread.

 

[Wargle]

Can a normal Pokémon use Dream World moves? e.g.: Seed bomb Phanpy, or Earth Power Sunkern?

For that matter what about Gen 2 only breeding moves, like a Water Gun Phanpy?

 

[The Omskivar]

Gen 2 only breeding moves are okay. Phanpy and Sunkern could learn those moves through HGSS move tutor.

If I'm not mistaken I don't think there are any legitimate "Dream World exclusive" moves, just ones that were retired as TMs or former Move Tutors.

 

[Wargle]

I dont think there was ever a tutor that gave Sunkern Earth Power, and couldn't have been one to give Phanpy Heavy Slam

 

[The Omskivar]

My mistake, the move tutor was only applicable to Sunflora. Phanpy however gets Heavy Slam by breeding.

 

[Mai]

Regardless, I believe the rule is a pokemon can use any move it gets legally. Even Dream World moves.

 

[Wargle]

But a normal Chlorophyll Sunkern can't legally get earth Power, only the DW Early Bird Sunkern.

 

[Coloursfall]

It can use it in ASB. You can use ANY MOVE in ASB, really. This list for teecod ASB movepool changes even lists DW attacks. ANY MOVE. For real and for true.

 

[1. Luftballon]

legally, a pokémon with an ability can't also use gen 1 tm moves.

that's not stopping anyone, though. well, except maybe zackrai with his muk.

 

[The Omskivar]

neg even told Squorn that she could use Staryu's impossible Crystal Egg Moves. Which means logically Head Smash Nosepass should work too!

 

[Chief Zackrai]

So... do your pokemon gain one xp for each pokemon they fight, assuming they don't ko any of them?

As in, if I have a pokemon that is in a battle with three other pokemon at once, does he gain one xp or three?

It's one point for being sent out -- regardless of how many other Pokémon are on the field -- and one more for each knockout.

 

[Lord of the Fireflies]

Well, not since Negrek tweaked the system in a way exp given in doubles or triples is quite unpredictable.

 

[Negrek]

How is it unpredictable?
