Gham 11 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Was using ally switch with Malamar and Gardevior in a double battle (the trainers in the grand hall that battle on saturdays) and found ally switch not only did not have +2 priority but also didnt even switch pokemons positions when the move went off. Am I using the move wrong or does the move not work? Below is pasted description from Bulbapedia Generation V-VI Ally Switch causes the user to switch places with the ally opposite to itself, and is an increased-priority move. It will fail if the user is in the middle of the field in a Triple Battle, if the user has no ally opposite it, or if used in a Single Battle, Multi Battle, Rotation Battle, or Horde Encounter. If a Pokémon targeted an ally with a move, but as a result of Ally Switch the Pokémon is now targeting itself when it would execute the move, the move will fail (even if the move is Acupressure). Generation VII onwards Ally Switch had its priority increased to +2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rendolf 28 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Its effect is different in Reborn. It instead switches you out with reduced priority, like gen 8 Teleport. There's an NPC that tells you about it in Upper Peridot Ward. Edited February 23 by Rendolf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reshy 7 Posted Sunday at 10:15 AM Share Posted Sunday at 10:15 AM Why not just implement gen 8 teleport, and keep Ally Switch as is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
