Hello, the rule in question is the 3rd rule of pvp, to be more specific the part regarding pp stalling, as this part is a little open to interpretation, thus some people might misunderstand it, so i need a staff member to explain if this part of the rule means all healing moves like soft boiled for example are banned in pvp, or just using those moves when the pokemon does not need healing, and if they were banned what about moves like protect, heal bell, and pain split, thanks.

Greetings @ALEXANDRIAN

PP-Stalling is very subjective and depends 100% on the course of the match, as it can be used as a tool to achieve victory. Generally, PP-Stalling becomes illegal when its used to extend unnecessarely the length of the match, this can be explained in the following example:

Quote

You're on your last pokemon, and your opponent has 4 pokemon. However, your last pokemon cannot do anything against the rest of your opponent's team, despite this your opponent switches between all his 4 pokemon , aswell as to spam healing moves to slowly stall you out and make you struggle despite having all the power to finish you outright effectively extending unnecessarely the length of the match.

Of course, this case also depends on the state of the match as your last pokemon could also be able to achieve victory if your opponent's team cannot deal with it or are wore down during the match. To put it in simple terms, when the PP-Stall is used to simply flex, annoy and extend the length of the match without a clear reason (Win condition for example) it can lead to harsh punishments as told in our Public Punishment Policy. Thats why we require video evidence, ideally from the entire match to allow us to judge properly whether PP-Stall/Switch-Stall was used as a win condition or unnecessarely.

 

Does this solve your question?

yes this solve my question, i just needed a staff member to explain this part because some people think healing moves are banned in pvp, now there is no question about it, thanks for clarifying, have a great day 🙂
