U-turn

[Boghald]

Hi everyone!

 

Yesterday I was looking into best move set for a pokemon, and one of its moves was "Volt Switch". I found out that was pretty similar to U-turn, SpA instead of Attack and different types but the description and utility are the same. Well, I taught it to this pokemon and I used it, and what a surprise when I realized that with Volt Switch I can choose which pokemon enters in the battle, opposite to U-turn that is randomized (I knew that about U-turn because another pokemon in my team has this move and I had used it before).

I think it is not fair two moves with the same description, BP, accuracy and utility have this key difference. In my opinion U-turn has a handicap and we should be able to choose which pokemon of the team would enter through this move, as happens with Volt Switch.

 

Best regards.

Wow i always thought volt switch is also random :o yeah if its coded for Volt switch, i guess it doesnt take too much effort to incorporate the same mechanic with u-turn. afterall, as thread starter mentioned, they have the same utility.

Yes, they have the same utility but some pokemon are only able to learn U-turn and not Volt Switch, which makes the handicap.

U-Turn should normally allow you to choose the pokemon you are sending next. But it is not properly coded in PRO. They are aware of it though, so they will fix it when they can.

U-turn was working the same as volt-switch but at some point it got messed up. The fix will come eventually staff have just had a lot of stuff to take care of especially with the merge.
