Only time you would not be allowed to play Guzma is if your opponent has no Pokemon in their bench, since the second effect is tied to the first by the "then" clause (which you would have to fulfill the first part to do the second). If either player (or both) has a bench you can use it.

Pokemon beyond your catch level cannot be shiny If you stumble upon a Pokemon in the Wild Area that is too high a level for you to catch because you haven't become Champion of Galar yet, don't worry! It's impossible for these pocket monsters to be shiny, so you won't run into one and have no choice but to flee.

Thief inflicts damage and has 99.6% chance to steal the target's held item (if it has one, and the user does not have one). Thief cannot steal an item if it hits a Pokémon's Substitute. Held Mail cannot be stolen. Wild Pokémon can steal the player's Pokémon's held items.

No. Though rumours say they can, they cannot. They'd both be too overpowered if they were to do so. Both of their movepools are large (Mew particularly) though they cannot learn every move.

User Info: BikdipOnABus. In RSE it was a gift Pokemon and they gave it a catch rate of 3 because it didn't matter. For DPPt they didn't change the data, so it's ridiculously hard. If you're not already, use a ghost Pokemon so it can't hurt itself with Take Down.

If a Pokémon is described as strong-looking, then it cannot be caught at the moment in the game. You can try to use a Poke Ball, but you'll be given the message 'You can't throw a Poke Ball! ... Each gym badge will allow you to catch increasingly higher-level Pokémon, increasing the cap each time.

Pokémon Sword and Shield starters and legendaries will allegedly be shiny locked. Players won't be able to grab them in the overworld. ... Dataminer Kaphotics revealed today that the starters—Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble—and the legendary Pokémon in Sword and Shield will not to appear as shiny in the overworld.

No. It's just a common misconception because traded Pokemon would level faster and wouldn't get as much stat exp (or "EVs" as they're called now) before leveling. Thus, their stats would be lower initially.

Sadly, there isn't really a good move for your Crobat that has a decent Base Power. Pluck is probably going to be more useful than Aerial Ace considering the use of evasion modifiers is illegal in competitive play. Furthermore, you can ruin entire strategies if you pluck off the opponent's berry...

Nope. Once the raid pops up in the overworld the pokemon has already been generated. You can only reset to guarantee you catch it but its ability/nature/iv will remain the same.

Nope. Replaced with SOS battle. In the wild, if a pokemons health goes below 50% and its not afflicted with status condition, there's a chance it calls for health. ... There's never more than two pokemon on the field so its not too much a worry.

At this time, the latter appears to be the case: the same Pokemon can appear shiny for some players and not for others. ... After all, the shiny Pokemon don't appear shiny on the map, so you're really only going to know that you have a shiny Pokemon on your hands once you actually start battling with it.
