So does Instruct use the other Pokemons turn to use the last

You don't get it at all, Instruct makes Oranguru's team mate attack twice in a single turn.

>>28681654
Instruct IS the move, idiot. It just makes the target attack again while Oranguru does nothing.

>>28681698
>>28681711
Christ, take it easy. Obviously OP already had problems.

>>28681698

>>28681723
OP here, you're all retards. I know Instruct is the move, I was just asking if it makes the target attack twice or replace it's chosen move with the enemies.

What if you instruct Mega-Kangaskhan to power up punch?

>>28681758
it uses power-up punch again. what did you expect to happen?

>>28681744
What the fuck are you trying to ask

>>28681774
Are you special? I'm asking does it work like this:
>Mudsdale used Earthquake
>Oranguru used Instruct
>Wishiwashi used Earthquake
>Wishiwashi used Surf
>*end turn*
Or like this:
>Mudsdale used Earthquake
>Oranguru used Instruct
>Wishiwashi used Earthquake
>*end turn*

Alright op im gunna explain new meme monkeys move.

The selected target, uses its most recent move. Immediately.

It actually has nothing to do with teaching despite it being named instruct.

It has everything to do with repetition. But immediate repetition. Oranguru FORCES its target (you or your opponent) to use the last move it used.

This means the target can use 2 of the same move if oranguru is slower. If oranguru is faster you could use 2 different moves in one turn.

For instance. Turn 1. Oranguru used confuse ray, pikachu used thunderbolt. End turn. (Now you select a different move) Oranguru used instruct on pikachu, pikachu used thunderbolt. Pkachu used volt tackle.

Read the ability op. It has nothing to do with teaching. Everything to do with immediate repetition.

False

Yes you do, the description specifically says that.

HM's confirmed

>>28682648
>Instruct is a move that only Oranguru can learn. It can make the selected target use its most recent move again immediately.

Where does it say it only works on your ally?

I thought it was like Encore.

>>28682715
Encore is detrimental for the target, Instruct is helpful.

>>28681805
Instruct basically makes your ally repeat their last move in place of their own. This just means you can get one pokemon to attack twice on your turn, instead of both attacking once.

So you could have:

Wishiwashi used Surf
Oranguru used Psychic

or

Wishiwashi used Surf
Oranguru used Instruct
Wishiwashi used Surf

What I wonder is how useful it could be forcing your opponent to keep using the same move. If Oranguru has a decent speed stat or trickroom comes back in you could force your opponent to keep using protect.

>>28682771
It's not encore

>>28682771
Don't use it on your opponent.

>>28682771
It wouldn't take away their actual turn though since it uses Oranguru's.

>>28682870
Ah, yeah. I should wait until I'm fully awake to try to make smart posts. I'm sure there's some incredibly specific situation where it would be pretty useful, though.

>>28682901
Literally none

>>28682901
predicting a high jump kick on a protect

>>28682901
Maybe after your opponent used belly drum? Or spikes on your magic bounce espeon?

>>28682962
Spikes are useless in Doubles and the second Belly Drum would just fail.

>>28682940
Absorbtion moves like Flash Fire, Storm Drain etc.

What if you use Instruct on a Xerneas who used Geomancy?

>>28682974
>Absorbtion moves like Flash Fire, Storm Drain etc
You wasted a turn, you could have attacked instead.

>>28682901
Megafug suddenly is usefull in doubles

>>28682997
>you wasted a turn getting versatility out of your support Pokemon's gimmick move instead of using it to attack
what?

>>28683029
>getting versatility
What does this mean?

>>28683034
It's basic English, m8

>>28682974
Im guessing instruct would either:
1. Fail for Geomancy
2. Act as a power herb for Geomancy
3. If a power herb let Geomancy reach its activation, it would cause the first phase of the attack to begin again

Just spitballing.

>>28683039
Yes, but it doesn't make any sense, you're not gaining anything from doing so.
Your opponent already wasted a turn by attacking your Flash Fire pokemon with a fire type move, you could take advantage of it by attacking and gaining momentum, but instead you make it repeat its move for no reason at all.

>>28681654
Did you not watch the trailer?

>>28683061
I have no idea how you're so confused. You have two Pokemon: one is absorbing the move, one is the one using Instruct.
On absorbs the move and get's a stat boost, the other - most likely predicting the move - adds another stat boost.
Oranguru doesn't have flash fire, it's not absorbing anything and it's not attacking with increased stats.

>>28683091
>adds another stat boost
The Flash Fire boost only activates once.
Instead of making your opponent repeat its ineffective move for no reason you could use it on your own pokemon to take advantage of your oppnent's wasted turn, or directly attack with Oranguru.

>>28683113
You're getting way too autistic about this. The idea in question is whether or not the move will have any niche uses on the opponent at all. There could be Contrary shenanigans or something to work with. It's going to be a hyper gimmick move anyway, but if it has more utility than just repeating your own moves then it might actually have interesting uses.

You have no idea how many new abilities and moves there are going to be in the new games or what abilities and moves will be changed so you can't speak with finality like that anyway.

>>28683157
>The idea in question is whether or not the move will have any niche uses on the opponent at all
This is not the case. Using Instruct like that is the worst use you can make of a turn.
>It's going to be a hyper gimmick move anyway
In what way? It's not that different from Helping Hand, which is a top tier move in Doubles.

I think you are the special one here, anon.

>>28682636
No

>>28683192
The absolute best approach to doubles is having a weird strategy that no one has a counter for so tricky usage of a weird gimmick move is certainly worth thinking about.
Never forget: Rotom Fan won Worlds.
I Had a lot of success in XY-era vgc with a Misdreavus and a Klefki with entirely hokey movesets and I intend to continue having left of field strategies moving forward because it's way more fun and Los Autismos have no idea how to do anything other than copy the "meta-teams" so it's satisfying as well.

>>28683045

Wasting a turn like that isn't a weird strategy, it's just dumb, you might as well attack your own Pokemon because you're not doing anything significant in that turn.

Can instruct make moves like hyper beam or giga impact hit TWICE in the same turn before recharching next turn?

>>28682636
It does say "the selected target". It could be an ally as well as an opponent, as the word target per se doesn't specify either.

>>28682864

Hold back is a different name for the exact same thing and it wasn't introduced until gen 6.

>>28681758
By the end of the turn it will have 4 attack stages.

>Instruct
>Ability again

>>28681744
You call others retards yet you're making this comment. Rich.

>>28681805
It doesn't work like either of those situations. You're truly retarded.

>>28681654
I think what OP is trying to ask is if Instruct uses the selected target's last move as the Instruct move, or if it uses the last move used, period.

Example:

A
>Wishiwashi used Surf!
>Mudsdale used Earthquake!
>Oranguru used Instruct (on Wishiwashi)!
>Wishiwashi used Surf!

B
>Wishiwashi used Surf!
>Mudsdale used Earthquake!
>Oranguru used Instruct (on Wishiwashi)!
>Wishiwashi used Earthquake!

A or B? I think it's A, but I think this is the question of the OP.

>>28683312
You're super dense, aren't you.
>hmm, I wonder if this weird new move will have other uses. I look forward to trying some stuff out
>it definitely won't because I said so no matter what
Seriously, I hope I figure something out, run into you and kick your ass with my super cool Instruct shenanigans that may or may not have some fun uses.

>>28684129
It's A.

>>28683379
The Trick Roomer would more than likely go first, using a different move, which would just fuck up your instruct and make it hit your pokemon twice

>>28684168
You still haven't provided a good example of how to use it on your opponent. In the Flash Fire example you can only activate the boost once, so you using instruct only wastes your Oranguru's turn because your opponent's pokemon still gets their attack for the turn after your instruct

>>28684487
>You still haven't provided a good example of how to use it
Because the game hasn't come out yet and I don't know what new moves and abilities there are or what pre-existing ones have changed, like I already explained. Why would I strategise for a move in a game that hasn't come out yet? What sort of nonsense is that?

What I openly wondered was whether or no it will have more utility than just spamming your own moves by way of messing with your opponents. And obviously, with the right calls, switch ins, moves and abilities it could be really cool and fun to play with.

What you said was "it's not, I know this because I'm from the future and know that a move has universally, across the board, no use when targetting the opponent ever" which is absolute tripe.

>>28681805

>>28684565
There is literally no situation in which you would want to give up your move to let your opponent attack again. This isn't a hypothetical future scenario, this is a straight up fact.

>>28681805
.....come again?

>>28686373
Not the anon you've been talking to, but LITERALLY the only situation I can think of that'd you use it on the opponent is Geomancy.

> Xerneas uses Geomancy
> White Herb Pops
> Instruct to Force another Geomancy
> Opponent is locked into it next turn.

Or possibly Topsy-Turvey if your opponent would stat Boost.

Regardless, it'd be very situational and it's probably still be better to just use your own attack.

>>28686462

It is just too prediction based. A move that ends up lowering stats afterwards against a Mon that resists or is immune could work to your favor too.

>>28686373
>opponent used discharge
>out-fucking skilled, swapped in lightningrod Pokemon for the special attack gain while the opponent just hits oranguru and their partner
>instruct opponent to use discharge again
>kill their partner and Mega Sceptile is at +2 special attack now

>>28686373
Trick Room
Opponent uses Trick Room, and then you Instruct them to Trick Room a second time resetting it.

>>28681805

Holy fuck you're dumb

>>28686373

>Belly Drum
>Curse on ghosts
>water moves if you switch in a water absorb
>Swagger

>>28682901
Potentially if you have an ability like Dry Skin/Water Absorb and the opponent used a Water move you could get them to reuse it.

Also, if the opponent used Heal Pulse, maybe Instruct would make it hit a random Pokemon on the field. But I'd assume it would target the same Pokemon again.

Can you instruct a pokemon to use hyper beam again?

>>28681805
[citation needed]

>>28689169
Yeah because all players have godlike prediction.

If that were the case then Snatch would see much more use.

>>28689342
>belly drum
the second time it gets used it would fail, so you would be giving them a free belly drum you tard

>>28681893
It's "instruct" as in "instruct you to do something", it's an order.

Imagine if this shit worked on Z-Moves

>+4 Eevee Baton Passing to something with actual stats

Instruct makes the target use the move it just used a second time.
Doesn't waste the target's turn, but wastes Oranguru's.

>>28681698
I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to be the teammate, it just makes the chosen pokemon's move go twice, which could be decent if your opponent goes for trick room.
