The user has practiced every position on the field and can adapt their type entirely.
Before attempting an attack, unless ordered otherwise this round: Discard any Protean status on the user, then grant the user a unique status until they faint or leave play, with the following effect:
● When this condition is created, note the type or types of the user's currently ordered attack.
● The user is the noted type or types.
>be meIt is intended. We didn't want to "punish" Contrary Pokemon by turning off their set-up moves like Swords Dance.
Shuckle is a fun user of this effect, so give it a try some time!

Munkidori is a
Thief.
Fezandipiti is a
Duelist.
The Loyal Three don't have roles, so instead Munkidori's vocation treats Okidogi as the Aggressor and Fezandipiti as the Supporter.

When an effect of the user lowers another Pokemon's stat stage: Raise a particular ally's same stat stage by one (1) for the same duration, depending on the stat:
- Attack or Special Attack: Raise the stage of the Aggressor.
- Defense or Special Defense: Raise the stage of the Protector.
See above but with Healer.It has come to my attention that Natural Cure cures a lot of things I wouldn't expect it to, such as deleting your Decoys at end of round.
Is this intended?
This wording implies that effects that cause accuracy checks to automatically fail override effects that cause accuracy checks to automatically fail (More specifically, "otherwise" implies that automatic success is not checked if there is an automatic failure effect). However, two game pieces seem to imply the contrary is meant to be true:[8.7] Accuracy Checks said:If the action has an accuracy value, a randomized check must be made to see if the action can affect the current defender. If one or more effects would cause the check to "automatically fail", the check is failed and no roll is made. Otherwise, if one or more effects would cause the check to "automatically succeed", the check is passed and no roll is made.
- The issuing trainer must specify the comparison to be operated: find the greater, greater or equal, lesser, lesser and equal, equality, or inequality
but 2.9 says:To order otherwise, simply include a phrase similar to "Do not activate [object name]" in the Pokemon's order set, either directly before their main orders, or directly after their substitutions.
meaning that triggered effects can take place during the switch phase since post event checklist occurs during the start and end of a phaseA Post-Event Check where none of the instructions were followed is said to be "empty". After an empty Post-Event Check; any triggered effects that have had their trigger conditions fulfilled at any point, between this empty Post-Event Check and the last prior empty Post-Event Check, will trigger in the order that their conditions were fulfilled. After each of those effects resolve, a new round of Post-Event Checks will of course occur, which may cause more triggered effects to trigger. Pending triggered effects put into an Effect Queue are said to be "queued", and queued effects will persist until they are resolved or until the battle ends, whichever comes first. Even if many triggered effects are queued, after each single effect is resolved, a Post-Event Check occurs
