With discussion from here, Council shall vote on aspects of Protect combos.
Protect (CT: Passive) said:
The Pokemon erects a barrier that prevents any move that targets the user from taking effect for the turn it is used in. Attacks will not miss when used on the Pokemon but will not have any effect. Attacks targetting the field will succeed as normal. This move fails if used on successive actions, or after Detect, Agility (Evasive), Teleport (Evasive), or the Dodge Command. In a multi-battle, Protect may be shifted to an ally, but it then has zero (0) priority and uses the target's typing, defenses, and stage boosts for purposes of calculating extra energy cost.

The slate will be divided into a two or three part vote, first part as follows:

Should Protect combos be outlawed?
Yes (CT: None)
No (keep as is)

Tag time. Its_A_Random / Dogfish44 / Rainman Legends / Avnomke
 
No (keep as is)

There are only a cluster of moves that combine well (The barrier moves), I have no problem with them as it stands.
 
Yeah that will be done.

Obviously majority has been reached, so...

Should Protect combos extend Protect's effect to the whole allied team?
Yes (whole team)
No (combo user only)

Any combos retain all properties and drawbacks from component moves. This means Sucker Punch fail if the target does not use damaging attacks, Protect + Reflect/Light Screen can be broken by both Feint and Brick Break, etc.
Yes (enforce this ruling)
No (change this ruling)

Fire away?
 
Q1
No (combo user only)

Durr.

Q2
No (change this ruling)

I want to discus this point as a whole seperate discussion/vote to be frank, so yeah.

And call a majority and change the Protect description in the next 10-15 minutes.
