Pokémon Diamond Version, Pearl Version, and Platinum Version - Switching Out
Before Pokémon switch out at the switching-out phase of the turn, a message is shown for each Pokémon that chose Focus Punch for use in turn order.
Whenever a Pokémon enters the battle, the following happens in this order:
- Effect of Toxic Spikes
- Effect of Spikes
- Effect of Stealth Rock
- Effect of Lunar Dance/Healing Wish
- Effects from abilities like Download and Intimidate are applied. If this is the end of the turn, other Pokémon that have Slow Start and didn’t just enter the battle have their Slow Start counter reduced by 1, if not already done this turn.
- Form changes, including Forecast, are applied.
- Effects from certain held items are applied.
If more than one Pokémon is chosen when Pokémon are switched in from fainted ones, the above effects don’t happen until all those Pokémon enter the battle (in turn order for the new Pokémon, taking into account effects like Quick Claw and Custap Berry that influence priority, except that Custap Berry is not consumed after use). At any other time when more than one Pokémon is chosen, the effects happen immediately after the Pokémon enters the battle.
If more than one Pokémon is switched in from fainted ones at the same time, new ones are switched in in the order of leader-first, opposing-first, leader-second, opposing-second. Each Pokémon switched in this way enters the battle before the next Pokémon is chosen.
At the beginning of a battle, effects from abilities, form changes, and held items resolve for each Pokémon in turn order, taking into account effects like Quick Claw and Custap Berry that influence priority, except that Custap Berry is not consumed after use.
