Ayup! Kay, Baloth's magical rule for status effect moves; we flip a coin to decide if they do their thing. Heads they work, tails they don't.
Example being if I get Sheldon to hit ya with an Ice Beam. Flip a coin. Heads, Shadow gets frozen (and takes damage), tails, he just takes damage.
You get Shadow to use Hypnosis. Coin flip! Heads=Zzzzz, Tails=Miss.
You get the idea! **As our pokemon are both lvl 20ish, I think 3 or 4 good hits is the most either could take.
Let's do this. LEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY. JEEEEEEENKINSSSSSS.
