Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
well its either that or illuminate which does nothing in battle so no one would ever use it in the metagame and you can see which pokemon have a status effect on the bottom screen when your picking a move so its not much of an assumption
I did follow the rules when i put starmie to sleep you switched it out it has natural cure so when you switch it out the sleep goes away so I can put another pokemon of yours to sleep fool
GG starmie really scared me was it specs? and so did tyranitar except with one dragon dance not fast enough to out speed max base 115s so i guess I kinda lucky it probably could have swept
