Life Orb glitch: Difference between revisions

The '''Life Orb glitch''' is a phenomenumphenomenon only present in Pokémon Battle Revolution. If the user's Pokémon, or an opponent's Pokémon holding a {{Explain|Life Orb|Presuming that Embargo has not been used.}} uses a {{Explain|certain|Usually a (special) attack.}} attacking move such as [[bp:Heat Wave|Heat Wave]] or [[bp:Surf|Surf]] the Pokémon will faint from the Life Orb damage before using the move. Immediately after the Pokémon faints, the move is then performed which makes it appear as if no Pokémon had performed the move.

For certain attacking moves the Life Orb recoil hits the Pokémon before the move is performed, whilst for every other attacking move the Life Orb recoil happens after the move is performed. The exact reasoning behind this is uncomfirmedunconfirmed although it could be suggested purely by speculation that certain moves such as [[bp:Overheat|Overheat]] would require the opponent to 'gather energy first' unlike mostly physical moves such as Close Combat which are performed 'immediately'.
