Can an SOS Pokemon different from the Pokemon that called it make SOS calls to its species?

Jul. 30, 2021

For example, if you wanted a shiny Castform, or Mareanie, would they be able to SOS Call to make it easier?Like this:SOS Call a Corsola until Mareanie appears2. KO the Corsola3. Adrenaline Orb the Mareanie4. Get to 1 HP

Would that make it SOS Call, or does that not work?

In the example of Corsola and Mareanie

If Corsola calls a Mareanie, and then you, the player, kills the Corsola, it becomes impossible for the Mareanie to call anything at all. This goes for all examples of a Pokemon calling a species that is different than itself, with the single exception if Dragonair, who is necessary to making a Dragonite show up via Sos chain.

For example, Mareanie are known to eat Corsola branches. If a Corsola calls a Mareanie, the Mareanie will attack the Corsola. If the Corsola faints, the Mareanie will not call for new allies, which will break the chain.
