Thanks for the heads up, at least! It would've been nice to know from the get go, but... I can understand the confusion a bit, considering other tournametns (at least in the games) don't seem to mind 'em much.

Since Ninetales has been done away, their Imprison goes out with them. Gyarados will use Protect to save herself from the Thunderbolt before firing a Thunder Wave at his Absol.
