Explaining the game mechanics at 37:59:Swagger boosts the attack of the target but also confuses it, so it might hit itself on a future turn (with boosted damage)Focus Sash guarantees that a Pokémon at full health will hang on through 1 attack with 1 hit pointRock Slide can make the target flinch, unable to act that turnTrick Room makes slower Pokémon move firstParalysis reduces speed and might stop the Pokémon moving
