Protect still works, yes.

TheWolfe · May 9th, 2012, 10:22:53 PM

If a Pokemon uses Fire Spin, can it still use other Fire moves, like Ember and Flamethrower? Thanks. :]

If used evasively, the Pokemon does not gain any other benefits. This move fails if used successively, or after Protect, Detect, Agility (Evasive), or the Dodge Command.
2. Teleport (Switch)
[Switch = KO], Teleport can be used to briefly return to a Pokeball and reappear, resetting all of the Pokemon's stat changes and snaps it out of temporary status as well as other effects like Disable, Taunt, and Torment.
[Switch=OK], In a switch battle, the Teleport user is sent back to its trainer's Poke Ball at the end of the round. The Pokemon that is switched in to replace the user is chosen by the player from their remaining Pokemon, however the trainer that commanded Teleport must attack first. A Pokemon switched out with Teleport can switch without initiating a Switch Phase, but only Pokemon that used Teleport, U-turn or Volt Switch can be swapped out.

Attack Power: -- | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 7 | Attack Type: Other | Effect Chance: -- | Contact: No | Typing: Psychic | Priority: +1 Evasive Action, 0 Switch Effect | CT: Passive

Can Teleport Switch be used while Taunted?

Leethoof · May 12th, 2012, 12:00:01 AM

Nope

Lord Jesseus · May 12th, 2012, 12:02:27 AM

Unless you combo it with an attacking move.

The part of the description about Taunt is most likely a copypaste articfact from u-Turn and friends.

I have a question regarding the ability, Imposter.

I am battling in the library of abilities arena and the rules require 2 abilities to be RNG'd in NFE mons. My Scyther has Imposter as one of his abilities (The other is Minus). In this case, can I chose to not activate Imposter if I want?

I am highly confused here!! Please help before I go nuts D:

So I just read the newest update on Combos...

Does this include same-attack combos, too?

Leethoof · May 14th, 2012, 8:55:41 PM

Nope.

Wasn't sure where else to put this, but I'm coming trying to log into the IRC channel through mibbit and im getting an error message saying I need to register an account for the channel. SynIRC #capasb. Anyway I can do this? or is the channel down?

LouisCyphre · May 15th, 2012, 5:01:28 PM

It's not down. You need to register your name in order to join, to prove you're not a bot.

Type /help in to whatever client you're using.

When I search for #capasb, nothing comes up.
When I forcibly join it, it's as if I'm creating that chatroom.
I registered as a nick, (though the /help menu was rather useless), but even using /identify to log in doesn't resolve the issue.
Little help? (I'm using Mibbit)

EDIT: I've connected to #capasb through Mibbit before, but I'll try SynIRC.

LouisCyphre · May 15th, 2012, 5:15:56 PM

Join the right sever. #capasb is found on SynIRC.

Can you snatch a taunt?
What about a toxic?

Gerard · May 15th, 2012, 7:51:09 PM

No, since neither is a self boosting or recovery move

Glacier Knight · May 15th, 2012, 9:32:35 PM

two questions:

1) If a pokemon is holding a toxic orb, and they are sent out, when are they poisoned? before i do a1? and the end of the round? how will that work?

2) If there is a "If flamethrower, then blahblahblah" sub, does a Flamethrower+Flamethrower combo activate that sub?

C$FP · May 15th, 2012, 9:36:23 PM

1) I'm pretty sure it's just at the end of the round if it isn't already inflicted with Poison. (DAT description: "At the end of each round, the Pokemon is inflicted with bad poison.")

2) Yes, if you make a sub for a move, combos involving that move activate the sub.

Yarnus of Bethany · May 17th, 2012, 10:27:22 PM

If you use Substitute and then U-turn in a switch =KO battle, do you just lose the HP you put into the Substitute?

waterwarrior · May 17th, 2012, 10:39:17 PM

Just like in-game, you don't get anything back. The HP doesn't go back, and you lose your sub. Case in point, don't use U-Turn/ Volt Switch while behind a Sub.

I'm a bit confused here. Does it only reflect the most recent physical attack, or all attacks from that action. Also, do you specify who you target?

waterwarrior · May 18th, 2012, 11:31:20 PM

Counter is calculated with all the physically-based damage taken before Counter is used that action, even if the damage came from an ally. Also, yes, you must specify who Counter is being used against.

Also, Focus Punch expends EN even if it fails due to taking damage, right?

Incorrect. Counter will always hit the last Pokemon to deal Physical Damage to the user. And yes, Focus Punch uses Energy even if it fails.

Engineer Pikachu · May 19th, 2012, 12:23:17 AM

Actually, as far as I can tell, Counter only reflects damage based on the last physical attack that hit it; while Bulbapedia's pages on both Counter and Mirror Coat say nothing about this, Metal Burst's description says it reflects the last attack, not all of them. iirc the only attack that reflects based on all damage is Bide, and I'd say that Counter is more similar to Metal Burst than Bide.

Complications · May 19th, 2012, 10:38:36 AM

Is there a final say I can get on this? I've seen four variations of the move counter and I want to be concise as possible.

Also, easier question. Are Accuracy drops and boosts calculated in the same format as stats such as Atk and Def, and if not, could someone please explain how? It doesn't clearly say in the Data Audit thread.
