Passing fads in the competitive community is exactly why showdown exists . No , you do not NEED to breed your own Curse Snorlax , you try it out in showdown and build a team around it . Once you are satisfied with your team , you then breed it ingame . Also , I am pretty sure that the VGC 2016 champion , Wolfe Glick , is not cheating , since he has a reasonable egg hatch countabout 350 eggs . <| sep |> Compare this to where we were at this time last year . <| sep |> But to anglicize without an umulat you add an e , so Loewe <| sep |> Did he tell you about this budget batch <| sep |> I completely agree with you , but I have seen some places debate whether it is or not because it is on an event . If you go literally by rule of word , the game text of an event is not an ability , but an effect . The rules state that Action Designators occur before abilities , which events do not have . Thus , technically , although the event does have the word Fight in bold , it technically does not fulfill the criteria of being a fight action . That said , I think all of that is ridiculous and the intent of the card is clear . Just pointing out why the confusion may exist . I don ' t think it provokes an attack , but I figured I ' d put the disclaimer there anyway .
