[@TrueN8-bit]

I have a theory on why Gyarados may be going for Twister sometimes. From my understanding, in the modern Pokémon games, to determine which move to use, the AI will actually perform a damage roll for each of the moves, and if it has a guaranteed KO it'll use that move. However, these damage rolls can miss or be registered as critical hits, which may cause the AI to go for a guaranteed KO that it doesn't actually have, or to not see a guaranteed KO that it does have. So maybe the times Gyarados used twister were times where its damage roll for bite returned a miss, so it just went for any of the moves, since it thought all of them would do 0 damage. That's mostly just a theory, but it would explain it. I learned this about the AI from one of Pokémon Challenges' videos, so hopefully I understood properly how it works.

[@cyberdragonzekrom6790]

Except Bite has 100% accuracy.

[@TrueN8-bit]

@@cyberdragonzekrom6790 You raise a valid point. For some reason I got it in my head Bite had 90% accuracy, but nope. 100%. So, unless there's some additional confounding factor with accuracy or evasion that I've missed, this is likely not the reason. Thank you for the correction.

[@brutusthebear9050]

It seems to have something to do with the dragon type, as outrage acts the same way.

[@bradenskaggs5350]

I think Dragon type moves may just be bugged with wonder guard and being labeled at super effective even though they arent. My best guess is since they're uncommon moves it was a bug that just wasn't caught in development. Just a guess however

[@Missingn0mast3r]

It could also be a holdover from yellow, in a way. The elite four in that game had exceptions programmed in that let them do things other than what their AI normally would. Maybe they kept those quirks while remaking the games, without thought for *why* they were there to begin with.

If you ever feel useless just remember... Shedinja has defense values while having 1 hp.

[@nunyabusiness3957]

This leads to an interesting scenario, actually. Ditto. Ditto copies every one of it's targets stats expect HP. Meaning if you switch a Ditto in against a Shedinja, it gets Wonder Guard and all of Shedinja's goodies and then retains it's normal HP. Food for thought.

[@MishKoz]

I _think_ if Shedinja gets a Substitute baton passed onto it, its defense stats actually end up mattering. In today's world of terastalizing and Shed Tail, electric-type Shedinja behind a substitute is nearly unkillable unless you have a sandstorm or entry hazards up.

@@danganronpaabsolutevindica487 the comment is about the fact that the devs gave shedninja a defense stat. Any scinerio where that comes into play is valid. Even just casual battles online.

[@jordanar1818]

So here's the reasoning why the AI sometimes doesn't go for the move that will knock out Shedinja, as explained in Pokemon Challenges' Emerald Kaizo video: The AI will send out a Pokemon that has a super-effective move against the mon you have out. But here's the thing: the AI doesn't know that Shedinja has Wonder Guard. Instead, it will go for a random move that does fatal damage. So sometimes it won't go for the super-effective move, even though the move it goes for won't hit Shedinja because of WG.

[@rainrianryan]

My guess for why Geodude sometimes stays in is just if the AI randomly chooses to go for status or an attack - if it chooses attack it switches instead

[@mr.number9279]

Interesting run. Shedinja fared well in Kanto. Post-game would be a different beast. The Champion uses a Tyranitar, which requires you to use Sunny Day to eliminate the Sandstorm of. But that means a precious moveslot goes away. :(

[@HannibalKantter]

One thing that might be useful for future runs: Intimidate doesn't lower your Attack in half, but in one "level". So if a Pokémon has 300 attack, one Intimidate will lower it one level, which is a thirth, 200, and a second one would lower it to half, 150, and so on. The negative level boosts for all stats go like this: x0'67, x0'5, x0'4, x0'33 and x0'25. I think is something to take into account for Gen 3 or beyond, not only for attack, but also for Speed

I tried to use a Shedinja once, not a solo run but just a normal team member to see how I would do with it. Sounded quite fun on paper since there were only so few types that could actually hit it - but then it seemed as if literally everything had a move that could damage Shedinja.

[@masterjoda999]

Fire, Flying, Ghost, Dark, Rock, DoT field effects like hail and sandstorm, toxic spikes; Wonder Guard sounds hilariously OP until you realize just how many holes it actually has.

[@RecRoomPlays]

Yeah, Shedinja is lovely in theory, but the combination of how common its weaknesses are along with its base speed and attack not making up for the complete lack of three other stats compared to other pokemon absolutely tanks it.

[@globalistgamer6418]

I used it in Alpha Sapphire I think. It probably isn't good for a first time playthrough since many things you might not expect have coverage to kill it, but if you have a fair idea of movepools it also can completely wall many other things.

@@gamermanzeake In most games, accuracy and evasion uses a different formula that starts at 3/3 and goes to 9/3 or 3/9. In gen 1 carts only (not stadium), it follows the same formula as other stat stages. Also, starting with gen 3, stat stages in accuracy/evasion add together, capping at +6 or -6 (i.e. each of these all result in the same 33% chance to hit: +3 evasion and -3 accuracy, +4 evasion and -2 accuracy, +6 evasion and -6 accuracy, etc). In gens 1+2, they were multiplicative with each other. This means gen 1 hit rate could go as low as 1/16, gen 2 as low as 1/9, and gen 3+ bottoms out at 1/3.
