Abilities often change a turn before anyone attacks. They can rewrite speed order, redirect damage, or make a switch more valuable.

Use this as a focused testing loop. The goal is to make one part of your decision process clearer before adding more complexity.

• Mark abilities that affect turn order.
• Check whether weather or terrain activates a new benchmark.
• Plan around abilities that punish contact or switching.

Swift Swim matters because it changes who moves first under rain, not because the ability text is impressive in isolation.
