Other than my horrendous luck so close to the gold symbol, why the fuck Forretress KOd my Metagross?
Also Ive seen many fucked up shit happen with speed, my max speed timid Latias getting outsped by some 50> base speed Pokemon, Paralyzed Metagross moving before a Masquerain.
Does the Hoenn Battle Frontier bend the laws of stats?
