[Darkbrey777]

im not understanding why sometimes diasble fail...

im using in the right moment with mega banette, like i use protect then diable then 3 phantom force to beat boss pokes, but sometimes it fail. 

please help me to understand how disable works right.

i lost against suicune guardian, trying to unlock the suicune catch.. 

sad XD

Mega Banette has the ability Prankster which does not work against Dark Types, so Disable will fail on Dark Types.

Additionally Disable is not coded 100% correctly, it will fail on moves which have 5 PP like Hydro Pump for example after the move was used 2-3 times (not 100% sure).

However while this is known by the developers already it wont get fixed until the AI update from what I know.

Disable is coded 100% correctly. The issue is that the AI can use moves that have 0PP (which happens most frequently with 5PP moves) which causes Disable to , correctly, fail versus those.
