Tips & Tricks

Type Effectiveness

Understanding type matchups is crucial. Remember: Super effective moves deal 2x damage, while not very effective moves deal 0.5x damage. Some types are completely immune to others! For example, Ground moves have no effect on Flying Pokemon, and Electric moves are super effective against Water types.

Status Effects

Status effects can turn the tide of battle. Burn reduces Attack by 50%, Paralysis reduces Speed by 50%, and Poison deals damage over time. Freeze completely immobilizes a Pokemon, while Sleep prevents any action. Use them strategically to gain an advantage!

Held Items

Held items can provide significant advantages. Berries can heal or reduce damage, while items like Leftovers provide gradual healing. Choice items boost a stat but limit moves, and Life Orb increases damage at the cost of HP. Choose items that complement your Pokemon's role.

Weather Effects

Weather conditions can dramatically affect battles. Sun boosts Fire moves and weakens Water moves, while Rain does the opposite. Sandstorm boosts Rock-type Pokemon's Special Defense, and Hail damages non-Ice types. Use weather to your advantage!

Priority Moves

Priority moves always go first, regardless of Speed. Moves like Quick Attack, Extreme Speed, and Protect have different priority levels. Understanding priority is crucial for competitive battling and can help you outmaneuver faster opponents.
