Hi there,
Game ruling question ... throughout a game when a player announces his attack, my understanding is that is his / her responsibility to figure out weakness , resistance and any attack effects to then calculate final damage. If that holds true , then if he fails to do that and ends up calculating less damage that it should be because of, say, weakness of defending pokemon to attacking pokemon , what responsibility does the defending player has ? does he have to mention anything or not ? .. if he did not mention anything, would this be considered an infraction and if so what kind of penalties would it require ? ( caution, warning, etc. ) ... this situation happened in Junior division on a Battle Roads game .. I downloaded and read through the 2008-2009 penalty guidelines from the Go-Pokemon site and it does not specify anything of the sort. I would appreciate your help to clarify this.
Thanks as always.
