This comic brings up an interesting point

[ratizi]

The joke is that because squirtle is asleep, PT was simply going to switch him out but Peach stops him. Does anyone know if its possible to use the switch technique while the pokémon is asleep? If anyone has the answer i'd be happy to know what it is.

I would imagine it be would like asking if you can change from Shiek to Zelda while you are asleep. (Which would mean no, you can't)

 

[HeroXL]

Yeah, its like saying "can you use an attack while you are asleep?"

 

[Lucas_User]

Probably not.

It makes sense to me that they would let you switch Pokemon if one falls asleep.

 

[Kasek]

Interesting point. No clue whatsoever, just because you can do it in the Pokemon games doesn't mean you can do it in Brawl.

Let's say you have Squirtle out and it goes to sleep. You switch out to Ivysaur so that you can begin fighting again. You do the full rotation and send out Squirtle, who is still asleep.


^That would be the best way to do things, IMO.

 

[HeroXL]

you can't do it guys. Seeing as pokemon swap is an attack, like I said it would be like attacking while you are asleep, which as we all know...we cannot do

Yeah lol, taking cues from Pokemon ftw!

Maybe PT falls asleep too.

Maybe PT falls asleep too.

Totally against the rules of Pokemon.

Foe Peach used Peach Blossom!
Squirtle fell asleep!
Squirtle is fast asleep!
The laws of Smash prevent you from switching!
Foe Peach recovered using her peaches!
Squirtle is fast asleep!
Foe Peach used Fsmash!
Foe Peach used tennis racket!
It's super-effective!
Squirtle was KO'd!

Maybe PT falls asleep too.

that's my guess. Either that or he just stands there.
