Some users even expressed concern of the state of their Pokémon. Prior to the new update, it was unclear whether it was an intentional choice to have the Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet sleep with their eyes open or if it was a bug. It’s possible that Pokémon keeping their eyes open while asleep in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is something that was inadvertently carried over from the drowsy status condition.

Pokémon that are drowsy keep their eyes open, just like in their normal state. Pokémon under the effect of drowsy may fail to act on their turn and also take increased damage from direct attacks. The sleep status condition was not present in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, instead being replaced by a new status condition called drowsy. This was also the case in Pokémon Sword and Shield, with Pokémon closing their eyes when affected by the status condition. In previous mainline titles, beginning with Pokémon Black and White, different graphics that show Pokémon with their eyes closed were used when a Pokémon was asleep.
POKEMON SLEEP SKILL UPDATE
However, prior to update Ver.1.1.0 this would not have been the case, as any Pokémon who were put to sleep during battle kept their eyes open. The move takes effect and the Heracross falls asleep with a peaceful look on its face and its eyes closed. The short video above, posted by a user on Twitter, shows a Vivillon use the move Sleep Powder against a Heracross. This means that all standard moves, normally within the Stage 0 band, will act as if they were in the Stage 1 band and so forth but Pokémon Sun & Moon changed this to not working on opposing Dark-type Pokémon.Lol it's true, Pokémon now close their eyes in battle when put to sleep /Uy1uuiUk1n- PLDH December 2, 2022 This ability increases the Speed Priority of all non-attacking moves by 1 stage for the Pokémon with the ability. In Pokémon Black & White, a new ability, Prankster, is introduced. The aforementioned items are exempt from this however. The speed priority stages still remain the same however so Quick Attack will still hit before Flamethrower. Click an ability name to see the Pokmon that can learn it. Trick Room is a unique attack in that it inverses the speed of the users so the faster Pokémon go last, while the slower Pokémon will go first. Pokmon abilities Each ability from the latest generation of Pokmon games is listed below, along with a short description and how many Pokmon can have that ability. These items also completely ignore the effect of Trick Room.
POKEMON SLEEP SKILL FULL
There are items such as Full Incense and the Lagging Tail which do the complete inverse of this and make you last within that Speed Priorit, but as with the Quick Claw, if you use Flamethrower but your opponent uses Avalanche, you will move first. So if you have a Quick Claw attached and it activates while you use Flamethrower, but your opponent uses Quick Attack, you will still attack second. However, this is not utilised in skipping priority stages. It has a 3/16 chance of boosting your Pokémon's priority and attacking first. Quick Claw is the most common one you will see. There are also several items that mess with the speed priority. In Rotation Battles however, the rotation occurs straight away at the start of the turn and bypasses any and all moves. Moves which utilise switching out such as Baton Pass or U-Turn however keep their priority value of 0 and so can still be hit before. Normally it has a value of 0, but if your opponent switches just as you have selected Pursuit, Pursuit will always hit before the Pokémon switches out. However, there is one attack that has a varying speed priority value Pursuit. Switching pretty much always happens first, before any attacks. So if you were to use Metronome and you get the attack Aqua Jet while your opponent uses Fake Out, both of which have a priority of 1, Fake Out will still go first, regardless of the speed. There's also the fact that several attacks will allow use of another attack such as Assist, Metronome and so on, these will remain with a speed priority of 0. If the two Pokémon both use an attack with say a speed priority value of 4, then the speed stat of each Pokémon comes back into play and the order is determined from there. Logically, as you would expect, the attacks with the highest value go first. There are 13 different stages within the speed priority area from +5 all the way down to -7. Almost all of the attacks in the game have got a Speed Priority of 0, however there are over a dozen attacks that manipulate this value in order to utilise it going first or maybe even last. Each attack has a specific hidden value called the Speed Priority. This is true, however there are several attacks which alter the progression of the attacks.

Normally, when you think about what order moves go in when battling, you just think it is dependant on your Pokémon and your opponent Pokémon's speed.
