I would recommend switch because if YOU ARE CONFUSED or PARALYZED balloon berry will not work. Ballon Berry reduces your retreat cost to zero BUT does not allow you to retreat if your pokemon has to still flip for confusion first nor can your pokemon retreat if it is paralyzed. NOR will it allow you to end MEAN look effect. Switch on the other hand will allow you to end confusion, paralysis & mean look effect (because of the nature of the Trainer Card: it BENCHES your pokemon) -------------------- Drafts bring out the BEST of the WORST cards in Pokemon *TC Member/WizpogMOD_Squad/Master_Prof* +GodFather to an Angel:RIP-Paloma Geronimo -=-=-=-=-=- TheCompendium Team Random Proud bro of SSJ3DVP11 ipgeek21.com SHUT UP & DO something about it From: The here, BUT WHERE shall we go? | Registered: Feb 2001  |  IP: Logged xisnyen Member Member # 109112 posted April 03, 2003 05:44 AM            what if my defending pokemon is asleep or poisoned? does its status effect ends if i use switch? tnx again From: Phillipines | Registered: Oct 2002  |  IP: Logged WizPog_BJJ Member # 113374 posted April 03, 2003 06:12 AM             All Special Conditions (Asleep, Confusion, Burn, Paralyzation, and Posion) end when the afflicted Pokémon is Benched. -------------------- The Compendium WizPog Posting Rules Wizards.Community Code of Conduct From: Warwick RI USA | Registered: Nov 2002  |  IP: Logged yoshi1001 Member # 825 posted April 03, 2003 06:12 AM             Yes it gets rid of those. -------------------- Visit Pokéwatch!

Also if the pokemon is benched (either it retreats or switched) all effects of attacks as well as special conditions to that pokemon are gone. -------------------- r.g.lalic From: Manila, Philippines | Registered: Nov 2002  |  IP: Logged Maverick Hunter Zero Member # 6223 posted April 04, 2003 06:26 AM             Never say Always. Sometimes it's beneficial to Pokemon Powers to be able to retreat, just without the cost. Not to mention, the Pokemon Tool can basically just sit around until you need to use it, switch needs to be in your hand right when ya need. I still prefer switch, but never say one is always better than the other. -------------------- http://www.mhzs-lair.com AIM: MasterHunterZero [email protected] http://mhz.deviantart.com It's not cowardly to run.
