*A significant [[Pokémon battle]] mechanic is altered in which, after a Pokémon [[fainting|faints]], its [[Trainer]] is no longer prompted to immediately switch in its replacement, instead waiting until the turn is resolved before the Trainer is prompted to do so. This prevents a Pokémon from being knocked out on the same turn that the Pokémon it replaced was knocked out, except by [[entry hazards]], and also makes it possible for a [[move]] to miss because it has no target.
