General question(s): regarding game mechanics.

[Felidire]

I'm not sure where I should post this, it doesn't really seem to fit anywhere else, not even the Competitive Battling section. This would probably be a good idea for a sticky if others come across the same problems, and if there is a sticky, i'd appreciate it if someone could point it out for me.

Anyways, when I brainstorm my ideas for my competitive teams, I come across all sorts off weird questions(which obviously i'm unable to answer). My question of the now, is: Would anyone happen to know if the item focus sash is re-usable(in one single match) after a pokemon gets hit down to 1hp, and then heals back up to 100%?

Is the item:
A. Re-usable - (Item remains held by the pokemon and can be re-used).
B. One use only - (Item remains held by the pokemon after use, but cannot be re-used).
C. Expendable - (Item is consumed after use & then disappears completely (leaving the pokemon with no held item)).

My guess is A. but I welcome the help

C. is the correct answer here, meaning Shedinja won't be able to abuse the Sash.

Thanks for the info, I tested if it was reusable just now and you're right. Would you happen to know if it's usable after taking say 10% damage and then healing back to full?

Actually I was entertaining the noition of: taking a hit(down to 1%), effectively using the sash, then trick-passing over a useless item, all on the same turn.

Which brings me two more questions..
1. Is "Trick" usable if your pokemon holds no item?
2. Does a berry (salac, for instance) activate once received (via trick) when your pokemon is already below 25% health?

If anyone knows the answer to those, ty. <3

Yes; so long as the item has not been used up and the pokémon was at 100%, whether or not its health was lower before, it can use the sash.

1. Is "Trick" usable if your pokemon holds no item?

Yes and yes.

 

[Felidire]

Yes and yes.

k, thanks~

Would anyone happen to know if you get hit by a perish song and you baton pass it to Mr.mime, would the mime die at the end of the 3 turns?

 

[Negrek]

I don't think it does.

 

[Felidire]

Someone else reckons it would, I don't know either so I might test it in like a week or so. In the case of Sucker Punch vs Fake Out, would you happen to know which is executed first? Or if it's based on the pokemon's speed.

I come across so many damn questions, rofl.

It's based on speed because those attacks have the same priority.
