Arceus sleeps.
Dewgong uses Encore on Arceus.
[Wild Pokémon do stuff]
Next turn: Arceus can only use Rest!
Also tested Trick while only one was holding something. It worked regardless which one wasn't holding anything.
Thanks for that. Trick was already updated to reflect that. The reason Encore worked is because Arceus still has a "last successful move". Sleep does not cause a move to fail, it prevents any execution of a move. Encore only fails if the move you are trying to Encore has 0 PP left, target has not made a move at all, or is used on an un-Encore-able move.
I tested Encore because at least twice everyone in [URPG Chat] has been telling me it fails if they didn't successfully move last time they did(n't do) something, and it has affected my battles. I tested Trick because I only saw Xali's post and didn't see anything addressing his point of Smogon's change from DPPt to BW. If there's anything else people want me to test tell me and I'll see if I can do it (if I have Pokémon with the move needed or have the item/a way to get it/whatever). HINT TO ANYONE ELSE TESTING STUFF: DOUBLE GRASS WORKS GREAT. And I removed the mentions from here as not to annoy anyone further. Also, I had 12 notifications, 8 of which were post quotes here.

They're idiots, and they should have listened to you as the Senior Ref.

Fair enough. The issue was more like how the description was worded - it didn't specifically refer to it failing only if neither Pokemon was holding an item, even though that's what it meant to say, so I changed it.

I remember Life-Orb on multi-hit moves being brought up recently. I was of the opinion that you only take recoil once, but other people were saying it was on every hit, which seems stupid.
Re: URPG General Chat/Questions/Suggestions
You do realise that these little 'discoveries', made by whoever, in this thread, were already known to be that way by about half of the active Refs and a lot of other people too, right? You could just ask someone in future.

Except refs have been debating most of these issues recently. Many things have been brought into question and corrected in the last week. Half of the active refs simply isn't enough. We need ALL active refs to be aware of this kind of stuff.

here, look, I'm not saying anything bad, but why don't you get one big thread in the general section, and copy + paste each of the rules into a new reply. therefore, people don't need to be rummaging throughout every bit of the general section and hoping they find what they're looking for. it would be easier that way, and a few people already liked me on that earlier post, so i guess they like my idea. and you are trying to make it easier to join the URPG right?

One big thread in the general section with all the rules in different replies? Wow, if only we had something like that!
Harry already linked you to the rules thread, which is laid out exactly as you just described :s

General is a little misleading. I don't see the harm in posting it as a sticky there aswell.

Thing is, back on Pe2k ages ago, URPG was its own category, and so had the 5 main boards not as sub boards. So, we didn't have the ambiguous "first board" that I'm still unsure of what really goes there. So, all of the rules, and the chat thread and stuff were in the General board. When BMGf put us with their other Role-Playing games, they moved stuff from the General board to the Pokemon Ultra RPG board.
Tbh, I think the rules are fine where they are, as this is technically the first board they click on, is where the Starter Requests and Chat threads are, and it just kinda makes sense.
Re: URPG General Chat/Questions/Suggestions
I agree with MK. It's not difficult to find. I found it straight away when I joined and I don't really hear the newbies having problems with it.
Re: URPG General Chat/Questions/Suggestions
Hey, erryone. Sorry for not having been around, I had what I guess is influenza. High fevers don't tend to mix well with much of anything, so I've been spending the last few days sleeping. Starting to feel better, though, so you should start seeing me around more often again. (:
Re: URPG General Chat/Questions/Suggestions
Good news everyone, I finally got a job. Now that's 16 hours less a week you have to see of me.
