I'm giving 48 hours before I implement these changes. As a reminder Beebos and Eeveeto can replace their codes during this time as well.

Two unfortunate rejections due to coding trouble: Beebos 's team code SPIKES: Spikes is the name of the condition Spikes. This code existing in the current way codes are implemented overwrites the side condition, making it impossible to use. Being able to make this work would require an entire...

People use that time to... actually think. It's been proven many times that LLMs are awful at making game sense decisions, especially in something like Pokemon where there is no objective "best move", but the topic of botting in battles has been done to death, so I'm not elaborating further...

This is caused by lag. Your cancel was not received by the server in time to actually cancel the action, but your next action was also delayed enough it was treated as a decision for the following turn.

Protect has a mechanic where when used consecutively, it will have an increasing chance to fail (1/X, where X triples each successful use until it fails or another move is used). In terms of Close Combat failing: |move|p2a: Pinsir|Close Combat|p2: Rillaboom|[notarget] |-fail|p2a: Pinsir The...
