Engineer Pikachu
Good morning, you bastards!
I'd like to help tutor refs if possible.
This is true and, iirc, was made true at the same time as the Dodge command was codified. The only moves that can be used evasively now are Agility, moves like Dig and Fly, and any that specifically have dodging rules written in their descriptions.Is it true that priority moves can no longer be used for evasion? If so, where can I find this information? (This is relevant to one of the matches I'm reffing.)
Yes to the first one.I was just looking at a Scizor that someone has, and I was looking at its ability's. Let's say that all three of its abilities are activated (Swarm, Technician and Light Metal), and it uses Bug Bite (6 Base Power). Which of these abilities would boost it? They all have to do with base power, and I'm not sure how they play into each other. I think it would have 11 Base Power ([6*1.5]+2) and normal priority, but I'm not sure.
What if it uses Pursuit (4 Base Power) and Technician and Light Metal are activated. Does that mean that it has 6 Base Power with +1 priority?
I think this was intended for Scizor, yes, if it maintains 6 (or less) BP it has +1 priority, if it has 7 (or more) it's normal priorityadding +1 priority to all their attacks with 6 or less Base Attack Power (after other ability adjustments).
Engineer Pikachu and Gerard have it correctly. I added a sentence to Technician to clarify this: "Because Technician is a multiplier on single hit moves, its effect is applied to Base Attack Power before any additive effects."I was just looking at a Scizor that someone has, and I was looking at its ability's.
