Another quirk regarding flying press is the behavior when it's used into tera shell Terapagos. Because the game code literally changes Terapagos' type to take the attack that breaks tera shell (the reason why all 3 hits from surging strikes are not very effective) and the fact that no one type resists both flying and fighting, the move is actually 4x resisted by Terapagos instead of the usual 2x resist for moves that break tera shell.

In X and Y, there’s a type of horde of four zangooses (zangeese?) and one seviper. Zangeese and Seviper attack each other. That’s how I lost my first shiny Seviper since the zangeese knocked out the Seviper before I could knock all four of them out.

This mechanic exists in SOS battles in Sun and Moon as well. The Pokedex mentions that Mareanie are natural predators to Corsola, which informs not only the fact that the only way to find a Mareanie is by starting an SOS chain with a wild Corsola, but the fact that the Mareanie will actively target the Corsola before it will target you.

[@GamingGuyTy429]

BRO, PLEASE KEEP THESE COMING 🙏🏾 As a VGC player, this was incredibly helpful. The only two that I didn't already know / stuck out to me were the fact that dragon darts will redirect into the other target if it anticipates a miss, and that the burn affect from beak blast will work through sleep and what not. Another cool fact about beak blast is that the heating up effect out prioritizes fake out! I learned that the hard way in one of my matches 😅 Great content, the perfect mixture of educational and funny! 🍿

[@Slimeonian]

Here’s a fun fact I learned. Anyone remember the move Nature Power? It would change depending on the environment. For example, if you’re battling inside a building, Nature Power would become Body Slam Well, there’s a unique interaction Nature Power has specifically in Oras. If you use Nature Power during the Deoxys battle in space, it will become Draco Meteor. This is the only place in any game this interaction happens

[@mettatonex7221]

I looked it up to see if this had any special implications for the Distortion World, but I was disappointed to learn it does the same thing as if they were inside a building and just pulls Tri Attack. However, I did learn that if used in Ultra Space, it becomes Psyshock. Also, apparently if you use this move on a bridge in Sword and Shield, it becomes Air Slash. Which weirdly does not apply to other games with bridges like Black and White. Honestly, a topic like this might be worth its own video.

[@endy7630]

Wait this is really cool...

[@aidanxavier2048]

My favourite mechanics involves non-type related immunities. An example is Ogerpon Hearthflame being able to use helping hand on Gholdengo who is normally immune to status moves, but that’s just mold breaker. My favourite actually involves terrain. I’m unsure if this is possible with other terrains, but in Pokémon, you can always target your teammate assuming there’s no redirection. This includes on terrain, as priority moves will actually ignore psychic terrain if you’re targeting your teammate, which is why helping hand isn’t blocked, but it works with attacking moves too. Another interaction involves redirecting abilities. If the Pokémon can bypass the abilities, such as mold breaker, it will still be redirected, but won’t provide immunity or any of the additional effects

[@1ntr0spect98]

[@leonardobarbosatelles2779]

If I recall correctly, there’s a funny interaction between a Pokémon with Sheer Force and a Pokémon with Wimp Out/ Emergency Exit. If a Pokémon with sheer force hits a Pokémon with E Exit and it drops below 50%, the switching out does not occur. I can be misremembering, but I swear I once hit a Golisopod with a Nidoqueen with sheer force, thinking I was safe because it would drop below 50%, but it stayed in, and KOed my Nidoqueen with a water move

Ability interaction I know of is a No Guard Pokemon can hit an opponent using Dig, Fly, Bounce, or Dive with any move, but the opponent can hit you if you use any of those moves as well. I know this because I used a Machamp on my team in the 2010 VGC National Championships Last Chance Qualifier, (the only Pokemon tournament I ever took part in.), & I gave it Dig before realizing the mistake I made while doing test battles in Pokemon Battle Revolution. Still have Dig on it despite that though.

[@Dragonmaster0118]

Sudowoodo in Trevanent hordes makes sense since Sudowoodo's whole thing is pretending to be a tree.

[@gaster000]

One of my favorite hidden interactions is Defiant/Competitive and Parting Shot. For some reason, Parting Shot's stat drops(attack and special attack) count as separate drops, which means Defiant/Competitive activate twice, leaving the pokemon with +3 attack/special attack.

[@MattBudYT]

That’s a cool one! It’s because they are separate stats being lowered. So screech would only count as one defiant boost even though it’s 2 stages. Venom Drench would give you 3 defiant/competitve boosts.

Disclaimer: this is a glitch in Pokémon showdown i personally discovered, i dont play/have gen 9 to test. My personal favorite is if you have protosynthesis active, and you switch in a cloud 9 user, the boost goes away. But if you kill that same mon during the sun being active(yet nullified) then the Proto does NOT reactivate. If that was confusing, Switch drampa in on Walking Wake with proto active and immediately get draco meteored. The boost wont come back

1: In older generations, Beat Up would reveal the names of the party members, making Nicknames part of the meta 2: If Life Dew is used on a Pokemon with Water Absorb, then Life Dew will trigger the ability and heal the Water Absorb Pokemon, which is what the move would have done anyway.

So, I always find this interaction really entertaining. The ability Klutz is generally regarded as Useless, it prevents items from taking effect when held by the Pokémon. There's a lot of fun things you can do with this ability though. And this one is my favorite. 1. Assualt Vest, You can have a pokemon with Klutz carry an assault vest, then use either Trick or Sitcheroo to give it to a pokemon on the opposing team who has a lot of status moves. In gen 6, this would actually result in the move they use fizzling out if you used Switcheroo before the opposing pokemon used a Non-Damaging move, if they only have Status moves, they will be forced to struggle. In 7 and 8, it doesn't. BUT there's ANOTHER use for klutz. 2. Encore, if you trick or switcheroo an Assault vest on a pokemon who used a Status/non-damaging move in Gen 7 or 8, then use encore, the pokemon will be forced to struggle. 3. Entrainment, give Klutz to an opposing pokemon who's ability is extremely useful to them. There are a few pokemon who have Klutz, of them only 2 have a speed stat above 100, and only 1 learns Switcheroo, the other learns Trick, which trick doesn't work on Dark-Types. Lopunny, for all the meme's, is the only pokemon with Klutz that learns all 3 of these moves, has a speed stat above 100 AND decent enough bulk to use it.

Forest's Curse and Trick or Treat add an additional type to the target mon. So, if you take a steel fairy mon (so Mawile/Klefki/Magearna/ZacianC/Tinka*) and cast ToT on them, you get a mon that: takes 2× damage from fire/ghost/ground takes neutral damage from dark/electric/steel/water takes 1/2 from fairy/flying/grass/ice/psychic/rock takes 1/8(!) from bug is immune to normal/fighting/poison/dragon Since there are three weaknesses, this isn't super useful, but it sure is very interesting imo

[@WyattBehm]

One very nieche mechanic is that huge power and pure power boost foul play and body press since they are labeled as fisical attacks and they dont have double foul play dmg against the user, also huge power is slightly weaker when giving it to another mon its a 1.5 instead of 2 dmg

[@Sethafella]

Not the most wild fact, but some people don’t know this. When burned, physical crits are also reduced in power. It’s interesting because even if I’m minus 6 attack, a crit will ignore that but won’t ignore burns

[@anjugupta8367]

That is because burn doesn't lower your physical attack but instead halves the power of physical moves. So moves like body press still do half their damage even though it doesn't use your attack stat.
