:If the battle starts and then the Pokemon calls in an ally (the first), and you faint that Pokemon (so you've used *1* move), when the next ally is called the chain should be at *2*, not 1. So if you used 30 moves when you caught the 3-IV, it's really #31 anyway and there's something even more wrong than just off-by-1.

::I figured it would be that the original doesn't count, since it's not summoned by the SOS mechanic. I forgot to mention the original, but I indeed used a 30th fainting move for that one. So regardless of that, the 3-perfect Imposter Ditto was still the 30th to be summoned by the chain. At the very least, the wording is vague and should be changed.

:::You're ''kind of'' wrong in your correction. I know the original Pokemon doesn't count, that's exactly what I was trying to get across above. However, I didn't really think through the fact that you can only catch a Pokemon when there's one Pokemon on the field. I was basically figuring you fainted a Pokemon with your 30th move, waited for the next ally to be called, and then caught that Pokemon, but I didn't really realize you'd need to use at least a 31st move (unless you just switch to another Pokemon that can status the keeper and faint the other) to get down to one Pokemon that you can actually catch at that point. | |||
:::In short: I take it back, your original interpretation was right. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:09, 14 August 2017 (UTC) | |||
