Seems good to me. Then again, my level of comprehension is high enough that I never take notes in class, so...

[on site] Move Restriction Guide
- Thread starter TheMaskedNitpicker
- Start date
Good catch! Thanks!
Heh, I know what you mean. Thanks for the feedback.
EDIT: I've been doing a lot of research on Mirror Move and Copycat. I may also take a look at Me First, Sleep Talk, etc., at which point I may split that info off a separate 'moves that call other moves' guide, since it doesn't really belong here.
just thought everyone shuld know if a poke uses u-turn on sya wobby and he counters the poke that comes out gets hit
So if I use Metronome, and it uses Swords Dance, when I get Encored, do I use Metronome, and Metronome will always pick Swords Dance again?
No. You'll use Metronome, but Metronome will still pick a random move. I believe that the reason Sleep Talk behaves this way is that it uses a similar mechanism for choosing the move as you, the player, would. For instance, Sleep Talk can't pick a move that's out of PP. Similarly, when Sleep Talk is encored, it can only attempt to choose Sleep Talk, the same restriction placed on you, the player. Metronome, on the other hand, doesn't (and cannot) use moves that the Pokémon knows. Hence, Metronome's result is unaffected by Encore.
I can see where my description's a bit vague. Thanks for catching that.
has this been tested where the tricker is slower than the poke?
because im almost positive i remember changing moves after being tricked something
it might be that someone tricked a choice band onto my choice band something or other.
Well, I've been stalling on the Imprison and Heal Block sections. Once it's HTML-ized, is it more-or-less final? If so, I'd like to research and write those two sections first. Regardless, I'll get off my ass and write them, but I won't have access to PBR until Monday, so I'll either need to wait until then or I'll need someone to help me research these two moves.
Also, I'm thinking of removing the sections that don't have much to do with move restriction (aka Mirror Move and Copycat, etc.) and creating a new thread for those. What are your opinions on that?
I'll check this with both two of the same Choice Item and two different Choice Items and update the guide accordingly.
Nothings final - it just means its at a point where it can be put up on the site and doesn't need a topic dedicated to it any longer (corrections would be in their own threads, like the analyses)
This guide is now located at: http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/move_restrictions
I normally lock the topic, but TheMaskedNitpicker said there is more to come. To TMN: could you make your changes directly in the SCMS? If not, we can get someone to make the changes on the site for you.

Sure thing. I don't have much experience with HTML and such, but I'm sure it won't take long to learn. I can't seem to access the SCMS right now, but I assume that's a temporary thing.
