>>37499592I have a Choice Band Drapion in play. You have Tapu Bulu. You don't particularly want to sac your Bulu to Banded Poison Jab so you switch to Togedemaru. You predicted correctly, and now you have a Togedemaru in against a Poison-locked attack. Obviously I am 99% going to switch to something with a ground type attack. So you hit U Turn. Then one of two things happens.
1) You see me switch to a Togedemaru check/counter, get a free hit in, and then get to pick what you want to use against it
2) You see me stay in predicting the U Turn to get a hit in on what you switch to, and then get to pick what you want to get hit by Poison Jab.
If you switched instead of using U Turn, you wouldn't get the damage in either scenario and wouldn't know if you need to switch into something that can take a Poison Jab or into something to counter what I'm switching to
