[Meta Thread] Dragonstrike's Pokerole Test Game: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Ohhh, Alola Sandshrew and -slash. ^o^ Before I make a final decision on who I'll summon against them, I've got a mechanicsl question concerning Clashing: When battling with two Pokemon on your side and Pokemon A uses a move that hits everyone on the battlefield, is Pokemon B able to clash the part that'd target them to minimize the damage they'd that from that move? I actually see no reason why it should not be possible. What about the damage though, since Pokemon A didn't explicitely target Pokemon B but instead everyone on the field, are there any edits concerning the damage received from clashing for both or does it remain like it is under normal conditions?

Second also... A move that is stated as an Area Attack is unaffected by Special like moves that hit multiple foes and will automatically hit all foes, right?

Yes, so long as the move is Clashable (brainstorm ideas and ask in the meta thread if you aren't certain).  Keep in mind the Clash might damage the user of the original attack as well, though, as that will still behave as normal.  Any targets that don't successfully Clash/Evade will still take the full damage from the attack. AOE moves also tend to be a little more difficult to Clash than most other ones due to how widespread the attack is.

Yes, an AOE move such as EQ would hit everyone, regardless of the user's Special stat, including allies.
