Perish Song

[BrocktheRock]

when you use perish song, does switching out end the effect or does the newly brought out pokemon get effected by it?

[wobmaster]

it ends the effect on the one switched out, but the effect stays on the one still in. the new battler does not recieve the perish song

ok i have a question about protect/detect now.

If you teach a Pokemon both moves, does it eliminate the problem of "failing if used in consecutive turns"?? You could alternate them and it wouldn't fail right?

[GyroYam]

the protect/detect works i've tried it, it's really Annoying

[RareHunterX]

yeah, i wondered that too, it would be perfect vs a slaking
or on a Tank like registeel, toxic+protect+detect and so on just repeat till they are dead
pure evil. :D

[wobmaster]

protect fails if used in succesion. i think detect fails on its own, about 10% of the time

Perish Song is passed with Baton Pass. Watch out ! I read that Protect and Detect use the same counter, meaning one will be 50% after the other. GyroYam, did you use the game itself or NetBattle/RSBot ?
