Battling 101: Stary02939 vs Tutor tavok

[tavok]

When a Pokémon faits, two things can happend:
- If the player whose Pokémon fainted still has Pokémom left, the action completes and then the round is over.
- If the player whose Pokémon fainted does NOT have any Pokémom left, no more moves are executed and one last batch of end of action and round effects happen before the battle is over.

KO Subs are used in the first case, since otherwise you could waste EN targetting a fainted mon.

For example, let's say a Cyclohm is fighting an almost dead Kitsunoh. Seeing it can't do much, the Kitsunoh uses Memento, fainting before Cyclohm moves. If the Cyclohm's owner did not write any KO subs, then Cyclohm would attack the dead Kitsunoh before the action (and round) ends, wasting EN.

Ok. If the pokemon was KO'd with a combo A1 or A2, would the cooldown happen that round or the following round?

Extrasensory - Shadow Ball - Extrasensory

IF Torment THEN Protect and push actions back.

"As I said in IRC, the Pokémon has to cooldown next round. Otherwise, you could KO someone with a combo and then suffer no penalty from the cooldown.

Regarding your sub, a couple things about it:
1.- Torment really wasn't the biggest of your problems this round. What you really wanted was avoiding a goodbye combo like the one I'm using.

2.- When using Protect in a sub, make sure you specify to only do so once in a row: otherwise, your opponent can use the move twice in a row and hit while your second protect fails."​

"And it's over!

It was a pretty good game, I must say. Specially considering this was your first battle. You really have what is needed to be a good ASB player.

I hope you enjoyed this battle and wish to stay with us for a lot longer. It's always great to have more people in the community.

More comments via PM :) "​
