as a cultured man myself, I can assure you that Flygon has impeccable pronunciation. He also knows exactly what a duck is and how it's the template for Torchic

[@TheInfiniteAmo]

Flannery's AI doesn't see a kill with Overheat, and since Pelipper resists Fire, that removes Overheat from being the AI's priority and it starts randomly choosing moves until it sees a win condition. That's how the AI handles setup combos like Sunny Day into Overheat AFAIK.

Also, Gyarados is Flying type due to the type being the closest type to Dragon. If Gyarados was Water/Dragon in Gen 1 it would have no weakness since Dragon Rage couldn't do super effective damage.

You should tell that to psychic types. Even if ghost wasn’t bugged and bug had strong moves, the only Pokémon with offensive ghost/bug moves are part poison or jolteon with low attack

Oh the body slam over overheat. Fun fact the AI in gen 3 cheats, it actually knows the damage rolls and if a status affliction will go off before it chooses it’s moves, so yeah it probably saw the paralysis. The ONLY time a move is certain is if the AI sees a kill. Other wise it’s random between status/buff and the highest damage attack. Which probably explains the attract. Don’t take this as gospel though, I could be wrong, it’s just what seems true from playing emerald Kaiso
