Extremespeed... can... fail??? They hit Tyranitar with Extremespeed on the previous turn, I genuinely have NO idea how this happened lmao I did not deserve this win

They missclicked and targeted their non present ally

Ohhhh my god I think you're rightttt I got full para'd the previous turn, and earlier my Milotic got slept by Sneasler, the RNG had to tilt my way somehow I guess lmao

That's why you never forfeit! Always believe in the ability of your opponent to mess up 🤠

@peachypop_cos Did it work like that in previous games? That seems really punishing for no reason lol

@peachypop_cos Ye it's always been like this. Tbf, it makes sense. There's also some nieche situations where it could be optimal to do so, ex: Aegislash using kings shield vs a choice locked move, you might want to not hit it

@phunny14 @peachypop_cos No it hasn’t if u select the non space it will auto to the pokemon on the field.

@phunny14 @peachypop_cos No it's not you're thinking of the opposing slot not the ally

GUYS. A move failing =/= missing ...Yaknow what, I'm getting the damn Teachy TV out for y'all 👇

When I'm in a being wrong competition and my opponent is the twitter comment section of pokemon tweet

fighting for my life against these gen 9ers commenting "uhm certain attacks can lower accuracy ackshually 🤓" when the move didn't MISSSS HELP MEEE

The right answer is ally slot targetting, since the dnite player knew they lost anyway (or missclicked) but man how can so many be confidently wrong hahaha

Exactlyyyyy also if that Extremespeed connected they would have won and this was in Master Ball ranked, so I wouldn't anticipate someone just throwing for no reason, but crazier things have happened. I'm betting on misclick/joycon drift is the actual culprit here

Everyone saying he went for the blank target but when I do that, the attack always hit the only target on the field

My guess Joycon drift made him target his dead partner slot

People are saying the side target stuff but you only have one target. Does it not auto correct itself to hit dragonite? Maybe unless he attacked the empty slot on his side???

I swear to god the joy sticks are crazily easy to misposition in this game. 2 times i accidentally light of ruin my absol 😅. I had to forfeit both times to save me from embarrassment

See I always play on controller so I had no idea this was happening to people, I didn't even think about STICK DRIFT haha

I dont know why but this never happened to my when im playing SV or ZA. There is something wrong with Champions

A lot of people here loudly declaring they don't know game mechanics

Tyranitar gagged me before too its ok

They targeted their own ally slot, I did this last night because the stick likes to just go wherever sometimes and I felt sick to my stomach lol. I still won the game but felt horrible lmao

Looks like he a accidentally went for the side target for some reason??

It's a bad game. I missed a turn one fake out from my incin to a talonflame . Did not even know that was a possibility

Bright powder?

The amount of things I've seen "moves can miss" literally didn't watch the video 🤦‍♂️

Maybe you skill swaped Armor Tail to Ttar lol

The Alex Underhill special except it fucking loses him the game

I lost a game yesterday to a final 1v1 my Ttar v Sylveon. I missed Thunder punch on it and assumed it was Bright Powder but I've seen many people showing random misses on obvious non-Bright Powder mons, could be a bug?

I haven’t seen that before what the heck? I’ve seen avoided before not failed?

That's what I thought! I literally saw that and out loud said "WHAT??" haha, turns out this can happen if you accidentally target your side ally instead of the opponent slots

Ahhh ok that makes sense a miss input

Extreme i show speed On glizzy

They probably ran out of time or hit the other slot that has no pokemon present

crunch and not knock off?

My TTar is on Choice Band, the first Knock Off would be fine but it's not the best move to be locked into after that, in my experience. Plus with no life orb / assault vest / rockey helmet etc the held items aren't AS crucial to remove

@HectorHHhH2989 Do you mean scarf

@HectorHHhH2989 Lmao yes wubs

Is this your first Pokemon game ever? It shows it cause u don’t one that can reduce accuracy for the opponent

It should've happened something that made dragonite miss.

W bait

Joystick snapped and moved target from you to ally
