all status conditions ( poison, burn, paralysis, freeze, and sleep) and confusion (with some exceptions in Generation I: see below).(Most effects are not affected by their user's substitute.) A substitute protects from: Snatch will steal the effect of Substitute when it is used.Ī substitute also protects its owner from certain effects caused by other Pokémon. Tidy Up will remove all substitutes from both sides of the field. A substitute can be passed by Baton Pass with the HP it has remaining. It will also disappear if its owner leaves the field. The substitute will break when it loses all of its HP. Any damage not directly from another Pokémon's attack (such as recoil damage or ongoing status conditions) will ignore the substitute. (This includes the damaging turns of Future Sight and Doom Desire.) All damage factors use the owner's current stats (including maximum HP) and other traits. If a Pokémon has a substitute and is attacked by another Pokémon, the substitute takes any damage instead. Substitute will fail if used by Shedinja (who only has 1 HP). This move fails if the user already has a substitute or if losing the required HP would cause the user to faint. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearlīy decreasing its HP by 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, the user creates a substitute with the same amount of HP as it lost.Either way, things may turn out well for I'm the Villainess' heroes. If he is merciful, that may prove once again why he was worthy of becoming Aileen's loving fiancé, and if Claude punishes Lilia, that may satisfy fans who wish to see Lilia suffer for her misdeeds. Most likely, his reaction to the truth about Lilia will take place near the anime's end, and it will say much about what kind of half-demon Claude really is. Claude doesn't like being messed with, but he's also gentle and lacks cruelty.

Claude will likely learn that Lilia Rainworth is behind all this, and he could either punish her severely or forgive her. This may reawaken Claude's memories, and if so, he will experience another test of character. However, Claude is still somewhat conflicted, and he might not make up his mind fully until he and Aileen face a mutual enemy. Clearly, a serious part of Claude's mind wishes to simplify his life and abandon the demon half, which Aileen hadn't expected. So far, he is being cold and distant with Aileen, resisting her romantic attempts to win him back and restore his demon lord status. That's bad news for Aileen, but Claude seems unconcerned. Without his memories, Claude favors Lilia and Cedric as noble humans, wishing to identify more with them and less with demons. That sort of affair brought them together once, and it may happen once more. Claude's half-demon status may soon get him in trouble, and if Aileen saves Claude in that scenario while defending his demon lord half, they may fall in love all over again. It was mentioned that Aileen's Holy Sword Maiden powers won't reawaken Claude's memories, but Claude's demonic minions and pets are strongly linked to his demon lord title, so that may work instead. There are some risks involved, but if Aileen is careful and acts quickly, she can save Claude once again and simultaneously impress him and restore his lost memories. Claude might even be in serious danger from Selena Gilbert or the Church, but if Aileen can swoop in to save him with the aid of Claude's demon minions, all that may change.įighting a common enemy certainly helped Aileen and Claude grow closer when Lilia and Cedric attacked them in Episode 4, so now, Aileen can sit back and wait for her enemies to make the first move. This may provoke Claude's demon side once again, and Claude may be in anguish if all this tears him away from his idyllic royal life as a half-human. Many game characters and even Claude's demon minions are determined to interfere, either for good or ill. For now, Claude wishes to identify with his human half and distance himself from his demon lord status, but he can't escape it so easily. As for how Aileen can win back Claude, that problem might already be taken care of.
