T4 at Indy! Happy to finally make it back to Top 8, especially in the first tour on Champions! Team was awesome, happy to be able to use some of my all time favorites! Not quite locked for Worlds, so gotta lock back in for NAIC.
There's a softlock in Pokemon Champions! If Competitive attempts to activate while fainted (e.g. from Icy Wind vs Mirror Armor + Destiny Bond), the next time an Ability would announce itself, the game will softlock; both players cannot choose actions and animations stop.
It appears Choice Scarf does not matter for determining the activation order of weather (and maybe other?) abilities!
We also tested this with weather abilities for both players, but this was the easiest way to show both stats.
Thanks for help me with testing @BramStorteler

This includes the Pokemon/moves/items in the game, and the four new abilities. There's still more research to be done, but for now, here is a small feature:
I feel y’all need context here. DaWoblefet being stumped about a Pokemon interaction is like PracticalTAS being stumped about a Melee interaction.
