While the\u00a0Pokemon gameplay formula is built around strategy, the gameplay clip shows that luck still has a big role to play in being a successful Trainer.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/pokemon-sword\/\">Pokemon Sword<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/pokemon-shield\/\">Shield<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>include a fair amount of randomness in\u00a0the way Trainers catch, breed, and battle Pokemon. For example,\u00a0most battle moves do not have guaranteed accuracy, which means there is always a risk the move will miss. Moreover, moves will often have secondary effects that only occur some of the time. While\u00a0attacks with a low chance of a secondary effect (such as inflicting a status condition) may be intriguing, they often end up being some of <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-useless-attack-moves\/\">a Pokemon&#8217;s\u00a0worst\u00a0offensive moves<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-best-worst-status-moves\/\">Pokemon: 5 Status Moves Totally Worth Learning (&amp; 5 That Aren&#8217;t)<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Reddit user Pafbonk sent the Poison-Electric Pokemon Toxtricity against Clefable, a Fairy-type Pokemon. Although <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-sword-shield-toxtricity-toxel\/\">Toxtricity comes in two forms<\/a>,\u00a0either one should be able to take out Clefable with one or two Poison-type attacks. Unfortunately, Clefable used the move Metronome, which triggers a random\u00a0attack drawn from\u00a0almost every move in the game. As it happens, Clefable ended up triggering Fissure, a Ground-type move with a chance of fainting an opponent Pokemon instantly. The move landed on Toxtricity, knocking it out.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/pokemon\/comments\/kswv3c\/it_do_be_like_that_sometimes\/\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While Clefable soundly defeated Toxtricity, it&#8217;s hardly the fault of Toxtricity or its Trainer. Pafbonk&#8217;s Toxtricity had no way of preparing for Fissure, since Clefable can never\u00a0naturally learn Ground-type moves. While an item like a Focus Sash\u00a0could allow\u00a0a Pokemon to survive instant-defeat moves like Fissure, they are hard to come by until reaching <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-sword-shield-battle-point-items\/\">the late-game Battle Tower<\/a>. Plus, Toxtricity wasn&#8217;t at full health to begin with, so a Focus Sash would not have helped.<\/p>\n<p>The turn of events may be particularly infuriating to watch because Metronome is such a\u00a0silly-looking move. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/pokemon-moves-dont-make-sense\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Pokemon<\/em> moves often don&#8217;t make any sense<\/a>,\u00a0Clefable summoning an earthquake by waggling a finger is truly bizarre. Plus, it may actually be infuriating for the Trainer using the move as well, as Metronome is not always useful for the Pokemon employing it. While it can trigger\u00a0instant-defeat moves like\u00a0Fissure, it can also trigger moves like Explosion, Self-Destruct, and Perish Song that will knock out the user.<\/p>\n<p>Not every aspect of luck in the\u00a0<em>Pokemon\u00a0<\/em>games is necessarily annoying. <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/shiny-pokemon-worth-catching-sword-shield\/\"><em>Pokemon Sword<\/em> and <em>Shield<\/em>&#8216;s beloved Shiny Pokemon<\/a>, for example, are exceptionally unlikely to appear, but this increases their appeal in the eyes of many players. Players are often elated to catch or hatch Shiny Pokemon, although they offer no gameplay advantage. For better or worse, the games&#8217; luckiest and unluckiest events are quite rare, so most players will rarely encounter them. Still, aspiring Pokemon trainers should still be wary of any Metronome-using Pokemon they encounter.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pokemon Sword<\/strong><\/em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong><em>Shield<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0are available now for Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-gen-9-future-sword-shield\/\">How Pokemon Gen 9 is Handled After Sword and Shield May Define the Franchise&#8217;s Future<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>A Pokemon Sword and Shield player&#8217;s Pokemon ends up on the receiving end of a surprisingly devastating attack from an unassuming foe.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":774,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Pokemon Sword and Shield Player Has Incredibly Bad Luck Against a Surprising Foe - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"A Pokemon Sword and Shield player's Pokemon ends up on the receiving end of a surprisingly devastating attack from an unassuming foe."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163064"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/774"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163064"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163064\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":163065,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163064\/revisions\/163065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
