I'm going to shout out the
Dynamax Adventure thread because it has stuff that belong here and stuff that would belong here if they weren't done by real players that might ass well be AIs. (That was a typo, but it works.)
4 Days ago I complained about Speed Swap, and either I misremembered the order or something so stupid happened that remembering it is literally giving me a headache. Swoobat got Trevenant's speed, used Speed Swap on the same Pokemon twice in a row which does nothing, and after that Swoobat gave Trevenaut's Speed to the Ditto that had transformed into Trevenaut... I repeat, Swoobat used Speed Swap to swap speed with a Pokemon with the same speed as it.
Today's complaint, Power Swap... It only changes stat modifications instead of base stats, so the AI says the best time to use it is Turn 1! There wasn't Intimidate or anything else, so... why? Ditto didn't use Power Swap at all when transformed into that Grimmsnarl, but as soon as another AI grabs it? I thought that's odd, but I should start thinking "odd" is a massive red flag for "I'm going to rant in this thread." I'm spamming Baby-Doll Eyes, so the AI thinks it's a really good time to use Power Swap on the opponent! Later, when everyone's attack is back to +0/-0 and then a partner uses Coaching, Power Swap on the opponent! I'd ask, "What are you talking about? My eye isn't twitching." but it's pretty obvious that my eye is twitching, and yes, I am slightly very annoyed.
I really need to take Pokemon with any status moves just so the AI doesn't get them... I'm honestly thinking I'm more competent than the AI even when I spam almost useless moves instead of attacking. At least I know what I'm doing!
Edit: Turn 1, Gloom uses Stun Spore revealing and activating Azumaril's Sap Sipper, Turn 2, Venoshock, Turns 3-10 Stun Spore. WTF? Butterfree spammed Rage Powder every turn except the turn it healed Gloom with Pollen Puff and Drapion spammed Accupressure. That was ONE ATTACK over TEN TURNS and that one attack was just to give false hope for more attacks! I wonder if you can hear my internal screaming...
On the bright side Araquinid's plan of using Entrainment to spread Water Absorb to the team even if the oppenent can't learn any Watter attacks can be usefull against a Water Type Legend!
