>>54231859I played this on Switch with save states
I had a Wobbuffet out against Blaine’s R1 Flareon. Both Pokémon have half health. I have 3 Pokémon and he has 2.
I save state at the second turn.
I use Destiny Bond, Counter, or Mirror Coat. His Fire Blast always crits and KOs Wobbuffet.
I use Safeguard. His Fire Blast never crits.
I reset this a dozen times. The damage is set the moment you pick the move.
In past resets a move’s damage and secondary effect triggering is based on what you do in game. If the game sees you are at an advantage it will actively screw you over.
In another fight against Surge’s R1 Raichu, he paralyzes Wobbuffet with T Wave. Both at half health.
I try to use Mirror Coat on same turn. Works as intended all the time even when no move is dealt. Destiny Bond paralyzes.
On the next turn after Raichu uses Tbolt, automatically paralyzed if I use Mirror Coat.
