How does Trick Room work?

Jul. 1, 2012

Does it just make the sower pokemon faster than the faster pokemon or does it just give the slow pokemon priority?

Slower Pokemon move first in the turn for 5 turns.

i don’t get that

I’ll explain this with an example:Musharna vs. SerperiorTurn #1Serperior used Leaf Blade!Let’s say it does damage but doesn’t kill itMusharna used Trick Room!Turn #2Musharna used Psychic!

Since Musharna’s speed isn’t that great unless you EV train, it becomes faster with Trick Room. So basically, it causes the slower Pokémon in a battle to become faster.Hope this helps! (-o-)

It has to do with theSpeedstat

Lowest Speed = FirstHighest Speed = Last

Note: Moves like Aqua Jet, Extremespeed etc. still go first,Trick Room or not.

When Trick Room is activated, normal Speed priority is reversed for the move’s duration. So Pokemon who usually go last will go first. -Smogon

So basically, the Pokemon that is slower will go before the the faster opponent.
