Does Mold Breaker cancel out choice scarf?

Sep. 29, 2015

I was battling in little cup with a choice scarfed Pawniard with a jolly nature against a drillbur with mold breaker. I know that the scarf will make your speed 1.5X higher but some how the drillbur out speed me and OHKOed it. First I thought it was also scarfed but it then OHKOed my next mon with a different move. Could someone please explain how that happened.

Mold Breaker only cancels/ignores abilities. It has nothing to do with items.

As for what happened I can only really think of one explanation other than hacking, glitches, bugs, messups etc.

If X is pawniard’s speed and y is drilbur

then 1.5(X)<Y

That means that pawniard did not have enough speed invested into it to outspeed “Y” even with a choice scarf on

Even with no investment, Pawniard comes in at 18 with scarf while Drilbur maxes out at 17 so you should’ve outsped unless you’re a) running a hindering nature or b) He was sand rush and sand was up
