I was fighting against someone who used rest and sleep talk. His Pokemon was faster, so he used Sleep Talk before my Pokemon. The result: He got roar in his moveset and roar is a prio -4 move if im right. What happens: He was able TO SPAMM roar with PRIO because his pokemon got a higher SPD stat and used Sleep talk. Even if using Sleep Talk, Roar MUST BE 2nd.

 

roar has a rule: always 2nd otherwise u could give a high spd poke roar and u cant be countered

in this case, this rule got destroyed, because SLEEP TALK ignores the -4 of roar

 

so he roared me alot in the turn he used it

so sleep talk must be fixed, because it ignores the -4 of roar

it seems, that Sleep talk got a neutral prio it applies it to the following move, very abusable

you are wrong, this is how it works

Sleep Talk has priority of 0. Any move used in it will have normal priority.
