1. Give it -1 or -2 priority. This will make almost every mon use it at the same time, relative to the turn.
2. Make it normal type. Nothing about it says bug.
3. Randomize the switched out pokemon. This neuters intimidation strategies

I don't think OP wanted you to buff the move

Undersped U-turn is a legit strat. Pelipper does it quite a bit to get a frail mon/rain sweeper onto the field.

How would it buff it? No matter what pokemon it is, it will switch after your attack.

Thanks for the slow U-turn, bro. I hope you don't mind this Kartana coming in unscathed.

Why shouldn't there be more? You have a 1/5 of getting any specific party member, which won't easily make or break it. The odds only get better the less you have

>Nothing about it says bug.
It's a stupid, untranslatable Japanese pun. In Japan the attack is called tonbo gaeri, which literally translates to "Dragonfly's return". It refers to the strange way they stop in mid-air, change direction, then start going again. Tobno gaeri is also a slang term for going out of your way to go somewhere, but leaving so soon it's like "what's the point in going in the first place?".

Because delayed switch-ins are incredibly good anon. Your getting another Pokemon in safely while your turner takes the blow for them.

I’d say add a bug immunity but bug doesn’t need that kind of nerf
Volt switch being neutered by switching to a ground type makes it much more balanced

If the u-turner was frail and fast, it would potentially be denied the u-turn in the first place

That's exactly why introducing a negative priority U-turn to the game would be awful. Suddenly you've got loads of tanky pivots who only exist to give frail attackers a free switch in.

Just give it to less Pokemon.
90% of Pokemon's problems are resolved if Pokemon could only use STAB moves

People would just stop running it on frail, fast attackers and start slapping it on the tankiest things they can find. Suddenly, Gliscor would become the new Landorus T.

It pigeonholes the move. This would be a buff for a small number of mons and strats involving slow uturns, but it makes it much less versatile and riskier for fast offensive mons to use which are the mons who use it the most right now.
