I was having a battle in an AAA tournament one time, and after I defeated the opponents Infernape, he told me that he had Magnet Pull on his Infernape.
The thing is when he switched in his Infernape on my Cobalion I could just switch out when Magnet Pull clearly states ''Prevents Steel-type Pokemon from switching. ''.
But then later in the battle he switched in his Infernape on my Entei, but the weird thing is that this time I couldn't switch out my Entei.
So this means that in AAA Magnet Pull prevents pokemon of the same type from switching out, but this doesn't make any sense either, since Magnezone can't prevent Electric type pokemon from switching out. This could possibly be a glitch or bug, so I thought I should report it.
do you have a replay? ive used magnet pull raikou and it worked fine for trapping steel types. Are you sure an ability suppressing move or shed bell (or w/e it is that lets you escape traps) wasnt used?
