    That makes a lot of sense, thanks for explaining this! I always thought switches were inconsistent, but it wasn’t switching that was the problem, it’s the mechanic of damage sometimes not registering on the turn that a charge move is thrown. I guess there are still a lot of things that I don’t yet understand about this game

    The fast move damage not always applying on the turn it hits reminds me of "PID" or "Player Identification" in Runescape.
    PID is essentially your placement in the server, and changes at random intervals every ~20-45 seconds.
    Meaning, if there are 2000 players on a server, and Player A/Player B are fighting, and both do an action on the same tic/turn, then only one action can register first.
    Player A = 50 PID
    Player B = 485 PID
    In this case, Player A has priority.
    Potentially the same thing here: if you have PID, your fast move registers on the turn it hits, but if your opponent has PID, your damage registers a turn later
    And as far as it feeling inconsistent, perhaps if changes just like Runescape. Or maybe it is determined at the start of the battle

    I wasn't aware of the inconsistency in damage applying before/after charge move during ideal timing. Good to be aware of. 👍 Presumably, this applies to Fast Moves of any duration, not just 1-turn moves that you used in your example? Sounds like the same thing as the inconsistency between getting your Charge Move off as a KOing Fast Move damage applies: most of the time, the Fast Move KOs (as it's historically done), but on rare occasions, the Charge Move is thrown (how Niantic said a year or so ago they want it).

  • @mr.nankado7594
    @mr.nankado7594 7 місяців тому

    Hey thank you for the awesome explanation. Is it possible that this logic gets applied when attempting to make a combo play as well?
    I have noticed recently that sometimes my opponent can throw a combo play move before i can throw my own move even if the buttons are there. So this behaviour of how 0-Turn switching seems likely as an explanation of not being able to activate a charge attack before my opponent because i am 1-Turn locked into waiting for the damage registration.
    Can’t wait to hear your opinion on this. ❤

    If you do a 0-turn switch, can you sneak a move through on the pokemon you switch to? I can see this being a very useful technique when switching to pkmn with a 4 or 5 turn fast move.

    Regarding the Dragon Breath (1 turn move) not applying the damage on the turn Shadow ball is thrown @4:30. This happened to me earlier today but with Lock-on. my opponent had a Registeel with 1HP. I came in with my own Registeel (The lock-on animation displayed but the Registeel still used its charge move, as soon as the charge move was completed the registeel went down (i wasn't tapping my screen at all) and won the game. Luckily it didnt make a difference but inconsistency needs to be fixed.

    Does this mean that if you play a Hypno mirror, that you should throw 5 Confusion, wait for 3 turns (1,5 seconds) and then throw shadow ball? That would mean the damage has already been dealt and make sure you can switch without losing a turn?
    Please correct me if I misunderstand this mechanic 🙂

      @ThoTechtical  Рік тому +2

      The VAST majority of the time; yes!
      However, like I show in the final example with altaria, there is currently an inconsistency in the game; sometimes when your opponent throws on perfect time your fast move damage doesn not aplly till after their charge move. In this case you'll get a 1 turn switch.

  • @BlindBison
    @BlindBison 6 місяців тому

    In my view Switching should just take 1 Turn no matter what. A consistent behavior and 1 turn cost regardless of fast move and charge move shenanigans would be better I’d argue.

  • @MrRk540
    @MrRk540 Рік тому

    What bothered me is that the opponent switches and gets a charge move despite me being charged up and tapping the charge move before his Pokémon switch. He wins, because he got his charge move. I guess the issue was that there was a damage application delayed my getting the charge move in?

    • @ThoTechtical
      @ThoTechtical  Рік тому +2

      What likely happened is that they got an instant switch and won charge move priority
