The player can mitigate damage from the AI's attacks by successfully dodging them. For every attack that the AI executes, a yellow flash with outward speedlines will appear, signaling a 0.7-second dodge window for the player to dodge the attack. If the player dodges within this time, then the total damage from the attack will be reduced by 75%. The flash will always appear 0.7 seconds before the start of the move's damage window, and dodging takes 0.5 seconds. | |||
Note that for Charged Attacks, text at the bottom right of the screen will indicate when a Pokémon has executed its attack, which players often use to help dodge them. However, the time between execution and the damage window varies greatly across moves. | |||
* {{m|Draco Meteor}}'s damage window starts at 3 seconds. The yellow flash will appear 2.3 seconds after the text. | |||
* {{m|Return}}'s damage window starts at 0.1 seconds, which is below 0.7 seconds. The yellow flash will actually appear before the text does. | |||
