Issue with Sleep Talk / Roar?
This isn't noted in the Wiki and I haven't heard any other discussion of it, but I just ran into this.
When Roar is called ahead of priority by Sleep Talk, if the opponent hasn't moved yet, the pokemon that is dragged out will use the attack that the scared off pokemon was going to.
Example:
Playing in VTS.
My lvl 56 Terlard vs my opponent's lvl 50 Geigaroach
Terlard (asleep) uses sleep talk, sleep talk calls Roar.
Geigaroach is scared off and replaced by Misdreavus.
Misdreavus uses Nuclear Slash.
I'm not sure if Roar is supposed to give the opponent their action at all, but it certainly shouldn't cause a pokemon to use another pokemon's moves.
(also, Sleep Talk calling rest is still broken. I know that one's known about though)

Suuuper new at this, but willing to grind to get what I want
