@Marcello That's what I figured which was why I was surprised. It could have been it figuring out my switch patterns but I would be pretty surprised considering I was just mashing z for a while and doing other things in between switch-ins. I still beat Noel pretty easily so I'm not that motivated right now to go back and test more, but I might at some point just to see if it was a random anomaly.

To give context, I'm trying to beat Noel's Magic Guard Clefable in a fire monotype run. Basically, the only way I can figure out how to do this is pp-stalling and just waiting for struggle, which is pretty easy because the only damaging moves Clefable has is HP-ground and Moonblast. My Talonflame gets 4-hit by Moonblast and has roost, so it basically can't kill it. Once Moonblast ran out of PP, I kept Talonflame in for a while, with me hitting it with acrobatics or whatever and then it soft-boiling back to full (not that I was really doing any damage anyway). However, I realized I could grind out the PP by switching to another of my pokemon on the Clefable's Soft-Boiled turn, and then switching back to Talonflame the next turn when it tried to use HP-ground. This should have worked in such a way that I didn't use any PP and none of my pokemon take damage. EXCEPT: as soon as I switch my Talonflame out, the Clefable doesn't use Soft-Boil, it uses HP on my Pyroar. Obviously, this is annoying, but I thought it could have just been randomness in the AI's code, so I switch back to Talonflame, HP doesn't effect Talonflame, and Clefable is back to Soft-Boiling. After a bit of this I try it again, and again it predicts my swap out and uses HP on my Growlithe. I try this 2 more times, and each time the AI predicts my swap out. It also never uses HP on Talonflame (which makes sense, that's the way the AI should work). I generally like the difficulty of this game, but if this is an intended interaction then it seems blatantly against the philosophy of Reborn, and if this is unintended, I guess maybe it should be looked at? Anyway, it's weird and I don't like it.

I just beat Angie and don't really know where to go from here. I know that I'm supposed to find some way to get into the volcano or something? I've done a lot of running around and talking to people and interacting with everything I can but I haven't found anything. Also, I was doing the Kristiline town help requests, and came across something weird. I was doing the lighthouse request, saw all of the messages, but couldn't find the ampharos. I decided to just cancel that request and come back to it, and accepted the research quest instead. However, in the process I realized where the AA base was and finished the lighthouse request, even though I wasn't technically doing it according to the help center. However, now I can't finish the research quest, and whenever I select the research quest it says "This help request has already been answered." Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to fix it? Edit: So I went to the frozen house in kristiline again and walked in and then did something, the old lady said welcome even though i thought they were both frozen, and now I can't move. It seems like it thinks I'm in dialogue, because I can still quick save but I can't do anything else. However it's been a solid 10 minutes and nothing has happened. Like an idiot, I saved the game while this is happening so I really don't have a save to go back to.

So I just now got around to the Zangoose and Zorua hide and seek events, and accidentally did them at the same time. I went through the zangoose one, and then thought that I would be able to do zorua immediately after, but zorua still wasn't in any of the alleyways. Is there something I have to do to make it so that I can find zorua?

Can we update to the newest version of Pixelmon?

I haven't attempted the gym battle yet, so it could be super easy for all i know, but how do i beat Julia with just a Igglybuff/Jigglypuff? My igglybuff is currently lvl. 9 Calm nature HP: 36 Atk: 9 Def: 7 SpAtk: 12 SpDef:12 Spd: 10 Thanks for any help! Edit: I also saved right before picking up the igglybuff, so I can go back and theoretically get any nature and stats I want, I'm just not sure what I'm looking for.

Is in-game time based on real time? i initially thought so, but then I watched a weather report today (thursday), that predicted the weather from wednesday to friday.

To be fair, there are something like 30 gyms so that's a good part of the Reborn population
