This is hilarious. Love the idea of Curse/Sleep Talk-Rest pokes getting punked by this - those are some of the most annoying pokes in the Subway. You must have laughed your ass off watching this!

It goes to show that the AI has a real blind spot with certain abilities. The AI regularly targets Dry Skin Toxicroak with Water attacks, like it doesn't know that it's immune to them (presumably Storm Drainers and Water Absorbers as well, and probably Lightningrod too (not on Ground-types though)).

And if a hacked Durant Entrains Truant onto something, you can alternate Protect and setup with impunity. Changing the AI's ability does not cause it to switch in the same way as a Choice lock into a non-damaging move now can, I guess because it doesn't 'know' it's happened.
