psychic terrain interactions are very odd. For example, gale wings talonflame has priority but isn't blocked by the terrain, while fake out at regular priority (fake out + uturn) gets blocked by the terrain. Neither of these should be the case, if I'm understanding the meta correctly...

Now, I'm on the fence for this suspect, and since lots of pro-ban arguments are above, I'd like to give some points for the no-ban argument, specifically usage. There is no denying that weezing, defensive mesprit, and pallosand are really the only switchins to banded passimian (or gorgeist, but...

I would like to reiterate how good Marill is at trapping the tier's biggest walls and letting your sweepers, such as Malamar or Bibarel, win unopposed: Marill @ Eviolite Ability: Sap Sipper EVs: 252 HP / 76 Def / 180 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Whirlpool - Perish Song - Rest -...

This needs to go in the original post under "Not Glitches"

This is a singles, gen 7 glitch involving Emergency Exit by Golisopod. I've been playing a lot of singles, but I crit a golisopod under 50% with my Nidoqueen's Sludge Wave, and it never switched. My opponent had pokemon to switch to and Golisopod was not trapped. It never used its item. This...
