"No Pokémon can have Honey Gather, Pickup, Unburden, Klutz, Pickpocket, Unnerve, Harvest or Frisk as an ability. Combee's ability is always Hustle. Gothita, Gothorita, and Gothitelle's abilities are always Shadow Tag. Pokémon who possess the aforementioned abilities in the video game are free to change their Abilities upon evolution without penalty. "

What do we do with Pokemon who only have the one ability that is banned in the ASB, like Phanpy who only has Pick Up? Does it use it's DW Ability?

I was under the impression that Gothielle and Combee were the only Pokémon with this issue. Phanpy, according to my search two seconds ago, is the only other one with this issue, so all Phanpy will now have Sand Veil.

Yes.

Is it possible to dodge in the ASBL?

Yes, It is in the how to battle thread.

Actions need not be attacks - be inventive! Dodge, duck, dip dive, dodge! Use attacks to block and dodge, or try flying higher in the sky to avoid an attack! ASB rewards for creativity.

Are moves like Leech Seed, Aqua Ring or Ingrain direct recovery moves?

[paperfairy]

If your opponent placed "no direct recovery moves" as a battle clause, you'll need to ask them - none of the battle clauses are officially ASB supported.

Are Pokemon always able to dodge? What I mean is, are dodges always successful? And what is the energy cost, if any?

Entirely up to the ref in question.

Is there something that lists the energy costs of all attacks?

No.

You would have to calculate them yourself using the compendium, because the energy used also depends on your Pokemon's EXP stat.

If a Pokemon is paralyzed and is ordered to chill, then it won't gain the +6 Energy (assuming the ref rolled for PRZ), right? So, it that just it, or is there a subtraction from the user's energy due to the mon trying to chill? (This is probably the worst question I've asked in ages.. DX)

Good question, actually:

The Pokemon would not gain or lose energy. It would not do anything but be paralyzed.

So I got another question.. hehe..

Anyway, when a member switched Pokemon in a battle (not because previous Pokemon fainted), would that make up the entire turn/round or only one of the two actions? Also, do you switch first or the previous Pokemon gets attacked before switching out?

You are also free to switch Pokemon for one of your actions.

Keep in mind priority - all attacks have priority of 0 unless otherwise stated. Moves with a higher priority attack earlier than those with a lower one, regardless of speed. Also keep in mind that user’s switching Pokemon takes priority over all attacks except Pursuit.

Can I use a Pokemon that's currently in a Safari Exploration in a battle while it's still in a Safari run? I didn't see anything about that anywhere, of course with my reputation I could of missed it.
