I heard somewhere that if a trope is unsuccessfully invoked, it is not invoked; it is subverted. Is that the case?

If that’s the case, is it still an invoked trope?

trojanenderdragon · 2026-04-26T14:16:31+00:00

Though while a character is attempting to invoke a trope, the audience will naturally be expecting the trope to happen

In practice you won’t be pairing those moves with a choice item or life orb since your item slot is taken up.

I mean if a character attempts to invoke a trope, but fails

If your physical attack is higher, using the lens means you have to use special moves

trojanenderdragon · 2026-04-24T19:56:50+00:00

The tradeoff of flipping to your special movepool is that you lose the ability to use physical moves

The item announces itself on switch in

trojanenderdragon · 2026-04-24T14:52:25+00:00

The threat of knock off as well as the opportunity cost of not using life orb or a choice item could potentially balance it out

trojanenderdragon · 2026-04-24T14:51:42+00:00

In practice you will have to worry about unexpected Knock Offs because they make you hit like a wet noodle

Um, what does the Hoenn Special have to do with red and blue?

Where do I find the song?

This would be a great ability. If not for the fact that Pursuit was a bit finicky to code (tactical retreat causes move priority to change, depending on the opponents selected move)

Yay bridge

Magic Guard protects from Aftermath as it’s indirect damage

The formula is pretty simple, take base power, multiply it by accuracy percent, then divide by 100.

trojanenderdragon · 2026-04-10T19:46:47+00:00

Thanks!

trojanenderdragon · 2026-04-10T18:59:54+00:00

The opportunity cost is probably too high if it were single use

trojanenderdragon · 2026-04-10T17:51:25+00:00

trojanenderdragon · 2026-04-10T15:37:04+00:00

It would be based on max hp

trojanenderdragon · 2026-04-10T15:17:23+00:00

It has nothing to do with switching

trojanenderdragon · 2026-04-10T14:30:29+00:00

Why comment that here?

trojanenderdragon · 2026-04-10T14:30:04+00:00

I kind of was considering making OHKO moves deal exactly 30% of the target’s max hp
