Inception

Description:

The Pokemon expands on its mind invasion technique, allowing it plant ideas into the minds of its opponents. It cannot change the intentions of the opponent, but can make them think that a course of action will be effective, even if it would be useless.

Usage:

Upon activation of Inception, the User chooses what the target's next move will be. (3ps) If the target's moveset is unknown, the move is chosen at random.

Example:

Metagross returns to the Volcarona hive and challenges the queen. She accepts and faces off against the metallic creature. Metagross begins by using Inquisition to learn all of her techniques. On its next turn, Metagross uses Inception to plant ideas into the queen's mind. The Volcarona queen uses String Shot, which lowers Metagross' SP stat by one stage, as opposed to a super-effective Fire move. Metagross uses the opportunity that the relatively ineffective move presents to wear down the Volcarona.

Notes:

Inception is a Level 2 Feat from Inquisition.

Inception cannot choose the target of the opposing Pokemon, only the move it will use.

Inception cannot force the use of a Feat, even if the User knows what they are from using Inquisition.
