Quick Question: Rule 15 says that you have the option of switching with someone in your box. What's preventing someone from switching back and forth between 3 of those? For example, Squirtle > Pikachu > Geodude > Squirtle > Pikachu > etc.

Another question: If we're playing Sapphire, and we switch to a Sableye, because he has no type weaknesses, does that mean we don't have to switch for the rest of the game?

 

[zidiane]

Sableye has no weaknesses, but if you run into someone who has a type (one of their two types) beat one of his two types (Dark or ghost) than you switch. So if they have a Fighting, Bug, Ghost, or Dark type, you switch.

Also, I knew I forgot something about that rule (15). You can only switch with a Pokemon in your box two times a game.

 

[myrrhman]

So is the Sableye rule just for those with no weaknesses? Or if I have a Charizard and run across an Ice Type, do I have to switch out because Flying is weak to Ice?

 

[zidiane]

Exactly. Charizard switches with Ice, Metagross switches with Bug, Froslass switches with Fighting. Or... does that sound too hectic? Would it be funner if it wasn't like that?

 

[myrrhman]

That would certainly make the challenge a lot harder. Its up to you, man.
