You can't legally have a Pokemon with no moves, but if you have an Assault Vest and nothing but status moves, or if your only move is Belch or Stuff Cheeks, none of the moves are selectable so you get to use Struggle right away. I actually have a Pokemon that puts this to good use in a specific...

There are 2 weekends left in the year after this. They could still do a Christmas event, but with Iron Bundle 7-star and Delibird outbreaks both already accounted for, there's not much that would make sense other than reruns of one or both. H-Goodra would neatly use up both weekends if they...

Stadium gifts, PBR, Colosseum Bonus Disc, Dream Radar, ORAS/SM demos... https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_game-based_Pok%C3%A9mon_distributions_in_Generation_III and similar pages (for other generations) document those kind of things.

25% on a 35x health bar means Life Dew would heal less than 1% of its actual HP supply, which is amazingly irrelevant. You can see this on the event Blissey raids that use Softboiled late in the health bar; each use recovers only 2.5% of its HP (possibly up to 10% if it goes for Softboiled in...

Covert Cloak Bellibolt should be a solid choice to ignore whatever side effects it might throw out. Even if Goodra comes with Earthquake for coverage, it's not that threatening with it.

If the difference between the super effective move and the next best option is more than a 2:1 margin, then even after the berry reduction it still stands out as the more powerful move, and the berry doesn't fool anyone. Here we have Earth Power for 90, type 180, berry back to 90; while Dark...

Raid script is up: https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/teraraidbattles/event-mightyhydreigon.shtml Earth Power but no fire coverage, and two scripted Nasty Plots plus a late Dragon Dance that's only helpful if Tera Blast has turned physical. Malamar works well on this raid--as abysmal as its...

It's known that if you set the win streak to 9998, winning that battle advances to 9999, but winning again just says "Next is Battle No. 9999" and you can't make any further progress. If you set the win streak beyond that, say to 10000, it shows up in record lists as "?000" and winning a battle...

Judging by other variable names, the "Per" in the name is short for "Percent".

Since Skarmory isn't available until late, that slot was used for rotating ad-hoc filler beforehand, often making up for things like Kirlia's thorough fragility or Litleo's having to stay unevolved all the way until 35. Once everyone got going, Meganium and Gardevoir did most of the rogue mega...

I've had a Super Fang deal 43 damage against 125 HP, which is consistent with there being a 70% multiplier on the "correct" figure of 62 (so in effect it deals 35% of the target's remaining HP).

Sharing will mainly be used by players with multiple accounts, to migrate cards over to their main and fill in the gaps in their collection. This is why it's throttled to once per day and it can't be used to share the big hits (immersive/crown), otherwise sockpuppeting would be too easy.

Effect Sequence is a holdover from previous games, where each number corresponds to a different move effect--mostly for the purpose of letting trainer AI have special routines that guide it on the (approximately) correct way to value each type of move. They go up to over 400, so 103 (which has...
