    Well that reduces battles to zero skill whatsoever if the fastest Pokémon in battle (or perhaps the sturdiest) happens to know Spore, a 100% sleep-inducing move. I still argue it's forbidden on that basis alone; it's a guaranteed hit.

    Makes me wonder why I didn't choose Grass as a type if that's legal.

    The thing is though, if you switch the sleeper out, then I can't put any more of your pokes to sleep until the sleeper dies or wakes up. There's also things like Sleep Talk, Insomnia, Lum and Chesto berries, and the fact that Grass types are immune to the most common sleep inducing moves except Dark Void.

    So I can legally be put to sleep, unable to do anything with whoever is in battle, and I'm supposed to be willing to accept taking a free hit just to send the sleeper out of danger, only for the sleeper to come back out and die a painful death later?

    Sorry, doesn't seem fair to me.

    Get a status absorber, cleric or a grass type lol.

    Also not switching out is dumb when something is put to sleep when its unable to do anything js, so you only have yourself to blame if you lose.

    I just thought of something. If you go to your options, is you're battle style SET? If so, please change it to SWITCH. Because, no offense, but screw that SET feature.

    But that doesn't affect online, does it?

    And yeah, I use Switch in my gameplay.

    EDIT: This doesn't pertain to League business, so PM me if you want to discuss further. :)

    So, whilst participating in random battles I noticed a rather gaping weakness with the team I used to declare my challenge (3DS league). As I haven't had my first challenge battle yet, I was wondering if I could be allowed to revamp my roster before my first showdown.
