While affected by Encore a Pokemon still has the option to use its Z-move even if its base move was the move that was Encored. (OmegaDonut)
If anything, this opens up more options... You can run Psychic Z item + Psyhock and have a move to hit physical and special defense in one slot.
Also, to not derail the thread: Has anyone checked if Wide Guard stops status moves as well now?
does the effect of Encore wear off after using the Z move?
A wild Drampa just put my Golisopod below 50% twice. Nothing happened.
Was it above 50% before that? I heard it only works when you are above 50%.
Could you specify the situation where this happened?
So. If you have Prankster and use Z-Mirror Move, Z-Me First, Z-Copycat, Z-Nature Power, etc., are Dark-types still immune to the attack?
OP says Hidden Power always calls Breakneck Blitz (the Normal-type Z-Move), regardless of Hidden Power's type.
Did it already activate Emergency Exit during the battle? Serebii says Emergency Exit only activates once per battle.
sorry to bother with this again but i am really eager to know- do we have 100% confirmation of the -ate abilites being nerfed to 20%??
I was fighting a wild female Drampa with my False Swipe Golisopod. The Golisopod was above 50% and the Drampa was at 1HP. I was waiting for the female Drampa to call help, because I wanted to catch a male one.
Pretty sure the Drampa was at +1 because of its Ability. It used Dragon Pulse on my Golisopod and took me down to just above red from above 50%. I used Full Restore. A few turns later it took me down to below 50% again. Emergency Exit never activated.
My Golisopod had a far higher level.
No it didn't. If it would have, then the wild battle would have automatically ended.
See, I recall reading that it needed to be a hit that 1) Took you below 50% AND 2) Did more than 50% damage (hence "sensing danger") but I saw it listed as a Wimp Out clone in here so disregarded it. I suppose that would warrant some testing?
bumping :v
Does Mold Breaker ignore Full Metal Body, Shadow Shield, and Prism Armor? Do all 3 of those abilities (and Beast Boost while we're at it) interact normally with Trace and ability-affecting moves like Skill Swap?
Does Moongeist Beam ignore Prism Armor?
I would be really surprised if they're hiding all these secrets in Water Bubble, Prankster, etc. and then it turns out all 4 of these really are just Clear Body/Multiscale/Moxie/Filter clones.

Three things I think are likely here:
-Emergency Exit doesn't work in wild battles, only trainer battles
-Emergency Exit doesn't work against pokemon of a much lower level
-Emergency Exit doesn't work if the opposing pokemon has low HP
Set-up a test to see if any of these are true.
This is 100% wrong. It works and ends the wild battle. I have actually seen this happen.
This is possible.
I've seen Emergency Exit trigger against 1HP Pokemon before while trying to chain. At least I'm pretty sure I did.
So in a wild Pokémon battle, Emergency Exit makes you flee the battle, rather than switching to another Pokémon in your roster? Or did you only have the Golisopod in your party?
