What! Hitmontop and Sharpedo both knocked out, I lose?

[OJG]

Rider Delan and I were both on our last pokemon: I had Hitmontop, he had Sharpedo. I used Triple Kick, knocked out Sharpedo, but rough skin knocked me out, and I lose. How does this work. Technically, I won the match, but it gives me the OLLIE has whited out.

PS. This is on COLOSSEUM.

Yea that sux-Your poke uses selfdestruct,kills other guy,you lose!Thats stupid..............AND this is another way-foe uses selfdestruct,you die,he dies,you lose,-.-xd and colo are so mean!I guess that also works for situations like yours

 

[Naraku_Diabolos]

Togetic, you're wrong. The person is not talking about self-sacrificial moves. Since Sharpedo HAS the Rough Skin trait, your Hitmontop took damage from the sandpaper skin of the Sharpedo and was knocked out by the trait.

No im just setting an example *o*

The same selfdesruct rule was in the stadium games

If both Trainers' last Pokemon faint, you always lose. Unless it is a link battle.

If it's a link battle is it a draw?

 

[The Missing Number]

Yeah, draw in link battle.

The whole thing about losing if both faint is on the GBA and probably DS as well.

Yea i hate that rule

 

[Mudskipper]

In link battles, you can change the rules so that a double faint is considered a draw, but with the default rules for link battling, the Trainer whose Pokemon used Selfdestruct/Explosion and fainted both Pokemon is the loser. I don't know if it applies to the Rough Skin ability, though. My best guess is that in a link battle, Hitmontop would have beaten Sharpedo since Sharpedo was the first to faint.

Well, thats because if the game lets you win, you'll have no Pokemon left, and then you'll just white out then.
