Things in the Games You Want to Try

[Ice Car]

Um, no. The item must be consumed by the ally or foe, and the item Flung must target the Pokemon with Pickup.

EDIT: I suppose you could steal the Berry infinitely in Doubles or Triples if you pair the Pickup Pokemo with a Harvest Pokemon, though.

You know EVERYTHING don't you...?

Hahaha! K so, you know how Pokemon with regenerator heal when switched out? what if a pkmn was heal blocked, and then they used baton pass and put in a pokemon without full HP and that pkmn's ability was regenerator. would it gain HP?

Heal Block only applies to moves, items, and specific draining and absorption Abilities. Regenerator's functionality is unaffected by Heal Block.

Baton Pass doesn't Pass Heal Block anyway, so it's irrelevant.

Ah. Didn't see the "at" part in "any item Flung at the Pokemon with the Ability". Makes sense. It seems the game designers thought that through, which is very nice.

So far I want to try the simple stuff and see how I do with that(like discharge and volt asorb,surf and water absorb,Lava plume and flash fire,Etc.)

I wonder how Acrobatics work with Technician. While holding an item, Acrobatics is at base 55, therefore Technician boost applies. But when held item is gone, Acrobatics become power 110. But does it still take Technician boost since its base power value is still 55? So the question would be... where does the x2 boost for Acrobatics come in? Before the x1.5 boost of Technician, or after?

If Acrobatics doesn't take Technician boost after its power up, then does this mean that Eruption and Water Spout don't take Technician boost when the power falls below 60?

Quash+Quick claw? What if quick claw activates only to get tricked for lagging tail the same turn?

Because item-less Acrobatics has an effective base power of 110, Technician will not activate. It will activate, however, if Acrobatics is used while holding an item, as its base power will be 55.

If Acrobatics doesn't take Technician boost after its power up, then does this mean that Eruption and Water Spout don't take Technician boost when the power falls below 60?

Moves of variable power are only affected by Technician if their base power is 60 or below. Eruption and Water Spout will be boosted if their power falls to that threshold.

Quash+Quick claw?

It depends on the move being used with Quick Claw. Because Quick Claw moves the user to the top of its priority bracket, moves with a priority of 0 or higher will be performed before Quash. Moves with a priority of -1 or less, however, would be Quashed.

What if quick claw activates only to get tricked for lagging tail the same turn?

The Quick Claw holder acts, and then has its item Tricked away. The former Quick Claw holder now holds a Lagging Tail, and the former Lagging Tail holder now holds a Quick Claw.

I wish I tried to catch White Kyuurem in my W2 game, which I didn't XD All I did was SR for fun and fought it with my Axew 3 times and Axew was the bomb... though wish I did try to catch it XD nya~

I tried to use a Pokeball when I was fighting Black Kyurem thinking Ghetsis was a liar, but a message popped up saying I can't catch it.

[Kyro13]

^Um... Yeah.

Anyways, Erm, I don't know if this counts, but what would physically happen to a Gorebyss using Shell Smash? I mean.. Its only shells are in the form of a bikini.

^Um... Yeah.

I'm going to ignore that gibberish. Given how it has links to a site, I have to assume it's some kind of spam. Or something. I don't know.

For that Gorebyss... The point of this thread is to discuss things in the game and how various mechanics may overlap, not how something would work in-universe. I'm sure there's a different thread for that. Game wise, if a Gorebyss used Shell Smash, its Def and Sp. Def would fall by 1 stage and Atk, Sp. Atk, and Spd will rise by 2.

The purpose of this thread is to ask and receive answers to questions like...
"What happens if something with Simple used Curse? Does the game say "Speed harshly fell" to apply the x2 of Simple? Does it replay the same message? Or does it say the same message but means double? If the first is true, then what about for Amnesia? The game uses "X rose" for +1, "X sharply rose" for +2, and "X drastically rose" for +3, but there is nothing for +4." etc.

What would happen if Jolteon uses Thunder on a Pokemon who Mirror Coats it back, would Volt Absorb activate?

[Elysian]

If you use Torment on Unown or some other pokemon wit 1 move.. Does it use struggle? or does Torment fail=?

[Azran Flame]

If you use Torment on Unown or some other pokemon wit 1 move.. Does it use struggle? or does Torment fail=?

I think it uses Struggle instead, considering all the other examples that have been mentioned on this thread.

What would happen if Jolteon uses Thunder on a Pokemon who Mirror Coats it back, would Volt Absorb activate?

Mirror Coat is a Psychic type move, so Jolteon would still get damaged. Similarly, Counter is a Fighting type move, so if Jolteon was to use... say, Thunder Fang, it would still get damaged by the Counter. This also means that Ghost/Dark types are completely immune to Wobuffet because neither Counter nor Mirror Coat has any effect on them.

[Brownie]

I guess Wobbuffet fears Spiritomb and Sableye?

"What happens if something with Simple used Curse? Does the game say "Speed harshly fell" to apply the x2 of Simple? Does it replay the same message? Or does it say the same message but means double?

The stat falls by two stages, so the message "[Pokémon]'s Speed harshly fell!" would be displayed.

This does not apply in Generation 4, however; because in Generation 4, Simple only affected the effect of the stat change, not the stat change itself, the message displayed would be "[Pokémon]'s Speed fell!"

If the first is true, then what about for Amnesia? The game uses "X rose" for +1, "X sharply rose" for +2, and "X drastically rose" for +3, but there is nothing for +4." etc.

If a Pokemon's stat rises by more than 3 stages at once, the message "[Pokémon]'s [stat] rose drastically!" would still be displayed.

What would happen if Jolteon uses Thunder on a Pokemon who Mirror Coats it back, would Volt Absorb activate?

Mirror Coat only inflicts damage. Because the other Pokemon is not using an Electric-type move, Volt Absorb does not activate.

If you use Torment on Unown or some other pokemon wit 1 move.. Does it use struggle? or does Torment fail=?

A Pokemon without usable moves will use Struggle.
