How can I prevent fainting members of my own party?

[shineyaltaria]

Sometimes an attack from my partner faints my leader or a pokemon I am escorting. Bulby razorleafs Swampy, or Swampy icebeams Bulby.

The non-leader pokemon attacks on its own probably as it senses a foe in the same dungeon. Unfortuantely, if my leader or other party member is in the path they get hit. Is there something I can do to prevent this, it is really getting annoying especially when doing an "A" or "S" level escort.

I looked at the IQ stuff and noticed there was a 'non-traitor' ability and switched it but it didn't seen to prevent the problem. Anyone else have this happen and anyone know how to stop the self-attacks?

Non-traitor doesn't work?

Hmm.... I've seen this pop up, but I rarely have a problem with it. You can tell them not to use the skill though.

I would just probally teach your Bulby{I can't spell venasaur and bulby is just a cool name} some different moves, maybe the Sunny Day Solarbeam combo, if it works in this game?

Especially on a Chlorophyll pokemon. Razor leaf is great for sniping. I've noticed an issue with linking. if you set the chain as: growth+razor leaf. The AI will use it whenever Growth would be appropriate, not when Razor leaf is appropriate. But something like leer+scratch, since they have the same activation condition the AI will use it properly.

Turns out that I needed to have the "Course Checker" IQ switched and that seems to have done it. I also have the non-traitor switched. No more self-fainting.

4 IQ questions:
How many IQ 'traits' can we switch on simultaneously.
Does the max match the number of gold stars?
Is there a max nunber to like be fully IQ maxed?
What IQ combo do you like best for your leader?

Thanx, marhawkman. I found out that when you reach max (like around 12 stars) it actually says the word "MAX" by IQ lol.

Some seem to work best in pairs: Trap seer + trap avaoider are awesome. Course checker + non-traitor too.

Then again if you have trapseer, trapavoider is redundant. The same as Allterrain hiker and Supermobile. The weird part is that non-sleeper and self curer can't be turned on with the one for reducing the rate at which you get hungry.

Hmm. I have both trap seer and trap avoider switched on with the stars simultaneously, for both my pokemon. Non-sleeper/self-curer are mutually self exclusive (they are next to each other and only one can be switched on at the same time).

[marhawkman]

??? Really... hmm... I guess I'll have to double check that.

Give them the IQ: Dedicated traveller. That way, it will only attack if you attack/ move and he/she can't move.
