Arent using Mega Kangaskhan and Wishiwashi's schooling technically cheating because you're using more than one pokemon on the battefield in a single battle?

In those cases they are mentally linked and basically fused. Kanga's baby is capable of individual thought and Wishiwashi is obviously just a ton of Wishiwashi working together but not really one pokemon.

I'd say Wishiwashi is different though. All the other examples of multiple Pokemon in Battle can't separate from each other. At least, game mechanics-wise. Not lore-wise.

Remoraid doesn't assist Mantine in battle that I know of so it doesn't count as cheating.

Wishiwashi's schooling is one Wishiwashi being assisted by many other Wishiwashi which should be cheating really. It's like if Pikachu called other Pikachu to assist it in battle.

Kangaskhan's baby is obviously its own Pokemon because it will grow up to be a Kangaskhan as well. It assisting in battle with its parent Kanga should also be considered cheating.

If it's something the Pokemon does in nature it should be fine in an "official" battle, claiming Wishiwashi's ability is cheating when it's something it does on it's own is like claiming Marowak using the bone is also cheating.`

But they obviously fuse to become one pokemon so it's not cheating.
>>37975646
Last I checked Marowak's bone was not sentient.

Also if it's fine in battle because it's a natural occurrence, then Toxapex murdering a trainer's Corsola should be considered okay too.

It's probably accepted for Wishiwashi since it's so weak on its own.

How do you equate Pokemon working together to murder? Plus there are a ton of Pokemon that are multiple in one
>Magneton
>Barbacle
>Stakstaka
>Zwelious
>the ones mentioned earlier like Dugtrio ect
This has been a common theme since Gen 1, there's no reason why another take on said theme would be considered cheating. Is Double Team cheating? Is Substitute cheating?

My headcanon is that Wishiswashi’s schooling ability is actually just a single Wishiwashi using the equivalent to Naruto’s shadow-clone technique.

Those are fused, the Pokemon in the OP are not.

Double team makes illusionary copies, Substitute is a doll

I'm pretty sure Schooling Wishiwashi share some kind of hive-mind, otherwise it wouldn't be able to move like one single pokemon.

I don't really see any difference between schooling Wishiashi and an Eggsecute

Kangaskhan, on the other hand, are clearly two independent pokemon. It's like using a Pichu and a Pikachu on battle and claiming it is a single pokemon

It could be argued that Baby Kangaskhan is so weak compared to its other that it’s more of a tool (like Cubone’s club) than a second mon.

I am pretty sure the baby is part of teh Kangaskhan
Proof: Hatch a Kangaskhan. It pops out with a baby all ready to go.
The damn thing never grows up either, except a tiny bit for mega evolution which then reverts after battle.

Those are emergence pokemon. Basically 2 or more pokemon act as one. Like a society, insect colony, or cells that make organs that make an individual.

Individual cells and cores aren't capable of fighting on their own, which Wishiwashi can't claim.
Besides, Zygarde is a single entity. The cells, cores and forms are just one pokemon or a percentage of said singular pokemon.
