Right.

Is that about right?

Yep.

What, nothing to say on Five-Star Deluxe Special or Remember Your Training?

Anyway, I thought up a fifth Trainer Action for Pierce.

Willpower: Both of Pierce's pokemon gain 50% resistance to being afflicted with statuses until the end of the turn.

AB, if we're not finalizing the changes to the advanced upgrades before this turn, does that mean Irene has Overblade's Double Attack?
