Four words: Dark Abyss, Bad Dreams. Enmakki's Dark Abyss, which AB approved, has 100% chance to inflict sleep and it also inflicts Nightmare. Y'know, Nightmare the move (yeah, I still have my doubts about it). If I'm reading correctly, Nightmare takes away 1/4 of the target's
maximum HP every turn. Then there's Bad Dreams, which takes away 1/8. Mollesk would be losing 3/8 of it's
maximum health every turn.

You already know that NPC trainers can't use Trainer Attack. Or at least, NPC Battle Masters can't.
So can we get a list of what upgrades the NPCs can or can't use?

Well you're the one who brought up 2v2 battles earlier. I was just responding to that, not 6v6 battles.

I very much doubt that that was the creator's intention.

Yeah, I think we should implement both of my suggestions here. Baton Pass only works on one's own pokemon, and Pokemon switched with Baton Pass stay switched for the duration of the turn (I'm not sure if we should make Roar work on Baton Switched pokemon, because it's usable on allies). The time investment required to buff your team to 4x attack, special attack, special defense, defence and speed would be ridiculous. You'd die before you could finish.

Well, gee, I guess I just don't share your cynical view.
