I was in the middle of typing a post arguing against this (I didn't think the sequence would work with the priority), but midway through typing it struck me that it probably does work this way:
Golbat used Protect!
Pikachu used Gigavolt Havoc!
Golbat couldn't fully protect itself and got hurt!
*Golbat takes damage as normal*
So yes, I agree with this theory now. Or at least there may be certain specific Z-moves that have this effect.
What if its a different Protect nerf. Right now, using protect protects you from all offensive attacks for a full turn right?
Well gamefreak's always eyed double battles. What if protect only fully protects from the first hit, but subsequent attacks still deal damage. Likely partial damage since i think otherwise it'd be too much of a nerf

Then is it also possible that Protect reduces the damage but doesn't entirely stop the attack? Hence "fully protect"?
It seems confusion has been nerfed, and now there is a 33% of hitting yourself instead the 50% of before.
Still not confirmed.

Honestly, it looks like a hybridization. The portal we see UB-01 come though in the trailer looks like the designs on the ball itself, and the gold parts on the ball - almost "containing the portal" - look like the Solgaleo and Lunala adornments. Maybe the ball is somehow utilizing the power of the box legend to contain the Ultras? Maybe... just maybe... it involves alchemy...? You know, the theme of the generation...? That's my interpretation of it.
I'm just mad we can't call it an Ultra Ball........
I'm 99% convinced that this is caused by a Pokemon attempting to block a Z-Move with Protect. With the whole cinematics that go along with it, I don't think something as mundane as Protect should be able to block it completely. It makes perfect sense to me.
Agreed, but I'm just saying that reducing the damage would've been more meaningful and tangible than simply "reducing" the RNG because in the end you're still rolling a dice, just like you did before.
This could be the Tortunator move thing. Have we seen it fail? If it doesn't work does it backfire?
Um, excuse me?
As much as I'd like that to be Fire Terrain, and it still possibly could be, I think that's just when Fire Pledge and Grass Pledge mix.
thats the text from the fire grass pledge combo which creates a sea of fire. potentially a fire terrain may also create of a sea of fire if it exists?
Interesting, never knew that. I've never used the pledge combos. Thanks!
I remember the theorizing over the deities getting terrain abilities and thinking that the pledge's sea of fire would make perfect sense for a Fiery Terrain
Honestly so would the other 2 variants
- [VAR PKNICK(0000)] became trapped by the quicksand!
- The wild [VAR PKNICK(0000)] became trapped by the quicksand!
- The opposing [VAR PKNICK(0000)] became trapped by the quicksand!
- Totem [VAR PKNICK(0000)] became trapped by the quicksand!
- [VAR PKNICK(0000)] got over its infatuation.
- The wild [VAR PKNICK(0000)] got over its infatuation.
The opposing [VAR PKNICK(0000)] got over its infatuation.
Totem [VAR PKNICK(0000)] got over its infatuation.
Guess Pallosand has a signature move then.

It's currently possible to intentionally draw. But it doesn't have any text like that. Just the Win/Lose/Draw animation/screen at the end.
I think that the quicksand thing is Sand Tomb. The text is right after the text for Bind, Wrap, Clamp, Whirlpool, Fire Spin, and Magma Storm. The old text was "became trapped by Sand Tomb" which is not present in this text dump. Also, the move's description in RSE (when it was introduced) described it as quicksand before they changed it to a sandstorm in later games. They're probably just redesigning it in this game (which would also fit with the other theory of big move revamps like Leech Life).
I think it has more to do to when you try to attack an opponent in a Double Battle that has been defeated in that same turn, making the move miss.
Hi everyone! I'm a regular at the GameFAQs Pokemon Sun board, and i went through both the text dump and strings/references dump. Thought id help out here as well. Please feel free to view it.
