It's not prankster it is the confusion status. It needs to be reviewed on how it functions. If it functioned like in the handhelds, then it would be a lot less dominating.

Exactly.

Agree.

Confuse ray its a porr strategie and some player abuse.

Yup I just entered a ranked battle and hit myself 8 times in a row with confusion. I might quit just because of this [Profanity edited out by Pixiu. Please watch the language!]. lol

277662 I don't think it should be banned but the mechanics of confuse ray should definitely be looked into.

 

It is just insane...I seriously feel more like an 80% chance of the confused pokemon hitting itself and I'm being generous at that. Maybe banning confuse ray could be a temporary solution while they solve the issue.

I don't think ray is an issue, you're just overexaggerating lol...lum berries is the easiest way to avoid it. And counter-poke is another way. There's literally a lot to do to avoid it even with 99% of the pvp content not coded...

You can't be serious.. O.o I rather not have my Lum berries wasted on confuse ray tbh. Even so, I feel the chance is far greater than 50/50. If it is indeed 50/50 the code needs to be looked at because I've never tossed a coin and got heads 8 times in a row.

In all honesty I use sableye on my team in Showdown,pro,other games and pranksters are a very very big part of pvp. Also on your ratio being 50/50 I went a game where 8/8 times I confused someone they never hit themselves in confusion. Some games it could be 8/8 that they will hit themselves..... its 50/50 i just all luck tbh. I love pranksters also not all of them are based off confusion ex.volbeat is based off its encore par and baton passing.

Exactly. The ratio IS 50/50 and this is why it is annoying to play both against and with it. I think it's pretty balanced, the fact that it is annoying is another story haha
