That Volt Switch in the opening battle did Specs Tera Electric Hadron Engine Miraidon levels of damage 😂 By the way Analytic does activates if your opponent switches
It does work when the opponent switches. It's why Analytic Starmie won tournaments for awhile. Scaring the target into switching, then blasting whatever comes in puts up nasty offensive pressure.
I did, but the average pokemon singles player seems way more interested in stalling or using strictly meta based pokemon anyways, which essentially makes the game really boring.
