Talk:Tangled Feet (Ability)

Any reason the page is called Tottering Steps (ability) yet the references on it are to Unstable Gait? As far as I can tell those are two names for the same ability, but the page should be consistant. User142 (Talk) 11:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

On Tangled Feet's Japanese Name...

Chidoriashi can also be translated as Plover Feet, since Chidori means Plover, hence why it is learned by bird Pokémon. Someone with proper Japanese should add this. Trainer Yusuf (talk) 22:02, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Ambiguous phrasing

"its evasion is doubled.": What does it mean exactly? Is the stage modifier doubled, e.g. if the Pokémon has +2 evasion then it goes to +4? If this is correct, then what happens if it has -2 evasion, does it go to -4? In that case, the official description ("raises evasion") would be wrong. If the evasion stage simply raises by 1 as stated on Serebii, maybe we should add that statement for disambiguation? Y2110 (talk) 15:52, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

A post I found on Smogon from 2013 in a research thread says that Tangled Feet increases evasion by 1 stage, as Serebii also states Minibug (talk) 15:58, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

So now it contradicts the information shown on the tables in the Accuracy article, listing an accuracy multiplier of 0.5 for Tangled Feet. Wrrasba (talk) 23:04, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Is that post really credible? (You didn't link it, in case it was public.)

On the contrary, usually reliable sources such as UPC suggest the accuracy reduction by half. I would also consider this more likely. Nescientist (talk) 08:36, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Corresponding Japanese wiki page also says halved accuracy. Reverted for now to match the information there. Wrrasba (talk) 13:39, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
