Figure 1: Notes for Sleep Talk in the MoveDex
Figure 2: My Komala's moveset
Figure 3: Message saying that none of my moves can be called by Sleep Talk

It's not intuitive to me that Discourage would fall under any of the categories of moves that can't be called by Sleep Talk. I'm assuming, of course, that the behavior is intentional and the description is simply inadequate.

# Is it allowed to be called from other moves
def canInvokeMove?(move)
    if move.is_a?(PokeBattle_Move)
        battleMoveInstance = move
    elsif move.is_a?(Pokemon::Move)
        battleMoveInstance = getBattleMoveInstanceFromID(move.id)
    else
        battleMoveInstance = getBattleMoveInstanceFromID(move)
    end
    return false if battleMoveInstance.function == "Invalid"
    return false if battleMoveInstance.callsAnotherMove?
    return false if battleMoveInstance.forceSwitchMove?
    return false if battleMoveInstance.switchOutMove?
    return false if battleMoveInstance.is_a?(PokeBattle_TwoTurnMove)
    return false if battleMoveInstance.is_a?(PokeBattle_HelpingMove)
    return false if battleMoveInstance.is_a?(PokeBattle_ProtectMove)
    return false if GameData::Move.get(battleMoveInstance.id).uninvocable?
    return true
end

yeah phasing moves are specifically blocked from sleep talk and metronome etc

#

probably because it would skip their negative priority?

#

so yeah it's a desc issue

#

lemme check if this is already fixed on dev because i think some descs were improved

#
    def getDetailsForMoveDex(detailsList = [])
        detailsList << _INTL("Can't call focusing moves, moves that call other moves, " +
        "Two Turn moves, Mimic, or Sketch.")
    end

Nope. kk

#

dunno why two turn is capitalised either

#

wait hang on

#

there are 4 different moves like this and they each have different descriptions

#

violence

#

They all call the canInvokeMove function, some with some extra conditions

#

and none of them list phasing moves

put this in Text and Style so we can go edit those descriptions
