Why does he need to swords dance before using shadow ball? swords dance raises attack and shadow ball uses special attack to calculate damage.

@fyul6011 6 ай бұрын

@@Simonetti19 it's a gen 3 game. the physical-special split wasn't properly implemented until gen 4. gen 3 split has typings locked in either physical or special. i.e. all water moves regardless of if it makes contact or not are considered special moves.

Neat idea! Would be cool to see a version of this where mons ai only controls move usage, but the player can still determine switches and item usage. Could maybe even have some kind of obedience mechanic that factors nature and trainer relationship. A disobedient mon can have a chance to refuse to fight, or refuse to retreat and use an item or switch out, while a very obedient mon could maybe sometimes be given a move command or some other kind of boost by the trainer.
